About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Fancy
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.

    It was my second time but my boyfriend’s first time. My first visit I had the Redfish on a half shell (skin fried crispy). You get a nice side piece of seasoned fish and the crab fired rice had lump crab meat throughout. The second time my boyfriend had that and I had the Crispy Cod. I never had Cod cooked to perfection with seasoning and flakiness. BOTH dishes were fantastic. The Cosmo cocktails were on point. Not everyone can make a great Cosmo but G&G can. I definitely will be back.

    Worst experience ever at this restaurant. Been here several times and never had this level of poor service and down right being ignored. Wasn’t even able to order more than a round of drinks so we left and went somewhere else.
    Guard and Grace - HoustonResponded 4 days ago
    Hi Joseph, thank you for your feedback. We are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience and the lack of service and the horrible experience you had with us. That is not something we strive for with our guests and not something we internally accept from our staff. Thank you for the feedback and we would like to hear more about your experience so we may fix this. Thank you, cheers.
