    Exceptional dining experience! The restaurant offers outstanding customer service with a warm and inviting ambiance. The food is simply the best--especially the steak, which truly exceeded our expectations. Our server, Kassy, was attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. A special shoutout to the manager, Mr. Krice Manlangit, whose professionalism and genuine care truly made our night memorable. We had a wonderful evening and can't wait to return! Thank you so much !! From the Antarouges ~

    Meatballs

    Wow what a sweet surprise ! This place is absolutely gorgeous Located on the vibrant street on Stephen's Ave /8Ave Was completely amazed by how beautiful the restaurant is! It looks very inviting and modern decor. The staff here was incredible! We were served by a very friendly waiter and was very friendly and happy to see Quebecers visit as he was also from Quebec and it was nice chatting away ahaha Food: Incredible and fresh 5+++* The Mushroom soup was my favourite it was just super thick and savoury. The deviled eggs were great! My favourite part was my poached egg mushroom dish oh my was that amazing ! If I could have another one of those I will definitely come back for it it was incredible! Ceasar salad was filling, fresh and crisp Meatballs were delicious tender 5++++ it even had melted cheese inside. My lobster risotto was alright.. if you like peas you'll love it I wasn't paying attention to the menu and I really dislike green peas .. so it was not for me! The lobster itself was amazing but had to skip the rice. Everything we ordered was delicious and definitely recommend this place 100% Cheers

    Was in Calgary and just finished a late work day. This place was near the hotel. Parking lit near buy buts it's paid parking. I tried the following Mushroom soup. This was very nice and creamy and you can taste the mushrooms. I knew for sure it was home made. Just wish the portion was a bit bigger. Next up I had the meatballs. Probably one of the best meatball I had in a wile. Seasoned well and was fork tender. The sauce was a nice addition and not overpowering. Would order this again. The wait staff was helpful and friendly Enjoy and a must try

    We went here on a recent trip to Calgary for happy hour. It was hands down, our favorite place for cocktails in downtown!! Big shout out to Sam (congratulations!) and Julian, great bartenders! The drinks are sophisticated and delicious......the mixologists here definitely get it! We are from New York City so we have been lucky to have some of the best.....just for reference. The drinks are original recipes, the bar tenders are extremely well versed. All the drinks are artistically presented.......feast for the eyes as well. Spices, accompaniments and even ice cubes are thoughtful and complimentary. We also had some bar bites.....they get food too! Really nice atmosphere as well, great vibe! Definitely worth the visit!

    Chuck Burger

    We came into the Calgary to pick something up downtown. My husband specifically wanted to head to Stephen Ave for lunch. The usual places like cactus and earls were packed. We saw the guild and it allowed for kids and wasn't overly busy so we headed in. We got the chuck burger with fries and the margarita pizza. The food was AMAZING. The burger was probably one of the juiciest burgers I have ever had. The fries were 10/10. My husband said his pizza was one of the best margarita pizzas. We would be back anytime we come to Calgary. It's absolutely beautiful inside too.

    The food was secondary to what I found choice about this joint. It's located on Stephen Ave in the Hudson Bay Building. It has a street level patio that affords great people-watching and tanning opportunities on a sunny day. The interior is beautiful. The washroom is down flights of stone stairs and made me feel like I was in a Speakeasy. Why don't all washrooms have large wooden doors that extend all the way to the floor and ceiling?? The fries I had were the perfect crispness and perfectly seasoned. The pulled pork was meh and a bit greasy...the kim chi slaw surprisingly tame. My companion's dish was nothing to write home about. However, the dishes I saw passing by looked amazing, so I reserve the right to revisit. Very attentive and personable service staff!

    Linguine Carbonara @ The Guild
    Ally E.

