    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.

    The atmosphere and service were excellent. Our appetizers and wine were excellent, also. We ordered and shared the steak special for two and it was poorly seasoned and undercooked.

    Oh man, Guard and Grace in Denver totally stole my heart—5 out of 5 stars, and I’d give it a million more if I could! This place is pure magic. The food? Unreal. That ribeye was so juicy and cooked to perfection, I’m still dreaming about it, paired with creamy mashed potatoes and charred Brussel sprouts that were straight-up addictive. The fresh oysters and crispy tuna sushi to start? Total flavor explosions. The service was incredible—Abby, our waitress, was so warm and on it, and Arther, our sommelier, nailed the wine pairings, making us feel like VIPs without being stuffy. The vibe? This perfect mix of swanky and fun, with sleek décor and a lively buzz. And those chocolate chip cookies to finish the night? Hands-down the best cookies ever—warm, gooey, and pure bliss. I felt like I’d found a hidden gem. Guard and Grace, I’m hooked—I’m already counting down to my next visit!

Your kind words mean so much to us and we truly cannot wait to welcome you back soon. Abby and Arthur are both phenomenal - we are lucky in every aspect. -Jenna Ferrini, Guest Relations Manager

    Nice atmosphere. Exceptional service. We ordered the flight of steaks and seared scallops, everything was extremely over salted, so much so that distinguishing between the steaks was impossible. We all agreed that we would not return. For the price point I expected a better quality in the food. It’s as if no one in the kitchen is tasting the food.
