The wait to get a reservation at this informal but notable restaurant is no joke (tip: keep the size of your party small). No reservation? It's worth joining the line of hopeful walk-ins lined up before it opens at 5.30pm because the cooking here shows so much heart (and talent). Chef-owners Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski have created their own style of California cuisine, with the kitchen acting like a culinary workshop. An ever-changing line-up of dishes is presented to guests on trays and dim sum-style carts – it's like the appetiser spread of your dreams. The pancake with smoked sturgeon, spicy kimchi yuba, duck liver mousse with almond biscuits, and the namesake fried state bird (quail) will make you sorry when the eating extravaganza winds to an end.
