Bird & Co. is my grandson's favorite restaurant. Today's lunch with him was my third visit. There is lots of variety on the menu, friendly service, and good food at reasonable prices. The restaurant is lively, with people young and old obviously enjoying themselves and their meals.

Wonderful meal before attending Simon & Garfunkel Story at the Merrill Auditorium which was a short walk away. Our server Jenna was excellent, so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and the bar choices. When you're in the area, this is the place to go!
