We had a fantastic dinner at Blue Bird Bistro on Monday 9/16. We sat in the bar area and had the Bartender as our Server. She made us *perfect* dirty martinis, and recommended some excellent dishes and wine. We loved the salmon appetizer and the desserts most of all. The desserts were huge, and leftovers were enjoyed this morning with coffee!

Enjoyed a wonderful vegan meal at this spot last night. The service was exceptional, food was delicious and it has such a warm, inviting ambiance.

We came here last night and the food was extremely disappointing, and very expensive! There are a lot of much fancier restaurants charging much less for far better food. We're vegetarians and really wanted this place to work for us but not for food we can cook far better at home.

The pasta was so oily it was inedible and everything else was beyond bland and dry. The cheese curds were the only thing moderately tasty. Ultimately we got our check and went somewhere else.

I hope they can resolve the issue with their kitchen, this place has so much potential to be amazing if they can make decent food

We sat next to the wall with the glass display case and it was covered in dust and really off putting. If the front of the house isn't clean, it worries you about how the back kitchen is. Also, the coffee was really bitter, either because of the brand or it wasn't fresh. The meal was decent, although, the tofu scramble was not a scramble as others have mentioned. The cute heart shaped biscuit that comes with meal and the pancakes were good.

This place is really cute and I love that they have vegan options, but unfortunately the food is incredibly bland and the service is not great. I really wanted to like this place.

Ate here last night and wasn’t impressed at all. The dishes are very plain and entrees you can make at home. For the price and quality of the food left very upset I just spent $$$ on a dinner I didn’t enjoy. Some of the girls in my party ordered chicken and it was served with one piece of vegetable. Took forever to get the check/drinks and they weren’t even busy. In short, just don’t come here.

We decided to try Blue Bird Bistro on my birthday. We went on a Monday evening and made reservations, however, this particular night no reservations were needed and we were seated right away. We got there at 7:30 and stayed until close, it was so relaxing and we didn't feel rushed. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. The ambiance was perfect. The food was a little more bland than I expected but it was still good and hot and fresh. There were plenty of gluten free and dairy free options for me.
The cocktails were great!
Recommend the catfish bites appetizer.
All in all it was a great experience and we will definitely visit again.

Do not recommend. The eggs Benedict was well below average. Dry, overcooked, no capers, and did not come with any sides. Took about 20 minutes to get service. If the service and prices had been better it'd be fine but you can't have terrible food, bad service, and high prices.

Nicely decorated corner restaurant with a nice variety of menu options. Unfortunately the food didn’t always stand out. While the deviled eggs and cheese curds were delightfully tasty, the bison bites, bison burger and catfish sandwich were on the dry side and lacked much flavor. The bistro salad was heavy on greens and very light on the add-ins of cheese, nuts and even dressings. For dessert the apple crossed was a nice bite but the beet cake was a bit dry and lacked flavor.

The atmosphere is slightly upscale, pleasant, and maybe a little more old fashioned. Cloth napkins and stemware.

The food has been pretty good, and on specifically one occasioned it was really very good.

The prices are a little on the higher side, the portions were reasonable.

Not a regular staple place in my rotation, but if you haven't been it is probably worth giving it a chance.

Vegetarian options: They have usually had at least one or two strictly vegetarian AKA vegan options on the menu.

I have had a few dishes that were pretty good, I did have some undercooked pancakes once, not overall spectacular, but generally tasty.

I also was lucky enough to be there for an all vegan multi course dinner which was pretty awesome, would absolutely book that one again!
