    Artichoke Soup.

    The Guild House is a such a gem in Kern County and I am always happy after enjoying a delicious meal here! As diners, we get to enjoy a delicious 3-course meal in a gorgeous setting, all the while helping the children of Kern County. (ALL proceeds are for the Henrietta Weill Memorial Child Guidance Clinic, having raised over $2 million to date!) When I say 3-course, I mean 3 delicious, all-in-house, scratch-made courses including a soup to start, an entree with sides (or salad of the week), and a mouthwatering dessert, plus bread, tea, and coffee if you'd like. (Soda, beer, and wine available for purchase as well.) Everything is cooked, prepped, served, even washed and stocked by a staff of volunteers. How awesome!!!! I have had these meals many times and have never had something I didn't like! Everything is delicious and I can't rave enough about the service as well. Like others have stated, I would definitely call a couple of days in advance to reserve whatever day you'd like as they do tend to sell out, especially around holidays!! Be sure to check the calendar for meal options as well as fashion show dates! Come in, enjoy the decor and have an incredible meal! Ask for the 'mocktail' of the month too! So fun!

    The Guild house is a wonderful establishment. very fancy and lovely especially for a lunch date with your mother or grandmother. All meals are delicious, filling and flavorful. What sets this establishment apart from other local restaurants is that all proceeds go to raise funds for Henrietta Weill Memorial Child guidance clinic, Even including the tip do you leave for the volunteer waiters and waitresses. It's open only seasonally, close during summer months.

    Wow! This was such a lovely experience and a wonderful cause. The volunteers were amiable and the meal was very pleasant. I can't wait to have another luncheon. The restaurant is in the beautiful Barlow home, built in 1909, Guild House serves lunches Monday through Friday from 11:30am through 1:30pm with excellent meals by some of Bakersfield's finest cooks. The guild house is a nonprofit run by volunteers and all of the funds raised go to the Henrietta Weill Memorial Child Guidance Clinic.

    This place is pretty good. They have a set menu every day so you just eat whatever they're serving but their rolls are freshly made and I had their rolls, broccoli soup, pasta with veggies & icecream with pie for $20. The serving sizes are actual serving sizes so it's not too much or too little in my opinion, especially for everything being $20. Service was great, especially since they're volunteers. It's just not a big space inside since it's in a house, but it was still nice and relaxing.

We looked relentlessly for a venue for the party, but every place was either too far or had no ambience. I'd seen pictures from a friends event that was held here and quickly called her to find out all the deets. I called the next day, spoke to Brooke, and went to see the place for myself. I. Fell. In. Love. But I had to coax my mother and sister in law into it. They thought it was too small and just would not work for our 150 guests. I had to quickly explain that the venue also included the outdoor patio! And tables and chairs and ice machine and kitchen and premium furniture and...the list goes on and on! Everything was perfect! We were able to fit our 100 guests and had a band! I'm telling you guys if you need a venue with class and ambiance for an affordable price then LOOK NO FURTHER!!!
