This was our second time at RH and it did not disappoint! Our first time was for lunch on our anniversary. Tonight was dinner for my sister-in-law’s birthday. RH has now become one of our favorite places to eat!

Have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. Met a good friend and thankfully were tucked in a back corner booth (quieter) and could enjoy our conversation. It is a little noisy when crowded, but not awful- and tables are placed a nice distance apart- unlike some restaurants where the tables are on top of each other. Resisted the bread pudding French toast today, but may need to go back soon to try that! Only disappointment was that they didn’t have their blueberry scones- the absolute best I’ve ever had!

We have eaten at Mill Valley Kitchen several times before so when we were planning to meet with friends for lunch we suggested Mill Valley Kitchen. They also really enjoyed the food and the ambience. Our server was very good as well. We will return!
