- LHLaura HansonNov 17, 20255.0This 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❤️
- MWMidwest WanderingNov 15, 20255.0Great spot for breakfast. Server was really good and made sure to take care of drinks for everyone. Food came hot and had lots of flavor. I will stop here again if I am in the area.
- PPPeytonYoungNov 12, 20254.0The Guild House is a Cameron Mitchell Restaurant, so there is an established standard of quality going into any visit. Food was on the pricier side but everything was prepared well. Vegetables, specifically roasted broccolini, was a bit on the salty side, but it was not too large a detractor to the overall experience. Cocktail menu is very limited but all were pretty good, focusing on the main liquor in the name. Desserts were notably good and large portions. The poppy cake was especially whimsical. Service was excellent, but the lobby is small so the waiting for a table experience can be straining.
- BCBrittany ChanNov 12, 20255.0The food was amazing, my only complaint is they were out of sweet potato rolls, and that was heartbreaking. Drinks are expensive but tasty, portions are on the smaller side, but the food is outstanding.
- STSpooky TruthNov 8, 20254.0Really great food, really nice place. Perhaps a little overpriced for what it is - but the cocktails were inventive, the menu was seasonal, The restaurant was beautiful and somehow quiet even though it was pretty crowded and most importantly the food did not disappoint.
