They’re making it in just under the wire as the very last 2011 opener, but State Bird Provisions (1529 Fillmore) will in fact debut on New Year’s Eve as earlier announced. Today we bring you the menu, hot off the presses, from chef Stuart Brioza and pastry chef Nicole Krasinski. Remember, everything is a small plate, basically, served dim-sum-style on a roving cart, and you’ll have a custom-made menu board built in to your table so that you can check off the things you want to try. Already intriguing us are items like chicken ‘salad’ with buddha’s hand and celery root curd; carnitas-stuffed squid; Brioza’s signature fried quail, appearing here with lemon-stewed onions; and, from Krasinski, Meyer lemon chocolate croquettes with Blue Bottle coffee sabayon.
Prices aren’t available at this time, and are likely still being figure out, but below is the preview. We believe reservations may already be gone for opening night, but call 415.795.1272 to see what you can get. Or go to Urban Spoon to start reserving as of Monday, January 2. Tomorrow, we’ll have some pretty picture for you.
