Just had an outstanding dinner at The Guild! The moment we walked in, the warm, stylish vibe and historic space made it feel like a special night out downtown. The menu is packed with incredible options—from perfectly cooked steaks and tender short ribs to creative starters and craft cocktails that set the tone. The service was attentive and friendly, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout the meal. Every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented, and the lively atmosphere added to the experience without being overwhelming. Whether it’s a date night, celebration, or dinner with friends, this spot hits the mark with great food, great drinks, and a vibe that keeps you coming back.

Came on valentines and had Cassidy as our server. She was the sweetest and brought so much energy to our experience. My first time at the Guild and will definitely be back because of her attentive and friendly service. She went above and beyond for us!
The food was very delicious but portions were very small for the price. Still great though!
It was nice to see everyone helping each other out on such a busy evening. Thank you again Cassidy!

Friendly competent service and good food. We arrived in time for happy hour on a Friday night so enjoyed a cocktail before ordering dinner. The devilled egg starter was larger than expected and very tasty, and for mains we had tenderloin (very good, with LOTS of mashed potatoes included) and the pork belly which was perfectly braised. Service was friendly and professional. Thank you for a lovely evening!
I'm a master reviewer lol and I still don't know how I feel about this restaurant. I liked the mashed potatoes that expensive steak deserved a refund I brought most home popped it in the oven and made it 5 times more tasty.. bland food!!!!! I'm surprised as the chefs are east Indian. The decor was cheap for a upscale restaurant and it looks more cozy from outside . Get some big canldes and soft Christmas lights and dangle throughout the restaurant..giving more romantic and elegance feeling. I would have to be bored to go back here .. food needs some flavor!!!!!!!! Mushrooms were tasty . I give it another try early in the day perhaps one the better Chef is in town lol

The food was very small portions for an expensive price, which I would be okay with if the food had great flavor. The majority of it was very bland and was lacking even basic seasoning. Ambiance was great but the food was very disappointing.
It was my wife's birthday on Wednesday. Howard and Cassidy were an absolute delight and made a special night wonderful. They laid out flowers I bought earlier as a surprise on the table, and complimented us with a glass of prosecco. Coming from the restaurant business, the experience and staff at the Guild set a level of excellence that I will recommend and definitely go back to. Great food, great service, great experience overall.

The food was excellent. The service was prompt, friendly and very efficient. A great place for a business lunch or some fine dining in the evening.
Delicious food with great service. I had a time constraint so I needed my food ready quickly and the staff was very accommodating!

In early days this place got on my bad side advertising itself as a steak house but not having good steak selection. The competition in this city is tough! Now they have a good selection of steaks, cooked well, the sides were very good too. The server (at peak lunch hour) was too busy, too many tables, but still didn't miss out on a detail, very competent. The other thing was that the volume was quite loud for a business conversation. Again, peak busy time

The service was excellent with just enough attention while not intrusive. The steak was disappointing

Had an awesome date night at The Guild!
Kassy was our server and she was absolutely amazing — super friendly, attentive, and made the whole night even better. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was really nice, especially the open kitchen concept, which we loved. It added such a cool vibe and made the place feel lively and welcoming.
Highly recommend checking this place out — great service, great food, and a perfect spot for a date night.
