Don't order, just take the dishes offered to you until you're satiated. Also, here's a photo of the olive oil ice cream with rhubarb…

You can't miss with the fish. Stuart, Katie and team do wonders with red trout.

Creative and good food.. but not worth the hype for me! There's more way better in SF!

All but one table is reservation only. Book Early! Ps no bar area but fat angel and social study are nearby

Not worth the wait or the price. Half the dishes were great but other half were mediocre. They did have an excellent sparkling rose which was poured at the table out of a magnum bottle.

Some great dishes, some ok ones. It didn't live up to the hype but does have some tasty food.
Steve RenakerMay 11, 2012
Great stuff up and down the menu, but the State Bird (quail) was the best.

The service was really good but the food was mediocre. Nothing we ordered was that great, we ended up not finishing more than one dish. I’m not going back.

The Sourdough and Sauerkraut Pancakes at State Bird Provisions
Chris H.March 19, 2016
Of the maybe ten dishes I tried, all were forgettable. Not worth the hype or the two month reservation at all.

Ordering off the various carts is the key!

Go late if no reservation. Wont have so much wait!
AdamJuly 22, 2013
not dimsum as listed. "american" food in dimsum portions. basically american tapas. resos required, have to go a while in advance.
joanneSeptember 3, 2014
expect a wait, even with reservations. and then expect insanely territorial fellow diners.

Just eat all the things. So amazing!

Show up an half an hour to an hour before opening. Half of the place is reserved for walk ins. No res necessary!
Beau SmithFebruary 10, 2012
Request the server choose desserts for you; yes, more than one.
ginny hFebruary 23, 2019
Food was fine nothing exceptional. Poorly executed dim sum logistics where the back rarely got any dishes coming around. Loud acoustics.
Beau SmithFebruary 10, 2012
Slip the food runner a $20 and you'll eat very well.
Akaash AchrejaMay 19, 2013
Just... Yes. Yes to all of the things. ALL OF THE THINGS.

CLOSED (maybe just for renovations). Check before heading over.

Food was interesting, but was a little disappointing for the price. Place seemed overhyped.
