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.

Six of us plus one baby went here for a birthday dinner. We had an excellent time, with delicious mocktails and the food was amazing. Especially the delicious, juicy tender steaks. There are some of the best steaks I’ve ever had. Our service was also excellent, and accommodating. Ambiance was 4 out of 5 because the large windows showcase street life, and could do with a privacy film.

Hosted a business dinner at The Guild and was unfortunately quite disappointed. The server was polite but inattentive. It took 30 minutes for her to stop by and offer drinks, and another 30 minutes to ask for our appetizer order. The entire dinner lasted over 3 hours due to very slow service. The mashed potatoes were cold and the steaks were overcooked, but the appetizers and sides (especially the Brussels sprouts) were divine. All in all, I won’t host another dinner at The Guild.

Our server Maggie was attentive, explained the menu well, and was always there at the right time. She has a nice personality and smile which made us feel welcome. The manager Hari was also great, stopped by a few times to ask how everything was. The food was amazing, we ordered the chicken katsu curry, butter chicken, and Thai green curry. Everything tasted delicious especially the katsu curry as it reminded me of my Japan visits, this came close to tasting like I was in Japan. Sad to know the dishes are only on the menu until March 15 but definitely worth a second visit to eat again. 10/10, would always come back.

The room is great and the service was too. Two mains were very good and hot; the short rib was only warm. Still we had an enjoyable time and will give it another try!

Did the Valentine's Day 3 course meal. Appetizers were pretty good (French onion soup and beets and burrata salad), mushroom fetaccini was good, but the short rib was trash. Sauce was weirdly sweet and barley was undercooked. We had creme brulee for dessert but the surface wasn't caramelized or crusted at all. Cocktails (pecan old fashion, tequila sour and margarita) weren't all that great for what they charge. For close to $300, we could have gone elsewhere for a better meal.
