State & Main has a nice atmosphere and a comfortable, inviting space to enjoy a meal. I had the steak, which was good, and my friend had the salmon and really enjoyed it as well. We also shared the tuna tartare on pressed rice, but unfortunately it didn’t taste fresh and we weren’t able to finish it. The food overall had some hits and misses, and the service wasn’t very attentive, which made the experience a bit disappointing. The setting is still nice, and with improved service, it could be a much better experience.

The food, sauce, dessert and drink was all fabulous and fantastic really enjoyed it it was my husband birthday celebration.
Had my lunch here when it was past lunch time. All I wanted was soup and was disappointed because there was only one type of soup on the menu. So I decided to go with the Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. Really like the combination of veggies and the presentation of the dish. The veggies and the chicken were cooked to just the right doneness! Unfortunately the sauce was a little bit too salty and too much of the sauce made the rice below all soggy.
But I enjoyed the ambiance and the excellent service I received from the servers there.
Worthwhile place to visit again to explore other dishes.

We got seated right away, got our drinks and appetizers waited more than 50 minutes for our main dishes and when it came our food was poorly prepared the server did t come and check on us until she came to pick up the dishes and bring the bill. We asked for dessert menu and coffees she didn't ask or offer. very poorly mangatlocation i don't recommend it for main dish drinks and appetizers only.
We waited for over an hour for our food which never arrived. Understand it was busy but were consistently ignored by our waitress and other wait staff. Would not recommend

Good service and super friendly staff. But please add heat. It was sooooo cold everyone was wearing coats including us. If you can't pay the heating bill at least warn customer to bring a sweater.
Staff is always friendly. Atmosphere is awesome even when busy. Most importantly food is ALWAYS good. Steak always cooked right and nothing ever tastes bad. Love this restaurant.
Very impressed with the quality of food here. Had generous portion of bang bang shrimp for a starter, featuring fat shrimp with a crispy, light batter. The teriyaki bowl was full of tender chicken and mixed vegetables, light on the brown rice, which is the perfect way to make a bowl! My partner was also very happy with the bison burger and large side salad. Hope the other locations have this same winning format!
Our reservation was confirmed and we got our table on the patio. Food & service was great and we all had a great time. The cocktails were also delicious.

Went for a birthday dinner. The steak and burger were tasty. The mashed potatoes tasted like instant from a box and was salty. The gravy was very, very salty and not edible. The fries where edible but also very salty. The waitress was very friendly and did her job well. Didn't wait long at all for a table. Sat at a half booth and the wall was disgusting. It looked like it hadn't had a wipe down in weeks. The atmosphere was ok and the music and noise level was low and was able to carry a conversation no problem.

I haven't had a burger this good in a long time. My fiancé and I loved this place and it's ambiance, we definitely plan to come back soon. Our server, Parker, deserves more than 5 stars. He was everything you want in a server - attentive, polite, fun, and gave great reccomendations when asked! Also worthy to note, the fries were amazing, Caesar salad was made just right, and even something about the burger buns was top-notch. We would highly reccomend!

Despite the restaurant being empty, the food was absolutely poor and the service was inattentive despite our server having one or two other tables. It was really a poor experience.
Update was here in June 2025 and had the appetizer Soup Dumplings which are very filling and tasty. I also had the spiced rum with coke, a very nice drink. I was served by Tyler who was excellent. Really enjoyed my visit. Next time try the bang bang chicken. Their jalapeno mac and cheese is excellent too.
