The Guest House - The oysters weren't bad - New American Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Guest House is truly one of my favorite restaurants! The food, atmosphere, and overall experience are always amazing, but the customer service is what really sets them apart. Everyone is so welcoming, attentive, and goes above and beyond every time we visit. And I have to mention the espresso martinis--they are the BEST! They're always perfectly made and are a must-order every time. Whether you're looking for a fun night out, a great dinner, drinks with friends, or a place to host a special event, Guest House is definitely the place to go. It's become our go-to for all of our events and nights out, and I can't recommend it enough! read more

Happy House at The Guest House Scottsdale is a must. With $9 cocktails and bites ranging from $2 oysters to the F.O. Burger for $18 you can't go wrong. The complimentary bread service is worthy of a return trip. The Mulugheta Mojito was refreshing, and the oysters were probably some of the bests I ever tasted, not too brine and the Thai fries portion size is huge. I would also recommend the tuna cones over the spicy salmon cones. Get there early because the bar seating fills up quicky! read more

Ahhhh the Guest House. Friends tell me this place has a new name every few years, but I think this one is very cool - gives vibes of a rich person in the Hamptons. Anyway, we had a reservation and showed up, and service was kind and inobtrusive. It's very dark, with high ceilings and we sat in a pretty small area. The food was good. Not bad, not great, just...good. We had cacio e pepe (very small portion), pear and gorgonzola salad, and squash risotto. We did not imbibe, but this is where the place truly shines. They have theatrical cocktails (there are videos on YouTube and tiktok) and they are truly spectacular to look at. Someone at a neighboring table ordered one, and whoa. If I were out to spend the big bucks I would have done that too. I enjoyed our meal there, and it wasn't fabulous but it wasn't bad. It was solidly good. I would be interested to try a few more dishes at some point when I'm back in town - if you haven't, you should at least check out the cocktails. read more

Really disappointed in the lack of recovery here. I reached out directly to the team about food poisoning that my husband and I experienced after dining here (on my husband's birthday) and all we got was an offer to make another reservation (how does that help the food poisoning?) and the Director of Ops Ceferin Olivia ghosting us via email... The very least that they could do to make up for the lack of sanitation is refund our entrees. Definitely will not be back, and will not be recommending to others. read more

If you're looking for something intimate i don't recommend coming here, it is very loud. Service was decent, nothing rude or anything just feel like our waitress was very monotone but i'm sure she had a long night. I got the Tulgey woods to drink and the margaritas tasted so good, it was a little pricey though ($50). We also got the bread for an appetizer and the bread was so amazing, super buttery and soft but crispy. To eat i got the Scallops and the scallops were actually cooked perfectly. We also got a side of potatoes and carrots, the potatoes were pretty good, though it tasted like most of its seasoning was just butter. The carrots however are very spicy so it was a little surprising. I believe they have some sort of curry on them. Overall pretty good, they managed to handle my nut allergy good as well :) read more

The ambience and vibes at this place are amazing; dark, moody, and upscale. We especially loved that they do half-priced bottles of wine on Mondays! The cocktails were good, but extremely overpriced. We tried an array of dishes, and unfortunately, the only things we really enjoyed were the two pastas: the spicy vodka and cacio e pepe. All of our main courses were a major letdown. We ordered the Parmesan-crusted filet, but the meat was very low quality and it wasn't cooked the way I requested. We also tried the butcher's cut and had the same issue. We didn't complain or send either back, but we barely touched either entrée. Our waitress didn't seem to notice or care that we hadn't eaten them. We also ordered the crab cake, which tasted fishy and didn't seem fresh. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place. The atmosphere is great, but at this price point, there are much better options. read more

Walking into the guest house for dinner you are invited by a warm ambience light, with a nice layout of the restaurant and great customer services all around As for the food, yes this restaurant is more on the expensive side and everything comes à la carte, but putting price aside, the food were: Branzino- 5/5- the fish was cooked to perfection. It has that light seared charred flavor and the fish of course fresh. It was flaky mild and sweet.. you don't get that fishy flavor. As for the sauce that I would describe it as a chimichurri with capers that it came with. Ribeye- 4/5 you can never go wrong with the ribeye, but it's not something I will highlight as it was very basic for a high end restaurant. Meat was cooked great, but lacking that essential flavor of rosemary, garlic, butter Pork chop-5/5- I ordered this medium well and it came out to perfect! The meat was tender and the sauce that came with it complimented the meat so well. Additionally is entrée comes with two small sides: Latto bean with some type of barbecue tasting flavor . Sooo good. And the second side was like a charred kale salad. I would definitely recommend this dish. braised short rib- 3.8/5, from my sample bite that I got, this was another basic dish. Something was missing from this dish where the sauce needed some umami flavor or something to complement the dish altogether Scallop ceviche 1/5- definitely the worst item on the menu. There were barely any scallop on the shell and it was super fishy tasting even with the yuzu, lime sauce. Overall, this is a nice place to grab food and drink, but could use some enhancement of a few of their dishes being a high end restaurant. read more

