    Very overrated. Chicken was OK but nothing special. Blood sausage, which I ate often in Germany in my younger days, was skimpy and not even close to being good. Service was very slow at times.

    As a Jew, i love Birdie Gs but man, their portion sizes are a joke. Except for the french fries. But $16 for 1 maztoh ball soup is ridiculous and you know inflation aint hurting matzoh balls lets be real.

    Again service and ambiance besides food was excellent. The pickle dish was a great start. French Fries a must always. Mushrooms the best. Fish was well cooked and delicious. Rib eye the same. Kugle was delicious. Everything was just as I remember. KIN cocktail was a great start.

    We were celebrating our 51st wedding anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. We ordered the trumpet mushrooms, Caesar salad, steak and frites for two, and the chocolate cake and date bundt cake. Our Caesar salad was slightly overdressed, but the rest of the meal was superb. We brought a special champagne from home so we did not order wine. The wait staff made us feel special without hovering. All in all, a very memorable evening.

    Birdie G's (odd name) is excellent. Located in a light industrial neighborhood -- frankly, kind of a drawback that is tempered by friendly and efficient valet parking -- the food is excellent, if a bit inconsistent. The lamb is absolutely incandescent. The sides and starters are a bit less so (but the trumpet mushrooms tempura style was excellent). Not every dish can be a life altering experience but go fort the lamb, you won't regret it. Our server, Brian, was wonderful. Friendly. Knowledgeable, Very helpful (given that his was our first visit to Birdie G's).

    Spectacular evening at Birdie G's. Our waiter Brian was such a delight and helped our group curate a collection of shareable plates. Highly recommend the lamb and mezcal margaritas.

    Unfortunately, we had a poor experience at Birdie G's. We were a party of 6 at 6:30pm on Tuesday June 14. As you can see from the confirmation, our reservation made through Open Table was for outside seating (one of my guests is immunocompromised). When we arrived, on time, we were told we were wrong and that our reservation was for inside the dining room. Despite having to show my actual Open Table confirmation on my phone because they refused to believe me, they still insisted we were to go into the dining room and that my Open Table confirmation was wrong. We obliged. When we asked to be seated closer to the dining room door for better ventilation for my friend, we were sadly mistreated. I absolutely understand that restaurants can make mistakes, and that they can run into some challenges when it comes to seating. I am always happy to work with anyone trying to make it right and who acknowledges the problem. What I found unacceptable about our experience at Birdie G's was: 1. There was zero attempt on their part to try to remedy the situation 2. We were treated as if we were somehow lying 3. The Open Table reservation, despite being in writing, was not honored or even respected by the restaurant. 4. The restaurant's general attitude towards us throughout the experience can best be described at disdainful. We were all so looking forward to trying Birdie G's but because of the above behavior and attitude on the part of the restaurant, I won't return. I don't believe anyone in my party will either. I use Open Table often, and am so grateful for the amazing service you provide. I rarely complain about a restaurant, as I have found that most restaurants that you work with are very good. Following the experience at Birdie G's as described above, and because I know Open Table sincerely cares about customer care, I wanted to make you aware of what happened. Best regards, Ann
