"Overhanging gilded light pieces, marble counters and dark leather greet you at this unapologetically sexy River Oaks restaurant. Whether the night calls for a dry-aged strip steak, chilled lobster, roasted scallops, or a sophisticated plate of pasta, State of Grace has it all. If the dining room is full (seriously, make reservations), ask to be seated in the side room. The circular oyster bar is ideal for intimate conversations." - Brittany Britto Garley, Nadia Gire
