    I absolutely love this place! I first tried the shrimp tacos and they were fabulous. I then went back and had a Noodle Bowl, even better than before! Waitress was super helpful, offering to put my sauces on the side instead of in the dish as it was possibly too spicy.

    We had a fantastic experience here! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was inviting and lively without being too loud, and the service was efficient and friendly. We ordered the Spanako Flatbread, The Empire State, and the Bourbon Peppercorn New York Steak, paired with some refreshing non-alcoholic cocktails. Both steaks were cooked to perfection and tasted incredible. The sides were generous and we had leftovers for another meal! The flatbread was great too, texture and flavour both good! Special shoutout to the perfectly cooked mushrooms and that bourbon peppercorn sauce - absolutely divine! The environment is warm and perfect for conversation, with music that complements rather than overpowers the space. One small note: the steaks come with a nicely seared, salted crust. I forgot to ask for a lighter hand on the salt so if you’re someone who prefers less salt, it’s worth mentioning that to your server when ordering. All in all, a great dining experience and we’ll definitely be back!

    We really enjoyed our dinner at State & Main. It was a Wednesday night, but the restaurant was quite lively. I ordered the Honey Glazed Cajun Chicken with asparagus and mashed potatoes, and it was delicious. The chicken breast was blackened, but it was also moist and tender. My son ordered a medium rare NY strip steak, and he loved it. Our server was friendly and attentive. She heard us discussing my son's birthday, and at the end of the meal, she brought out a large slice of chocolate mocha cake for him. We'll definitely be back again.
