“ Pricey restaurant, but absolutely worth it. The burger is superb, service is excellent and the place looks very good and cute. Ideal for dinner celebrations. Worth the trip there. I suggest you book before you go! ”
“ Came here on a Friday pre summer season. David was our server and was excellent. The menu has a little bit for everyone. We got the oyster sampler (delish), polenta (okay, a bit under seasoned), and chopped salad (fresh, zippy, bitter, wish there was more nuts and blue cheese) to start. For our mains I got the mussels and OMG - best broth I’ve ever had with mussels. My husband got the cod which he loved. Again, David was top notch with his recommendations and menu knowledge. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. ”
“ Tuesday night is burger night so we planned to go here all along! We both ordered Wood Grilled Burger which was wagyu beef, balsamic onions, bacon, cheddar or brie, garlic dill pickles on a potato bun. We shared a side of fries. Everything was tasty and we are glad we added this to our culinary journey of Martha’s Vineyard. ”
“ We finally tried this restaurant and liked it so much that we brought friends back the next week. Sat at the bar the first time and in one of the dining rooms the second. Servers and bartender are top notch. Lovely atmosphere. We really liked the duck but it was off the menu by the second visit. Had the shrimp and polenta appetizer both times, it was fantastic. The seeded focaccia is also a don’t miss treat. We had and highly recommend the cod and the grilled swordfish entrees. ”
“ Definitely make a reservation. Very well crafted space with curtains and hidden lighting. The Hen of the woods with soubise I could eat for hours! Focaccia is good to share and unique. Carrots weren't really developed they're just sorta soft carrots :/ could roast them slower and longer. Panda cup sake was super good like alcohol but smooth coconut water. The lamb had no taste it was like everything else on the plate had a voice but the lamb was just texture with grilledness.. It was expertly cooked though. ”
“ This place could get more stars!! We made State Road our first stop once getting to MV and were fortunate to get a ... ”
“ I had this place on my Cape Cod bucket list specifically because I read somewhere Larry David frequents it (sorry, Larry). Now I know why! It was absolutely delicious and amazing start to finish. The drinks, food, service, ambiance-all perfect! I really appreciated the manager squeezing us in since we did not have reservations (make reservations)! It was my favorite meal on my Cape Cod and Islands adventure! ”
“ Everything about State Road is excellent. From the warm inviting atmosphere, to the friendly and knowledgable wait staff, to the top notch food. We have been here a couple of times and can not say enough good things about our experiences here. We brought a friend to dinner with us last night and every bite of everything we got was so good we kept sharing bites with each other. Reasonably priced for what you get with large portion sizes and nice menu options for everyone. The appetizer plates are generously sized, great for sharing and the wine list has a nice variety of price points. Don't skip dessert, we loved our Olive Oil Cake and the Chocolate Terrine. This is a not to be missed dinning experience. ”
