State of grace is a state of mind..... it’s a magic place.
The whole staff was friendly, welcoming and playful! This is not a place to take for granted.
Adam and Adam on the wood fire station were cool calm and collected at all times during our chef table dining experiance. They were busting out beautiful food for the whole space including some of our seven courses.
Chef Bobby is a bad ass, with a very kind side. He and his staff are a force. It was pure joy on all levels .........
Drove an hour just to check out Friday Happy Hour and the $1 Oysters. We sat at the bar and Han was our bartender. He made us a couple of Martinis at our request although they weren’t on the menu (Cucumber Lime & a dirty). They were the best we’d ever had. That right there means this place cares about making their customers happy and we will be coming back. Thank you for the great service, food and drinks.
First date after our baby was born and it was definitely worth it. We got to take part in the Chef’s Counter experience which was a 7 course meal curated to a max group of 6 people. The food was amazing and each dish was presented to us by the chef who made it. The staff was super friendly and made the dining experience a lot of fun.
Personally one of my favorite brunch spots in Houston.
Special shoutouts to Wednesday & Andrew for their excellent service.
Things I enjoy eating.
The crab cake hush puppies.
The swordfish.
The deviled eggs.
Shoot. Everything I’ve had so far has been delicious and devoured.
If you are looking for a nice, quiet but lively brunch spot with a lot of visual appeal I would definitely suggest this place.
Service is wow!!! From the waitress to the servers everyone is so attentive and nice. We started off with a peach salad, a very unique taste so it is a must try! Also the ravioli a very unique taste with corn filled and pepitas, had never had anything like that before. The fried eggplant was delicious!! Not a fan of eggplant but the crisp and sauce gave it an extra twist! I had the pork (since I don’t eat seafood) and it was very flavorful! My husband had the fish and oysters (the ones from Canada which are more salty where his favorite)! Definitely a must try if you are in Houston! Forgot to mention the dessert! The best dessert I have had in HOUSTON!!!
My son liked bolognese pasta. It wasn't salty and the sauce was really deep. It's not in the picture, but the grilled octopus was delicious and the oysters were fresh. Don't miss pecan ice cream for dessert.
So this place never disappoints and we’ve been coming over a year and it’s one of my top 3 restaurants in Houston! My favorite thing is the attention to detail when it comes to the marriage of ingredients to make some of the most amazing tasting dishes. The chef has carefully placed a unique spin to some of the classic home cooked dishes while respecting and honoring the culture and roots of each dish. After having the cheesy grits I said the chef must be from Alabama because that first bite took me back when I ate some cheesy grits in Alabama. The ambiance is classy, southern and cozy and you are always greeted like family and on your way out a delightful ginger Whoopi pie is offered for Free!!! Who does that in Houston??? Manager George is so personable and the entire staff is awesome!!

Came here to celebrate our anniversary and this restaurant truly made our night extra special! First of all, the atmosphere was airy, elevated but not pretentious at all. The staff were some of the most attentive and welcoming of all. They know the menu very well and give excellent recommendations. For starters, their complimentary dinner roll was delicious, accompanied by their house made butter. We also ordered crab fingers, hush puppies, a side of fries, and roasted oysters as appetizers. Crab fingers were fresh and fun to eat. The hush puppies were a bit sweet for my taste, even without power sugar. But my partner ended up liking it with the powder sugar. So it worked out that our waiter suggested in the first place to put powder sugar on the side for us. The peanut on the roasted oysters were a nice surprise but the overall taste and texture of the oysters fell a bit short. The bearnaise sauce accompanying the fries was perfect, though the fries were lacking the crisp texture. Then for entrees, we had pork jowl and filet mignon. The pork jowl was 10/10 and I highly recommend it for pork lovers. The flavor and texture of the pork were of perfect execution. The filet mignon was also delicious according to my partner, though the mashed potatoes wasn’t his favorite. But the minor issues of the dishes were more than made up by the staff taking notice and making sure that our feedback was noted. We concluded our dinner with two desserts, namely Texas pecan ball and blueberry pudding cake. The pecan ball really showcased chef’s perfect execution of the texture. Crunchy pecan and velvety chocolate on the outside with the vanilla ice cream on the inside. Overall one of the best dining experiences and we will come back for more!
This place is always consistent. Happy hour oysters is a must.
I often come here just for their desserts. Any of their seasonal pudding cake (if you can catch the toffee one, my god so good trying to convince them they don’t need to rotate flavors and keep this one!) and the TEXAN PECAN BALL! The flavors and execution of this dessert is top notch. The caramelized pecans, the hot fudge, the ice cream and the texture of the cake is divine. You seriously won’t regret it!!!!!!
I went there with a private group with a room to ourselves. It was phenomenal! We had a limited menu to make it work for the group. My "appetizer" was a very large piece of octopus. I really don't think I've ever had octopus unless it was fried and even that I don't remember it. However, this octopus, tasted like steak and had the consistency of steak! I highly recommend it, and I would get it again! I believe my main course was prime rib. I'm sure this is sacrilegious to the prime rib fanatic, but I would prefer mine a little closer to medium than to rare. That being said, it was delicious and I ate it all! The topper was dessert which was a huge ball of vanilla ice cream on top of a brownie, drizzled in chocolate! I've been trying to skip desert if I could, but this was way too tempting and I ate it all, also! The servers were very attentive and personable. This is what fine dining is supposed to be!
A fantastic upscale dining experience with exceptional atmosphere and an attentive welcoming staff. The red fish is not to be missed and highly recommended. I want to reiterate how exemplary the staff was for our visit as we entertained visitors from Germany.
My husband and I visited state of grace in Houston, Texas last spring and I cannot wait to dine there again someday. The elevated dining experience starts when you arrive with valet parking and coat check. When you make your entry into the restaurant it is dark and candle lit with perfect vibes. I ordered the strawberry fields cocktail to start and it was beautiful. I highly recommend ordering the shrimp cocktail. The shrimp are massive. Everything was delicious from start to finish. Upon leaving they offered us tiny home made cookies and were so friendly. State of grace has thought of everything and I recommend making reservations for your trip to Houston.
