Great food. Top service. Amazing Christmas Eve Dinner

Excellent excellent excellent. The service is so good! Hannah has been our server twice and she’s fantastic. The food is wonderful, we haven’t had one item we haven’t liked in multiple trips. Try it!

This is probably my new favorite restaurant in Houston! Everything was perfect from the service to the taste of the food and even the cocktails. I could not recommend this place more for a special date night or even a friend date. Special shoutout to Dani one of the coowners for his hospitality.

I recently visited State of Grace for a Christmas date with my husband, and while I had high hopes for the evening, the experience was a bit underwhelming. We ordered 1/2 dozen raw oysters and Oyster Bienville to start, followed by two spritz cocktails and the Bistecca alla Fiorentina as our main course. While the service was attentive and the ambiance was inviting, the food itself left much to be desired. The oysters were fresh, and the Bistecca alla Fiorentina didn’t live up to expectations, especially considering the hefty $370 bill. Having traveled to Florence, we’ve enjoyed authentic Bistecca alla Fiorentina at Trattoria ZaZa and Buca Mario. The portions there were much larger, unbelievably flavorful, and cost around 70 euros—an experience we still miss to this day. Hoping to relive that memory, we decided to give State of Grace’s version a try, even at $225. Unfortunately, it fell far short of the real thing. Overall, while the service and atmosphere were enjoyable, the food fell short, making it hard to justify the cost. I wouldn’t recommend it for the price point, but it might be worth a try if ambiance and service are your priorities.

Beautiful bar with wonderful staff. They were lovely and very attentive to our needs. Drinks were a bit pricey but delicious so I couldn’t complain.
