    The filet flight was superb. Our server, I believe his name was Josh, was such a fantastic waiter.

    Exceptional. Food was above and beyond, got the grilled crab and was blown away. Steak was cooked to perfection with a nice char, and the ceasar salad was flavorful and delicious. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable and on his game but not over the top which is my preference. Best fine dining in downtown Denver!

    My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Guard & Grace! We agree with the numerous other reviews that the staff is great. From the hostesses at the front door to the ladies who cleared the table after every course to the bartender who waved to us as we were leaving, everyone was very nice. Our server, Lindsey, was exceptional! She is very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us great information which helped us make the best selections. We thoroughly enjoyed talking with her. The food was outstanding! It truly was one of the best meals we’ve had. Our selections included: French onion soup, grass fed Filet, au gratin potatoes, and Brussel sprouts. It was all very, very good! For dessert we had the special selection which was peaches, monkey bread, and vanilla ice cream. It was amazing! My husband had an Old Fashioned cocktail (or two!) and he said it was awesome! We enjoyed Guard & Grace and plan to return on future visits to Denver.

From service, to drinks, to food - it sounds like you and your husband have more than enough reasons to come back! We look forward to the next time you're in town :) -Jenna Ferrini, Guest Relations Manager

    This was our first time to G&G at a recommendation from a friend. And we were extremely satisfied with everything. We sat at the Kitchen Bar so we got to observe the prep and process of the dishes being sent out. The food was exceptional. The drinks were spot on for our taste and our server made wine and dessert drink recommendations that made our meal even better. Steven R. was our “server”. He was much more than that. Steven made our experience at G&G on the top level. Steered us in the right direction every time from app to dessert. The Filet Flight to the choc chip cookies. 5 star experience. We hope we get back to Denver and when we do, we are going to G&G and hoping to get Steven.

    Our server was spectacular. He was knowledgeable, personable, humorous and extremely helpful. Our food, however, was extremely salty. The only dish that didn’t have an overtly salty taste from start to finish was the whipped potatoes and our dessert, of course. So while the company, atmosphere, and service was great… the value for the food was less than satisfying. I’ve been to G&G before a few times, and did not have this experience; however, my friends (their first time) and I are hesitant to return due to this.
