    Guard and Grace is a downtown Houston steakhouse where a dramatic installation of bronze rods does the decorating, and the corporate lunch crowd gives way to date-night lighting after dark. There's a seafood bar for the shellfish-first set. The filet flight pairs prime wagyu with angus, for diners who can't commit. Expect expense-account prices and a dress code of "just came from a meeting."

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Filet flight

      “If the decision between cuts is too much, try a filet flight, with 4-ounce filets of both prime wagyu and angus.”

    • Caramel apple cheesecake

      “Finish with something sweet, from caramel apple cheesecake with brown sugar crumble to a chocolate martini with salted toffee.”

      Eater
    • Angus steaks

      “Start with fresh catches from the extensive seafood bar before diving into Angus steaks from Creekstone Farms, rubbed with Chef Troy Guard’s signature seasoning.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
