There were only 5 people there and the bartender still took at least 20 min to make our 2 drinks. He had no personality and seemed like he wanted nothing to do with being there. The whitefish dip was also yucky. We ended up leaving instead of ordering entree's, which I have never done with a restaurant.

We love Hummingbird. The drinks are always amazing and I will come again and again if for nothing else to have a Negroni. Up to now we’ve never been underwhelmed with the food, but I wouldn’t recommend the skirt steak - it was fairly plain and lacking in flavor. Any of the other entrees have always been great.

We visited for the first time and discovered after waiting for food for over an hour that the kitchen was short-staffed. However, that was not shared when we arrived. From a customer service perspective, we would have had a choice to stay and wait or go someplace else. The cocktails were really good, the staff was nice enough, apologetic, and the food was good but maybe not good enough to have us return. With this kind of wait, another good customer service option is to comp dessert or offer something for us to return next time when they have a full staff.

We chose this restaurant because they take reservations and we didn’t want to wait for a table. It wasn’t very busy. We sat outside on a nice summer evening. The food was okay and the service was good but we will not likely go back.

First time dining and it was a wonderful experience. The building is amazing and how they positioned the bar is brilliant. Food was great, as was the service. Not the largest menu but they knocked it out of the park with the two appetizers, two entrees, and dessert we had. Drinks were interesting and good. Had a number of non-alcoholic cocktails, beers, etc as well.

Cute place. Nice staff. Great cocktail/wine menu. Limited menu. Only beef option was skirt steak. Chicken skewers and salmon option had the same sides.

July 1, 2023: So many things were awful. Had to persuade the waitress to ask the chef to cook the steak rare, were told it couldn't be cooked rare due to the texture (it wasn't sous vide)? The fish was not local so chose a salad with chicken skewer. Chicken was fine, but the salad was swimming in dressing (forgot to ask for it on the side) to the point that it was inedible. We also ordered a side of brussel sprouts as an appetizer, but they were served with our meal. The brussel sprouts were also swimming in salty sauce and inedible. At least the mixed drinks were decent. /sigh. To top it all off, we were seated at a table next to the bar, I asked my date to sit closer to me (because, well, he's the type of guy you want get close to) so he sat 90 degrees from me, at the side of the table. NOTE this for the next part: before he moved to the side of the table, he was seated across from me with his BACK TO THE BAR AND REST OF THE RESTAURANT. After about 20 minutes, another couple was seated near us (but over 6 feet away). The manager? came over and asked my date to move. When he protested, she raised her voice and said, "No one wants to look at your back." If there had been any number of reasons presented - the wait staff need more space, etc. we would have understood. He didn't move, and she came back a few times sounding more and more irritated. Her comments and her tone made both of us feel unwelcome. On our way out, my date said we wouldn't be back. The manager? almost yelling, followed us to the door, saying how she didn't need our business etc. Diners stopped talking and watched the scene, she was that loud. Needless to say we won't be back, the food was poor and so was the service. For the price of our dinner and drinks we expected better food and better service.
