"Birdie’s wine list reads like a thesaurus. There’s a $127 Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre labeled as “Sauve,” a $132 Carricante from Sicily described as “Beguiling,” and an $81 French Mouvèdre that will leave you “Spellbound.” Plus, the people watching and the actual wines here are so good that it’s one of the best places to spend a Tuesday night in the entire city. It’s the perfect spot for sitting around by yourself and trying to guess who’s on a first date. Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, Syrah from Saint-Joseph, France" - carlo mantuano

"A meal at Birdie’s is homey and thoughtful, like a backyard dinner party thrown by your very talented chef friend where creative plates keep coming and you can never seem to find the bottom of your wine glass. The food is “New American” in the sense that it’s difficult to pin down the exact influences other than seasonality and stuff that simply tastes good, but that’s not really important anyway. What’s important is showing up with a date or a few friends to enjoy the constantly changing prix fixe menu—served family style—while working your way through the fun wine list. No two meals are ever the same, and that’s part of what makes dinner here exciting." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, raphael brion
