Most excellent place to dine. Outstanding food,first rate staff friendly and personable. Great beverages and wine list. I highly recommend the "Skuna Bay Salmon ala plancha vegetables with clam vinaigrette,Heavenly! Strawberry and rhubarb shortcake with Rhubarb sorbet for dessert. Outstanding! If this was my last meal I could die a happy man. If I could I would give it a 10 and 5 star Michelin.
Outstanding restaurant with delicious food, a great menu, exception staff, and a great atmosphere that when ESB Art Deco ambiance.
Try the pastrami Ruben and ice cream sandwich dessert.
State Grill & Bar is located at Empire State Building, 350 5th Avenue, New York, NY 10018.
Food was good as was the service. A very pleasant evening out, to see the breathtaking night views on the 86th floor. Highly recommended..
I visited here today with family for lunch. I had a good experience overall. Loved the ambience and the food! We shared a Jumbo shrimp cocktail, a Chicken Burger, a Chicken Chop Chop and a Chicken Melanise...we were really satisfied with the flavors & the textures...the chicken was well cooked...the staff was very cordial... Both the quantity and quality were good! Would love to visit again if I'm in NY.
Great steak and the horseradish was amazing. Not too long of a dinner but could have been. Server was perfect and never was too much. Go here when you can and I return in a few months.
Dined on a Friday night with my friends that I have not seen in years. Jay was AMAZING!!! Super chill, patient and kind. We were there 5½ hours and spent over $400. It was worth it!!! Food was really good! We would come back again. Thanks Jay for making it an awesome reunion for us! You're so fantastic!!!!
We went to the State Grill and Bar as part of our Empire State Building ticket, and what a delicious choice we made. The menu we were able to choose from was deliciously prepared and excellently executed. The steak was perfectly cooked, the oysters were sumptuous, the brussels were perfectly cooked and dessert was divine. The atmosphere was so lovely and the service was expert level. Not to be missed.
I went here for a work event and I have to say the food and service were fabulous. Upon arrival the hostess accompanied me to my area downstairs where I checked in and the server (after being seated) asked what I wanted to drink. The food was delicious.. Salad was fresh the pasta was super good but the desert omg tasty to say the least. The server always had my glass of wine full and offered to put my cake in a to go bin for me.. service was a 10. I would recommend this place. Wish they gave access to the top of the Empire State Building since we dined here lol

Wow... mind blowing dinner. The atmosphere in the restaurant is classic sophisticated. I could imagine Sinatra eating there back in his day. Lighting was dim, but absolutely wonderful. There was wven little lamps on each table that gave off light that had the same brightness as a candlelight dinner.
We ordered the calamari and the texture of it was perfect (not extra chewy like I am used to). The coating on it is even better. Seriously, I would order just a bowl of that and be happy. The peppers were also cooked in the same coating and they gave just a tad bit of heat. So, be careful, you might expect to bite into a peice of calamari, but actually bite a pepper. For dinner I ordered swordfish with the risotto. The risotto was al dente, maybe even a little less than that. I still enjoyed it. The swordfish was incredible, and definitely fresh. The aroma was fresh off the grill. My dinner companion ordered the salmon which was also clearly fresh. Like... "eating next to a river in Alaska" fresh.
For desert, we shared the limoncello and blueberry tart. The tart portion was creamier than any tart I ever had and the blueberry sauce was fermented for a week (I know, sounds like it would be rough... it was not). The blueberries themselves tasted fresh from the farm. For drinks, we ordered Manhattans because... we were in Manhattan. I know, "touristy". You'd be correct. Whatever. It was amazing. Then we had old fashioneds. Super. Nuff said.
The service was extraordinary. When something we ordered was brought to te table, we were given a rundown of what went into each dish. The staff gave a sense of genuine pride in the restaurant and it thriving as a business. Hard not to be extremely impressed by State Grill& Bar
What a lovely place to dine after visiting one of the most famous landmarks in NY. The service was exceptional, food delicious & the atmosphere was perfect. Highly recommend!
Quiet. Beautiful setting. Wonderfully enthusiastic and warm server. The water glasses are gorgeous. The food was excellent. We had the truffle chicken sandwich (done on a brioche bun - the only way to go), pink lentil soup finished with coconut yogurt and mushroom shwarma. We finished with the Brooklyn Blackout Cake which was easily the *best* rendition of a layered chocolate cake we have ever had. Bravo. We are definitely coming back the next time we visit NYC!
Lovely dining on the ground floor of the ESB. The staff are attentive and accommodating and the food is carefully prepared and delicious. We've enjoyed our dining experiences here and highly recommend the calamari appetizer. A window seat is recommended if you want to see better as the lighting is rather dim.
Wasn't expecting much from a place in the Empire State Building (how could it not be a tourist trap?) but was pleasantly surprised. I had a great pitted fruit salad with salmon and a Mermaid pilsner. I even got some work done! The coffee was nothing great. Excellent service, seamless and friendly.
We had a delicious meal after visiting The Empire State Building. Initially we couldn’t find the restaurant and were directed to the Mexican restaurant. We decided to leave as it we were expecting fine dining. We then realised we had been in the wrong restaurant re the Mexican restaurant. The steak we had was delicious and I’ve never had calamari taste as good. We are visiting from the UK and have family in the USA. I will highly recommend State restaurant. It’s a lovely restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. The serving staff were very attentive and chatty. It was just the perfect restaurant after a long day. Well Done a lovely restaurant.
I just went for happy hour here as I was shopping in this area. It’s on pricer side but the mushroom kabab was one of the best I had!
