    EXCEPTIONAL!! Best steak I've ever had! Do not pass on the cheese charcuterie board. The duck was fabulous! The lamb most exquisite! The salmon did not disappoint. Best Old Fashion, very smooth! Pricey but definitely a bucket list location, especially when it's all decorated for Christmas! Special occasion destination - anniversary, graduation, family visiting for holidays, etc. Our waiter, Paine, was the best! Very knowledgeable with amazing recommendations. I'm also most appreciative of the lady with Open Table that helped me change our reservation 3 times! :)

    We’ve had another magical Christmas Eve dinner at RH Cafe. The salmon, potato puree, and asparagus were delicious, as always. And the caramelized banana split was one of the best desserts we’ve ever tasted. The whole experience was made all the more delightful by Taylor, our server. She was perfect, in every respect. A special thank you to Kayla, who kindly checked our coats. As much as we love the food and gorgeous setting, we would not keep coming back if the staff wasn’t so consistently wonderful.
