    The service was amazing. I was shocked at how loud the music was on Mother’s Day. I couldn’t hear my server and vice versa. Also, food was not as good as it usually is. My daughter ordered the blackened cod and it really has zero flavor. I ordered steak and eggs which was delicious. I’ll go back because this isn’t the norm there and service is always amazing.

    I’ve been to Guard and Grace many times. On this occasion, we brought family from out of town. The entire table described our meal, service and experience as epic!! One dish not to be missed is the miso black cod.

    Guard and Grace is a great steakhouse. They try very hard to also serve great seafood which I usually avoid in Colorado but I'll do some things at this restaurant. The place is pretty crowded which is fine but the acoustics should be redone because it feels like you can hear specific tables' conversations all the time. Service is very good but again it is difficult to hear the server at points. They do have private rooms that are behind glass doors which I assume allow those guests to talk easier. The steaks were very good. I will say we told them about my grandmother's shellfish allergy and we were assured there will be no cross contamination. My grandmother had two duck fat fried fries before we were told the same oil fried a crab cake. I don't know what happened of course but it put a damper on the mood as we were worried about my grandmother going back and forth into the restroom. All in all, despite being one of the best steakhouses I see why this restaurant doesn't have a Michelin star.

    WOW! Absolutely love this restaurant and will come here each and every time I'm in Denver. Best octopus I have ever had. We did the filet flight which was "melt in your mouth" good. I also started with the crudo and I have had their sushimi previously, which BOTH were excellent. The service it above and beyond, they are all so kind, genuine and go out of their way to make sure your experience is the best. Such a fun ambiance for work or play. This is actually one of my favorite restaurants in the entire country (I travel for work).
