    This was an amazing experience from start to finish. The food? Incredible. I’ve been to plenty of upscale spots where I’ve spent triple the amount, and they still don’t compare. The vibe is perfect for a date night—romantic, cozy, and well thought out. What really stood out was the service: from the moment we walked in, every staff member we passed greeted us with a smile and positive energy. It felt like everyone genuinely wanted us to have a great time. Highly recommend!

    we each ordered a steak, and they came out cooked incorrectly (one overcooked, one under), so we sent them back. we had a chef and a manager come by and apologize for the steaks and thank us for letting them try again. all the food was excellent once it came out correctly and the service was great. when we got the bill, they had charged us for a third steak. they claimed it was a mistake and took it off. they did give us a free dessert for the trouble.

    This place is phenomenal. It is super pricey, but some of the best food in Denver. Portions are big, so almost anything is shareable. The cocktails are creative and delicious.

    After hearing fantastic reviews, my wife and I were eager to try this restaurant, but we were disappointed because the food was excessively salty. Many steak places seem to charge more for the ambiance than for the quality of the food. They often upsell by claiming their steaks are wagyu, but sometimes you’re better off just cooking a steak at home.
    Guard & Grace - DenverResponded 5 days ago
    We are so sorry you did not have a 5-star experience with us, John. We are committed to providing our guests with outstanding food and service, and we are very disappointed to have missed the mark. I hope you will give us another chance to get it right for you in the future. Thank you. Warm regards. - Tee Paddock, Guest Relations Manager

    Everything from when we walked in the door until we left was amazing! The food, the service were absolutely perfect! We had the flight of filets. The meat melted in our mouth! The wedge salad with Gorgonzola dressing was to die for! The A5 dumplings were wonderful! Eric was our waiter. He was attentive, professional and personable. He patiently answered all my questions.
