Guild House is consistently wonderful. We had a great meal during a lively Friday night. The food, service and overall experience were excellent. Guild is a great choice for an intimate dinner or a large group with plenty of options for all dining tastes.

This is my second time coming for Happy Hour, and again, lived up to my expectations!!! The service is amazing and the food took a lot shorter than expected, especially since we ordered two pizzas and salads, along with our drinks. The pizzas were phenomenal and I cannot recommend them both, the truffle and seasonal butternut squash, enough! The restaurant itself is very pretty on the inside and the lighting is light just enough, without being too bright. The manager is also very lovely and you can tell they really care about the restaurant and customers. Will definitely be coming back!!
