A great restaurant meal can be an act of storytelling and transportation. Sliding onto a stool at a bar, being met with a classy and silky martini punctuated with a briny olive, is there to prepare you for a plate of finely-shucked oysters that were bobbing in the Atlantic 36 hours ago. In this moment the noise and cacophony can melt away, your phone finds its way back into your pocket, and we find communion with those of us on our left and right.We place a premium on doing the work to find producers, growers, and ranchers that have values that align with our own. It’s our desire to bring food to your table that speaks to its sense of place and time, and to be able to bring the connection to those producers to a higher level of consciousness.

    I had the best experience having Thanksgiving dinner here! My father came to town, so I wanted to choose a place that was impressive. Every dish was perfectly cooked. I think my favorite, aside from the New York Strip, was the potatoes au gratin. Really, everything on the menu was impeccable. I definitely think everyone who is looking for a high quality experience should visit Guard and Grace. The service was phenomenal, the food was delicious. and we had the most amazing experience!

    What a lovely trattoria. Great service from maitre’ d Seth, my server Alane and her support team. The food was excellent, gnocchi and polenta stole my heart as well as the authentic and mouthwatering puntarelle insalata. Approachable in all areas for the casual diner to the elegant wine savant. 10/10.

    All food was wonderful….. Mezze platter, crouchettes, wine, paella, Catalan flan type dessert… disappointed though that no mint or herbal tea was on the menu or in the house. We had requested a city view… texted that it could not be guaranteed and ended up in the furthest back table away from any view. That was disappointing but the food was so good 👍
