The Guild exemplifies a new and exciting take on the finest traditions of butchery, cookery and bar-keeping. The name is inspired by guild halls from the past, which served as a meeting places and secret societies for artists and merchants. Honouring local beef, game and fowl, and utilizing traditional cooking techniques over wood and coal, The Guild chefs are preparing a fitting homage to proud Canadian carnivores.

    All beef dishes were very good. Rigatoni bolognese was also very good. Fried Mac and cheese was dry and lacking. Beautiful restaurant with great service.

    We enjoy everything about The Guild and have been several times now. At our most recent visit the brussel sprouts, one of our favourite menu items, were disappointing to the point of having to send them back, but it was handled well and we will definitely return.

    I wanted to check out this place for quite some time and finally had the chance to do it! Everything was really good, the staff was awesome yet the only thing that I had to say is that my steak was just warm (could have been a little hotter)

    The food was delicious and the service was great. We only had a small issue where a drink we ordered did not come but the server was helpful in correcting that on the bill. Not a long wait as food came out quickly, so a very good spot for lunches. Would definitely come back again!

    I got the cobb salad, it was OK - nothing spectacular. I expected it to be so much better for $25. Really no different than a plain green house salad with chicken breast and an egg on the side. This item could definitely be improved by adding the rest of the ingredients...

    Great food and venue, which was great since it was my first time since the scam of COVID shut things down. I am dissapointed that the shaved pigs head sandwhich and octopus burger is no longer available, but the maple candied pork and salmon that the table had; along with the old fashions, were fantastic. Service was knowledgable and pleasant to discuss the menue with. Items are of the higher price but worth the value. Thanks

    Disappointed in our server, came across as a bit condescending. He was overly attentive when it was quiet and hard to find when it got busy. I would recommend the Guild for drinks and maybe appetizers.

    The boss was in town from out of province for a convention and I wanted to impress a bit. I was looking for a steak house that leaned towards fine dining… and The Guild fits that description in all the best ways. Service was impeccable, food was amazing, your wine list impressed the boss (who comes from Bev/alc and knows a thing or two). Prices were very reasonable, particularly when compared to nearby competition. Did I mention the staff was excellent? Recommendations were excellent and on point. I’m a bit picky when it comes to steak, and the cook on it was perfect. Medium rare was medium rare. Will recommend… already have actually.

    My childhood bestfriend was in town and we stopped in here last minute because the other restaurant we had a reservation at mixed up our reservation time and didn’t have a table ready for us. I’m very glad we did because the food and the ambiance at The Guild was incredible, the food was amazing and our server, who told us us was her first night and was training, was absolutely incredible! I will definitely be coming back here with other people to expose them to the excellent experience my friend and I had!
