Ambiance, Service and Food/Drink presentation great! Disappointing the food/beverages did not taste as good as they looked. We ordered 4 different cocktails and 6 different entree from the happy hour menus and most items were a bit bland for me. Fish tacos were really good!!

Both myself and my dinner date got the Thai bowl. My friend’s dish was hot and cooked. Mine was cold, the broccoli wasn’t cooked and there appeared to be no chicken in my dish. We also ordered the Sangria. It seems that we had two different bar tenders. Hers was tasty mine made me wonder why I drank any of it. I tried my friend’s hers tasted like Sangria. Mine was awful. To avoid any difference in taste we shared the raspberry cheesecake. It was very good. Not as good as the brownie with ice cream. But still. Q1: Yes, I did sent back my main course. The food came back cooked but when my dinner came back my friend had almost finished her meal Q2: As for the Sangria. It wasn’t until my meal was sorted out that I started my drink. And noticed the difference in quality. I figured by then I was stuck so I drank water and a decafe coffee. Thank you Laura.

Food was no where as good as the last two times. Steak was tough and tasteless, mashed potatoes way too runny and the bison burger had no flavour and the dragonboat leaf lettuce wraps werent spicy at all and chicken in them was rubbery :(

Drinks order was late. One wrong meal brought out late. Substituted a Caesar salad without checking if that was to our liking. Had to take the correct late meal as a takeaway. Not our usual experience but disappointing to say the least.

Although the food is good the service was lacking. There weren’t very many customers yet service was slow especially towards the end we waited forever for dessert. Not very attentive and I didn’t feel it was necessary for the server to mention that I used a gift card therefore the tip would only reflect the remainder of the bill.

The food was delicious- ordered the Honey glazed chicken, and the portion was MUCH smaller than expected. It looked like the cut a 1/2 of a chicken breast in 1/2 again (cut along the width) and serve that as the mai part of the meal. The "seasonal vegetables" was really 4 asparagus stalks. That's it. Mind you, the food was absolutely DELICIOUS but for $24, I didn't expect basically a quarter chicken breast with 4 stalks of asparagus and cooking spoon full of mashed potatoes as the entirety of the meal. The dirt pie for dessert was frozen rock solid, so I had to wait for it to melt a little to cut into it. It was good, but the crust tasted like it had molasses in it, which is not a fave for me. Restaurant was about 75% full when we started but was quiet and emptied out towards the 8:30PM mark. Overall good experience but I don't know if I would go back due to the portion size of the entrée.

The service was exceptional. The food is delicious but pricey. My girlfriend ordered the cobb salad and the avocado was completely brown. That is easily spotted in the kitchen and should never have made it to the table. Perhaps it was premade and it simply browned in the fridge, it was replaced immediately. I had added the $5.50 chicken on my meal, was not even a quarter of a breast. It was tasty though. I enjoy the atmosphere and would definitely go again.

I took my mother to State and Main last night and it was amazing. The food was exceptional, and so were the cocktails. The price was very reasonable. We had 4 cocktails (blossom gin and tonic is my fave, but white sangria was delicious), and 4 apps and it only cost $111. Amazing!

Food was good, ambiance was nice. My server was possibly throwing a micro aggression at me (being visibly Asian and giving me and my friend chopsticks despite ordering pretzel bites, a sandwich and fish and chips). Still tipped him well but kind of regret it. Most likely won’t come back again unfortunately.

Great food, quality and quantity, both. Everything we ordered was very flavorful. Service was a but delayed especially in the end when I asked the server to get us box to pack the left over dessert, he just didn't come back. I had to ask another server for help. Overall a great experience if food is what matters the most

Waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for food that was delivered to each person about 10 minutes from each other persons at the table. Spoke to manager and our bill was covered and we left without eating dinner. Sad that the poor wait staff are the ones who have to be the first ones to apologize high and low for the issues that management are having. This was our first time at the restaurant and unfortunately the last.

-Requested Frech Dip sandwich and was not available. Never been to a restaurant where they ran out of an entree at 6pm(dinner time) -Appetizer of bacon tomato soup came after main entree (chicken burger) - server was efficient, respectful and kind and took time to explain menu. I will not be returning to this location of State and Main as a result of the requested entree not available during dinner hour and the size of the chicken burger was small.
