    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.

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.

    The food was phenomenal and our server was amazing, he helped me coordinate a surprise for my husband's birthday and all of the staff signed a card for him. While he was in the restroom, our server had me sign the card then brought it out with desert. I wish you guys had an Alaska location, we absolutely loved The dining experience and quality of food and service. The special of the aged New York was truly a great cut of meat

    A new favorite in Denver. 30 oz bone in wagyu ribeye was soooo good for a share with my buddy! For sides duck fat fries and for apps the charcuterie rocked! Wine selection was wide and varied. We had the 2017 Epoch blend, a great recommend by the wine salmonier. After dinner Carajillos were spot on!

    Everything was excellent, we had a fantastic lunch! We had the Oak Grilled Octopus, the best my friend said she ever had, the Yellowtail Hamachi Sashimi (ordered a 2nd one), the Bubu Bowl and the French dip. I would highly recommend it. We got there at 2pm for a late lunch, they stop serving at 2, and the place was empty. Support this restaurant, it's top notch!

    Our meal truly exceeded expectations, in large thanks to the recommendations from our waitress. The gnocchi was such an unexpected delight and I would gladly eat those chocolate chip cookies every day.
