   A table of screaming kids on one side and a table of half lit senior citizens on the other. Obviously weren't expecting diners ... the rest of the tables had no napkins, cutlery or glasses. Dark, gloomy with tiny red fairy lights flashing above you. Food was meh but the wine was good and well priced. Service? What service except for one nice waitress. They really should paint over the spackled dents in the walls.

   Found this place on Instagram and went there for my birthday. That lobster Mac and cheese was absolutely fantastic! Definitely want to go back and try the fries.

   Was greeted immediately upon entering by the staff who were both friendly and accommodating. The music selection was great. The food was just so so. I ordered fries and a lobster quesadilla. The fries were somewhat cold and the lobster was a little too chewy. The drinks were made good. I tasted the strawberry cider which was really good.

    The menu for large dinner plates is limited and I felt overpriced. I did not feel that the meal with tip and a drink was worth $60.

    Had an outdoor group dinner during Restaurant Week and it was a great experience! A few in our group had dietary restrictions and they were very accommodating even with the limited Restaurant Week menu. Portions were generous, service was very friendly, and the food was delicious. I had called in advanced to confirm we could order a la carte from the Restaurant Week menu - this turned out not to be the case. But, other than that, it was a very solid choice and I would definitely go back!

    Food was very good. Service was slow spotty. I did not appreciate the automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill. It appeared to be forcing that level of gratuity regardless of actual level of service. The online payment method does allow gratuity to be customized however there is a fee to utilize this service.

    The staff was very nice, but this place is struggling. They seem very short staffed. They got one of our orders wrong, then didn't bring out a replacement until after everyone else in our group had finished eating.

    Went with friends for brunch and when we ordered our dishes, we were asked how we wanted our eggs. When the orders came out, 3 of us had just received scrambled eggs (not what we’d ordered). When we asked if we could have our correct order, the server said that wouldn’t be possible since the dish was always going to be scrambled (we were then confused as to why he’d asked us how we’d wanted our eggs). He offered to get one of my friends a side of over medium eggs once they asked, but when the eggs came out they were extremely undercooked (as were all of our eggs). A weird experience.

    Disappointing brunch after reading good dinner reviews. Got their house mash which was supposed to have tomatoes and peppers alongside scrambled eggs. Had to search for them. But the worst was bacon that looked like and tasted like it spent a day under a heat lamp. Inedible. To their credit, they made me a new batch. Waitress was super nice and accommodating.

    Took an hour and a half to get 5 salads, and the server told us it was our fault because we wanted to add salmon and they said there was none left and they had to remake them. But saw someone order salmon after us and get it. Incredibly rude servers and slow wait time, but atleast the food was good.

    The brunch food was great! The home fries were a little spicy with the Croque Madam. Loved the chicken and waffles! Where we were seated there were what appeared to be workers (not servers) walking around talking very loudy past our table. They just seemed to mill about near our table.

    I was looking for a restaurant near Graduate Hospital. Lou Bird's was a blind choice and turned out to be somewhere I will return. I am not able to eat a lot at one time, but my burger was so tasty I ate all but a tiny bit. My dining partner had the chicken sandwich that was so good but so big, she is taking the rest for lunch. There was a good variety of dishes in addition to what we ate. The food was good, but the people who work there could not have nicer. You really felt they were genuine when they spoke to you.
