I have never been to one of their locations but it looked promising.
The State burger came out exactly as ordered, very happy to get a grilled bun too. I was able to get a side salad instead of french fries which was really amazing. The decor is modern, and whole experience was great overall. We both decided we would return again as there were other menu items we wanted to try.

The Drunken Pig is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. You won’t regret it. Nice spot in downtown Monrovia. Everything looked great, but this burger was very memorable.

First time visit, atmosphere is pretty nice, they know what they’re doing when it comes to cocktails & food is great- meatballs were so good! (As well as the creme brûlée) – there is room for improvement on their “state salad”, but besides that everything else was fine.
Staff are super nice

The food was delicious! Portion sizes were generous. Everything beautifully plated. My only drawback was we ordered the burger medium well, and it was full on pink in the middle.

The State is a great place to rest, have a drink, and enjoy a meal smack in the middle of Monrovia historical district. We were there for lunch and were glad we tried it.
The place has bar seating by the sidewalk so everything is open. A great way to sit back, have a drink and people watch.
We were there for lunch and ordered their Blackberry barbecue burger and the Braised short rib tacos. The burger came several side options, we chose salad. The tacos were street tacos, about 5″ wide, no sides. We tried their Belgian Trippel on draft. Everything was delicious. The short ribs were melt-in-your-mouth soft. Very flavorful. The burger had blackberry glazed bacon with some sort of chili pepper mix. Just hot enough to taste it yet you can taste every flavor. The beer was good with a substantial body, excellent brew. We finished out meal with the bread pudding. It came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it is a very different bread pudding than what I expected. Most of the time, bread pudding is more like a bread enveloped with custard. This bread pudding is actually cubes of brioche soaked in a custard/syrup mix. It is heavy than a custard but very, very good. I highly recommend it.
The service was very good in front. The kitchen is a little slow so if you are in a hurry, this may no be the best place. Because it is a little slower, it truly provides an environment to enjoy your meal with good company and good drinks. We spent about $60 and I say well worth it. We would come back again, definitely.
Final note, were there for their car show and was able to park nearby. Based on what I can see, there should be plenty of parking in front of the restaurant or very nearby.

If you’re serious about dining here and don’t want to wait for a phantom open table, make sure you make reservations online first, even a few minutes before you walk into The State, as they honor those over people waiting in person. We waited 20 minutes for a table of four without a reservation, while they had three 4-top tables available inside reserved for those with online reservations (those people never materialized during our entire dining visit). They also seated us at the table closest to the door, so we got the cold air every time someone came in and every time a server went outside to serve the patio.
We haven’t dined at The State since the change from their predecessor, so we ordered a spread of appetizers and entrees and desserts to try it all! Unfortunately, everything was pretty salty: the poutine ($16), the deep fried oysters ($20 for 4 pieces), bruschetta ($10 for 4 pieces), double smash burger ($17 plus extra $1 for fries side), and mamma’s meatballs ($16). The two chicken items we had weren’t as seasoned (pesto chicken sandwich $16 and veloute chicken $24), so given the choice, might be better to order the chicken dishes instead of the others. We also felt very jipped with the meatballs dish as it only came with four meatballs, two piece of bread, and a whole lot of sauce for $16. Given how salty the dish was, some more bread would’ve been nice to soak up the sauce and balance out the meatballs.
The star of the night were the desserts. The crème brulee ($10) and bread pudding ($10) were the best things we had all night, though we noticed that the caramelized top of the crème brulee was really thick, so half the group skipped that to save their teeth. We’ve also never had bread pudding served cubed before, but it paired well with the scoop of vanilla ice cream included with the dessert.
Service was okay. They were friendly when engaged, but pretty hard to get their attention if you needed something. They weren’t super busy either, yet we had to always flag someone down to refill our empty drinks (we downed a lot because everything was salty).
Because this is Old Town Monrovia, plenty of parking lots and street parking to go with, even if it’s Friday night with the street fair going on.

What a find! We had a lovely dinner. The staff had excellent service and the food was good. As you can see the 2 individual salads are enough for 2.

Pretty solid menu. It’s modern American. They have extensive whisky selection. There’s Whisky Wednesday special for those who enjoy their whiskey. I’m more of a wine gal.
The State is relatively new in the Monrovia area. Service was pretty decent, given there was only one waiter. Food wise, it’s pretty tasty. I got the cesear salad w shrimp. It came with a lot of dressing. All the dressing was very off-putting. I should have asked for it on the side, my error. The shrimp was nicely seasoned. It was quite garlicky and on the smaller side. The
waiter kindly gave me advance notice on the shrimp size. I would come back to dine again.

Excellent food and service! Drinks were also really good. The establishment itself is decorated really well and looks higher end. My only small complaint is the waitress didn’t bus or table. But they are new and that won’t stop us from going back.