Although there's valet, the Scotsdale Quarter has nearby and free garage parking. What's neat about The Guest House is that they have have 4 distinct eating areas: the bar area, outside, a long hallway, and a large room with round tables. It's pretty neat how each area has a different sort of decor and atmosphere. Note that The Guest House is part of the InKind selection of restaurants. It's an app that basically gets you 20% off of 180+ restaurants in the Phoenix area. I suggest waiting for a Costco sale on InKind gift cards to get even more savings (generally 35% off). I tried out a Butcher's Cut, spicy rigatoni, and a warm toffee butter cake. I found it odd that they don't have a menu for their desserts; you have to ask for it to be told to you orally. My bill came out to be $131.59 (includes tax and tip). I would have loved the steak filet to come with a few small sides. The spicy rigatoni wasn't even spicy, and the toffee butter cake was warm and delicious. The complimentary bread was also nice. The server was kind and congenial. The only hiccup there was that it took a long time for my dessert to be served to me. read more

Loved this place! The drinks were amazing, and the ambiance was one of the best restaurants in Phoenix. We loved the guitar musician that walks around and plays in the restaurant. read more

My husband and I had such a wonderful experience at The Guest House! The inside is absolutely beautiful and has this old-world feel with the velvet and vintage-style decor. It really makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. I had the braised short rib, and it was exceptionally delicious. So tender and full of flavor! My husband had the steak, which had a really great flavor and was cooked well. My only complaint would be that for the price, I expected the steak to be a larger cut. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience and loved the atmosphere. It's such a beautiful place for a special night out! read more

I had such an excellent experience at The Guest House. I love the when I make a reservation and I don't have to wait! Immediately as we got there, we were seated right away. Our waitress brought informed us the chef requires we order everything at once so they can work on our order in a time manner. While we waited, we got their house bread. It was soft, flaky and butter, so good. We got the crab cake and it was different but really delicious. I got the lamb chops, and my friend got butcher's cut steak. The steak was really tender and melted in my mouth. The lamb chops are also really juicy and tender. For sides we got the Wagyu fried rice, misso mushrooms and sweet corn pudding. I wasn't impressed with the way fried rice, for the price point I feel like they could do better! The sweet corn pudding was delicious. Dessert option was amazing. Honestly it was such a great experience. Our waitress was amazing, our food was brought in a time manner. The restaurant has a lovely interior. I will definitely be back! read more

Food was great- decent size salad which should be expected for the price. The reason I gave it a 4 is purely because of price. Main entrees are pricey for the amount of food you get and the drinks are pricey for what you get. read more

The previous restaurant at this location was Etta, and the interior has pretty much stayed the same. We came here for Happy Hour on a Saturday with a couple of friends. We made a reservation for 4 p.m. to beat the crowd, and that was a good idea because it started getting busy about 30 minutes after we arrived. We ordered quite a few cocktails from the Happy Hour menu, plus the theatrical Tulgey Woods. We also ordered almost every food item from the Happy Hour menu. Yup, we took this opportunity to try them all! We liked all of our drinks, especially the Tulgey Woods. It was definitely pretty and perfect for Instagram pictures, with the dry ice smoke pouring over the drinks, but we didn't think it was worth $55. The food presentations were beautiful, but the taste was just decent. I do have to give a shout-out to our server because he was awesome. Unfortunately, I was a little too buzzed to remember his name. LOL. Well, I tried, I reviewed, and I'm glad we came to give it a try. read more

I wish I took pics last night but we had such a great meal, fantastic service and fabulous time I forgot to take out my phone! That says a lot right there. From the valet, to the hostess taking us early on Father's Day, to the entire waitstaff and every part of the meal which made it a fabulous evening. I had the Caesar salad which was excellent, the bread which is more like a melt in your mouth brioche, dirty martini- medium and perfect, lamb cooked to perfection and cookie masterpiece dessert. The atmosphere is perfect here....not too too anything but just right. Loved it and will absolutely go back! read more

