STATE Grill and Bar

"Wow - one of the best dinners we had in NYC! We didn't go up to the top of the ESB but the STATE Grill and Bar is not to be passed by! Our server Jantony made our experience all that much more fun and was really great to us throughout the evening. We enjoyed the food, the ambiance, the drinks, and just the overall time we got to spend in such a beautiful spot. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be back next time I'm in the big Apple!"

"I went here for a work event and I have to say the food and service were fabulous. Upon arrival the hostess accompanied me to my area downstairs where I checked in and the server (after being seated) asked what I wanted to drink. The food was delicious.. Salad was fresh the pasta was super good but the desert omg tasty to say the least. The server always had my glass of wine full and offered to put my cake in a to go bin for me.. service was a 10. I would recommend this place. Wish they gave access to the top of the Empire State Building since we dined here lol"

"We went here off reviews and were very disappointed having been looking for a good steakhouse. We ordered our meal. Bubbles came out warm (not chilled). When our steaks arrived (one medium rare one medium well) we got stuck in. We noticed our side hadn’t arrived. The medium well steak was both over cooked (more well done) and the outside was very charred. It didn’t make for a great eating experience. I asked for it to be returned and a new one which they did fairly pronto and was grateful it came out quick. Second time was much better. I’d probably order one rareness lower than I wanted. When we got the bill, the waiter realised we’d still not had our side. Turns out they’d sold out but no one had communicated anything. A shame! Service was very average. Other tables seemed to get waited on more attentively that us. Having eaten in many a restaurant in big cities before I was very disappointed in the experience for our second to last nite in NYC."

"We went to the State Grill and Bar as part of our Empire State Building ticket, and what a delicious choice we made. The menu we were able to choose from was deliciously prepared and excellently executed. The steak was perfectly cooked, the oysters were sumptuous, the brussels were perfectly cooked and dessert was divine. The atmosphere was so lovely and the service was expert level. Not to be missed."

"Dined on a Friday night with my friends that I have not seen in years. Jay was AMAZING!!! Super chill, patient and kind. We were there 5½ hours and spent over $400. It was worth it!!! Food was really good! We would come back again. Thanks Jay for making it an awesome reunion for us! You're so fantastic!!!!"
