Excellent in every way. The atmosphere is sophisticated yet comfortable, the service is impeccable, and the food is truly top-tier. Every detail is well thought out, and it shows. Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in Columbus. Highly recommended.

The restaurant is beautiful! Our waiter was so great. He interacted with us and gave us all the details on the restaurant and food. My father and law asked for the waiters favorite dish as a surprise. He loved it. We will be back.

We had Travis waiting on us and he did a phenomenal job. Our business partners were extremely happy with the food, the overall experience, and the level of service. Travis made everything run smoothly and represented your team exceptionally well.

First time there, signage horrible out front of street and entrance including almost non existent sign for bathrooms and stupid tp holder too away from actual toilet. As far as service, solid with Baba and coffee on point on the brunch. The food was good, lobster toast barely cold but the poached eggs were delish. The steak tartare was horrible with the dill sweet/sour to a point that they took off bill, which was awesome We need to try it once more and see what else is there on menu as wine selections looked interesting. If I had to give it a number, 4.1 comes to mind.

My son and I had a fabulous dinner at The Guild House. Service was great, atmospheres was amazing and our food was fantastic. My son ordered the chicken which was to die for, and my steak was perfectly cooked. Truly enjoyed.

Shocked there's so many good reviews. The food was horrible. I've never tasted food that salty. Must be a lot of people with poor palates. Don't waste your money.

We had friends in town that were staying downtown. They wanted to grab a quick breakfast early (9 am) on a Sunday before hitting the road. The restaurant was not very busy at 9 am, but was getting fairly full by 10 am. The Guild House was an excellent spot to meet in the Short North area close to downtown. The Short North is a busy and trendy area near the convention center. However, on this Sunday there was easy (free) street parking (you still had to use the Park Mobile App) nearby. You could also use the valet or a nearby parking garage. The service (Baba) was excellent, Friendly and prompt! The food was a little pricey but very good. I had the Eggs Benedict ($17) and coffee ($5). In fact, almost everyone in our group had the same order. We definitely noted this place as a great place to meet up with friends in the middle of Columbus. Most folks dressed pretty casual for breakfast.

Our family of six had dinner on Thanksgiving. The place was packed but we were seated at our reservation time. We had to finagle a bit to get Dad with his walker settled, but the staff was patient and kind with him. Our server Bobbie was fantastic! She was funny, endearing, and attentive for how busy she was. The volume of the room was energetic, but I could still hear conversations at the end of the table. It is SO nice that they offer a Prix Fixe Thanksgiving menu as well as the regular menu. My elderly father had Thanksgiving dinner and enjoyed it very much. The rest of us ordered off the menu. I read that there is usually a heavy hand with the salt, but our experience was all over the place with seasoning. Here are our thoughts: Hamachi Crudo - pretty, but not the best we have had. More flavor? Steak Tartare - fresh but a little on the acidic side. Served with plain toast points that we would have better if buttered and grilled. Beet Salad - very fresh with golden beets, crunchy quinoa, and a farm cheese cream base. I enjoyed it but this dish could have used more salt. Shagbark Grits - we wanted to just love this, but it needed salt as well. Oyster mushrooms - great batter and sauces, mushrooms cooked perfectly, but this dish was oversalted. Cavatelli - the flavor with the duck and sauce was delicious, but the broth was a salt bomb. Pork - perfectly cooked and seasoned. The cabbage was lovely. I would order this again. Pork Cheeks - this was our favorite dish of the night. Seasoned perfectly. The cheeks were so tender, and it was fun to eat with the spaghetti squash. It's a generous serving for an appetizer and I ordered it as a main. Sea Bass - perfectly cooked and wonderful. I only had one bite, but my sister loved it. We would 100% come back here for Thanksgiving.

Great food and great service as always. They accommodated a table for eight and everyone was very comfortable.

The happy hour selections were plentiful and generously discounted-a real treat given how stingy many restaurants have become.
The restaurant is trendy and clean. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. But really its about the food. It was mediocre. The presentation was great, it looked amazing but it tasted meh. Definitely not worth the $115 for two and we didn't drink. The best thing we had was the lamb chops from the appetizer menu, but the bed of fried rice it came on had zero flavor, but it was half off for happy hour so it was still a good purchase. My wife got the sea bass and it looked amazing but had zero flavor. I got the duck confit which is a a duck leg dish but it came out with very small pieces of duck in a tomato sauce with pasta. So if you are looking to spend 100+ on a mediocre (and very small) meal this is the joint.

This was my first time at a high end restaurant so I didn't really know what to expect. I usually have the palette of a toddler (Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, nuggets, etc.) so I was worried about eating fancy food lol. I went in with an open mind and I'm so glad I did. I ordered the chicken to be safe but at the end of the night, I didn't taste 1 thing that I didn't like. The food was the best I've ever had in my 40 years of life. The service was top tier excellent, and the atmosphere was enough to make my first fine dining experience over the top. Food was pricey but so worth it. Would definitely go back and definitely recommend to others. Great great place❤️

There were four of us for dinner. Three entrées came out on time. I waited approximately 20 minutes for the fourth entrée, mine. It never came out. I eventually had to go stand up and get the attention of my waitress. I ended up canceling that entrée because the rest of my party was mostly done eating. The waitress did her best to rectify the situation and wrapped up my eventual entrée to go and compensated us with desserts. But, frankly, I think the restaurant is understaffed or was tonight. To forget about a given tables entrée seems kind of unacceptable and to not notice it for at least 20 minutes until I had to stand up myself to get someone's attention is no good at all. Moreover, it was embarrassing. This was a recruitment dinner for a job candidate.
