I recently had the opportunity to dine at the Tavern on State Street and, as an executive chef, I found the experience to be quite disappointing. The focal point of my visit was the $26 burger, which unfortunately did not meet expectations.

Fantastic food and great ambience!
We had the kale salad, a vegetarian gnocchi dish, and the top sirloin. All of these were fantastic! Cocktails were great and very creative as well; i would highly recommend the Exchange Student.

The staff was very accommodating...

Tavern on State is a fine neighborhood restaurant.
Cocktails were a mixed bag (maybe I ordered wrong). The smoked trout was delicious, but the octopus and the beef tartare were a bit bizarre.

The tartare was more additions than beef, and as a result it was missing beef flavor. The whole menu reads...
