The State Room located inside the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center near MSU
This week marks the one year of anniversary of the date I finally grew a pair and asked my girlfriend out. The anniversary is actually Saturday, but we’re going to be in Chicago for a wedding, so there won’t be a chance to have a anniversary dinner out somewhere. Instead, I decided to ask her out to dinner tonight. Our first date was also on a Thursday night (last year, the 9th was on Thursday). That first date was pretty casual at a new spot along the Peoria riverfront. I wanted to do things a little different tonight, so I chose The State Room.
The State Room is located inside the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center on the campus of Michigan State University. There’s no surface parking around the hotel, but there is a parking deck just off the side of the building. The restaurant validates, so there is no charge to park as long as you eat dinner. The parking structure is connected to the hotel by a skywalk which brings you into the conference area. Down the long hallway and past the reception area, the State Room sits on the left side which would be closest to the corner of Michigan and Harrison.
We were met at the door by a Maitre’d who asked if we had reservations. I started sweating a little bit when he asked that. I didn’t figure we’d need a reservation on a Thursday night. I said no and he fiddled around a little bit looking at his table list. He finally showed us to a table near the back of the room sort of near the kitchen and right on the wheelchair ramp that leads to the lower dining room. Read the rest of this entry »
