  • star rating  Not from the area, and stopped in looking for a place to eat. Were advised up front regarding limited capacity and what was available, we sat outside while deciding what... read more we wanted and chose to stay there while we had the full set meal (even though the pizzas looked very tempting as well).

    Despite then being out of a couple of things, everything was excellent and they were upfront about what was being changed before we ordered. The service was great and the friendliness of the staff was exceptional. Everyone that we interacted with, from the kitchen staff who directed us to the right door, the lovely woman who served us for most of the meal and the friendly young guy who joked with me a bit, were all great.

    If I had to pick a favourite item that we had, it would be the Gorgonzola mousse with crunchy prosciutto. But each item was interesting and well made.

    We were not the biggest spenders as we mainly ordered pizzas, we are not drinkers and we took our own birthday cake but we were treated with utmost respect and will definitely recommend this restaurant to all.

    I look forward to future visits and would love to try some of the very tempting desserts listed on the menu.

    Personally I'd like to see The Guild open for lunch. I visit Batemans Bay regularly and it would be a nice drive to Milton to have lunch, even if only on the weekend.

    Thank you to the host and staff for an enjoyable evening in a very pleasant atmosphere.

    star rating  Nice pizzas, pretty cosy BUT $15 corkage! Not only that, resident wine list limited and extremely expensive. Two couples agreed never again.

    star rating  We had high expectations based on the excellent reviews, and we were certainly not disappointed. The menu contained all the traditional pasta and pizza favourites, but our entrees of lightly... read more seared tuna and scallops, with flavours like coconut and lime (and potato juice!) were fantastic, and absolutely not what we expected. The gnocchi and salad we shared were also excellent, as was the complex affogato desert. The wine list is extensive, the ambience was fine, service could not be faulted, and price was reasonable for the quality of the meals presented. I'm struggling to find anything that was less than perfect, but maybe some additional wines could be available by the glass as well as by the bottle. The owner Stefano was very generous with his time to explain the menu and check how we were going with our meal. Bravo!

  • star rating  Good food; good Australian service. Table for four just hopelessly impractical-far too small for four dinner plates, 4 bread plates; plates for two side dishes; 4 each wine and water... read more glasses; water carafe; candle. But had the table been much larger conversation would have been impossible because of the high noise level. Hard surfaces; a kid nearby encouraged to test the reverberation; the usual quota of people who go out for dinner to shout at each other...
    The king fish main and king fish risotto were excellent. The Farmers Wellington showed signs of pre-cooking and re-heating, served suspiciously quickly and the pastry was too hard. Deserts were served without forks - and only two were provided when asked for. Serving tiramisu in a jar so it must be eaten vertically is a mistake. Outside dining on a warm night preferable but the outside tables have stools not chairs, so not a real option.

    star rating  We were recommended The Guild by numerous people, so our expectations were of, at least, pretty good food.

    Unfortunately, they were underwhelmed.

    The restaurant itself is... read more fine. A small establishment in a local shopping village. Comfortable, albeit they kept the door open all evening despite the cold.

    The waitstaff were pleasant and tried their best.

    The food was the primary issue. Our entree was incredibly generous, which was lovely, but was something we could have put together ourselves at home. I couldn’t tell whether the cheese was locally sourced or store bought etc.

    Our mains were pretty terrible. Meat was all at once very dry and over cooked, but at the same time, the fat wasn’t rendered, leading to a tough and chewy exterior. Edible but not enjoyable.

    The pizza was severely disappointing. It is certainly a trend to produce a pizza that is almost a pool of liquid on the plate, and in that sense, this pizza was very trendy. Very, very wet, cheese and sauce essentially mixed together into a puddle on the plate as soon as you moved a slice. The crust was crispy enough, but the base was completely sodden because of just how wet the topping was. It was also relatively flavourless.

    The desserts were...not recommendable. It appeared they were trying to do modern twists on classic dishes, when they should have stuck to basics. Tiramisu, when done classically and well, is perfectly delicious. This ‘take’ on tiramisu was plain, dull, devoid of everything that makes a tiramisu indulgent (the taste of coffee, the sponge). Thin, dry slices of ‘sponge’ (ie biscuit) between sandwiches of flavourless cream, topped with a small quirt of what I assume was intended to be a coffee syrup, does not a tiramisu make.

    To add insult to injury was the price. We paid around $150 dollars for two people, which is what we would pay in a big city establishment for significantly better food. We would have found the food more forgiving if they weren’t pricing themselves like a genuinely great inner Sydney Italian.

    These are all relatively easy fixes, and I think The Guild would be a lovely spot if the menu was reworked. Pizza should not lack its structural integrity, and meat should not be overlooked with under rendered fat. Basic technique problems that can easily be fixed, to complement a nice location and interior and a friendly, attentive floor staff.
