I migliori ristoranti di cucina sudamericana moderna a Westchase

Such a nice ambiance for a holiday dinner. Great menu, helpful staff, delicious bar.

I recently visited State of Grace for a Christmas date with my husband, and while I had high hopes for the evening, the experience was a bit underwhelming. We ordered 1/2 dozen raw oysters and Oyster Bienville to start, followed by two spritz cocktails and the Bistecca alla Fiorentina as our main course. While the service was attentive and the ambiance was inviting, the food itself left much to be desired. The oysters were fresh, and the Bistecca alla Fiorentina didn’t live up to expectations, especially considering the hefty $370 bill. Having traveled to Florence, we’ve enjoyed authentic Bistecca alla Fiorentina at Trattoria ZaZa and Buca Mario. The portions there were much larger, unbelievably flavorful, and cost around 70 euros—an experience we still miss to this day. Hoping to relive that memory, we decided to give State of Grace’s version a try, even at $225. Unfortunately, it fell far short of the real thing. Overall, while the service and atmosphere were enjoyable, the food fell short, making it hard to justify the cost. I wouldn’t recommend it for the price point, but it might be worth a try if ambiance and service are your priorities.

I had the shrimp etouffee, excellently seasoned with both fried and stewed shrimp. So good.

Venue was nice! Ambiance was great! energetic performers! The waitress was very attentive and hosted well. Food was on time and was great! We enjoyed the salad and Boudain egg roll . The DJ played non stop until the band started performing. What a performance from the singers! The manager came by and greeted guests, it was nice to see that. Overall a great venue for a night out.

Loved the restaurant. Service and food were exceptional.
