  • I discovered the Guild when a gentleman friend suggested we go there for brunch. This was our first date due to schedules etc. I've walked past this place dozens of times thinking the name was the address like some of the "cool bars" but it's actually The Guild. I was pleasantly surprised to see how spacious the place was, given the trend is to have tiny bars/restos with minimal seating. We sat down and ordered some hot beverages. The americano was definitely not the best one I've ever had. No amount of cream/sugar could mask a poorly pulled shot. Plus they serve it in a teeny bowl like glass that is impossible to drink from without spilling the first sip. Knowing that coffee is usually not a strong point at most brunch places we ordered our food off a pretty small menu. I got the bacon and eggs and so did my companion. The service was a bit slow, there's only one chef in the kitchen. So we waited a while and kept chatting away. Our food came and the portion is deceptively small looking which was disappointing initially. Then as I got half way through my meal I realized how much food there actually was. Not to mention how delicious it was. Let me take a second to call out the sous vide poached eggs that were perfect. The incredible potato and goat cheese croquette . The house smoked bacon which was huge. We skipped the sausages. Only negative is the salad which is mostly cabbage is slimy and not ideal. Next thing we realized we had been sitting there for 3 hours chatting away. The space was comfortable and the perfect level of noise. I walked away in a daze from one of the best first dates I've ever been on. This definitely warranted a return visit and another friend and I tried to go there when it opened at right at 10am. We waited outside for about 15 minutes only to have someone finally come over and say that they were opening at 11 instead. So we decided not to wait. A few weeks ago I made another return visit to The Guild. It was delicious, I didn't skip the sausages this time and they were these great little patties that almost overshadowed the bacon which was sadly overcooked. My dining companion got the salmon scramble which looked excellent. I also found that the service was lacking. Today I went for a 3rd (4th?) time. I got the salmon scramble which was plated differently then I remembered. Not bad I just expected the eggs and smoked salmon to be scrambled together. The eggs were kinda gross and disappointing but the rest of the meal was excellent. A bit pricey at $15. Plus the americano was not great (as I expected but you know... coffee) I really want to like this place more but there are a few deltas that need to be fixed. I generally run into at least one person I know so I know it's still popular amongst the hipster brunch types. I'm going to give dinner a try one of these days. This place is a 3.5/4.
