The Guild exemplifies a new and exciting take on the finest traditions of butchery, cookery and bar-keeping.

    Had a dinner out planned - catching up with an old coworker. Didn’t want the standard spot, so we tried the Guild. Very glad we did - everything was exceptional from the time we sat down. Service was some of the best I’ve had, food was exceptional, and the vibe was active enough to feel alive but still able to have a conversation. Will be back!

    Service was great. We were there for a birthday celebration but there was no acknowledgment, even though it was noted in the reservation and also stated to our server. Not a huge deal but would’ve been nice. Food - burger and truffle fries was really good, mushroom soup was very watered down and bland. Shrimp risotto was okay, bland not much flavour, broccolini was delish. Drink menu was fantastic.