We had dinner here on a Thursday night and it was quite busy in the main dinning room although lots of seating in the bar area. The menu was more meat and pasta forward, but we shared the ceasar salad, cauliflower main, steak, truffle fries and asparagus. They also brought us some fresh bread which seemed like more of a croissant bread. The bread was delicious but definitely buttery, the highlights for me was the salad and the FRIES- I think these were the best fries I've had in a long time, so good that I ate the whole portion and we had to pack the cauliflower and asparagus to go. I would have been completely satisfied with just a order of fries and the salad! We did end with the sundae which was huge and being full on fries we left majority of it! Will definitely be back! read more

Our experience at The Guest House was a fun one, and we will certainly be back! The food was delicious, and the theatrical drinks are worth the up-charge. Especially The Magic Mushroom! The decor and vibe of the establishment was beautiful and made for a pleasurable eating experience. The service was also top notch and everyone was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. There was an issue with the reservation running behind and a couple of other hiccups. But I'd like to make it known that a lot of it was out of The Guest House's control, and they handled it with grace and ensured it was made right! Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a chic and delicious dining experience. read more

Took our friends for dinner and had a great experience start to finish! We had been to Etta in that building and were not fans. TOTALLY different experience now! HIlights for apps were the Charred Moroccan Beets and the pear and Gorgonzola salad. ȚHe shrimp cocktail was awesome. One of our friends loved the Tuna and Cavier cones. The entree star for me was the spicy rigatoni while my wife got the chicken tenders app and parm truffle fries. The impressive looking dessert was a miss ...but that was the only one. Kaleb B was our server and a star! He gets 5 stars as well. Great guidance thru the menu and kept my wife's drink full (top priority for her) A++ Overall! read more

The guest has is an amazing upscale experience in the kierland area. We ordered the seafood platter for two and were overwhelmed by the amount and variety of food. The steak tartar bites were delicious, and we also ordered the corn pudding which is not pictured but would highly recommend. The only thing we didn't love were both of the cocktails we ordered from the cocktail menu, so we opted for classic cocktails instead. read more

Well that was underwhelming. The best thing about this restaurant was the guitarist! He is a vibe- the vibe! He's interactive and its a fun change. So we got sat 45 min after our reservation time. Our server was kind, but really slow. Took me 45min to get a drink once seated, and it was wine. My friends got their cocktails before me, even her appetizer. The timing of his presence and getting a new drink didn't match up, but by the time I needed a new one, he didn't come back until the bill The food-the bread is beautiful, its like a brioche croissant. My salmon was so under cooked. I realized he never asked how I would like it cooked. Due to my allergy, I didn't get the butter on top which given the textire of it undercooking and adding would have been even more mushy. The whole dish had not one speck of any salt at minimum. I ordered a side of brocollini and it was very crispy! Just grabbing it with my fork was difficult, I needed a steak knife because that butter knife was not enough! I spent 100 on salmon, broccolini and one glass of wine (because he never came back in time). My friends said her pasta was good, but definitely not cacio e pepe Saw it. read more

The Guest House (took over the old Etta space) is a visual masterpiece. You don't just walk in; you descend into a world where the lighting makes everyone look like they've just finished a green juice cleanse and the bass is just loud enough to make you give up on talking about anything significant and start talking about another round of tequila. I went for the "Don't Be A Prick," which is served in a glass cactus because, of course, it is. It's a spicy mezcal situation that tastes like a desert sunset and questionable decisions. It's the kind of drink that makes you feel like you could successfully start a podcast or lead a desert expedition, right up until you try to stand up, which I learned the hard way. Pro Tip: Wear your "good" shoes. Not your "I'm going for a walk" shoes, but your "I might be photographed near a velvet rope" shoes. read more

Came for a large group (30+ ppl) dinner and The Guest House did not disappoint. Service was fantastic with the amount of people we had and the food was amazing. I was not expecting top tier food, but I definitely was impressed by the end of the night! Favorites: Little gem Caesar salad Spicy rigatoni Salmon Yukon potato puree (so much flavor!) Salmon was one of the best I've had - the filet was so tender (melt in your mouth), cooked perfectly. I love mushrooms, so the added mushrooms in this dish was perfect. I would skip the cacio e pepe, only because everything else made this pasta taste boring. I was also disappointed in the dessert but I didn't take off stars for this because I was already full from the amazing food earlier in the meal. read more

