    Absolutely fantastic dinner. We were seated quickly and our food came out very quickly. Drinks were delicious. They had left us a card for anniversary and all of the staff signed it, it was really sweet. We were so excited about the Wagyu sliders that we forgot to take a picture. The bacon wrapped dates were 10 out of 10 in the boa buns were perfect. The vibe was great and the place was packed. We can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu.

    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.

    Food was outstanding. Service by our waitress Emily was superb and considering how well attended the restaurant was during a 1:00 pm service, very responsive! We ordered the Ahi Tuna Tartare Tower and BBQ Bacon-Wrapped Cedar Plank Gulf Shrimp. Both were very flavorful and not a bite was left behind. My husband's 10 oz Filet Mignon was cooked perfectly to his request and I had a moist and well prepared char-grilled salmon. I opted for the lunch version which came with whipped potatoes and grilled vegetables. Probably one of the best lunches I have experienced in a long, long while. We opted for desert and the Chocolate Jubilee Cake was so decadent...goodness, when it came to the table my husband's eyes almost popped out of his head ..lol, it's generous all right! I preferred this to the Chocolate Crunch Tower that he ordered..(no we did not eat all of the Jubilee cake!).

    My sister and I went for a late dinner. This place was gorgeous! Great ambiance, lovely, knowledgeable waitress and great drinks! The food was good too! The only thing I would say is we ordered steak medium well and it came out a bit undercooked. We were so hungry that we went ahead with most of it except for the centerpieces that were just too undercooked for us to eat. When our waitress came over to check on us, we told her about it… She assured us that it could be cooked longer, but since we only had a few pieces left, we did not take the offer. However, we did order dessert and she ended up comping us the dessert to our surprise! Overall, this was a very good experience and a beautiful place! Although it was too cold to sit out on the rooftop patio… they encouraged us to walk out and take a tour… It was breathtaking! Make your reservation ☺️

    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.
