    There has been a massive change since my last visit. A few years ago, the place was packed with a high-energy, beautiful crowd with a high sense of fashion. I brought my man there last night (Friday) and hyped him about this place. When we got there, it was empty and sad. The food is still great, though.

    Great atmosphere and service, food was burnt twice. Flash grilled past the point of being edible. Both the steak and veg. Burnt oil is not a thing guys.

    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.

    It was a great night out experience at The Guild. Our server Jessica was amazing. The ambience was great and not too noisy to have a conversation. Food is delicious! Definitely will go back. Highly recommend 👍🏼

    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.

    Pleasing interesting set up where you see the bar and kitchen activity while enjoying comfortable surroundings. The food was great and the service efficient and attentive. A most enjoyable evening.
