State of Grace is a coastal, South Texas neighborhood restaurant in the refurbished Lamar-River Oaks Shopping Center. Elegant but casual, its elevated comfort food by executive chef Bobby Matos is executed at the highest level in a welcoming, beautiful space. The jubilant medley of old favorites played with new spice, accent, and freshness lends itself to southern, American, Latin, Gulf Coast, German and Asian influences. Chef-owner Ford Fry’s first venture outside of Atlanta, State of Grace is located in the neighborhood where Ford grew up and nods to his childhood memories fused with Houston’s evolution into a melting pot of cultures and cuisines.

The food was a little disappointing for the price point. Our red snapper as a little too seared all around. The true disappointment was the bananas foster. While I clearly saw that they had the setup for flambé table side, we must have gotten the deconstructed version.. dish of vanilla ice cream with cold caramel sauce and a cut up banana on top. I’m not one to pass on dessert but this wasn’t worth any extra calories.

I requested them to make the table look nice for us to suprise my wife and they surely did. They had the staff sign a card, gave us a happy 16th anniversary decorated menu, and a candle to take home. So beautiful and thankful to the staff who did an amazing job. Food was amazing and def recommend the steak tartare that is prepared table side by the chef.

                                                                                Is this helpful?
