I had the best experience having Thanksgiving dinner here! My father came to town, so I wanted to choose a place that was impressive. Every dish was perfectly cooked. I think my favorite, aside from the New York Strip, was the potatoes au gratin. Really, everything on the menu was impeccable. I definitely think everyone who is looking for a high quality experience should visit Guard and Grace. The service was phenomenal, the food was delicious. and we had the most amazing experience!

It's been quite some time since I've had a flawless dining experience, but this restaurant truly delivered a 10/10! From the delectable food to the impeccable service, everything was spot on. Colin, our server, went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic evening. He expertly split our entrée and our tab, making it the perfect hassle-free girls' night out. We can't wait to return and soak up the summer vibes!
