…..state bird provisions started as a recipe for serving quail, it has slowly evolved into a restaurant without any programmed elements…..
The menu. Plus they brought around a lot of stuff on carts like at dim sum.
smoked trout-allium chip’n’dip. Really good with a ncie smoky flavor.
Oysters with something.
duck liver mousse & almond financiers.
garlic bread burrata & 7 pepper spice. Carb buster, but great. Nice texture.
cucumbers lemon tahini, sumac & feta.
pork belly ‘salad’ grapes & fish sauce vinaigrette. Very viet/thai.
Beef tongue pastrami, arugula, capers, and parmesan. Like a pastrami carpacccio.
1/2 dozen whole shrimp dumplings. aromatic lemongrass broth. Lots of dense shrimp.
red trout toasted hazelnut & mandarin-garum vinaigrette.
butternut squash mochi chanterelle mushrooms & goat cheese fondue. Sweet but great texture.
5 spice lamb noodles, squid, dates & thai basil. Yummy. Sweet and savory.
The squid on the side.
20th Century Cafe Butterscotch pudding, coffee cream, blood orange & pinenuts.
Some really good stuff here — whacky and different — but great flavors and quite unique.
