- MMariavipWisconsin •47 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoA must dining spot whenever we come to Denver. The most delicious Italian food and always top notch friendly service. We had the best bruschetta, Italian sausage, focaccia and assortment of pastas. So glad they offer 1/2 servings of pasta so we can enjoy the amazing homemade focaccia, seasonal appetizers and dessert! Thank you for another great dining experience!More infoCopertaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Uptown•4.7
- LLauravipPhoenix / Arizona •154 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoHad a nice meal but unfortunately the hostess was not great. We asked to be seated at a larger table but were told all the tables around us were reserved. We sat for an hour and a half having dinner and none of the tables were filled. Don’t lie to your customers. We have lots of dining options.More infoEarls Kitchen + Bar - Downtown DenverPrice: Expensive• American• Downtown / LoDo•4.4

- MMontrellKansas City / Kansas •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoI recently had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at Guard & Grace, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and genuine hospitality that made us feel special. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, always checking in to ensure our drinks were filled and that we had everything we needed. They effortlessly guided us through the menu, offering excellent recommendations that we thoroughly enjoyed. To top off the evening, the restaurant surprised me with a complimentary dessert that was not only delicious but beautifully presented. It truly made my birthday feel even more special. The ambiance was inviting, making it the perfect backdrop for a celebratory dinner. I highly recommend Guard & Grace to anyone looking for great service alongside delicious food.
