  “Very cool atmosphere and a great place to go on a nice date. I will say the food was not over the top delicious but it was good. They have some oysters on the half shell are $1.50 very day before 6pm which I loved! We went for brunch and tried the griddle cakes, gumbo, salade maison, buttermilk biscuits and got a dozen oysters.”

  “I come here all the time for their oyster happy hour. It’s $1.50 daily until 6pm and they usually have 4-5 different oyster options on happy hour, from gulf to east coast options. My friend also go the hush puppies and loved them! The oyster bar martini is also my favorite. I love sitting at the bar or in their oyster room. The vibes are amazing!”

  “We decided to check out this place at the last min before leaving Houston. We walked in and waited for around 20 minutes to get seats at the bar, which was first-come, first-served. …”

  “We had a lovely anniversary dinner. The service was amazing. The oysters were delicious, the Pom Pom mocktail tasty, and the La entrecôte and frites with aioli sauce did not disappoint. Was our first time to visit but we will be back!”

  “I must say I was surprisingly disappointed in my brunch experience. I had heard great things from peers about this restaurant but it did not live up to my expectations. The brunch menu was just not for me- I didnt see a lot of items that appealed to me but thats totally on me. Me and my guest had the [slider] burgers, griddle cakes and bacon. She REALLY enjoyed her griddle cakes and bacon and my slider smashburgers were just ok. The atmosphere was beautiful but it was the service that pissed me off. While ALL OF THE STAFF WAS VERY FRIENDLY, my server was just all over the place- it took him too long to bring me the things I needed- a clean appetizer plate, a straw for my water, a spoon to stir my coffee, refills on my coffee. He would come by and drop off one thing and before I could turn around and ask him for what I needed [because he wasnt asking me] he was gone....and gone for too long. Even when me and my guest were seated we told him it was our first time and we did not get first time treatment. With that I mean, an explanation of the menu, or recommendations or even just better service. He said "okkk let's have fun!" 🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ It was a beautiful restaurant and I understand that people get busy but it was truly frustrating. My advice: read the menu first and don't go during rush hours.”

  “Let me preface my review by saying I used to love State of Grace and I have spent thousands here over the past few years. Previously, it was my favorite fine dining restaurant and I’d written a five star review saying as much. The service, pricepoint, food, and experience was unparalleled. I would recommend this place to everyone. I was acquainted with many of the servers and FOH, as well as the chefs. Unfortunately, none of these things ring true anymore, and I can no longer recommend this restaurant. I made a reservation for 11 people for last night for my friend’s birthday. I called that morning to ask a question, and I was greeted by an automated message saying that the restaurant was closed that day for a private event. This sent me into a panic, there was no way I was going to be able to secure a reservation anywhere else so last minute. To my relief, a team member called me back an hour later and clarified that was incorrect and my reservation was still active. The birthday dinner started off fine, they brought our drinks and complimentary bread service, the starters arrived in a timely manner, and we placed our orders for entrees. I requested some extra bread for the table in the meantime. Unfortunately, everything started to go downhill after that. We waited nearly 45 minutes for our entrees. In that time, our server only stopped by the table twice, the second time being right before the food arrived. Both times I requested the additional bread, which was never brought out. We were not given any update on why the entrees were taking so long, nor did we even have a chance to order another round of drinks in the meantime. When the food finally did arrive, we encountered even more issues. My friend and I, as we always do, ordered the health roasted chicken with pomme purée, and requested it they split it amongst two plates. Another friend at our table also ordered the chicken for herself. I was shocked when they brought our half portions out, the pieces of chicken were very small and they only gave each of us one fork full of pomme purée. If you combined our half portions, it wouldn’t even come close to the full portion my forget friend had ordered (the pictures included in my review show both the full portion my friend ordered, and our two half portions, one of which I scraped up all of the pomme purée to show just how little they gave us). Unfortunately, I wasn’t even able to address the issue, because immediately after placing our entrees on the table, our servers disappeared again. They didn’t ask how everything looked, if it was correct, for us to enjoy, nothing. What’s worse is everyone had their food except for one person who had ordered a steak (which is strange, because someone else had ordered streak and that had arrived with the rest of the food). The servers didn’t even mention the missing entree until they came back 10 minutes later, and even then, it was only because we asked them to please check on it. When they did finally come back, I explained that I knew I knew it wasn’t their fault, but there was an inconsistency with the portion sizes with our chicken and pomme purée. I appreciate that they brought us out a full serving of pomme purée at no extra charge, but unfortunately, our chicken was still not only small, but now it was also cold. My friend’s steak arrived 15 minutes after everyone else’s food, and when the FOH team member set it down, she said “here is your steak finally!”, and walked away without offering any sort of apology. The FOH manager made an appearance a few minutes later and assured us they would be comping the steak and extra pomme purée, which I appreciate- but it doesn’t change the fact that the experience, food, and service as a whole was extremely disappointing. Oh, and we finally got the bread I asked for 4 times after my friend’s steak arrived. I miss the old State of Grace, but I doubt it will ever return to its former glory. Unfortunately, I have no intention of dining here ever again.”
