Guild House Gourmet Luncheons

The Guild House is always a plus! I always introduce my friends to this place because it's so darn cute and the service staff are even cuter. Never had a bad meal here and I've been coming for years. This is Bakersfield's hidden gem!

I have been going to lunch with a couple of girlfriends for a few months now, to catch up with one another. It's always a special treat at the Guild House! We love it! Thank you, Guild House for helping make this our special place!

Last night we enjoyed a delightful dinner at this Bakersfield classic. We booked for an early New Year's Eve dinner. We were seated promptly upstairs at a cozy table for 2. Our server was so sweet (Kelly I believe was her name). She started out by telling us how each of the items on the menu for the evening was carefully thought out by the chef to promote good luck in the new year- pork, greens, black eyed peas, etc. From the soup to the dessert our dinner came out hot and every item was delicious. Everything was included in one low price, including a glass of champagne and coffee with dessert. The setting in this beautiful old home is so cozy. Last night it still had the warm and inviting look they create at Christmas time. There were numerous volunteer staff members there, providing service from cooking every item from scratch to serving with a smile and wishing everyone a happy new year on our way out. Kudos to the entire staff at this wonderful institution which is run totally by volunteers and whose profits benefit the Henrietta Weill Memorial Child Guidance Clinic.

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.
