If you're ever fortunate enough to find the hangar steak with chimmichuri sauce special on the menu, order it! This was the best meal I've ever eaten at Mockingbird! Don't get me wrong, all of their food is terrific, but this one was so good that I wish I hadn't shared it with others at the table!!! Cooked to perfection in the wood-fired oven and hand-turned to achieve a crunchy bark on the outside with a perfectly cooked, tender and juicy inside...wish this was always available! My compliments to the chef!

As always, a great experience! The brunch items are just enough food so you have a good meal but not so much where you feel weighed down! Service was great!

First-time visit on a Friday night. Sat at the bar and ordered the escargot, lamb lollipops, and wood-fired mushroom pizza. Food was amazing. Cocktails were awesome. Vibe was energetic. Aria (Jax) was super cheerful helpful and attentive - wonderful server!
