Vibrant Michelin-starred Californian spot with creative Asian-leaning plates, standout duck and seaweed noodles, excellent cocktails, but inconsistent dishes, small portions, and premium pricing.
The Progress earns its Michelin star through exceptional food quality and strong service knowledge, with signature duck and seaweed noodles drawing loyal repeat visits. However, inconsistent execution across dishes and variable service pacing prevent grade A territory—diners should expect vibrant, creative Californian-fusion dining with occasional rough edges rather than flawless fine dining. The stylish modern setting and welcoming atmosphere make it a worthwhile destination for adventurous eaters comfortable with risk.
One caveat: Portion sizes vary; some sides are notably small for the price