    Went here on date night with my boyfriend Saturday evening and I have to say, we loved the ambiance... cozy booth, dim lighting, and attentive waiter. Glasses of water and alcoholic drinks were never empty. We shared the Roasted Beet Salad and it was to die for!!! So good!!! I love beets but never had it this way until the other night. The presentation of this salad was beautiful on the plate (wish I had remembered to take a photo of it). For the main, I ordered the Linguine Carbonara and it was good but I didn't love it. There wasn't necessarily any wrong with it; I just wish it had more sauce as I found it kind of dry. He ordered the Steak and Frites with the steak medium rare (which was cooked to perfection) and his entire meal was delicious! The greens that came with his meal was fresh and the dressing was light and almost fluffy and flavourful. The only aspect of this restaurant that I didn't like is that the restrooms are down a wide flight of stairs into the basement of the building and is very secluded and dim; and when I say dim I mean kinda creepy dim. I'm sure it was not meant to be creepy but elegant and classy. I suppose I might be somewhat of a scaredy cat. Both trips to the ladies room I developed a special talent to be able to walk at Olympic speed in my four point five inch heels just to get back upstairs lol! All in all, we enjoyed our dining experience here and the food and service was great. A romantic place for date night for sure! The restaurant is actually in the Hudson's Bay building and the area we sat in, come to find, used to be the lingerie department of the store we were told. Would definitely go back

    A glass of red wine to toast a great week of success!  #lamburger #Friday

    It's Thanksgiving weekend so there's Lots to be thankful for. My host / colleague / friend suggested The Guild so I went with her. It's on STEPHEN ave very convenient to get to. Atmosphere is exceptional. Love the way the Guild puts their places together. The decor makes you feel comfortable. Even the bathrooms are a nice theme. Lamb burger was nice - not "gamey". Appreciated the ketchup. #Salad was #fresh & the dressing was well done. Simple & standard. Wine list was ok. Not the place for people looking for wine specifically. Moderately priced. Lamb burger $18. To make it a better experience for me, I will need to see the food being slightly different, albeit I had a very limited experience with the food choice. Will need to try other things on the menu to change my opinion. We may revisit. Service was good. Maître D was nice. Chatted about the nice navy blue dress "uniform" which looks professional. Great place for a discussion to close the week. Happy Thanksgiving 。

Not many bottles are older than 10 years, but a number of suppliers provide pretty much the rarest new stuff available in the region. Cold cuts, sardines and cheese served, the place is full of young young, smiling people listening to unobtrusive music. Make sure you find the stairs from the street level to get here. Oh, and they have Les Robarts by Suenen. I had to visit four wine stores in Champagne to get two bottles of that. Good luck finding that anywhere else.

We were greeted by a group of bartenders (who all happened to be wearing toques) when we walked in, and I felt both welcomed and slightly out of place (no toque). The cocktails were meticulously crafted--priced at $15-20 a drink, it's on par with bigger cities like Vancouver and Toronto, but they also live up to the standard. Honestly, the highlight of our visit to Missy's was the Missy's This That charcuterie board. Each piece of cured meat was sliced impossibly thin, the olives were meaty and delicious, and the cheeses were carefully selected to complement everything. I loved that it also came with a side of thick cut bread and pickled vegetables. One of the best charcuterie boards I've had at a restaurant for sure. Not cheap but worth the pretty penny on a slightly fancy night out.

We unfortunately got seated in the side room, not as good for people and kitchen watching but a nice room nonetheless. It was a busy Friday evening but service was a bit slow to start.

I was with my wife so we shared everything but otherwise it may have been awkward. Drink menu is good, including several margaritas. My standard version was delicious and the second one was just as good! The food was really good. We had scallops, tuna, and prawns; all really good but the Tuna Tostada always amazing.

The ceviche was fresh and played really well. I loved how you can choose two flavours + spicy for the soda or margaritas. Overall an incredible deal for the quality and quantity of food.

I'm always scared it's going to be overcooked, because at many restaurants the fish usually is, but this was perfectly grilled and well seasoned. The bed of veggies underneath had a really nice, subtle flavor that complemented the fish without overpowering it. I also ordered their banana cocktail, which honestly surprised me. I didn't think I would ever like banana in a cocktail, but it was absolute heaven. Smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet. One of those drinks you think about ordering again halfway through. For food, I also had the braised short ribs, and they were excellent. Super tender, rich, and full of flavor. Definitely one of those comforting dishes that still feels elevated and well executed. The decor deserves its own mention. The space is warm, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, and there's an actual live tree inside the restaurant, which is such a cool touch. You can already tell this place must be incredible in the summer when everything is open and lively. Overall, Porch delivers on food, drinks, and atmosphere. Easily a spot I'd come back to, whether for dinner, drinks, or a special night out.
