"If you ever need to eat at an impressive restaurant for an impressive reason—a special anniversary, a major promotion, finishing that DIY project that took you six months—do it at Guard & Grace. This glitzy steakhouse serves oak-grilled wagyu with dramatic views and some very good white cheddar mac & cheese on the side. It shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes of staring out at the skyscrapers nearby to feel like the ‘80s C-suite executive you really are inside." - Team Infatuation
"This 15,000-square-foot space is a bright and airy departure from the dark tones of most steakhouses. Upon entering, all eyes are drawn to the more than 5,000 bronze rods hanging from the ceiling — an installation that is an ode to Denver, the “mile high city”, and the home of the restaurant’s original location. Banquettes offer views into the open kitchen, where guests can get a front-row view of chefs plating dishes like the hamachi crudo topped with pop rocks and an impressive 35-ounce tomahawk." - Marcy de Luna
"With its grandiose, two-story dining room adorned with a chandelier-like assembly of thousands of metallic rods, Guard and Grace is one of the most impressive steakhouses in the city. The bar is a happy hour hotspot, while table tops and booths wrap around the open kitchen, offering views of mouthwatering dishes like bone-in New York strip and Alaskan black cod that appear along the pass." - Marcy de Luna
"The glitzy Downtown steakhouse Guard & Grace offers something rare for Houstonians: a backdrop of high rises and Downtown views to make you exclaim, “Wow, this is fancy” at the table. So when you need oak-charred steaks, a candle-lit dining room, and some dramatic city scenery to match, go to Guard & Grace." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
"Like a lot of other steakhouses in town, Guard & Grace is massive, the service is vigilant, and the litany of meat might require a small personal loan to afford. But this glitzy restaurant also offers something rare for Houstonians: a Downtown high-rise backdrop for oak-grilled wagyu and a supporting cast of charred brussels sprouts and creamy mac and cheese. If you ever need to eat at an impressive restaurant for an impressive reason—like a special anniversary or setting up your bluetooth surround sound system all by yourself—do it at Guard & Grace for an extra touch of class." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
