Grace stands out. Designed by locally based Kimberly
Timmons Interiors (KTI) for chef-owner Troy Guard's
TAG Restaurant Group (and named for his daughter), the
modern steakhouse features an interior that is elegant but not
stiff or overtly masculine, and fi lled with natural light, clean
lines, and a sense of vibrancy.
"Our goal was to interpret Troy's vision of a modern,
progressive steakhouse with mountain and urban influences, all
while incorporating his personality into the design," says KTI's
founder, Kimberly Timmons-Beutner. KTI and TAG collaborated
on several restaurants in the past, but Guard and Grace is their
largest to date, with an open layout fi lled with inviting pops
of rich color, and artfully combined textures that reflect the
steakhouse's fresh ingredients. "He wanted this to be the bestlooking restaurant in town, recognized for the design as well as
the food," Timmons-Beutner explains.
