    My 13 yo son and I were in Denver for a tourist day and based on a rec from family grabbed a late Sunday evening reservation at Guard and Grace. We ordered the crispy rice tuna app, shared the filet flight and got the duck fat fries and mushrooms as sides. Everything was amazing and made the a core memory for me and my foodie son. We ended with the sticky toffee cake which was delicious. Travis, our waiter, was kind , informative and gracious. If you can grab a reservation for a fancy dinner this is the place to go.

    From the time we arrived until we left, we were treated to an amazing evening by everyone we came in contact with. We went to celebrate my wife’s new job and the entire staff even signed a card for her. Our server, Shawn (Sean), was remarkably fun and professional throughout our visit. He really made the evening more special for us. We had Greta conversations with Connor as well about wine from the Oregon region. From appetizers thru main entree to dessert….our tastebuds were ecstatic. And we sure did not leave hungry. :) We felt the noise level was a little high for us to have a quiet night out but the ambiance and decor as well as the smell was worth it. A little pricey on a couple items but again, well worth it. We were a little taken back that there were more people in very casual clothes and even a few with ball caps on for this to be one of the top 50 places for steaks in the world. (I think they should be atleast in the top 10!! Overall, fantastic experience and would go again and again without it being a special occasion.

    We had one of the best meals ever at this establishment. All the staff took great care of us. It was my wife’s birthday and my daughter is moving to Denver so we were hoping for a special dinner. Great food. Hats off to Connor for the wine recommendations and Crystal for seating us at the perfect booth and Brian for the great food recommendations.

    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.
