State & Main Kitchen & Bar

I didn't expect much from this place when I first went for a work function, assuming it would just be typical pub food. I was pleasantly surprised! They had SO many vegetarian/vegan options. Most places will not replace the meat portion with anything but they give you the option of soy chicken. Impressed. Will definitely go back.

Very nice, kind, and helpful server!

We must have picked some of the poorer items on the menu. We literally didn't enjoy anything we ate or drank when we were there except the couscous. However- the next day - the Pacific Rim Bowl we had dramatically improved after we ate the leftovers. The salmon burger was a disappointment - too thick chunks of avocado - not much overall flavour to the sandwich, just bitterness. Nice bun though! The lemonade had absolutely no sweetness to it. The French Onion soup tasted burnt.

According to the server, their beef burger is their most popular item under sandwiches, their fish tacos under a different category, and the Pacific Rim Bowl under another.

My husband and I had dinner here tonight and it was fabulous! Everything was perfect! Although it was crowded, we were able to enjoy our conversation without noisy distraction or having to yell. Our server, Sarah, was delightful. The food was absolutely delicious. Well made, perfectly portioned and way better than I was expecting. I can't wait to go back to try something different! Everything on the menu looked great. I had the French Dip - quite possibly the best steak sandwich ever. So tender it was incredible. My husband had the Main State (10oz steak) medium rare, and he said it was better than Prime Rib. We both really enjoyed ourselves, and will definitely return.

The food is always fresh and delicious here. The butternut squash soup is absolutely amazing. I've had the fish tacos and the salmon burger, both highly recommended. The atmosphere is classy but casual and service is always quick and mostly friendly. Very busy on weekends, but the wait is never too bad. All in all this place is a staple for date night and special occasions!
