    One of the best meals my family has had in a long minute! We chose the spot for my father’s retirement celebration and the atmosphere was perfect. While steaks were the focus, there were plenty of other offerings if people wanted to venture out. Waitress was incredibly familiar with the menu and offered amazing recommendations based on what we told her we liked. Beef Wellington appetizers are the way to go (would come back for those alone). Portions for shareable sides were perfect for the table. For the main courses, the specialty seemed to be the various steaks. Several of us ordered these and they were cooked exactly as requested. Others in the party ordered from the other available entrees. Not one bad dish was had. Excited to go back and try what else they had to offer.

    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.

    Amazing food and outstanding service. Staff were very friendly and professional and provided great recommendations. Red snapper crudo and gnocchi were excellent! Drinks were great as well. Had an old fashioned and house made eggnog. Atmosphere was enjoyable and noise level was minimal so was easy to hold conversation. Definitely a place to check out if you haven’t been!!
