State of Grace sits on Westheimer Road in River Oaks, part of Rocket Farm Restaurants. The restaurant frames itself around nostalgia — childhood summers near the Gulf, backyard suppers, an easier version of Houston — and that shows up in a menu leaning on Southern and coastal comfort food.
The kitchen turns out hush puppies, oysters, grilled octopus, blue crab, redfish, burrata, collard greens, cheese enchiladas, fries, and a filet, with a black rice side that comes up often. Weekend brunch draws its own crowd, and the oyster happy hour has become a draw in its own right. For guests who want the kitchen to choose, State of Grace also offers a seven-course tasting menu most nights.
Regulars point to the room's polish and the consistency of service as reasons it works as a special-occasion pick.
