    After how good everything was last night, my husband and I have decided to make it a new tradition to always spend Christmas Eve here. Everything was 10/10. I had the Black Cod with soy butter sauce, and I don’t know how to enjoy anything else ever again after the flavor bomb that was that sauce.

    This place is amazing. My wife and I vacationed in Denver and were major foodies. Came to this spot with high expectations and they did NOT disappoint. The wait WAS a little long but it was worth it. My wife and I had the Wagyu filet mignon with octopus with carrots and their potatoes wedges. Amazing. Would definitely come back and would highly recommend.

    Guard and Grace exceeded all my expectations and delivered an unforgettable dining experience! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting and modern, with just the right touch of elegance. The service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. The food? Simply phenomenal. Every dish was prepared to perfection, with flavors that were both bold and beautifully balanced. The steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the sides were equally impressive—don’t skip the duck fat fries! The wine selection was vast, and the staff provided excellent recommendations to complement the meal. Guard and Grace is a true gem in Denver, perfect for special occasions or simply treating yourself to an extraordinary meal. I can’t wait to return!

    A wonderful place for a special occasion dinner or night out. The service was exceptional-it was my husband’s birthday and everyone on the staff we came across wished him a happy birthday. Our server did a wonderful job making the night feel special. The cheese plate was thoughtfully conceived and the smokey toast it was served with was outstanding. Our cocktails were top-notch-I especially loved the corn cocktail. The husband had the filet flight, which was such a special experience to get to try different tier steaks side by side. They were all raved about and perfectly cooked. The only issue with the evening was that the mashed potato side dish and the vegetariab risotto I had were both severely oversalted. I should have sent them back and Im sure the kitchen would have resolved the issue but it felt like we were too many bites in to ask. I would still highly recommend and return.

We certainly hope we will be welcoming you back soon! - Josie Lancaster, Front of House Manager

    Meal was okay overall. Nice selection of tasty cocktails and an extensive wine list. Fresh bread and butter were delicious. The Caesar salad was a spin on the normal, it was alright but not what we expected. French onion soup and steak trio were wonderful! The lower rating is because the sides were not our favorite. Generally a side simply compliments but both the broccolini and mushrooms had extremely powerful (read way too much) flavors. They detracted from the main meal. Kindly the sides were removed from our bill which was a nice gesture.
