Summary: New American eats, served dim sum-style.

Nestled in a lively urban-rustic space, State Bird Provisions redefines dining with its New American dim sum-style service, offering a weekly-changing menu of creative small plates like their signature crispy quail.

A separate toast and pancake menu, along with a curated list of craft beers and ciders, completes the experience. This San Francisco hotspot has become a culinary sensation, known for its dynamic approach to dining and a menu that features seasonal ingredients in dishes like pan-seared guinea hen dumplings and jerk octopus.
