Steakhouse

Top Tags:

Named after our daughter Grace, along with the idea that a steakhouse can be graceful, whimsical, and elegant without being dark and moody. What started as a vision to keep the vibe light and airy while letting the outside in, has turned into an Award-winning design of which we couldn't be prouder.
This menu is truly meant to offer something for everyone, with often found steakhouse features as well as a plethora of seafood to truly highlight the best of the gulf and beyond. Prime, Dry Aged and local Wagyu cuts of beef in 4 to 40 oz. portions are available to satisfy any sized appetite. Innovative cocktails and wines from around the world top it all off -making Guard and Grace the place to be for happy hour, a couple's night out or your private event.
Our family, or Ohana, is a passionate group of culinary obsessives who strive to make memories that will last a lifetime. Houston is a special city that has stolen our hearts, and from the bottom of them, we thank you for joining us.

Robert was fabulous! Everything was delicious and the service was incredible. My girlfriends and I came to celebrate our birthdays and we were very pleased with the evening. The steak, cod, and scallops were particularly delicious.

The valet service is the only thing that made our experience a 4-star. No one came to open the doors until we opened them ourselves. After charging $15, they did not care to open doors. Previous experiences with valet parking services in all other restaurants were fantastic even thought they were complementary. Food was amazing. We had oak fired octopus, hamachi sushi, oak fired half chicken, alaskan black cod, scallops, prime ribeye, and prime dry-aged NY strip. Every single dish was very tasty, and out server was very kind. The music is on a bit loud side, but it is enjoyable. Choice of music was good.

From the moment you enter the room, the view is spectacular! The host were very accommodating, being that I needed space for an additional person. I don’t recall our servers name, but he was on point. The food was just as good as well as the drinks. Overall 10’s across the board!

Excellent. We have a great dinner with delicious crab claws and a prosciutto trio appetizers. Followed this with a true prime ribeye. It’s obvious that the chefs here take the term Prime as it should be. The steak was marbled but not fatty cooked to perfection and served sliced so it could be shared. We had an amazing waiter Robert who took the time to offer up an excellent Malbec that really set our meal off. Overall this is a great example of what fine dining should be like.

This was my first time here. Very nice place with great service. Food was excellent. My only issue is the pricing. $93.00 for a 16oz lunch portion ribeye with nothing on the side. It came with a whole raw carrot. Not sure I understood that...The steak was cooked perfectly however it was way overpriced. Everything is ala carte. No bread was served. A business lunch for two with no alcohol and a couple of coffees after was $270.00! Seems excessive.

Went for lunch during the week. Atmosphere was nice and not too loud to carry a conversation, food was fantastic, and service was top notch. You did not feel rushed through the meal to "turn the table" but instead service was a nice balance of respect yet mindful of enjoying lunch during business hours. Overall a terrific experience I look forward to repeating.

Went first time to celebrate a special occasion Staff is attentive though not upfront about prices especially drinks and specials Macallan 12 single shot is $37 and change here More expensive than at other comparable restaurants The special steak and cod we were told would be $78 but were billed $92 They also have culinary service charge which we were told is a bridge between the diners and the chefs as apparently they are not paid d enough, maybe it’s a new thing as we have not encountered that before All in all prices are over the top for the food

Guard and all Grace offers a very nice dining experience. My wife and I each had 4 oz filet mignons. We appreciate having this size serving because we prefer smaller sizes. We gnocchi and Brussels sprouts as our sides. The gnocchi were probably my favorite dish. I really enjoyed how they had been seared a bit on one side to make them a bit crispy. The Brussels sprouts were a very generous serving. We finished dinner by sharing a delicious serving of sticky toffee pudding. The environment is modern. Very high ceilings. Seating on the benches for two is a bit tight.
