State Bird Provisions was one of the most influential restaurants to open in the last couple of years; in fact, in 2013 it won the James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant in the nation. Chefs from around the country — and the dining public — loved the casual dim sum approach owners Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski employed for their Western-style food. Even today, there’s generally a line of 50 or 60 people waiting to get in before the doors open.
What many people don’t realize is that State Bird was the warm-up act to their larger restaurant, the Progress, which is next door. The Progress embodies their dreams coming to life in the meticulously designed interior and in the food.
The food is served in a six-course fixed-price menu ($65). Diners are given a sheet with about 17 dishes and the table collectively chooses the six they want, which are then served family-style.
It’s a great experience, and one that will no doubt rival State Bird in popularity.
