The Short Order

Situated on Sandoval Street, catty-corner from Talin Market, State Capital Kitchen offers “artisanal American dim sum,” along with an innovative menu of small plates, entrees, and desserts. This fun establishment adds a much-needed and surprisingly unpretentious burst of creative energy to the city’s fine-dining scene. Recommended: Pork tenderloin, mussels persillade, Wagyu strip loin, chocolate bombe, cheese plate.
