STATE Grill and Bar, an elegant Empire State Building restaurant, is the best place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in Midtown. Classic dishes harken back to the way food used to be prepared – from a modern chef’s point of view. Guests can watch their food being prepared in the open kitchen by our chefs, who are inspired by the Empire State and its bounty of market ingredients, from the Hudson Valley to the North Fork. Echoing the Empire State Building’s striking aesthetics, the interior features a balanced design of art deco and modern architecture.

We made advanced reservations for a group of 48 people from Michigan while touring NYC. This restaurant was a nice find. The food was delicious and was very well presented. I had spare ribs, and a vanilla dessert with a special cookie they made. They put us in a downstairs room which allowed for a quieter, intimate setting and everyone had a good time visiting.

We absolutely loved our experience at State Grill and Bar in New York! The steak was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and simply outstanding. Every dish we tried was delicious, showcasing great attention to detail and quality ingredients. The service was attentive and welcoming, adding to the overall excellent dining experience. Highly recommend this spot for anyone seeking a fantastic meal in the city!

I am an Event Manager for a Life Sciences company based in NJ. I wanted to share a very positive experience I had holding our Clinical Forum business event at the State Bar & Grill restaurant. First, what an iconic location tucked next door to the Empire State Building; a 7 minute walk from Penn Station to boot! Because we were recording the discussion of the meeting the restaurant has the perfect room in the lower level where the walls are electronically powered to open and close and there is a large monitor behind large doors on the wall. This room is like a “transformer” adjusting to our meeting needs on the fly. The privacy factor was perfection. The manager Ricki Stephens was amazing to work with and lighting fast responsive in the planning process. I must mention that Ricki came through in a clutch with an AV recommendation of Kevin Consolo (Consolosound Audio & Video) who was familiar with the room and knew what we technically needed before I asked. Darrin and his entire wait staff team were top level service. The food quality… amazing! I see this meeting space being perfect for a business or a private social gathering. Elegant and accessible for everyone. We will be back to the State Bar and Grill again.

Perfectly fine steak frites and a local IPA for lunch. Friendly and efficient service from the staff. Not particularly busy when I went so the ambience was relaxing and therefore a good place to escape from the heat and hustle outside. Reasonably priced too.

The food, service and atmosphere were all excellent. In fact, I couldn’t have asked for anything more in those three categories. The reason for my 2-star review is because of something that occurred at the tail end of our dinner. On the evening of December 13th, 2025, 6 of us sat down to eat and once we were finished, asked for 3 separate checks. My check covered only myself, and I discovered an added 45% tip which I was told covered the wait staff, bar staff and kitchen crew. I was also told there was nothing that could be done about it and not to tip any more! Seemed a bit extreme to me, but I didn’t want to create a scene in the restaurant and in front of family/friends. I realize this is Manhattan, but my normal 20% tip should be sufficient and had I been dining alone that’s exactly what I would have paid. I later found out that the other two checks were also charged a 45% tip — a bit ridiculous and borderline theft, if you ask me. Thank goodness everything else made for an extremely pleasant night.

Dined on a Friday night with my friends that I have not seen in years. Jay was AMAZING!!! Super chill, patient and kind. We were there 5½ hours and spent over $400. It was worth it!!! Food was really good! We would come back again. Thanks Jay for making it an awesome reunion for us! You’re so fantastic!!!!

Quiet. Beautiful setting. Wonderfully enthusiastic and warm server. The water glasses are gorgeous. The food was excellent. We had the truffle chicken sandwich (done on a brioche bun – the only way to go), pink lentil soup finished with coconut yogurt and mushroom shwarma. We finished with the Brooklyn Blackout Cake which was easily the *best* rendition of a layered chocolate cake we have ever had. Bravo. We are definitely coming back the next time we visit NYC!

We enjoyed our dinner even though we had an issue with our Empire State Building observatory and dinner package which we paid for online. The issue (couldn’t be used on New Year’s Eve!) was taken care of by customer service which we really appreciated. The food and service were great!
