Michelin’s inspectors informed this year’s Bay Area star winners yesterday and dropped the full 2014 list later in the afternoon, and there are surprises throughout. The excellent Restaurant at Meadowood and the French Laundry remain the area’s only three-star establishments, while the seven two-star contenders remain mostly unchanged from the previous year’s edition of the guide. In the one-star category, however, there are a few shake-ups: Chef-owner Melissa Perello’s perpetually jammed Frances, which underwent a face-lift this spring, lost its star; Masa’s, which closed this year, is also off; Michael Tusk’s Quince (finally) joined the two-star club. Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski’s generally acclaimed State Bird Provisions, which was last year mysteriously absent from the rankings — “It just didn’t meet our criteria this year,” we were told — has landed its first star. The full list, straight ahead.
