About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Fancy
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.

    The food and service is normally great, but the service last night was lacking. We were sitting for 15 minutes before we ever saw our server. The food was really good, but their steak is not as good as some of the other steakhouses at this price point.

    Good, not great. Price ranks up there with other top end steakhouses in the city, ie Pappas, Vic & Anthony's, Del Frisco, etc. Everything we had was good. But nothing was "amazing" except the service. Jessica, our server, was every bit of a Michelin starred restaurant server. Enjoyable evening, good dinner. Glad we tried it. ****

    Hi Josh, thank you for the feedback! We apologize that the value was not there for you but we're happy you enjoyed the food and service Jessica was able to provide you! We will be sure to let her know your kind words! Cheers