Our server Josh and the manager handled everything perfectly so this does not reflect on them but this experience was a huge disappointment overall. Ambience-not meant for the romantic date we were so looking forward to. The 2 tops are all sandwiched together. We were in the middle of 2 other 2 tops. Both had major traffic flow on either side. We felt like we were in the middle seat on an airplane-that's how tight the tables were pushed together. I felt the guys breath next to us as he was hacking away on us. This space should definitely have 2 two tops and not three. (The area backed up to the kitchen). I also scoped out the other 2 tops in the restaurant. All were either sandwiched or against a wall in a room with large parties. Food/wine-terrible. We ordered puréed potatoes, brussel sprouts, filet and lamb. My 7 ounce filet was more like 4 ounces and I had to saw it to eat it. My husband ordered his lamb medium rare and it was medium well. Brussel sprouts were inedible. They were drenched in syrup and tasted like an overly sweet dessert. The potatoes tasted like an instant mix. Wine-worst pours ever. Around 22-25 per glass. 4 ounces max. Bathrooms-the absolute deal breaker for me. Filthy. Trash overflowing. Toilets not flushing. Diaper changing stations in the stalls. Not elegant at all. I hope this place makes it. It was busy and the staff was lovely but what a huge huge disaster of a night overall. We won't be back. read more

My fiancé and I had a fantastic experience at The Guest House! From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. Our server, Caleb, was amazing, friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. The drinks were incredible as well. Huge shoutout to the bartender for crafting some amazing cocktails that really added to the experience! I also want to recognize Eddie, the General Manager, for his exceptional customer service. He was welcoming, professional, and genuinely made my fiancé and I feel valued as guests. I have rarely met such a wonderful and genuine human being. Overall, great atmosphere, great drinks, and most importantly, great people. We'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend The Guest House to anyone looking for a great experience in Phoenix! read more

We went to Guest House this past weekend and absolutely loved our experience from start to finish. First, the decor - you walk in and are welcomed by an upscale, coastal Mediterranean vibe that for me, personally, made me want to gut my house and redo it :-). Then came the service. I have Celiac and rarely have I had a server that walked through an entire menu with me, noting what was gluten-free and what could be made gluten-free. It went from me thinking I only had a few options to then not being able to decide. We ordered the Wagyu Pastrami (we absolutely recommend this), my husband had the pork chop, and I had the squash risotto (I am eating the leftovers as I type this). For beverages, my husband chose two different Bordeauxs (both great) and I chose the The Gryphon - I highly recommend this as a honey butter-infused bourbon is the way to go. While we had no room for dessert, they do have a gluten-free sundae in case dessert is more your speed :). The meal is on the pricier side but completely worth it! read more

My husband and I like to go out to dinner with one of our favorite couples at least once every couple of months. This time we decided to come here to The Guest House and it was wonderful! We were promptly seated for our 6:30 reservation! Our waiter, Colton, was marvelous! He made great suggestions, and he was very attentive without being intrusive. The ambience is stunning and it's beautifully decorated, which makes for a perfect date night. Now let's talk about the food. I had the ribeye top-cap and it simply melted it in my mouth! It had a slightly smoky flavor and was charred perfectly. I had them cook it at medium rare plus and it was perfect. My husband and the other gentleman with us, had the bone-in ribeye. I watched my husband take his first bite, and he looked as though he was having an out-of-body experience! He closed his eyes, as he began to rock side to side and moan a little bit! He said it was that good! I also had a lobster tail for an appetizer and we also. We had several appetizers, including a crabcake, shrimp cocktail, and a lobster tail. All were wonderful. For dinner we had bone in ribeye filet mignon and I had the ribeye top-cap!! BAAABY!! Let me talk about that ribeye top cap for a moment! Stunning! Wonderful! Outstanding! Delicious! Melt in your mouth goodness! Did I use enough adjectives for you? If you can't tell, I loved it! We also had a side of crab meat and a side of king crab. For dessert we had the butter cake with caramel sauce and it was outstanding. We thoroughly thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed our food in our time here, but it wasn't cheap! Our bill for the four of us was $1,150 but it was well worth it! read more

