We originally thought we had reservations at our RH where we had eaten before and really enjoyed it. We were disappointed when we discovered the mistake but so pleasantly delighted when we got to The guest house . The food, the staff and the overall audience were all delightful. All five of us agreed that we would definitely go back.
