    I will be back! Everything was five star and fantastic. They offer a special price for valet parking if you are seeing a production at the Balboa Theater or The Civic Center which we were. Rolled into valet parking, greeted with smiles, welcoming service. Within minutes checking into the restaurant which is lovely and great ambiance. The host welcomed us and offered us a table of our choosing.Thank you Javier our server who recognized my open table reservation and made sure to mention he checked us in for open table points. We decided to sit at the bar. Fantastic call as great energy and modern decor. The bartender was very sweet, professional and fast with serving us delicious cocktails. Filthy martini heaven :)! My friend and I went with 3 shareables. The portions were huge! Spiced Cauliflower bowl, blistered shishito peppers, and IPA Rock Fish Tacos. Each one was delicious- just the right spice and flavors. I want to go back and try everything on the menu. Bravo Chef! After the theater performance, valet was fast to retrieve my car and gracious goodnight. THANK YOU crew at Bronze Bird and Marriott Bonvoy! What a gem in our city. PS --show your theater tickets and 20 your dinner bill!!!!!!!!
