    Excellent. Ambience was superb and our server Joanne was professional and fun at the same time, taking good care of the 4 of us. We highly recommend the crispy tuna sushi, and the octopus. Fresh, innovative and delicious. The Filet Flight was amazing and worth every penny. It featured prime, wagyu, and grass-fed 4 oz filets. We were welcomed warmly and greeted by friend Pastry Chef Ryan Walker who made sure we had a selection of signature cookies, the six layer carrot cake and more. Thank you Chef Ryan for your recommendations, selections and incredible deserts. Make Guard & Grace your next dining experience in Denver.

    Overall an outstanding evening from start to finish. Good creative cocktails. Interesting and delicious apps and flavor packed entrees combines with excellent service made for a wonderful evening. We ordered too much, but as first timers wanted to try as much as possible. Followed our server’s recommendations and glad we did as he recommended things we wouldn’t consider. Like the beef ravioli small plate. Don’t let the name deter you, the flavors are incredible! We had the tuna tartare instead of the ceviche and it was wonderful. The shaking beef entree was another one we would not have considered and it is off the chart good. The eggplant small plate was also memorable. A little coconut pineapple upside down cake and we called it a wonderful evening!

    Food was very good. Service was excellent. It’s loud in there because there isn’t much to break up the noise but that’s not a deal breaker. We were a little surprised at the portion sizes of the pasta dishes. I’m not saying they should serve an entire family but they seemed a little skimpy. The branzino was delicious. We’ll go back for sure.
