A new chapter in Scottsdale dining begins: The Guest House officially opened its doors, transforming the former Etta space into an atmosphere-driven destination designed for connection, energy, and lingering.
The reimagined space reflects The Guest House’s signature approach to social dining, where design and mood evolve as the night unfolds. Warm lighting, lush greenery, layered textures, art, and polished finishes set the stage, while an engineered soundscape enhances conversation. As daylight fades, the music builds and the room shifts from a dining experience into a lounge-like environment, encouraging guests to settle in.
“At The Guest House, our goal has always been to create spaces where people feel welcome and connected,” Founder Raj Kumar said. “Scottsdale appreciates great food, beautiful environments, and memorable nights out. We felt it was the perfect next home for the brand.”
At the heart of the experience is an elevated New American menu led by Executive Chef Todd Mark Miller. Rooted in quality, innovation, and fresh ingredients, the culinary program reimagines familiar classics while introducing immersive touches. Guests can expect highlights such as Tuna and Caviar Cones, a Butcher’s Best Wagyu steak program, and tableside preparations that add a sense of theater to the meal.
The Scottsdale location will also feature beloved Guest House staples, including TGH Buttermilk Chicken Tenders, Spicy Rigatoni, and the popular Wagyu Pastrami and Cheesesteak.
“Every new Guest House opening gives us the chance to push the boundaries of what modern American dining can be,” Executive Chef Miller said. “We’re taking familiar flavors and reimagining them through a sensory-driven lens with a menu that is bold and celebrates technique but never loses sight of enjoyment. Whether it’s a raw bar classic, a reimagined favorite, or something entirely new, each dish is built with intention, balanced flavors, seasonal ingredients, and a presentation that elevates the experience.”
The beverage program is focused on standout cocktails, each presented to create memorable moments that feel as social as they are refined. Together, the menu and atmosphere reflect The Guest House’s philosophy that dining should be as much about how it feels as how it tastes. For more, visit welcometgh.com.
