Restaurants near Church of St John Coltrane

This was the best meal I have had in a while! Inventive dishes with great flavor, yet very accessible and well priced for the quality. It was fun to have smaller tapas plates to share and be able to try more delicious dishes!

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!

Ambience: Excellent, energetic, present, engaging. This is what an exceptional experience feels like. Thanks to everyone at The Progress.

Food was delicious -- can't beat the Anchovy Toast. Rose champagne was a great complement to the food. We sat outside, and the restaurant has a new completely covered outdoor parklet, and nice warm fire heaters -- really pleasant seating area. All staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back.

Solid food and been here a few times. Got there during brunch and highly recommend the Chicken Thighs.
