- OTOpenTable DinerSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoI flew into Denver and wanted to treat my son, who is in college, to a memorable dinner. The Guard and Grace accomplished everything I wanted my son to experience. It is expensive, which you understand before you even make a reservation. But the ambiance, the minute you walk in, combined with the impeccable service and possibly the best steak you might ever have, make it worth it. If you could afford it. I have nothing but great things to say about Guard and Grace. Thank you for the experience.More infoGuard & Grace - DenverPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown / LoDo•4.9
