Relic on State Street

Summary:
Food: Exceptional
Service: Good
Atmosphere: Spot-on

Details:

They brought out a nice, warm rosemary bread and butter to start. Crisp on the outside, nice and plush on the inside (not super dense, but the kind that is a little doughy if you squish it 👌🏼)

Steak: I ordered the 8oz filet mignon, cooked medium. It was served with a scoop of rosemary butter which complimented the meat nicely. It was cooked very tenderly and had a nice flavor. This was what I came here for, and was not disappointed. I would get it again!

All sides were ala carte. The serving size was large and shareable for two, which was a nice surprise. Here is what I ordered:

Grilled asparagus: A decent amount of vegetable! Light garlicky flavor, served with a lemon. Tasty and refreshing with a slight crisp.

Truffle fries: Crisp and fresh. (They may be the double fried kind, very crispy but not overdone!) Nicely seasoned, with just the right amount of parmesan.

Brussels Sprouts: I tend to love my sprouts crispy, and these were not, but they had a really nice flavor and still had a char. They were dense but also were not over-saturated with maple which I appreciated. The bacon pieces were done nicely. A little hint of spice as well.

I gave 5 stars but would do a 4.5 if possible. The steak & atmosphere was exceptional, but the service met basic standards. She did her job, so no complaints there other than having to ask for water refills each time. For the price point you'd expect a bit more of a welcoming vibe after the initial order - it seemed like she was friendly in the beginning for the initial order, and then completely disassociated with the table afterwards. Hope she was having an ok day! The bussers and runners were all very friendly and did a great job.

Overall: Great date-night experience. It also looked like there was a great vibe at the bar, and people were super friendly and welcoming when we walked in.

Thank you for a great meal!

We had a 80th birthday party for my parents and searched for a venue or restaurant to accommodate 25 people. Jeremy was great…he took care of all the details after a brief question and answer over the phone. We literally walked in, celebrated, had a great time and he and his staff took care of the rest. The food was really good…the main entrees were great but I was also impressed with the chartcuterie board!! We’re very picky with our meats and cheeses but they were all top quality.

The staff was friendly and very attentive. They also offered numerous times if they could help carrying out leftovers and presents from the party.

Thanks again to everyone that really went above and beyond making this event a day my parents continue to talk about.

Wow talk about amazing! My fiancé went here to celebrate getting married in a year. Everything from the rustic atmosphere, friendly staff to the delicious food! The Lobster Ravioli (pictured) was to die for! The butter for the bread has this great flavor and I couldn’t stop eating it! To top it all off the chocolate torte with raspberry sorbet was the perfect ending! Oh and don’t forget the option of truffle fries (my fav) which were perfection! Go to Relic! You will not regret it! Can’t wait to go back!☺️

My husband, a mutual friend, and I met up with another family, none of the three of us had been to the restaurant before. When you walk in, you are struck by how classic and beautiful the building and dining areas are. The service was quick and friendly, and the food is nothing short of incredible. We had a pear and gorgonzola salad, crab bisque, and burrata board for appetizers, lobster macaroni and cheese, lobster ravioli, and mushroom risotto for entrees, and key lime pie, panna cotta, and crème brulee cheesecake for dessert. We all tried each others’ plates and thought they were all delicious, even my super picky husband. We live close to 2 hours away and are planning our next visit!
