    Good food, not outstanding. Pretty restaurant. Very pushy waiter. Felt belittled for not ordering more even though I was just there for a light meal. Ruined the evening.

    We went to Guard & Grace for the first time yesterday evening and it was an absolutely perfect dining experience. Not only is the restaurant incredibly beautiful and inviting the staff are wonderful. We were celebrating our anniversary and felt so welcomed and taken care of during our time. My husband and I are both foodies and everything we got from cocktails to desserts were outstanding. I see why this restaurant has such high Google ratings and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal!

    Guard and Grace deliver an exceptional fine dining experience, showcasing top-notch cuisine, outstanding service, and a refined atmosphere—though not without a couple of drawbacks. The Food & Drinks – A Culinary Masterclass. The highlight of the meal was the Wagyu steaks, cooked to absolute perfection—tender, flavorful, and expertly prepared. The octopus, served on a bed of spicy beans, was another standout, offering a rich, indulgent contrast with just the right amount of heat. Every dish was carefully crafted, making it clear why Guard and Grace is a Denver favorite. The cocktails were equally impressive—artfully made, balanced, and bursting with creativity. Each sip was a delight, complementing the meal beautifully. Service – Impeccable Our server, Nitia, was an absolute gem. She was knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly attentive without being intrusive. Her expertise in guiding us through the menu and wine selection elevated the experience. The entire staff operated seamlessly, adding to the polished feel of the evening. Atmosphere – A Mixed Bag The open kitchen view is a highlight. Watching the precision and skill of the kitchen team in action adds an engaging, immersive element to the meal. However, the noise level in the dining room was a serious drawback. It wasn’t just the sounds from the kitchen—the speakers directly above our table were far too loud, making it difficult to hold a conversation. A simple adjustment to the volume could significantly enhance the dining experience without compromising the vibrant atmosphere. Dress Code – A Conflicted Experience Now, this may be my “old man complaint,” but when you’re spending upwards of $800 for a fine dining experience, you expect a certain level of decorum. Dressing up is part of the occasion, adding to the sense of occasion and respect for the craft on display. Unfortunately, seeing other guests in jeans, sneakers, and t-shirts detracted from the ambi

    Incredible! From the host stand to the end of the meal the staff is over the top friendly, the vibe and music list was on point and the food was fantastic. As a Denver resident this is hands down the best fine dining restaurant I have eaten at! Sad it’s taken me 9 years to get here.
