    We dined there for the first time last night to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We were greeted by our server with a card that was signed by the chef and all of the staff which was very sweet. We were so surprised to see how large the portions are. The family style sides were huge and a great value. The whipped mashed potatoes are hands down the best potatoes we have ever had. Truly. We are still talking about them. The only complaint we have- and it’s a very small one- is the open seating in the main dining room. We were very close the diners on either side of us and we could not have a private conversation. We booked only a week before, so I’m not sure if booking out earlier would have helped, or if there are more private booths. All in all, we had such a wonderful time. Our server was phenomenal, the food was sublime (go for the Filet Flight, you won’t regret it) and it has become our favorite already. Better than Shanahan’s and Del Frisco’s which are our usual go-to’s for steak.

    Top shelf from start to finish, as expected. Not stuffy or overly formal, just high level service and incredible cuisine. Can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu. Nydia was exceptional and made the evening even more memorable.

    We’re regulars at this restaurant and have always had a great experience. However, yesterday’s food quality, consistency, and flavor profiles fell short of our usual standards. But everything else, like the service and ambiance, was still up to par.

    Amazing meal. Went for an anniversary dinner with my wife. Food was amazing from start to finish. Service was top notch. Initially we were going to be sat in a very tight row of 2 person tables that also backed up to the kitchen. Not my idea seating. The host was awesome and put us in the much quieter back room instead. We will be back.

    We had a family dinner (8 adults). Everything was fantastic. Stephanie was the best. We had an issue with one steak not cooked properly but it was remedied. Thank you for everything. From starters (seafood tower and artichoke dip) to the salads, steaks, shareable and dessert, truly amazing.

    This was our 3d time easting at Guard and Grace. It was Saturday night and the restaurant was full. Still, we were seated right on time. Our waiter,Travis, was attentive throughout the meal and, at our request, made several helpful suggestions. One, for example, was to order half potions of pur sides to get more variety. This time I had the pork chop, a very thick meat, beautifully cooked and juicy with a creative pickled fruit sauce. My wife had the pasta special, which included braised short rib - also nicely cooked, flavorful and beautifully presented. We could talk to one another, and although diners were on both sides of us, we heard only our own conversation. We spent literally half what we had spent a year ago at STK and had a much better experience!

    2nd time visiting this restaurant. Food was excellent, steaks prepared properly, and our servers were knowledgeable and attentive. A little more input from our server about wine selections would’ve been appreciated, but we ultimately selected a great bottle of cab. Will visit again.

    This was our first time to Denver. Came for an owners business AGM and had a fantastic time. The service and attention by Tyler was outstanding. The support from other staff at the restaurant including the sommelier was top notch. This restaurant became our collective top restaurant for all previous Annual General Meetings. Tyler welcomed us and was very professional and attentive. He made us feel comfortable comfortable throughout the entire evening. Allow 2-3 hours for the experience and it’s worth every minute and every penny.

    G&G never disappoints. We've had dinner here several times now for special occasions. Hands down our favorite place to go for an amazing meal. The filet flight is an amazing way to experience the differences in the meats. Service is always wonderful. It's not a cheap place but nothing is cheap anymore and at least at G&G everything is top notch across the board.
