We've been going to the Statehouse for drinks and dinner much more than I'd like to admit. The location is amazing, the price is right, and it's free of the loud undergrads. We really like that you can hold a conversation across a table of 6-10 people without having to fight with loud music and guests. It did have a very rough start (see my previous reviews) but has steadily improved since then. The food and drinks are on point and the staff is extremely friendly. They are constantly bringing out new menu items which is exciting and some of the new talent they've acquired in the kitchen and bar area has really paid off.
Also, a huge plus that we just found out about is that they do validate parking. It makes the Statehouse an easy decision when we're taking a car downtown instead of Uber.
