Best Seasonal Restaurants in Southwest

We loved the appetizers, the quality of the Wagyu was unbelievable, and it is definitely a special place. The price point is recent for the quality and uniqueness

I recently visited State of Grace for a Christmas date with my husband, and while I had high hopes for the evening, the experience was a bit underwhelming. We ordered 1/2 dozen raw oysters and Oyster Bienville to start, followed by two spritz cocktails and the Bistecca alla Fiorentina as our main course. While the service was attentive and the ambiance was inviting, the food itself left much to be desired. The oysters were fresh, and the Bistecca alla Fiorentina didn’t live up to expectations, especially considering the hefty $370 bill. Having traveled to Florence, we’ve enjoyed authentic Bistecca alla Fiorentina at Trattoria ZaZa and Buca Mario. The portions there were much larger, unbelievably flavorful, and cost around 70 euros—an experience we still miss to this day. Hoping to relive that memory, we decided to give State of Grace’s version a try, even at $225. Unfortunately, it fell far short of the real thing. Overall, while the service and atmosphere were enjoyable, the food fell short, making it hard to justify the cost. I wouldn’t recommend it for the price point, but it might be worth a try if ambiance and service are your priorities.

Great experience. Food was wonderful. Breakfast buffet a bargain.

Dinner was amazing! Food was perfect! Could’ve used more booths though. Too many tables.

Awesome service. I love this place. That had a great deal going on. 4 full-size plates for $28. Food was amazing and fresh. They definitely are keeping Covid in mind while dining.
