"Renowned Denver chef Troy Guard’s modern take on the steakhouse has made Guard & Grace one of Denver’s most upscale eateries. Located at 18th and California, it’s the ideal place to enjoy dinner and drinks before or after a performance at the DCPA. With a sleek curved bar, floor to ceiling picture windows, and an expansive wall of wine, it’s the epitome of understated elegance. Slip into one of G&G’s blue velvet banquettes and order up a Manhattan: their take features Angel’s Envy Bourbon Finished in Port Barrels, sweet vermouth, a dash of herbal Italian liqueur, and walnut bitters poured over an oversized ice cube. A strong bourbon drink demands a meal that can hold its own – try the braised Colorado lamb or a filet mignon topped in decadent crab Oscar." - Vox Creative
