The Bird Will Close in Logan Circle and Become Frenchy’s Naturel Bistro | Eater DC

"After a two-year run at 1337 11th Street NW, the Bird will cease service on Monday, January 21 so ownership can wipe the slate clean; they felt the restaurant was not delivering consistently and cycled through several chefs after the kitchen—originally designed around inaugural chef Michael Bonk’s poultry-focused menu—proved difficult for successors to replicate. Fans can get a last taste during Restaurant Week (January 14–20), with the final night offering half off food and drinks. The Bird’s popular brunch will largely remain intact, keeping chicken and waffles and fried chicken Benedict, while adding new items such as a croque madame and steak and eggs." - Tierney Plumb
