   Very cool "theatrical" drinks and best full caviar service in town. Second time here (we rarely go to anyplace more than once) and did not disappoint.

   I’ve always had a great time at the Guest House. My food was delicious and our waitress was pleasantly friendly and well knowledgeable on the menu’s offering. The live dj was a great plus!

   Amazing restaurant. Great music, energy. Restaurant set upscale standard for dining and socializing. Food delicious and creative menu. Desserts are huge. Free Bread is phenomenal and perfectly flaky.

   Great ambiance, with chicly dressed staff as well as stylish patrons. Beautiful decor and lighting. Background music had a hip cool vibe. We enjoyed some unique cocktails all done to an Alice in Wonderland theme. Our server was knowledgeable on the cuisine and we enjoyed our dinner. The dessert was a creative charcuterie board made up of a key lime cake that looked like brie, olives that were made out of lemon cake balls, salami was made from raspberry white chocolate ice cream and there were banana bread crackers. A clever end to our meal. I did miss having the option to use a sugar substitute and rice with my fish entree. Other than that, we would definitely return.

   Waitress made a big deal out of taking our order all at one time and that she would course it out to us. All the food came quickly and All at one time. Apps, salads, main courses served consecutively made it very rushed and did NOT match the nice dining experience they are trying to create. Food was great but that was horrible. Also, the music was so Loud you could not have a conversation. When we asked for the volume to be lowered waitress said she could not do so bc it was a band. Last I checked, bands can adjust their volume. Disappointing:

   Everything was amazing but the music was just a bit too loud. It was hard to hear the server and my party.

   Not to sound cheap, but the food was not worth the price. The pesto chicken had no taste to it and the truffle fries were not worth $16. We also ordered a theatrical drink—the looking glass—and we were very disappointed that the flavor was not incorporated into our drinks, and all we paid for was to watch someone pour liquid over dry ice. The bucket was also taken away right when the pouring stopped, so we didn't even get to enjoy the extra theatrics that we paid for.

    Fabulous! I went there with my girlfriends, mom, & her friend and we had a fabulous time! It’s very trendy, popular, and new so there’s a few kinks in the service area that need work but the food and atmosphere was AMAZING!! We had such a good time! Our server was so great! We did get some things like silverware and drinks out late but overall I highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!
