   I come here often, at least once a month for either lunch, dinner, or appetizers. I was so happy to see they brought back All You Can Eat Spaghetti night on Mondays, so made plans with friends to meet there. The bartender was new and was spending an inordinate amount of time concocting some new cocktail for a patron at the bar, so it took longer than usual to get our drinks. The restaurant was sparsely populated, pretty sure everyone else was outdoors, and there was plenty of staff. Three out of four of us decided to order the spaghetti - nice salad, noodles, sauce and alleged bread. The dressing container was empty, there was no bread, so I mentioned it to our server. All three of us had to ask again to replenish the bread. This was not my usual experience with this restaurant, and I encouraged my friends to come back and give it another try. As for me, I shan't be going back for spaghetti and hope next time the service is what I've come to know and love at GHG.

   We had a very pleasant dining experience on the enclosed patio.

   We requested a booth at our reservation and that worked out great. I also mentioned that it was a celebration, but our waitress did not inquire about that. Our waitress, Hannah, was great. She was cheerful and very attentive. The restaurant was not busy at all, so it was very quiet. The issue was the food. Our daughter had the short ribs, and the whole plate looked very appealing and appetizing. My husband and I had the seabass special. It was asparagus with "mashed type" potatoes next, and then the seabass on top. Color-wise it was very unappetizing. We could only eat the top quarter of the asparagus as they were too stringy. The potatoes were fine, but almost flavorless. The fish was nothing special. I have had much better meals at Guest House Grill before, so I hope this special being below standard was an anomaly.

   Had the salmon salad which was unimpressive. The dressing was pretty much tasteless. Others at the table enjoyed their choices.

   I liked being able to make a reservation - and our requested booth was ready for us. The selection of entrees was great and though the portion size of my salad seems to have gotten smaller it was delicious! Everyone was friendly and provided great service.

   The outdoor covered patio was very nice and comfortable. The waitress was very friendly and professional. The food was great! My first time enjoying the restaurant and I will definitely return, hopefully for dinner with my husband next time!

   Our waiter was horrible!! When he brought the check he didn’t give it to me to see what the total was. And he never came to check on us.

   We have eaten and the Guest House Grill twice before Mother's Day, and it was great. We sat out on the patio, the ambiance was wonderful, the food was also great. The Mother's Day buffet was disappointing and not worth $25. Maybe it is because we had a 1:00 reservation, instead of an early morning one, but most of the food was either gone, or looked like it had been there for several hours. We will come again, but not for a buffet...which we didn't expect, actually...we thought we would have just the regular menu to choose from.
