The service was perfect and the oysters very fresh. The fattoush salad was a bit disappointing. All in all, we really liked it.

We had a fantastic meal and experience at Blue Bird. Very cozy vibe and the food was excellent. We had the mussels, chicken wings, hummus and grain bowl. All delicious!

Andrea

Nice server, good bluefish pate, terrific mussels, burger ok, fries very crispy, we did not like the fatoush salad at all

Lisa

The hummus and burrata appetizes were great. Our entrees were all delicious and if you like oysters, go befire 5pm for $1 each deal.

Elaine

Always great food and friendly, efficient service. Love this place. Casual, fun atmosphere.

Oysters were very good. Also the fries and baba ganoush were excellent. But the skewers of meat/fish ranged from OK to not particularly good (e.g. the lamb, (which is a lamb sausage of some kind, not chunks of lamp).. There must have been a problem in the kitchen, cause there was about a 45 min. wait from the time we got the oysters to the time they served the rest of the meal. When one of us asked about it, we got a less than solicitous response from the waitress; there was no apology for the delay and no explanation. The service experience was frustrating. this was our second time there, and the first experience was much better.

Food is always great and fresh. Atmosphere is really nice. Wish it was closer to were I live but we keep going because it's worth the trip!

I've been here several times for oysters and a burger. Solid gastropub if you want to sit at the bar and order appetizers. However, this time wanted mains and these were disappointing. Plus, the service was lacking - brought food we didn't order, never asked if everything was ok, ordered drinks that were never brought...and I had a clear view of our server chatting with the bar staff. Moral of the story is sit at the bar (the bar staff is always welcoming) and order apps.

We picked this place because of the good reviews and its proximity to the West Newton movie theater. Food was great, service was excellent, would definitely recommend!

We had a reservation for 8 pm but arrived early from the cinema across the street. Staff found us a table within about 5 minutes. Waitstaff was very friendly. The shish kebab was delicious and the fries outstanding. Drinks were generous. The place was crowded and bustling. But amazingly we could actually have a conversation! We'll definitely go back.

Really enjoyed our dinner at Bluebird. We had been wanting to visit for quite some time and finally had the chance. It didn't disappoint. The food and service were great. Everyone was friendly food delicious. Would highly recommend.

Nice atmosphere. Very good service. Cocktails were very good. Limited menu. We had the steak tips which were tasty, a bit chewy, and a relatively small portion compared to other local restaurants.
