   This restaurant is spectacular in terms of ambiance, vibe, and presentation. We had a party of five eat dinner, and the food was definitely good, but the roasted chicken was a little try. Since the sides are a la carte it adds up very quickly, so you are really paying for the ambiance. A great special occasion spot nonetheless!

   The dining room was beautiful but very loud, terrible for conversation. The food was good, but I felt that their "signature salad" was under-dressed. Service was excellent.

   We’d go again. It’s a lovely space; and the food and service were good/very good - but not exceptional. The artichoke chips were good but greasy and too many potatoes. Premium space in an expensive area drive costs and prices which even considering that, are high for what you get. The outside space is lovely and interesting in a lounge-y way but it’s not clear how it will be used, the bar covers only wine (so “drinks” and snacks don’t really fit).

   I had booked RH Rooftop for a friend's Birthday and we were immediately happy with the location's interior and wonderful view from the outside seating area. The outside has fire pits making it comfortable in the evening and the ambience is very inviting. The food overall is good, and their wine list has some very nice options, we had the Pinot Noir from Oregon and it was superb. The highlight of our evening, however, was our server, Michelle, who was attentive, friendly and had a great sense of humor. I think we'd all return just for the wonderful service she provided. It's all so often, that service alone, can make or break a dining experience. In this case it definitely made our experience more enjoyable. If you're looking for good food and a very nice ambient and attractive interior design this is the place for you.

   I visited this morning for brunch (April 27, 2025) and had high hopes based on the restaurant’s beautiful atmosphere. The interior was exceptionally clean, and the overall vibe was inviting and well put together. However, my experience unfortunately fell short in several areas. Upon arrival, the hostesses were not very welcoming, which immediately set a disappointing tone. I was dining solo, and my server was not attentive, he never checked in on my meal and eventually disappeared altogether during the second half of my dining experience. I ultimately had to ask another server to bring me my check because I could not locate my original server. As for the food, while it was brought out quickly, I ordered the Aussie Steak and Eggs cooked medium well, but the steak arrived burnt and cooked well done, affecting the flavor significantly. While the setting was beautiful, the combination of an unwelcoming front staff, inattentive service, and poorly prepared food made for an experience that, unfortunately, did not meet my expectations.

   Highly recommend RH. Great vibe and setting, impeccable service. Everything we had was delicious, great flavors. It's very pricey, so it's a special occasion place. The wine list was really expensive, so we brought our own wine and had a $25 corkage fee. Beautiful ambience, very creative design.

    I would appreciate a more extensive drink menu and more appetizer options, you go to RH for the ambiance because the food is overpriced and honestly quiet lacking.
