So we stopped in yesterday after going to the Apple Store and we were very happy we did. As we walked in it was a very nice setup and we took A seat at the bar. We tried a few different things from the menu. We had the meatballs which was very good just wish it came with a few more pieces of the bread. We also had the Brussels sprouts that were good and a good size portion. Next we split the BBQ burger which was very good and the fries were nice as well. We also had the bruschetta it was okay not great. There are much better choices to pick from

Not too wide a selection of foods on the menu & definitely good for smaller plate dining but the atmosphere is amazing The burgers are the star of the show plus their full bar selection. Love the open seating and creative touch. Loved it , Juan our server was fantastic

A reservation is a must during the late hours. Super busy but great atmosphere. Fun filled location with great staff and outgoing people coming and going. 1. We decided to stay in the partió area. Heaters were keeping us warm. 2. The waitress/hostesses were amazing and just very attentive. 3. Facilities were clean and orderly with consistent oversight to maintain cleanliness. 4. The food was good, a bit generic, but we came for drinks and ambiance. 5. Great outdoor feel with a great view and fire pit. Overall, had a great time, prices were fantastic and the night was superb

The state never disappoints. Pop in for some food and good drinks. Gets a bit busy on weekends but worth the wait. If you’re just going for a drink you don’t have to be sat just find a spot at the bar.

First visit to The State, taken by my daughter for my birthday. She wanted to take me to a little bit more of an up scaled place. The State was just that. I really liked this place. A bit more up scaled than your average restaurant or local watering hole. It gave a classier vibe to your atmosphere as a eatery or bar. Service was a little slow, at least our waiter was lacking a little bit on the service side. But the food and drinks were definitely 2 thumbs up. A very relaxed atmosphere with a touch of class. Going to add this place to my "regulars list".

We came in for brunch on a Sunday. It wasn't crowded so we were seated quickly. We chose to sit outdoors and sat in the low seat area, which i probably wouldn't do again, just because it seems to be a "service" area. We ordered the Belgium Waffle, Chilaquiles, Street tacos, Spicy fried Chicken Sandwich and of course the Poutine Fries. The Belgium waffle was so good we ordered a second one! The orange honey butter and adds the perfect amount of sweetness to the Chantilly cream. If you order the dish, dont overlook the spearmint leafs! Make sure you chop up those bad boys for an added boost of flavor! Normally I don't care for restaurant Chilaquiles, but at the server's recommendation I ordered them, and boy was I glad I did! The sauce is served over the chips (instead of cooked in the sauce) which gives it that perfect texture! Served with an egg, it was packed with flavor! The street tacos were probably the best tacos I have ever had! I would have order more if I had room in the tank! Poutine Fries are am absolute must when you visit! The only bad thing about the State, is that all their food is so freaking amazing I always want to try something new and forget to order something I loved before!

Had a great work dinner here. It was perfect for a large group.Service was excellent. Nice modern, industrial-ish environment. We had a nice table in corner. The drinks were great! Loved their cocktails. Tasted great. The food was also really nice! We started with Brussel Sprouts and Poutine. Great for sharing. We then had a few entrees. I had the avocado tacos. They were really tasty.

I recently dined here, and while the food had some misses, the service was outstanding. Our server Alexis was incredibly attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. Really knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. We decided to go with the Bbq burger and bread pudding. The burger was good but it wasn’t until we received the pudding that we became hesitant, it was filled with oil making it inedible, likely from the pieces of bread. Alexis was quick to apologize and switched it out for us no questions asked. Honestly, the kind service really turned the experience around and made up for what the food lacked. I'd come back just for the service!
