Super cute place, outdoor seating available. The food was amazing.. Enjoyed the artichoke dip, lamb lollipops and the pig and fig pizza. Sat at the bar and service was amazing. Really great espresso martini too.

Went here for a first date and we loved the ambience and atmosphere and the decor! The cocktails are very well prepared and well presented, and delicious! The staff are all friendly and sociable and we have already decided to come back again soon! :-)

Very nice space and loved the vibe. The food was visually pretty, but the taste just wasn't fully there with any of the dishes. It wasn't bad at all, it just wasn't great. Flavors not combing as well as I'd hoped and the potato skins specifically were way way too crispy with a burnt flavor and needed a lot more dip. I'd still try it one more time for the atmosphere!

We've been dining at MBG since pre-COVID and have always throughly enjoyed our meal. We appreciate the recent addition of dinner options. Last night I had the short rib risotto...so rich, so savory, so tender. We always order the artichoke hearts. Consistently excellent!

They have pizza dough and pizza crust down to a science. Soft, chewy, crispy. Went there for brunch with 5 others, the food is great. Very cute atmosphere fun date night/brunch/drinks at the bar. Keep up the great work.

Mockingbird continues to deliver top notch food, and fine service. We really enjoyed the deviled eggs again, and the mushroom pizza was delicious, although with most places we ALWAYS order our pizzas crispy/well done to ensure that the crust is crisp and not soggy. Unfortunately the salsiccia pizza was sort of burned on the bottom. Overall an excellent experience.

It's a lovely atmosphere but a small location that can get loud with that live music. Plates are small compared to overall price. It's my second time there and a bit underwhelmed this time around.

Such a cute little place! We went for brunch and the food was delicious but the size of the crostata was itty bitty (barely bigger than my husband's hand). I had the Shakshuka which I would definitely order again (with extra bread), it was spicy but not too much. The Bloody Mary was lackluster but our server great and the manager stopped by to check on us too. I'd love to try the regular menu too.

Came to Mockingbird around 5pm on a Saturday night, good thing because it filled up quick. The ambiance is very unique and it's very comfy and homey. We sat at the bar and were greeted promptly. I had their house draft and it was delicious. My wife and I shared the mac and cheese, a fennel sausage pizza, and the oven roasted Ceasar salad. Everything was so good. We had such a great time and will be back.
