RH House never disappoints. It was a being Saturday night, but the food and service were excellent. The prime rib was cooked medium rare as requested. The chicken piccata was tender and flavorful. The clam chowder could have used more clam juice or seafood stock and less potatoes, but I cook my own and I'm picky. 😂 the Mile High Carrot Cake is always delicious. Thank you.

The food quality has really gone downhill over the years. Ordered the macademia nut chicken with asparagus. Chicken was overdone and rubbery, and asparagus looked anemic and limp.The manager addressed the asparagus without having to make a request, which was the highlight of our dining experience. Our waitress was polite and attentive, but forgetful of requests. It's a shame because this restaurant holds a significant place for my wife and I; it's where I proposed. We enjoyed the food and ambiance in the past, but now it's crowded, too brightly lit, and less intimate for any chance of a romantic dinner. In the over 11 years since we've been married, this is only the fifth time we've eaten here, and I do not know that we'll ever come back given the superior quality of food that's available in the area.
