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.

New menu and upscale ($$$$) dining concept not matched by service and food quality. i much preferred previous format that was one of my dependable "Go To" favorites. Based on last night, no so much any more.

State of Grace provided exceptional service. The servers, Nicolas and Parevaan, were only cheerful and courteuos. All waitstaff encountered, and some form of management or upper oversight which visited the table, treated guests with respect and kindness. The food itself was excellent; a varied taste for food preferences existed at my table of guests, but everyone was pleased with the variety and actual dishes rendered. State of Grace set a new bar for customer service. The restaurant has clearly prioritized curating a quality menu that delivers on the tangible people are coming for---super dishes-- while also clearly training and maintaining high standards for all servers in how to make guests feel heard, welcome, appreciated, and respected. This was restaurant service as good as it gets on planet earth. My party of guests was oozing with "glows" about this restaurant, for which this was a first-time visit for us. Overall, State of Grace made a 110 on a scale of 100 for customer service and fare: well done! I would especially commend the genuine cheerfulness, courtesy, and professionalism of our servers.
