- MCMike CNov 11, 20253.0My wife and I went for dinner and were disappointed with the new menu. State and Main used to be one of our favourite restaurants especially because they had several gluten free options like Pacific Rim Bowl which was our favourite & original Cobb Salad. Now these items have been discontinued (pacific rim bowl) or altered (Cobb) as well as a few others. The service & attention to food allergies was excellent but the new menu made it tougher to navigate for GF sensitivities. Overall, the former menu had more of what we liked & would like to see it back.
- RRRebekah RoyNov 8, 20254.0Food was tasty, just wish the potatoes and veg were separated and not piled on top of each other with the main dish.
- ABAllison ByersNov 7, 20255.0We went for dinner November 7th, myself, husband, and 11 year old. Immediately walking in the host station was very pleasant. We were sat quickly and wait staff were beyond friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was very busy but our food was served quickly, hot , and delicious! Thank you so much Mal
- DHDee HaiderNov 1, 20255.0State and Main has become our absolute favorite spot, and for good reason. We’ve been here numerous times, and the experience is consistently outstanding. But what truly made this place special to us was hosting our wedding reception here, it was perfect in every way. From the planning stages, Grant was incredibly helpful in getting everything organized and ensuring our vision came to life. On the big day, Mike and his team executed flawlessly. Every detail was handled with care, and our guests are still raving about the food and atmosphere. Whether we’re here for a casual dinner or a special occasion, we’re always treated like VIPs. The food is consistently amazing, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance, upscale yet cozy/welcoming. The service is top-notch every single visit. State and Main will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we’ll continue to be regulars for years to come. If you’re looking for exceptional food, fantastic ambiance, and a team that truly cares about their guests, this is the place. Highly recommend for any occasion, from date nights, causal time with friends/family to life’s biggest celebrations!
- AWAriane WagnerNov 1, 20251.0Very disappointed for our first visit. I ordered the 6oz sirloin, ordered it medium rare. The asparagus was cold, the steak was raw and the plate was overloaded with mashed potatoes. David our server was great and he did adjust our bill. Maybe a burger could have been a better choice.
