    We sat waiting at our table for over 15 min without anyone taking our drink order or even acknowledging that they'd be with us shortly. We left. Not willing to spend our money at a restaurant with this kind of service. Very disappointed as we were celebrating our anniversary which was noted on our reservation.

    Service was great. I ordered the cob salad, overall good but the chicken was a bit mushy texture. Grilled chicken would have been better. It tasted a bit like chunks of deli cjiekn or pressed chicken. However, the portion size was very good, and the rest of the topping fresh.

    We weren't as happy as we have been in the past. There was no bar staff, so servers had to serve tables, make drinks, and girl even laughed that she had to make the food too. It's not her fault for slow service as that falls on management. We will go back again in the future and hope that they have full staff.

    I would have given a 5 star however the room temperature was too cold. Fries were cold when they arrived and mash potatoes and rest of food was just warm even though we waited a while for our meal.

    I reserved a table. Didn’t like that it was near the bathrooms. Didn’t bother asking to be moved. Good service. Apps & drinks arrived pretty quickly. Mine tasted too watered down. Food was tasty. We asked for Spanish coffee. It arrived with no whip cream because they didn’t have any???? Seemed odd. Everything was acceptable but just not over the top.

    Overall the food was good but the fried Kalamari was not that great … you can tell the oil they used was previously used to fry onion rings. I could be wrong but the taste was onion. Overall the food was great …. And the ambiance was good.

    We had an enjoyable time and would probably go back. We sat on the patio (our choice) which overlooks the Mall parking lot, so that didn't really add to the ambiance. Also, as happens a lot with outdoor dining these days, we were bothered by wasps (not sure what the restaurant could have done differently under the circumstances). The food was very good but the presentation was a little bland. The steak was nicely cooked and quite tasty, but the lump of mashed potatoes and four asparagus spears left a little to be desired. The restaurant missed out on a couple of SMALL things. Firstly, it was my birthday - this was noted in our Open Table booking and when we met the hostess, but no further acknowledgement other than a brief "Happy Birthday". Secondly, as seems to happen at more and more restaurants, we were not offered bread or rolls to munch on while awaiting our food.

    Had dinner Thursday night and ordered a bottle of wine as bottles are half price on Thursdays. We debated between 2 different bottles with our server before deciding. On our receipt, the wine charge was not reflected at 50% off. When we inquired, it was explained that only “some bottles” are half off, while others are only 25% off. We felt that that should have been explained to us, and at the very least clearly stated on the wine list which bottles do/don’t apply to the Thursday half price promo. For dinner, I had the Tuna Poke Bowl. It was bland, had so much rice, and a very small amount of tuna. My friend’s glazed chicken was just ok…small portion of chicken, which also seemed processed. Other than not being told about our wine not being half off, our server was attentive and didn’t rush us.

    Food was the only issue for us. Ordered 3 entrees to share. Jalapeño mac n’ cheese was cold on first bite, calamari was very chewy, spicy tai lettuce wraps were mediocre. Booze was good. So we’re the employees and management, very professional and understanding. But It if looking for that value of meal, I’d go elsewhere.

    We had a great dinner before our movie at State & Main Pickering. My wife had the butter chicken bowl and I had the chicken fingers entree. Both meals were prepared very well and very tasty. The service from entry to the restaurant through our meal was excellent and we enjoy ourselves at State & Main. This is our second time coming here this past month or so and we will continue to come back!

    The service and location was great. The food was average. The crusted salmon was dry with no real flavour and the bang bang shrimp could have had more flavour/sauce. It was pretty much breaded shrimp with a drizzle of something. Both my dishes needed more flavour.

    The State & Main spin on cocktails - perfection! The food was nicely presented and delicious. Not sure what Magic went into creating those brussel sprouts appetizer but keep doing it! The patio was just perfect for a hot summer evening and the staff was attentive and fast. Will definitely return!
