    We had a lovely birthday brunch and highly recommend it for a special day! So many items to choose from on the buffet tables. My favorite was the omelette bar, and carving station! Loved the bread pudding with vanilla sauce too! Our waitress was very attentive and was there to remove plates or refill coffee!

    RH House has quickly become one of our favorite places to dine in Rochester Hills. The food is always fresh and delicious; the waitstaff is attentive and friendly; the ambiance is upscale without being pretentious. Everything we ordered was delicious. The star of the meal was the Tomahawk steak. It was beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. The manager visited our table midway through dinner and asked if we were enjoying our food (which we were). At some point during the meal, I must have mentioned it was my husband’s birthday. When our dessert came to the table, we were pleasantly surprised to see it had been outfitted with a sparkling candle. Every aspect of our dining experience was perfect.

    Came here for the second consecutive year to celebrate my birthday tonight. Our second visit was just as delicious and enjoyable as our first. We got the beet salad, halloumi, their flatbread special, bucatini and the walleye. Every single dish had amazing flavour and decent portions. They also gave me a little birthday dessert which was a really nice way to end the meal. The cocktails were also really good-especially “I yam what I yam” was super unique and truly so tasty! Cant wait to come back next year!
