For our weekly date nights, we love to try out new places. The service was great, atmosphere was lovely and we were super excited about the wood fired options! The evening started with the spinach & artichoke dip. It was SO amazing!! Unfortunately, the dishes to follow, though tasty, were more "standard" than we'd hoped. We had the roasted beet salad (missing the feta), the wood-fired octopus, lamb sausage rigatoni all wrapped up with a pot of tea and some sticky toffee pudding. Though we had a lovely evening, we are not rushing to go again.

Excellent Happy Hour with food and drinks available. We recommend the Blood Orange Margarita, Calamari, Pull Apart Bread, Wood Fired Cauliflower, Crispy Chicken Bites, and Sticky Toffee Pudding (not on happy hour). Nice vibes inside, in a historical building.

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.

Everything was so much better than expected! It was my first time having steak tartare and I was not disappointed. I absolutely love spinach and artichoke dip and I'd say this is the best I've ever had!

Went here for my boyfriend’s birthday which lands on November 11. We were there during happy hour & enjoyed some drinks & appetizers from this: 2 glasses of red wine; 1 rose; “The conductor” beer ; Devilled eggs ( so delicious) ; calamari (it was so fresh - even the dip provided). We proceeded to have the 34 OZ 28 day dry aged Tomahawk steak - which we ordered two sides. Lastly we enjoyed the Phyllo- wrapped cheese cake. Our waitress was amazing- she was on top of it - our water never went empty for long if at all.

We had a project wrap-up party with 12 people in attendance. Service/food was great for the number of people. Orders were as expected. Not too loud to easily have various conversations across the table.

Excellent food service and ambience for a business meal. We were originally on the patio, but one of our party was too cold so they immediately found a table inside and the level of service remained high.

Food and service was awesome. Killer steak tartar and Caesar salad. The wood fired pull apart bread was deliscious as well Had creme brulee for desert.
