Jessica Chow: THIS PLACE. Anything as simple as a salmon avocado roll is incredible. The ocean trout sashimi melts in your mouth, the seared hamachi maki is extremely flavorful, and the saba oshi-zushi is a must.
Sibylle Bernard-Stoecklin: Teriyaki bento & sushis are gorgeous!
Nash Overstreet: Get the Omakase.

Ben Huff: The interior looks like your crazy Uncle Eddy's basement but the food is like he somehow married Rachel Ray. The trout and fried chicken 👌🏼
Jake Smith: The BBQ Spaghetti is fantastic; huge hunks of brisket with a bit of a kick. The amazing garlic bread is the icing on this savory cake.
Eater: State Park features amusements like tabletop shuffleboard, a small menu of reasonably priced Southern snacks and light bites, and a beverage program that includes pitchers of cocktails.

Janice Saez: Brought out of towners for local seafood... "Coastal" theme but, king crab? Sea bass? Caviar? Trout? "Whitefish"? I assumed they were laughing at me for recommending but, they're laughing at you.
Jeff Byrnes: Octopus meatballs, funky wine, sherries, absinthe! Amazing stuff.
Rheya Shano: Really really great! Cool ambiance, great service, and terrific food, all of the dishes we tried were great examples of creative combinations that work out beautifully!

Vance: The crab cake is delicious and the pappardelle pasta with braised lamb shank is the best entree on the menu.
AskMen: Why? Get it? It's a new bar? Ah, never mind. Gone is the outdated style of the old space, the hotel has been there since the 1920s, & in its place they've built the type of sleek dining room & lounge Read more.

Bill H: Great cocktail: Burnt Cherry Wood Old Fashioned (house blend of bourbons, charred cherry and orange, Demerara sugar).
Tiffany Lopinsky: Delicious hot dogs on the late night menu!
Bhavin Gandhi: The website home page says "meet the sustainable future of food". I wonder how? i.e. if you are serving meat of any kind.
