Named after our daughter Grace, along with the idea that a steakhouse can be graceful, whimsical, and elegant without being dark and moody. What started as a vision to keep the vibe light and airy while letting the outside in, has turned into an Award-winning design of which we couldn't be prouder.
This menu is truly meant to offer something for everyone, with often found steakhouse features as well as a plethora of seafood to truly highlight the best of the gulf and beyond. Prime, Dry Aged and local Wagyu cuts of beef in 4 to 40 oz. portions are available to satisfy any sized appetite. Innovative cocktails and wines from around the world top it all off -making Guard and Grace the place to be for happy hour, a couple's night out or your private event.
Our family, or Ohana, is a passionate group of culinary obsessives who strive to make memories that will last a lifetime. Houston is a special city that has stolen our hearts, and from the bottom of them, we thank you for joining us.

    The food and service is normally great, but the service last night was lacking. We were sitting for 15 minutes before we ever saw our server. The food was really good, but their steak is not as good as some of the other steakhouses at this price point.

    Good, not great. Price ranks up there with other top end steakhouses in the city, ie Pappas, Vic & Anthony's, Del Frisco, etc. Everything we had was good. But nothing was "amazing" except the service. Jessica, our server, was every bit of a Michelin starred restaurant server. Enjoyable evening, good dinner. Glad we tried it. ****

    This was an amazing time I had with my daughter and friends for her birthday celebration. The staff was immaculate. The food was 5 stars for the appetizer to the main course. This is the place to be. I will be back!

    We had an absolutely fantastic visit. From the moment I walked in I was warmly greeted. I was brought to my table by a very polite gentleman, our waiter was attentive and gave great recommendations. I ordered 3 appetizers, 2 entrees and 2 sides, there were only two of us dining. You don’t need multiple sides for two, they are enormous. Every single dish was to die for. I will absolutely be back.

    If you’re looking for an incredible steakhouse in Houston, Guard and Grace is a must. The atmosphere is upscale yet inviting, the service is spot-on, and the food is top-tier. The steaks are perfectly cooked, the seafood is excellent, and even the Brussels sprouts are unforgettable. But the real star? The carrot cake. Moist, flavorful, and perfectly frosted—it’s hands down one of the best desserts in town. Whether it’s a date night, business dinner, or special occasion, Guard and Grace never disappoints. Highly recommend!
