About the restaurant

State & Allen Kitchen+Bar is one of those Dallas neighborhood establishments that is as real and as effortlessly fun as the people who frequent it. A place for a quick cocktail, or impeccably prepared food accompanied by a selection from an impressive wine list. We are your living room away from home, where you can hang out on our patio and enjoy good drinks, catch a sports game on the big screen—and above all, have a great time with old friends while making new ones.

The restaurant is spotless. My waitress was amiable. I ordered chicken tenders. I was told there would be three tenders. I received what looked like two wing sections and several other odd shaped pieces of chicken which were very dry.

About the restaurant

The team behind the Carbone restaurants that are now dazzling Dallas isn’t just about Italian. Their sparkling Sadelle’s in Highland Park Village is a New York deli — but hardly your typical one, which is why it stands out. Smoked salmon and sturgeon and deli sandwiches? Sure. But breakfast tacos, caviar, and Asian skirt steak, too.

Sadelle’s is a modern ode to New York’s classic tradition of all-day dining. Since opening its first location in the heart of SoHo in 2016, the brand has reached iconic status thanks to its urbane, celebratory atmosphere and a menu of hits, including the best bagels in America. Among its many accolades, Sadelle’s was named an essential brunch destination by Harper’s BAZAAR and Cosmopolitan, and its sticky buns were ranked one of the Best Dishes of 2015 by The New York Times. Sadelle’s currently has outposts in New York, Las Vegas, Miami, Paris, Boca Raton, and Dallas. The restaurant is named after MFG Co-Founder Jeff Zalaznick’s great grandmother.

This was our second brunch visit, and we have just loved it both times! We were lucky enough to have Andrea both times, and she made us and our guests feel so special! Her service is just wonderful, and we will definitely ask for her the next time we go. We've tried a variety of dishes at this point, and we've not been disappointed yet. The views are great, and the restaurant is beautiful. The only thing I probably would skip next time is getting a side of toast. It was on the menu for $8, and when it came, it was just one slice of bread, so that might not be totally worth it. Enjoy your brunch inside, and then don't forget to walk across to the outdoor bar for a drink afterward while taking in the city views. Love it!
