    This was a nice end to a crazy week. I love the coziness of the restaurant. It was the best of all worlds...Karaoke, happy hour, televised college football, and a live band and dancing. The patrons were so interactive. I felt right at home. This is my hubby and I new date night spot.

    Incredible Cajun and neo-Cajun and Creole food. Best Louisiana cuisine outside of Louisiana. The honey butter cornbread and oysters are a must. Our waiter, Rocco, was outstanding. Valet parking and secured parking with validation is available. Don’t use Buffalo Speedway to enter the garage. Enter from Richmond (eastbound) instead.

    We had dinner for three in their private dining room - great ambiance, lower noise level. Two dozen east coast oysters were delightful, served ice cold, opened to perfection, with delicious condiments - as always at State of Grace. Being regulars at SOG, we ordered our usual - Caesar salad, blackened redfish, Cacio et pepe pasta, and topped it off with their chocolate pecan ball. All were delightful, which, along with the normal friendly, efficient serving staff and attentive management team, keep us coming back again and again. Keep up the great work SOG team!

    Everything was good. The only issue was the waiter who seemed to be forgetting to bring our orders until we had to remind him many times that I ordered a long time ago