Food is good every time we've gone minus this last time. We've had some good meals here and have been here a few times. We were there on Friday and decided to try the $100 original cheesesteak. Well very disappointed. Not only did it not taste good, the texture, and temperature were all off. The bread was soggy. Would never order again. It was the worst cheesesteak I think I've had. Other than that, service was fine. We will be back but will never order that again. read more

We came here for a group dinner and it's a beautiful restaurant! The food was also absolutely delicious and I really appreciated our waitress acknowledging if an entree / appetizer was shareable or more single serving. I had an experience the night before where an entree was so small and I was disappointed at how expensive it was for so little food. They also have very pretty whimsical presentations of their food and drinks. It was on the quieter side when we went but overall nice experience. read more

We were excited to try The Guest House, which recently opened in place of Etta. It was WPMO weekend so we expected it to be busy, but we had reservations so we were seated fairly quickly. The restaurant has beautiful ambience. It is dimly lit and has trees inside. Very pretty. Our servers were very friendly. We had one in training, and the other was more experienced and helping out. The drinks are unique. The people next to us were sharing a really large drink, I think with cotton candy in it. They brought out bread which was so flaky and delicious. It looked so pretty, I had to take a picture of it. We were hoping this was a sign that dinner was also going to be delicious. The butcher's cut steak was cooked well. However, the scallop ceviche, which was supposed to have yuzu, lychee, lavendar, and lime flavors was rather underwhelming. I would say the same about the cacio e pepe and spicy rigatoni, which was nothing special considering the price. The most disappointing dish by far was the Chicken a la Raj. It sounded so good. It is supposed to be a chicken served in a pastry shell with curry. Instead they gave us a fried chicken. They should not have that dish on the menu if they can't serve it right, or should explain it is fried chicken on the menu. We had also ordered chicken with our cacio e pepe, assuming it would be grilled chicken, but they gave us the same fried chicken cut into strips. Extremely disappointing. As much as we wanted to like this restaurant, it did not live up to our expectations. read more

I came here for a birthday dinner on a Sunday night. We had a reservation so we were seated immediately. It was dimly lit inside with soft music. Although it had a intimate ambience it was a large dining area. Our server was nice and personable. The bread they give is so buttery and soft with sea salt flakes. Three of us shared the 35 Oz tomahawk steak. It was cooked really well. I also like the parmesan truffle fries. I took star because there were some items that were forgotten. Also the pricing is a bit much. But overall I do think its worth coming here for dinner at least once. read more

Everyone who greeted us at the hostess stand were just lovely. Our waitress was lovely as well! The cocktails were fun! We did a few of the theatrical drinks and appetizers for fun and they didn't disappoint! The shrimp cocktail was divine- their cocktail sauce, the best I've ever had! The brioche bread was beautiful and beyond delicious. We tried the Mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts- all will be ordered again! The chicken tenders are amazing and the butchers cut was a hit for all! We will definitely be back! read more

My friends and I really wanted to check this place out last night and were soo excited. We booked it a week in advance at 8:45...we didn't get seated until 9:20. We took in consideration of WMPO weekend and expected everywhere to be busy. We FINALLY sat down, the manager came by to apologize and offered drinks on the house. They served us some kind of flaky crispy croissant bread to start. We ordered to share the little gem Caesar salad, cicio de pepe, spicy rigatoni, truffle Parmesan fries, and the corn pudding. We ordered our food and it took maybe an hour to come...it came out cold it we let that slide because it tasted good. We ended our night with dessert and that was good too. Then the bill came... When we first sat the manager told us the first round of drinks would be on the house since we were seated so late, they charged us for that. So we told the waitress (she was pretty attentive and great the whole night) and they took that off the bill and covered dessert too. Overall the music was so good here and the restaurant it self was cute. We managed to have a good time, but won't return because of how unorganized they are. 3 stars for the good food and music. read more

Made a 7:30 reservation and checked in on time with all members of the party present. Despite this, my party waited approximately 40 minutes without being seated, and with little to no communication regarding the delay. Ultimately, we left the restaurant without ever being accommodated or able to dine. As someone who frequently dines in the Phoenix area, I'm well aware that busy evenings happen. However, this situation went far beyond a simple delay. Reservations set expectations, and when those expectations aren't met, especially without transparency or effort to make things right, it reflects poorly on the establishment as a whole. This experience has significantly impacted my perception of your restaurant and I will not be recommending it to others. read more
