Flask & Beaker, State View Hotel

I have been coming here since the hotel first opened. I love the convenience of the restaurant. The food in general is good, not over the top amazing but solid good.
I do notice there is a lot of garlic and pickled onions on dishes. Personally I love them especially the pickled onion which adds such a nice pop on the breakfast egg ( red and white). The garlicky flavor is not my fav on the rice/pico in the roasted chicken dish. Did make me vampire resistant tonight after the dinner. Ha!

Happy eating.

Trendy and affordable bar with excellent selections and fine bartenders.

A little pricey but very good. Menu ranges from a burger to shrimp and grits or steak. Full bar including nice cocktails like mules and rotating taps with some beers brewed right here at state. There is a cappuccino machine and some flavorings behind the bar so they do coffee drinks as well.

I got the wolf pack burger rare with a side salad, both surprised me. The quality of ingredients is super important when it comes to rare beef and the texture was just butter. Even the salad was really nice with chunks of blue cheese put on top of the dressing. I initially planned on four stars due to price but the food definitely meets expectations for this price, a definite surprise for a hotel restaurant.

The decor is modern and clean, the porch in back has lots of space and a nice view of the forested side of centennial campus. This place has been a very pleasant surprise.
