Guard and Grace occupies One Allen Center in downtown Houston, linked directly to the C. Baldwin Hotel. It's part of TAG Restaurant Group's small steakhouse group, with sibling locations in Denver and Charlotte. Adam Vero runs the kitchen as executive chef.
The room is built around modern design with details meant to nod to Houston's history, and the restaurant holds guests to a "casual elegant" dress code — collared shirts and dress shoes encouraged, athletic wear and hats turned away at the door.
Regulars point to attentive, polished service and consistently high-quality steaks, with ownership known for working the floor. It's the kind of place people book for anniversaries, business dinners, and other occasions that call for a bit of ceremony.
