    I took my boyfriend here while we were visiting Denver to celebrate his 30th birthday, and I’m so happy with our experience! We enjoyed the octopus appetizer, ny strip and ribeye steaks with whipped potatoes and brussels as sides. Everything was cooked to perfection, and I’m typically not a fan of octopus but it was so tender and well executed I wanted to order a second plate of it. Steaks were perfectly cooked to medium and very flavorful. Brussels were phenomenal. Service was friendly and competent, we loved that the plates were brought out by some of the chefs who also made sure to wish my boyfriend a happy birthday. We finished the meal with an affogato with brown butter ice cream, yum! Only thing I can say is that it was rather chilly inside and we didn’t love the music, but those are easily overlooked by everything else. You’re going to spend money coming here but it’s a must for a special night in Denver!

    Not a great experience. We ordered French dips and half of them had raw beef on them, highly unappetizing

    This our 4th year going to Guard and Grace for our anniversary. Each year we look forward to what is in store for us. We were not disappointed this year at all. The service is phenomenal and the food is spectacular. Each dish from the start to the finish is well-crafted, with fantastic taste and exquisite plating. If you go, you will not be disappointed. We will be back next year for sure!

    Great food and service! The music was a bit loud and made it difficult to have conversation at the table. Other than that, five stars!

    My wife and I went to Guard & Grace for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. We could not be happier with our experience. The foood was amazing!!! Steak, lobster, baked potato, and the French Onion soup is to die for. But the service was way above and beyond what we were expecting. The staff signed an anniversary card for us, and personalized the dessert plate for us. Oh, and the banana teramisu was just as amazing. All the staff were so friendly and professional. This is definitely our new go to place for a nice meal. Everything was perfect. Brian M was our server, and he made the night. I cannot say enough good about how well we were cared for.
