    Food was excellent. Staff were friendly and service was great. Just wish the music was slightly quieter to allow for better conversation. Definitely will go back - but with a smaller group next time so we can hear better.

    Great place, great food. The Brussel sprouts are awesome!!! Other entrees I've had have been excellent. The ramen soup was a little boring in flavor and was not spicy at all. But like I said, the food is usually awesome

    We had a fantastic dining experience at State & Main in Guelph! The food was clearly a highlight, with the bang bang shrimp, calamari, fish snd chips and chicken wings all making an appearance. And who can resist a delicious chocolate mousse cake with sparkle for a birthday celebration? Our server gets high marks for being gracious and friendly, which always adds to the experience. The only thing that seemed to dampen things was the dim lighting - it was a bit too dark for me to comfortably read the menu. Considering the candles were for ambiance, maybe next time, we’ll ask for a table with a bit more natural light or request a menu in a larger font. Nonetheless, the food and service made up for it, and I’d definitely recommend the place!
