About the restaurant

We are a 21+ restaurant and bar. Founded in 2018 by Joel and Matthew and purchased in late 2022 by Becky and Jon, the vision remains the same: Old English pub vibes, high quality food.

We loved The Shambles from the minute we walked in and now we continue the heritage of what was created before us. On the food side: high quality steaks, cut in house. Cooks who have the freedom to create seasonal dishes ranging from foraged mushrooms to house made sausages. To go with your meal, we offer skillfully made, non-fussy cocktails, carefully selected wines, a plethora of beers, sours, and ciders on tap and a a robust non alcoholic selection. We top it all off with warm and knowledgeable service. At the Shambles, you can join us for a lovely date night, get together with friends OR choose to sit at the bar and get an ear full of cheesy jokes and unfiltered chatter We are serious about our service from top to bottom and we can’t wait to serve you!

We love this place! Service is professional and friendly. The HH is amazing! Aside from the meat, which is SO good, try all of the other options, like the little Gem Caesar and the beets. Try everything…it’s all original and tasty!

About the restaurant

Small and romantic we specialize in celebrations with family and friends, or just a quiet dinner with good conversation. We are family owned and operated and have been serving our community since 2001.

Drive in to Opera Alley and be transported. We strive to bring approachable food and beverage, a sense of comfort and community, as well as a unique and quality dining experience. We call ourselves a "cafe" in the sense that we are not pretentious and offer a fine dining experience in an atmosphere of comfort and respite.

Parking in Opera Alley, and downtown, can be a bit of a challenge, especially on the weekends, so please be sure to give yourself plenty of time when making reservations to find a parking space, or consider a night off from driving and get an Uber or Lift!! Eat good food often, break bread with friends and family, spend time with those you love, and we will see you soon.

Awesome food, but I think they should not charge for soda and iced tea refills 4.00 each is crazy expensive. The food was great and it’s a romantic experience.

I always enjoy The Guest House. The food is great. The vibe is fun. The staff is fantastic! We normally go to The Guest House on a Friday. This was my first time on a Thursday. We stayed until almost 9pm thinking that's when they closed. In reality, they close at 8pm on Thursdays, but they didn't boot us out. Sorry, Guest House! I'll know for next time. :)
