Named after our daughter Grace, along with the idea that a steakhouse can be graceful, whimsical, and elegant without being dark and moody. What started as a vision to keep the vibe light and airy while letting the outside in, has turned into an Award-winning design of which we couldn't be prouder.
This menu is truly meant to offer something for everyone, with often found steakhouse features as well as a plethora of seafood to truly highlight the best of the gulf and beyond. Prime, Dry Aged and local Wagyu cuts of beef in 4 to 40 oz. portions are available to satisfy any sized appetite. Innovative cocktails and wines from around the world top it all off -making Guard and Grace the place to be for happy hour, a couple's night out or your private event.
Our family, or Ohana, is a passionate group of culinary obsessives who strive to make memories that will last a lifetime. Houston is a special city that has stolen our hearts, and from the bottom of them, we thank you for joining us.

    Delicious food. The service was amazing. The attention to detail and realizing we wanted/needed something almost before we asked. The escort near the kitchen line was cute

    I went there for a business lunch. One person had steak and said it was very good. I had an Asian salad with chicken and really enjoyed it. I added the chicken and it was a smoked chicken that was delicious. We also had the wagyu beef queso and that might have been my favorite menu item. I would definitely go back there again. Pretty expensive for lunch but a good place to take a client. It was kinda noisy too.

    I selected Guard and Grace to celebrate my husband's birthday and also because he loves the Filet Mignon. We've dined here several times but last night the service was not on par with previous visits. It was slow, not welcoming, the follow up on our food came as we were almost finished. I expected to receive the birthday dessert for my husband as I noted the celebration when making the reservation but it didn't happen. After receiving the bill I asked about it with the host walking by and said she'd let the waiter know. He came by after the bill was paid and acknowledged the birthday but after another 15 minutes of waiting we walked out. Not sure if this guy was new or the service is going downhill.

    Hi Monica, Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your previous experience for your husband's birthday was not up to par with your past experiences. We apologize that the complementary dessert was not presented and that it took a long time to come out. We appreciate the feedback as it makes us better in providing better experiences for our guests. Thank you
