Named after our daughter Grace, along with the idea that a steakhouse can be graceful, whimsical, and elegant without being dark and moody. What started as a vision to keep the vibe light and airy while letting the outside in, has turned into an Award-winning design of which we couldn't be prouder.
This menu is truly meant to offer something for everyone, with often found steakhouse features as well as a plethora of seafood to truly highlight the best of the gulf and beyond. Prime, Dry Aged and local Wagyu cuts of beef in 4 to 40 oz. portions are available to satisfy any sized appetite. Innovative cocktails and wines from around the world top it all off -making Guard and Grace the place to be for happy hour, a couple's night out or your private event.
Our family, or Ohana, is a passionate group of culinary obsessives who strive to make memories that will last a lifetime. Houston is a special city that has stolen our hearts, and from the bottom of them, we thank you for joining us.

    This was our first time trying Guard & Grace, our expectations were high. From the moment we arrived to the time we left everything was great! The food was delicious and the portions sizes were amazing! The cocktails and desserts were all fabulous! Our server was great she provided a full menu "walk-thru" and recommendations. Our steaks were cooked to perfection! P.S. add the truffle butter to the steak. This will be a regular dinner spot for my wife and I.

    Service in the beginning was disappointing, the manager wasn’t very accommodating so it started the dining experience off on the wrong foot. Food was probably a 7 out of 10. Overall experience 5 or 6 out of 10.

    Johnathan was the best waiter, he was very nice, and he answered all of our questions! It was very easy to get ahold of him, charismatic, and a cool guy.

    The gnocchi was great. The steak was good. The wedge with shrimp was sub par. No dressing on the wedge and it had no flavor.

    Service was pleasant and prompt. The yellowfin tuna ceviche with poppers was an unexpected treat. The duck confit sandwich was tasty and the portion generous. The swordfish bowl got rave reviews from my guest.
