About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Fancy
Great for creative cocktails

State of Grace is a coastal, South Texas neighborhood restaurant in the refurbished Lamar-River Oaks Shopping Center. Elegant but casual, its elevated comfort food by executive chef Bobby Matos is executed at the highest level in a welcoming, beautiful space. The jubilant medley of old favorites played with new spice, accent, and freshness lends itself to southern, American, Latin, Gulf Coast, German and Asian influences. Chef-owner Ford Fry’s first venture outside of Atlanta, State of Grace is located in the neighborhood where Ford grew up and nods to his childhood memories fused with Houston’s evolution into a melting pot of cultures and cuisines.

There were three miscues between kitchen and wait staff on our dinner. Appetizers came with entrees and entree came as appetizer. Entrees were lukewarm. They recognized the mistakes and comped two of the ordered items and desserts. Expect better.

This is my favorite restaurant—we live in Chicago where the restaurants are outstanding, but everytime we visit family in Houston I HAVE to come here. Everyone knows this is my happy place. The wonderful service, gorgeous ambiance, superb food and the sweet little take home cookies after every dinner just fill me with happiness. Please open a restaurant in Chicago 🙏

The change in menu was a surprise and when you have been open for 9 years…it was good but the menu needs to add back some of the house favorites back.
