    Against my better judgement, I highly recommend this place. Letting the world know about a fantastic place is great for the business, but ultimately makes it harder to get a table when it’s been discovered. But since I love this place and the folks who work there so much I’m willing to take that risk. Everything they touch is delicious! Not to mention the fabulousl cocktails they create. Service is always outstanding and food comes quick via one of their friendly waitstaff. Enjoy!

    This is a very special place tucked away in the Juanita Kirkland, Kenmore neighborhood. This is my new favorite place to eat. I like to come here on Sundays with my sister or mom. I’ve tried just about everything on the menu. I could eat the flapjacks and eggs every single day. They are the perfect food combination for me.

    I always enjoy The Guest House. The food is great. The vibe is fun. The staff is fantastic! We normally go to The Guest House on a Friday. This was my first time on a Thursday. We stayed until almost 9pm thinking that's when they closed. In reality, they close at 8pm on Thursdays, but they didn't boot us out. Sorry, Guest House! I'll know for next time. :)

    Really good food, but small menu and they are frequently "out of" one dish. Apps are interesting but very small.

    It's truly a hidden gem. We love it for its casual, no-fuss atmosphere, super nice and attentive staff, good cocktails, and the best pizza on the Eastside hands down. Oh, and you need to try their recently added farm plates, so good!

    Another great meal at The Guest House! My husband and I both had the Wild Sockeye Salmon, two different salads and shared a fried green tomato appetizer. Everything was delicious and the service was great. My favorite thing about this restaurant is that the courses come out perfectly timed, never rushed. In a world where everyone is in a hurry, this is a delightful change.
