Worth It
Dim sum meets California creativity
State Bird flipped the script on fine dining with its dim sum-style service—carts roll by with creative small plates, and you pick what looks good. The state bird (fried quail on toast) is mandatory, and the menu changes constantly. It's fun, surprising, and delicious. Reservations are tough; try the walk-in sister spot, The Progress.
