"Birdie G’s is an American comfort food spot in Santa Monica that pulls off the trick of being exciting but not frightening to unadventurous eaters. They serve fantastic versions of classics like matzo ball soup, yam casserole, and wood-grilled chicken, plus there’s a fantastic kids' menu for any remaining picky eaters. The restaurant is located in a large (but surprisingly cozy) warehouse of a space, so there’s usually no issue snagging a walk-in table either in the dining room or bar area lined with booths." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder, cathy park
