GUARD & GRACE

Guard and Grace is a take on the big, fancy, modern steakhouse – miles and miles of fiery grills and charcuterie, oyster bar and bar tops, private rooms, and a posh, walk-in, floor-to-high-ceiling glassed wine cellar – yet still, with more of a bright, airy playfulness than the usual dark, stiff, mano a mano atmosphere.

STEUBEN’S FOOD SERVICE

Named after a famous family restaurant in Boston, Steuben’s respects the history of their name and the core ingredients of the American Regional classics they have masterfully recreated. They focus on the familiarity, subtly unique flavor, and memories of these classic comfort food twists.

THE BIG BLUE BEAR

Denver’s infamous Big Blue Bear statue peeks into the tall windows of the Colorado Convention Center. Artist Lawrence Argent named this friendly piece “I See What You Mean”.
