The sister bistro of State Bird Provisions seems laid-back – the wabi-sabi wooden decor resembles a weatherbeaten boat and Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski's Pacific coastal menu is quintessentially Californian. But surf-meets-turf fare reveals James Beard Award–winning flair – sustainable California sturgeon caviar drifts across potato clouds, while briny Manila clams and earthy roast maitake mushrooms bond over squash soup dumplings. Dessert is an afterthought; enjoy more vegetables.
