Came here recently for a special dinner. The atmosphere is amazing and the service is awesome. The food is delicious and the portions are just right! I went with the pork belly for my dinner because it sounded interesting, and the flavors were amazing! The meat was melt in your mouth. We chose to share a dessert, and I would definitely recommend the cheesecake, delicious and perfect sharing size. The cocktails are also very delicious, if you're wanting to give those a try as well and you like some alcohol with your evening.The Guild is a good choice for a fancier occasion, a date night, or a treat-yourself dinner outing.

food was decent, the tomahawk was very under cooked (asked for medium rare - it was rare) service was horrible. waited 15-20 mins to order drinks, then another 10 for the drinks to come out. we did family style, and our dishes were brought out with no sharing plates/serving spoons. had to remind the waitress to bring our drinks twice that we ordered. then to top it off, asked to use the bathroom & the hostess said it was for “paying customers only” after i clearly just OVERpaid.

First time visiting Calgary and picked this place because of the interesting name and stellar reviews -- was not disappointed at all.Shared a dry age porterhouse among my party of 3 with a side order of the mushrooms and beetroots -- portions were massive (as expected), but we managed to demolish everything on the plates because it was just that good (not expected).Ordered the beef mid-rare and we all agreed it was one of the most tender cuts of meat we've had in a long time. Parts of the steak were more blue-rare, but those were the bits that really melted in your mouth.Got a carrot cake as well to round up the night. Normally you'd expect frosting and butterscotch sauce to be overwhelmingly sweet, but that wasn't the case at all. Bits of crumbly ginger biscuits and vanilla ice cream provided lovely texture as well.Manager (Harry) and staff (Justin) were very friendly and they shared a lot of personal experiences on Calgary after they found out we just arrived. We'd definitely come back!PS. Wine glasses are a little thicker and heavier than usual, but I assume it's to prevent any accidents caused by the amazing food ?

Nice. Food was decent but could have been better for the cost.Washrooms need maintenance and took away from the appeal

Greeter was friendly and professional. Staff behind bar who served me were above industry standards. Food was better than one would expect from Calgary compared to more affluent city centres. Atmosphere was good for the area. My recommendations would be the spacing in the bar area with the tables and stools at bar side especially. Also could bring on security in the lobby due to the crime demographic for that area. Washrooms are beside lobby down 3 flights of stairs so be aware of that. Give this place a try.

We went for Valentines Day and had rhe $75 special meal. The chicken and strip steak were very good, however the fish and the duck were a big fail. Service was slow and a bit inattentive. It was our first time here and the firat impression wasn't enough for us to think about a repeat visit.

I felt the atmosphere is great. Service was average. Unfortunately I had the steak tartar with the raw egg ONTOP of course that’s how it served but that evening I threw up nonstop and felt horrible for 12 hours. Definitely got food poisoning as this was the only meal I had this day. Kind of a shame. I think there are restaurants in Calgary I would visit again but guild wouldn’t be one of them. Service was very average nothing drawing me back in and food made me sick?

My wife and myself gave this restaurant a second try, after being placed beside a loud and distracting bachelorette party table the first time. Last night we ordered the Tomahawk steak, and sides which is the most expensive dish on the menu. After waiting the 45 mins to prepare the steak, it arrived cold, and all the side dishes were cold as well.We were very disappointed on the delivery of such a expensive dish, $180 for a steak it should, which should be prepared to the highest standard. They attempted to reheat it as well as to reuse the side dishes and it returned back to our table now over cookedWith the same warmed up side dishes. We are a few bites because we were hungry and asked for the manager to take the meal back.We were very disappointed, as we ordered a expensive bottle of red wine to enjoy with this meal. After our drinks were finished, we asked for our bill, and was shocked they still charged us for the whole dish. I asked the server if this was a mistake, she said no.After paying the bill, which was $360.00 we asked to speak to the manager before leaving to tell him how we felt about this experience. He still refused to do anything but offer a discount for our next visit. After explaining to him we made this trip to Calgary to specifically eat here tonight and we were completely disappointed in our experience that actually adjusted our bill a bit to compensate their mistake.

We had a great time here, best burger I've ever had! The rest of the table loves their food as well. However, Jake our server is what really made the experience. Good food is one thing but service is in my opinion the most important! Thanks for the great last night in Calgary. When I come back I'll definitely be here
