I recently dined at The Guild House, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The decor is truly beautiful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that sets the stage for an enjoyable meal. The menu is versatile, offering a variety of options that cater to different tastes and preferences. The food was great—every dish we tried was delicious and thoughtfully prepared, making for a satisfying dining experience. However, the service left something to be desired. While we noticed other waiters checking on their tables like clockwork, our waitress was barely there. This inconsistency in service was a bit disappointing, but it didn't completely overshadow the positive aspects of our visit. Overall, The Guild House is still worth a visit, depending on the server one gets. With its beautiful decor, versatile menu, and great food, it has the potential to be a fantastic dining experience.

We went for a double date while in town for a friend's wedding. The food was great, and our server was fantastic! The lobster angolotti was my favorite of the dishes we ordered...it was cooked perfectly and so flavorful. The chicken dish was a little dry, but the beans with it were amazing. Could have been a standalone dish. This was the best carrot cake we've ever had.

I came here during the Arnold Sports Festival. I had the special protein breakfast sandwich and the overnight oats. It was one of the best, if not the best, breakfasts I have ever had. Amazing chill environment and very positive energy!

This was our second visit to The Guild House. We discovered this beautiful restaurant on The Short North Good Tour where we were able to try a berry spritzer of some sort and the chicken break hash. The breakfast hash was AMAZING. We knew we had to come back and there for a few menu options we really wanted to try. This was our first time back to Columbus since that trip so we made sure to stop back in. We tried the steak tartare, lobster and eggs, and the lamb burger. Everything was cooked very well and very tender. We felt a few items lacked flavor but overall we're very happy we stopped back in. Our server was phenomenal and offered suggestions on what she liked and what is ordered most often. We were sat very quickly on a Saturday afternoon which was also nice. I think we've tried everything we wanted to try so I'm not sure if we will be back since we aren't local, but we're very glad we stopped back in! Give them a try!

Great knowledgeable staff (shoutout Casey). Food is absolutely so so delicious and cooked to perfection. Enjoyed the Filet, Brocclini and truffle russet potatoes. They took care of us for our anniversary, 10/10! Also cocktails are rad. She had our now favorite Smoked Rye and pictured is the bourbon I had, and it hit just right honestly. Its very well balanced with a slight sweet start but tart finish.

We stopped by for an early dinner on a Sunday afternoon. The hostess sat us immediately since they were not very busy. I ordered a holiday old fashioned that was beautifully served and delicious. We split our main course with sides of sweet potato rolls and brussel sprouts. Everything was delicious, and the server was very attentive. Will definitely consider another visit next time we're in the area.
