We traveled eight states in five weeks, and „R House“ was by far the best restaurant we have been in. We highly recommend to see it! Renate & Rainer from

What an unbelievable treat! This place is special, intimate, and delicious. The owners are delightful and the entire experience was welcoming from the moment we stepped in the door. A truly lovely meal from start to finish. Highly recommend!

My husband and I were here in the area for our 1st wedding anniversary getaway and made reservations ahead of time. If you will be in the area make reservations as they do not accept walks-in, it is so worth it! We had an AMAZING experience and felt so welcomed. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great. I highly recommend getting the flan to top off a wonderful meal. We plan to visit the area again just so we can eat here!

The service was superb. Baby back ribs melt in the mouth, and with the maple syrup it’s almost dessert-worthy. Country-style ribs and key lime cheesecake were also excellent.

? This review is to confirm that as of January 2024, RHouse is still by reservation only. I can not edit the hours to reflect that, and I want others to be aware!My partner and I stopped in to see what RHouse had in the ways of cocktails and appetizers for a little late night snack. As we walked up, we noticed that it said reservations only on the chalkboard sign outside. Dang!We went in anyway just to see if maybe that was just an old overlooked sign, if maybe they were still able to seat us, or if we could go ahead and make reservations for the following day.The owner was warm and friendly, explained that they were indeed reservations only, and had us write down our name and information in the appointment book so he could let us know if they were going to be open the next day (they were in for a snowstorm in the area). We wrote down our information and said goodbye. We weren't in there long, but from my brief time inside, I can say that it looked nice, very cozy, and well decorated. As for outside, the porch was cute with decorations and lights. The parking lot is gravel, and there are some stairs to get up to the door, I'm not sure if there's another way into the building that's wheelchair friendly, so just keep that in mind.Unfortunately, the snow and ice prevented us from being able to actually enjoy RHouse. The owner was kind enough to send a text letting us know that they were not going to be open due to the snowstorm.If we ever are in the area again, we'll definitely be making reservations to stop in.

This place is the restaurant legends are born from!
Husband and wife team, Juan and Chef Gisela have created a perfect food haven with sprinkles of ambiance and love in small town Basye, VA.
On a long weekend retreat, we ventured to Basye and were looking for a nice place to eat. Options looks limited, but stumbled on Rhouse. We were hesitant to engage, but took a chance and were wildly surprise.
The ambiance is wonderful. Beautifully decorated like a five star restaurant with comfy chairs, nice restaurant views from every and well appointed bathroom. You might think you have to dress fancy, but we went in shorts and flip flops and were welcomed with open arms.
The food was incredible! The first night, we had the beef lasagna and pork special. We both had food envy and gobbled up every bit.
We enjoyed our dinner so much, we made a reservation for the following night. We enjoyed the paella special and braised short ribs.
The wine and beer selections were well appointed. Note that they do not have a liquor license.
As world traveling foodies, we've enjoyed many Michelin top rated restaurants and feel strongly this one deserves to be considered.
Thank you Gisela and Juan for making us feel at home and like we're part of your family. We'll be back!

We celebrated our anniversary here. It is small and intimate but not dark. The service and food were excellent, especially the mashed potatoes. I also enjoyed their playlist. We will return.

I cannot write enough wonderful things about RHouse. My husband and I were vacationing from NJ, so we tend to have slightly high food standards given where we live, and RHouse did not disappoint. This was hands down some of the best food we have ever had. Everything was so flavorful and fresh. The sangria was also amazing, so much flavor! Not only was the food fantastic but Juan, the owner was so incredibly friendly, caring, and welcoming. He really spent his time getting to know us and made us feel like we were the only customers at his cozy restaurant. Almost everyone that walked in he seemed to know and greeted them with the warmest welcome. I wish this restaurant wasn’t so far away from home or else this would 100% be a regular spot.
