We had dinner for three in their private dining room - great ambiance, lower noise level. Two dozen east coast oysters were delightful, served ice cold, opened to perfection, with delicious condiments - as always at State of Grace. Being regulars at SOG, we ordered our usual - Caesar salad, blackened redfish, Cacio et pepe pasta, and topped it off with their chocolate pecan ball. All were delightful, which, along with the normal friendly, efficient serving staff and attentive management team, keep us coming back again and again. Keep up the great work SOG team!

A neighborhood gem. My 2nd, my husband's 1st visit. It was lunch on a Tuesday. It was busy. Our waiter, Megan, was very nice and attentive. She made great recommendations. The devil eggs and crab dip appetizers were both on point. My husband had spaghetti. He loved it! I had the lobster roll. It was ok. The serving size was good, but it could use a bit more flavor, so I added some of the crab dip to it. Michael, the GM, was nice as well. Love the weekday happy hour. I'll certainly be back to experience more menu items.
