my first time here for brunch with my friend & I love the atmosphere. I believe it was a sunday so chill vibes from the guests. The servers took a while coming up to me though but other than that, food was great. Also, I would probably skip the mini lobster rolls with cavier. It was bit too buttery/oily for me

RH Guesthouse is a spectacularly beautiful restaurant located in the Meatpacking district of NYC. The food all-around was excellent, the service was great, and the whole ambiance inside is wonderful. They even have a gorgeous cavier / champagne bar downstairs. If you're looking for a fancy date night or business lunch downtown this is your spot!

AMAZING. I visited NYC this past weekend, and my friend and I randomly decided to pop in for caviar and champagne. We were able to be seated outside without reservations. When I say "outside", it was really more of a covered outdoor area with very comfortable seating and beautiful lighting. Our waiter, Austin, was very accommodating, fun, and attentive. We ordered the lobster rolls with caviar, and honey, they were DIVINE. The rolls were tiny but oh so good. We also ordered the truffle fries which were amazing. Be sure to visit the bathroom... it's stunning. I will be sure to go for dinner the next time I'm in NYC.

The RH Guesthouse is an amazing spot for a date night with incredible food. We absolutely loved the ambiance and décor—super modern and minimalist. I ordered the branzino, and the quality was outstanding, just like what you’d get in Italy: fresh, light, and full of flavor. The steak was cooked to perfection as well. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!

I brought my daughter here for her 20th birthday. ​It's important not to confuse The RH Guesthouse Dining Room with the Rooftop Restaurant. Both are exceptional and offer very different dining experiences. We were thoroughly impressed with the ambiance of the space and the overall experience. ​Our waiter for the dining experience was fantastic; he even took a to-go order for my daughter's twin brother, who was recovering from the flu at home. The restaurant and its staff were truly excellent.

Celebrating my niece’s birthday in the City. We had to keep pushing the time for our reservation. Our party of nine was arriving from three separate locations, all stuck in traffic. Once we arrived we were greeted and seated. The service was wonderful, we had a small child with us and our server made sure his meal arrived with our first course. Snapped a photo of the Arnold Palmer and grilled Branzino, too busy enjoying the food and atmosphere to take more.

This place its pricy but so worth it. We had the waffles, pancakes and the avocado toast and everything was AMAZING. Those waffles almost made me forget my name. The place is beautiful, specially if you sit in the gallery by the entrance. My only complaint is that we ordered a fruit bowl and it was very underwhelming. Other than that everything excellent!!
