"Bluebird Bistro and it's bright yellow door is one of the original restaurants on Summit Street on the Westside. They make Mid American cuisine with locally sourced organic foods, most of it is a fancy version of comfort food. Their menu changes seasonally, their salads are great and their brunch is fantastic. It's the perfect spot to eat outside on a pretty day and people watch, you might even forget you are in the middle of the midwest for a bit. Make sure to save room for a cocktail or two and dessert, they are all great." - Rachel Sleeter

Read the reviews and was excited to experience a Victorian renovated restaurant. Not sure when it was renovated, but it's not what I was expecting. Had the biscuits and mushroom gravy. I wasn't ready for the heavy flavor of mushrooms. The bacon was delicious, and if you're there, definitely try the bacon. Full of strong pepper and maple flavor. My husband had chicken on biscuits and gravy his chicken wasn't cooked all the way. Service was good, the waitress was friendly.

Definitely out of my comfort zone but thought I would try something different. Space is limited. You will be pretty crammed into your table touching your neighbors and hearing their conversations. Food is expensive and fancy. Home grown or vegan on everything listed. Water comes in a tequila bottle. No sweet wines were available.

All I can say is WOW!! The vegan options are plentiful and the food is amazing. I got the tofu bowl with a side of vegan gravy. It was so good!! And they have mimosas! The server was super attentive and nice. My first restaurant in KC was a hit!

This place provided such a wonderful atmosphere for Valentine’s Day! The service was friendly, drinks were amazing and the food was fairly good. The food, as many reviews point out, was slightly under salted, not under seasoned. Once I added salt to my dish, it really popped! The true highlight of the night was the vegan orange cake for dessert. It was very, complex, and delicious. Highly recommend this place for the cute atmosphere , friendly service, and delicious organically sourced food.

The atmosphere was lovely. We looked forward to the evening to celebrate my wifes birthday. Unfortunately, the server was not as excited. Chevy came to take our order and explained how restaurant week was so busy, she was ready for it to be over. After our entrees were served, the server never came back to check on our meal. She just sat at the bar and looked at her phone (see photo). My wifes steak came undercooked, and the 2nd course of mushrooms wasn't served until our we asked about the missing item. She didn't apologize, just walked away, looked at a menu, then walked directly to the kitchen. Then she served the mushrooms with our dessert course. It was so crazy. Why is this person serving in sweatpants and pink crocs? After a minimal tip, this was the most grossly overpriced meal I have paid for. $180 for 3ppl, only 1 mocktail and three underwhelming, underseasoned entrees. The only saving grace was the spicy mule mocktail and the chocolate dessert. Otherwise, the rest of our meal was lackluster. We won't be back ever.

My wife and I have been going here for years. I take my wife here once a year, because it's a little too pricey for our budget to go more often. But wow, is it worth the price. It is high quality food, easily the best brunch place in Kansas City. I highly recommend the potato bowl with the Bison sausage. The Bison sausage alone will change your life. Also, they have very tasty mocktails. That staff is very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is great. I hope to see this place thriving in years to come.

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!

We always love Bluebird (their potato bowl is truly magical) but today they earned a special place in our hearts. I’m having a very difficult pregnancy and after having a good morning we decided to try to go out to eat. Immediately after ordering I realized we needed to leave and the good morning had ended. They could not have been more kind or empathetic- offering a cold cloth, shared experiences and peppermint tea while they quickly packaged our food. Thank you so much for your kindness and understanding, so thankful to not be treated like a burden during a hard time.
