   The ambience sets the mood, we knew we were in a great restaurant. Cocktail offerings delicious along with beautiful presentation. A very nice selection for every course, especially loved the eggs benedict. Waiters were attentive and willing to answer our many questions. It was a belated birthday celebration that could not have been better. We are looking forward to our next visit.

   Went here for a special anniversary meal. The staff was very polite and accommodating to my food allergy. I was hesitant to eat here at first because the descriptions of the meals online seemed a bit odd to me, but once I tried the food, it was absolutely delicious.

    Have been here several times. There are new menu items which we were excited to try. They were mostly very good but some of them like the fish need some work getting the flavors right. Service and ambience were exceptional as usual. Overall an excellent spot for a special occasion dinner

    Delicious seasonal menu! Enjoyed the crab w trout roe appetizer. The farro bread is NOT filler it deserves its own course on the menu! And I’m so glad it is presented as food to be savored - delightful! The mains did not disappoint lamb w morel mushrooms … need I say more? Thyme basted monkfish w potatoes and parsley cream… Dessert - the unexpected beetroot cherry and berry mouse w aged sherry - a fun exploration in flavor. And the dark chocolate mousse w the caramelized popcorn and brûléed banana ice cream a rich satisfying end!

    Party of 5 for birthday. Attended one of the wine experiences. Everyone at our table enjoyed the whole experience - not just the food, which was wonderful, but interacting with the chef, the wine maker, and the other guests around us.

    Overall it was a unique experience. Food was good but for the cost the environment seemed a little casual. The 7/8 courses took too long. We had a good time for the first 1 1/2 hours but then started to get a little tired of sitting. We were seated at 5:32 PM and didn't finish until 8:15 PM. The restaurant wasn't very busy for a Saturday night. I believe there was only about 8-10 tables in total that were occupied.

    The food and service were outstanding. We were a group of four. Two had the wine pairing. All wines were well paired. One of us is gluten free for medical reasons. The chef went out of his/her job to accommodate. Actually the gluten free bread was the best ever. Planning to go back.

    We had impeccable service. The food was presented beautifully. The decor of the restaurant and hotel was very modern chic. I loved the cups and utensils they used for serving too. Even though the portions look small the food was actually filling. Although we did order a side of potatoes and bacon. Rainbird is an experience everyone should try at least once.

    5 course dinner with wine pairing. Each course had depth, layers of flavor. A time to savor each bite. Allow 2 hours to have enjoyable dinner and conversation. Great service and quiet. The chef is very creative. Wine pairings were adequate, not great. If you see a favorite wine on the list, get it.

    Presentation is definitely something they have done well here. Unfortunately when I balanced out the presentation with the taste of the dinner, the value fell short. While I understand you are paying for an experience, I would think that the most important piece would be the taste of it all. None of the food stood out to me other than to say that it lacked flavor.
