Everything we had was amazing but the service was even better !! We tried the dates, shrimp tacos, meatballs and spicy chicken sandwich. I would recommend all of these options. We really loved the selection of alcohol, you can get anything your heart desires. We will definitely be back.

We had a terrible experience. Even though the restaurant wasn't busy and there weren't many customers, the server took 30 minutes just to take our order.

Throughout could have been better. Timing of food was perfect but service was delayed. Understood it was a peak day but it was not busy. Tables were held for no shows and people were turned away.

It was a bit of a mixed bag on New Year's Day. The food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were refreshing. However, the service could have been better. There were a few staff members who seemed to be out, which made it a bit challenging to get our attention. Overall, it was still a fun experience, but I think the service could have been improved.

The food was amazing. The ambience was really nice not rushed at all. You went for want of nothing. The wait staff was fantastic and the management was very pleasant. We will eat here again. Well worth every dollar. Extensive Whiskey selections
Opentable Diner
We had a wonderful time. Seated on time and was made comfortable immediately. Drinks and food was delicious.

A great little spot on myrtle. Food was dtla quality. Great for everyone. I wish they had more space. It looks like a bar but top shelf foods made it worth the wait. Try to book reservations as it's busy on Friday nights.

The State is a great place to rest, have a drink, and enjoy a meal smack in the middle of Monrovia historical district. We were there for lunch and were glad we tried it. The place has bar seating by the sidewalk so everything is open. A great way to sit back, have a drink and people watch. We were there for lunch and ordered their Blackberry barbecue burger and the Braised short rib tacos. The burger came several side options, we chose salad. The tacos were street tacos, about 5" wide, no sides. We tried their Belgian Trippel on draft. Everything was delicious. The short ribs were melt-in-your-mouth soft. Very flavorful. The burger had blackberry glazed bacon with some sort of chili pepper mix. Just hot enough to taste it yet you can taste every flavor. The beer was good with a substantial body, excellent brew. We finished out meal with the bread pudding. It came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it is a very different bread pudding than what I expected. Most of the time, bread pudding is more like a bread enveloped with custard. This bread pudding is actually cubes of brioche soaked in a custard/syrup mix. It is heavy than a custard but very, very good. I highly recommend it. The service was very good in front. The kitchen is a little slow so if you are in a hurry, this may no be the best place. Because it is a little slower, it truly provides an environment to enjoy your meal with good company and good drinks. We spent about $60 and I say well worth it. We would come back again, definitely. Final note, were there for their car show and was able to park nearby. Based on what I can see, there should be plenty of parking in front of the restaurant or very nearby.

Cute restaurant/bar located in downtown Monrovia! We were really excited to try this new spot on Myrtle. The bar looks really cool and the open indoor/outdoor space looks very trendy.
The food was okay, a bit on the heavy side. We came here with another couple and shared a few things. The service was good and we will probably come back for another date night.
Met some old friends there at The State Restaurant. It was just lovely. Great Food, Great Service, and they truly allowed us to take our time. It was the Perfect Dinner Evening.

Walked in on #whiskeywednesday and tried their Japanese whiskey cocktails. Also had The State burger(vegan) on the menu and enjoyed the ambience with chill 80's rock in the background. The staff is awesome, friendly and courteous service. Cheers!

Was greeted and seated fast! Very small restaurant than the other States, but warm and friendly! Excellent food and drinks. Great service. Timed it with the street fair and had a good walk after in downtown Monrovia.
