We were there for a journal club and we wanted to sit in a big table, to talk about different educational matters, however they have given us two separate tables. We couldn’t even hear each other. We had to wait for them to rearrange the tables.Anyway, the atmosphere was good and staff were nice. I had lamb steak and it was delicious. ??
Manage your expectations when dining at Bird Dog the photos online show amazingly shot dishes and fun décor with southern charm. Going with the least expensive Chicken Dinner Menu it is hard to get out of there for less than $75 per person especially since most appetizers had supplemental charges. So let’s get to the food, the appetizers we had were good but not of a Southern origin. The Chicken while well-cooked lacked full flavor in the batter and was not much better than Popeye’s and for $16 at Lucky Louie’s next door you will find far better fried chicken. The picture of the Mac & Cheese is voluptuous with crusty cheese creation what we got was a pasta shells in a soupy cheese sauce and mushy bread crumbs (I have pictures). Friendly good service but the Management wants to charge you for the Daniel Boulud Bistro experience while serving you subpar Southern food on rickety chairs and tables.
Super small portions, zero creativity, it was a really average and overpriced experience. Food was also cold
Excellent food and wine & cocktails. The restaurant offers a few gluten-free dishes. Service pays a great attention and is friendly. The AC was a bit too cold.
For me, hugely disappointing. For my colleague ‘just really bad’. First, the highlights: The service is excellent, chic aesthetic, and truly phenomenal cocktails. The food menu though is a mess. There is no narrative - dishes make no sense in sequence. Everything is well cooked and the flavors are bold but as dishes they are just bad. The horseradish pile overwhelmed the amberjack. The curry killed the beets. The squash was just bad. The hibiscus dessert was cold. No flavor. Just (inexplicably freezing) cold. We stopped for pizza on the way home.
Exceptional food!! Nice ambience and friendly staff, highly recommended for special occasions and casual dining as well
Good food; great wine list; one dish wasn't correctly prepared (ingredients?); music was very loud creating an incongruously energetic ambience
Exceptional food and great service. Modern, clean decor. Impressive wines. Overall, a great find. Serving size is somewhat small, so the water advised ordering an extra dish per course to share among the 3 of us, which worked well. If you order obvious side dishes like potatoes, ask to have them served with the main course. Food was very creative and perfectly prepared.
Food and service were both excellent.
We had a wonderful exceptional experience. We loved the food and the hospitality. A lot of thought has been put through each dish and every one of them was unique and delicious. Obviously a great night is not all about food only. Marcus was so nice to us and was so attentive and made every effort to make our night more memorable.
