    My husband and I’s probably 6-7 time to Guard and Grace and this was our best experience by far. Great server. He communicated when the kitchen was behind before we even started getting antsy. The food was incredible. All of the staff is always super attentive and kind and makes you feel welcomed. Definitely our favorite place in Denver.

    The food was amazing - it took a very long time for my food to come out and they did apologize for the delay but no compensation was provided for the longer than normal wait time on food. There were two groups that didn’t seem to get along and were causing a scene in the restaurant but not sure how the management handled it. Other than those two issues it was all very delicious.

    This is an incredible steakhouse. Extreme detail to every part of the experience. We sat at the chef table and watched the kitchen. We shared to wagyu tomahawk ribeye. Will definitely go back next time in Denver

    James D. was fantastic. He made wonderful recommendations! We enjoyed the Octopus to start, then the Filet Flight MR with a half order of the miso cod. The miso cod is rich, the half order portion was perfect. James recommended a half order of the gnocchi and we were so glad! Delicious! Fun ambiance, great selection of wine, fantastic service!

    My fiance and I went here for our 8th anniversary, and we were completely blown away by the food, the attentiveness. The staff really pulled out all the stops to make the night special for us. I could not reccomend this place enough.

    We walked into Guard and Grace, buzzing with nerves and excitement—we were there for a surprise re‑proposal. Somehow, the staff caught our vibe right away. The host flashed a smile that said, Relax, you’re in good hands. Our server stopped by just often enough, chatting like an old friend and never making us feel rushed or like we didn’t belong. The space is gorgeous—high ceilings and an open kitchen bursting with energy—but honestly, it’s the people who make the place glow. When the ring came out, the team was ready to share the moment and our happiness: a big “Congratulations!” here, loud cheers there. It felt like a dream. And the food… wow. Steaks landed perfectly charred, the sides disappeared fast, but the moment burned into my memory is dessert. The kitchen sent out a warm pineapple‑carrot cake—dreamy, a little tropical—our own miniature wedding cake. One candle, an electric atmosphere, and suddenly life felt huge and tiny all at once. Guard and Grace didn’t just serve dinner; they gave us a memory etched in our hearts, wrapped in kindness, great food, and genuine celebration. Whether you’re catching up with friends or swapping rings, this is the place you want on your side. I left with a fuller heart—and an even fuller belly—and that’s saying something.
