The Verdict
THE PROGRESS holds a Michelin star on Fillmore Street in the Western Addition as Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski's communal dining companion to the one-star State Bird Provisions. The large-format sharing menus whose specific compositions communicate the Brioza-Krasinski culinary intelligence applied to the communal dining format; the seasonal California ingredient sourcing whose quality communicates the same direct farmer engagement that defines State Bird Provisions applied to the larger sharing format; and the Fillmore Street setting whose Western Addition neighbourhood character communicates the most vibrant available San Francisco culinary corridor.
The communal sharing menu at The Progress reflects the Brioza-Krasinski philosophy applied through the large-format communal dining experience: the sharing preparations whose compositions communicate genuine creative intelligence applied to the communal format; the California seasonal sourcing whose quality communicates direct farmer relationships; and the Fillmore Street setting whose Brioza-Krasinski neighbourhood identity amplifies the communal dining experience with the specific Western Addition energy that the husband-and-wife culinary team has made their own.
One Michelin star on Fillmore Street for the communal dining companion to State Bird Provisions - communicating that the Brioza-Krasinski culinary intelligence applied to the large-format sharing menu produces a genuinely distinct and genuinely accomplished available dining experience from the dim sum cart format of the neighbouring starred restaurant.
