    Really loved the different approach to Houston Fine Food. We’re not fans of all the rich sauces that Houston tends to thrive on and smother the key ingredients with - TMC focuses more on accentuating the core flavors, which we really liked, a lot!

    Thanksgiving dinner for 4. started with 3 different salads, all excellent. 2 steaks, 2 chilean sea bass. Fish was perfect. steaks came out well done. Hey, it happens sometimes. The server, manager and chef were quick to correct. Fresh steaks came out perfect and piping hot. manager offered free whatever-we-wanted sides and dessert. They offered more than we could possibly eat! Extremely professional and an absolutely lovely dinner. I'll definitely be returning!

    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!

    A neighborhood gem. My 2nd, my husband's 1st visit. It was lunch on a Tuesday. It was busy. Our waiter, Megan, was very nice and attentive. She made great recommendations. The devil eggs and crab dip appetizers were both on point. My husband had spaghetti. He loved it! I had the lobster roll. It was ok. The serving size was good, but it could use a bit more flavor, so I added some of the crab dip to it. Michael, the GM, was nice as well. Love the weekday happy hour. I'll certainly be back to experience more menu items.
