Came here last Sunday to celebrate our birthdays and had such a wonderful night! We were running a bit late but called ahead, they were super accommodating, and our round table was ready when we arrived. Our server Jonathon was amazing! so friendly, attentive, and really knew the menu. We loved his appetizer recommendations (potstickers and crab cakes were both delicious). For mains, we had ribeyes and filets with scallops, a pork chop, and a filet with crab meat that was loaded with crab. Every bite was perfect. The sides: broccolini, Brussels sprouts, and their signature fried rice, were outstanding (seriously the best fried rice we’ve ever had!). The atmosphere is lively but comfortable, and the acoustics are so well done that you can actually hear your table talk. We did get a little surprise with a 5% culinary charge, but the next day the general manager, Brandon, called to apologize and explain. That kind of follow-up really impressed us. We told him to keep the refund and give it to Jonathon instead. Great food, great service, and overall a 10/10 experience. We’ll definitely be back every time we’re in Denver! First time at this wonderful restaurant. Valet was definitely worth it for $20 on such a busy Tuesday night. The food was incredible! I love how you could get a bit of both filet and fish. One of the best filets and Black Cod I have ever tasted. Thankfully my company was paying as it was pricey. Sides came family style and were excellent. Had potato, brussels, and carrots. Dessert menu looked divine, but I was too full from dinner. Brought home triple chocolate chip cookies which are smaller than anticipated, but packed full of chocolately goodness. My husband ate all 6 in one sitting. Overall, service was superb-Shout out to Steven our server and the valet last night was on his game! This place did not disappoint! We made reservations for my best friend’s birthday and immediately appreciated the ambiance as soon as we entered through the door. The hosts are friendly. The atmosphere is inviting as well as diverse. I ordered the salmon dish while my friends ordered steaks with a side of whipped potatoes and broccolini. Everything was cooked to perfection! The triple chocolate chip cookies were a nice way to end the night! I will forever come here whenever I visit Denver.

We had the privilege of celebrating our 10-year wedding anniversary at Guard and Grace, and the evening was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were embraced with genuine warmth and impeccable hospitality. Our server, Josh, exemplified excellence in every way. He was attentive, professional, and sincerely caring. His thoughtful presence elevated the entire experience and made us feel truly celebrated. The atmosphere was exceptional, a perfect balance of elegance and warmth. The space is strikingly modern and sophisticated, yet it remains inviting and comfortable. Even with the energy of a bustling dining room, the ambiance never felt overwhelming. It was refined, romantic, and celebratory, setting the perfect stage for our special evening. The culinary journey was remarkable. The octopus was perfectly tender, paired with a vibrant chorizo sauce that was both surprising and memorable. The filet flight offered a masterful exploration of flavor, each bite better than the last. Dessert was a triumph, with the toffee and ice cream as an indulgence of perfection, and the signature cookies a delightful balance of cookie dough richness and baked comfort. Guard and Grace is the epitome of fine dining in Denver, seamlessly blending artistry, hospitality, and heart. It is a place to create memories, mark milestones, and savor flavors that linger long after the last bite. Without hesitation, we give Guard and Grace the highest recommendation and cannot wait to return. Five stars in every sense.
