Super customer service. I accidentally ordered to pick up, but meant to have my ordered delivered. I called the restaurant, my call was answered right away, they were friendly, cancelled my order and I reordered to have it delivered! The order then arrived promptly, and was delicious. Shy Bird is fantastic.

Great atmosphere and kind service. We were all very satisfied with the venue and our time there overall. Although we arrived 10 minutes before our reservation, we were seated right away. Also, throughout our long decision making over the menu, we didn't feel rushed at all by our server. Thank you for your patience! We will be back.

I work in Kendall and go to Shy Bird several times a week. I have never had anything but excellent experiences here, whether it be grabbing a cup of coffee, having breakfast, or getting cocktails with coworkers. The people who work here are friendly and attentive, and the food and coffee are always delicious. Also, I have Celiac disease and their Celiac-safe options are great--I always feel safe eating here. I can't recommend it enough!
