Best Californian Restaurants in San Bruno

My wife and I recently took my sister and her husband, who were visiting from Charlotte, to State Bird Provisions, and it was nothing short of amazing. The food was absolutely exceptional—each dish was a perfect blend of creativity and flavor. My sister and her husband couldn’t stop raving about how unique the food was, especially the bold use of spices. It was a hit with all of us! The ambiance was also fantastic. The space has a warm and inviting vibe that strikes the perfect balance between trendy and comfortable, making it a great spot for both special occasions and casual nights out. What truly elevated our experience, though, was our waiter. He was excellent—extremely friendly, attentive, and impressively knowledgeable about the menu. He had such a genuine enthusiasm for the food and shared thoughtful recommendations, which we greatly appreciated. At one point, we mentioned we’d heard Ryan Gosling had dined here, and he surprised us by saying he’d actually been Ryan’s waiter! He even told us about the time Ryan came in with Eva Mendes and their two kids. Such a cool story to hear directly from someone who was part of it! State Bird Provisions delivered on every level: amazing food, great atmosphere, and top-notch service. My sister and her husband loved it as much as we did. We’ll definitely be back and can’t recommend it highly enough!

 Went for lunch which was excellent.  I ordered the warm spinach salad with chicken and my friend had spaghetti and meatballs. Both were very good. We also had very attentive service. Will definitely be going back to this restaurant.

It is a nice place for Vegan food. The service was excellent!

This whole experience was amazing! Our waitress that just moved to the Bay from AZ, completely stunning and so amazing while taking care of your table. I will for sure be back. If you happen to see this note, please share my message to the young lady. 

The staff is always attentive and buffet is one of the best for a hotel.
