We went for their Valentine's day menu. It was a great experience. Food was wonderful. The decor was sweet. They even gave is a little gift bag with a small bottle of champagne, a little bread and a hand written letter. We were very happy with our dinner and experience

Great dining experience. Stopped in for an early dinner before going to the top of the Empire State Building. Everything was perfect (food quality, atmosphere, etc.) but an especial shout out to the staff. Every person with whom we interacted was super nice without being obsequious. Highly recommend.

This was our second visit to the State Grill and Bar, and it was just as good the second time around. We had the same waiter that we had on our first visit in April 2024, which was fun. Of course, we had steak dinners which were great. My steak was properly cooked to medium-well (hint of pink in the center), and the double-baked potato was awesome! My boyfriend was sad that he'd not ordered one too. Great drinks, great food, great service. Definitely worth the price. What more can one ask for in a restaurant!
