    Everything was excellent and our waitress was very attentive. It was a special night as celebrating an anniversary. I chose this restaurant as my 91 yr old mum had never been here. She loved it as much as much as me and my husband! Lamb shank, moussaka and stuffed cabbage all delicious!

    This was our third time at The Bluebird Bar, our first for a special occasion, a birthday. We ordered mussels as an appetizer, which were absolutely delicious and plentiful. The main course of salmon, which my husband asked to have cooked through was good, but kind of bland. My steak tips were good and came with fries that were exceptional! The curious part came towards the end of our time there. We were well-fed, but might have ordered a dessert, since this was a birthday celebration. The bill came and no dessert menu was offered, nor was any little gesture made in honor of the birthday. The person seating us did give happy birthday wishes verbally, but that was it. Most times we and friends have eaten out to celebrate a birthday, some gesture has been made at other restaurants. We enjoy The Bluebird Bar and will return, but my advice to the restaurant is to pay some kind of tangible attention to someone celebrating a birthday with you.

    So pleasantly surprised. Food was extremely delicious and cooked perfectly. Ordered the mussels appetizer, sirloin tips and pulled pork sandwich. Cosmo was strong and for dessert the chocolate cake was amazing. Restaurant was very quiet for a Friday evening at 6pm. Wait staff very attentive.

    A nice place. Dress pretty much anyway you like, but more dressy is the norm. I booked a table for a first date kind of last minute. We were reserved at the bar. It worked out. The bartender seemed a little condescending, also got past that, as I with the most beautiful lady in the place. The food was good, bordering great. Although I felt the lobster ravioli was just a touch dry. Meatball app was fantastic, as is the grill toasted bread served with it. A really nice date, excellent food, no alchohol and under 100 bucks. Score!
