  • I attended a wedding reception here with a sense of morbid curiosity. From what I've heard and read, it seemed like the Guild Inn exemplified Murphy's Law: anything that can go wrong will go wrong. I've heard of cakes being dropped (and then blamed on guests), construction equipment in the reception hall, suites being unavailable despite being booked, lateness in every aspect, technical difficulties, management nightmares. But I'm here to comment on my experiences, not the rumours. And I can say for certain, that I had a lovely time here as a guest on a quiet Saturday in November. There may be several factors: Guild Inn has gone through their growing pains, we were the only wedding at that time. Either way, I have little to complain about. The venue is very modern and was cleanly kept. As it was already dark and rainy, I never got to check out the more unique outdoor aspects of the Estate. While the interior was nice, it wasn't anything special. First impressions were immediately positive as there was an attendant directing us to the right door, and showing us where the coat check/washrooms/reception were. Food, of course, is the highlight for a guest. Surprisingly, everything was above average...EXCEPT the entree. The hors d'oeuvres included legit sushi that wasn't supermarket quality. The appetizers consisted of a large crispy crab cake salad and a tasty salmon tartar with a LOT of tartar. The dessert was a light and delicious mango raspberry mousse. The entree was a big fail. My salmon was covered in a thick layer of really, really salty miso paste. They torched the top part that was covered in miso so the delicious crispy part you usually get on fried fish wasn't there. I scraped off the miso and even then, I didn't finish. The chicken was dry. The beef was a big piece of mediocre. But hey, one course out of 4 failing ain't that bad, even if it's the main course. I came here expecting to see a train wreck, but left feeling pleasantly surprised. On that night, The Guild Inn Estate was a well-oiled machine. Maybe it's finally gotten through its bumpy phase. Maybe they learned from their mistakes. Or maybe I got lucky. Only time, and more Yelp reviews, will tell. (94/100) - 2017
