The "congrats" tweets are pouring in to Bay Area restaurants blessed with Michelin stars today, and, one imagines, the champagne and tears are flowing readily. Observe:

Yes!!!! 4 years of Michelin stars!!! Congrats to our wonderful team for keeping it going! Congrats to @thePROGRESS_sf for its first star! — StateBird Provisions (@statebirdsf) October 25, 2016

State Bird Provisions, as the above tweet indicates, earned its second star for decorated chef/owners Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski, who also snagged a first star for their sister restaurant the Progress. Eater had the early word on Mister Jiu's first star and Lazy Bear's second. Those two are particularly unusual in that Brandow Jew's new school Chinatown restaurant has only been open since April, and Lazy Bear, David Barzelay's Mission restaurant with its communal tables and dinner party vibe is a far cry from the usual Michelin script.

Two stars from @michelininspectors!!! Congrats to the whole team! A photo posted by Lazy Bear (@lazybearsf) on Oct 25, 2016 at 10:28am PDT

The full list of winners has just emerged, which includes big news for Quince. The Jackson Square restaurant of Michael and Lindsay Tusk joins a small coterie of three-star restaurants in the area: Benu, the French Laundry, the Restaurant at Meadowood, Manresa, and Saison. There are just over 100 three-star restaurants in the world according to Michelin, and now the Bay Area has six of them, the same number as a little town called New York City.

San Francisco sushi restaurants Ju-ni and Hashiri each earned a star this year, although Kusakabe lost its star. Oakland was essentially overlooked: Commis kept its existing star, but that's it. Farther afield, San Jose portuguese restaurant Adega earned its first star.

The snubbed list, as far as the Chronicle sees it, includes In Situ, Cala, Petit Crenn, and Camino, although In Situ might simply be too new, and chef Corey Lee holds onto his three stars for Benu. Meanwhile, Atelier Crenn and Petit Crenn Chef Dominique Crenn also maintains her two stars, although as Eater points out, no woman chef currently holds three Michelin stars.

Below, the entire list, with new star awardees bolded. Last week we learned of the "Bib Gourmand" winners, a group who were not awarded stars but who were recognized by the Michelin Guide as good value bets.
