    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!

    What a lovely trattoria. Great service from maitre’ d Seth, my server Alane and her support team. The food was excellent, gnocchi and polenta stole my heart as well as the authentic and mouthwatering puntarelle insalata. Approachable in all areas for the casual diner to the elegant wine savant. 10/10.

    Randomly chose to try because it is in close proximity to the Ogden Theater. So happy we did! the portions were perfect for two, the flavors were excellent. The highlight was the crab bisque - It was so rich and flavorful. Personally didn’t enjoy the mushroom but my friend did. We also enjoyed the truffle mac & cheese, short rib tacos, and dirty vodka martinis with hand stuffed blue cheese olives. Can’t wait to go back!!
