    Didn’t get a great table location and our server didn’t add much value. The food was awesome though.

    Place was empty, it took 20 mins to get our drinks after we had ordered them, then the manager says some of her staff left early today, but the place was empty. It almost felt like they were purposely not making our drinks

    Shy Bird never misses! I've been here for weekday coffee, weekend brunch and late night cocktails, and have left happy every time. Great food, great staff and great vibes (:

    We ordered the rotisserie chicken with the sauce flight and it was incredible! We also loved the cucumber starter and the rotisserie cauliflower.

    Great food and service, great space, and best of all, no need to shout our conversation across the table to each other!

    Had a reservation but still waited 30 minutes for a table of two. Disappointing ^^ Editing this review to say that the restaurant followed up with me and more than made up for that experience. I was in touch with Eli the owner and he was incredibly generous and thoughtful in ensuring my next experience was memorable. This is a restaurant that TRULY cares about its customers and their experience and I have to say the food is extremely elevated and delicious. The chicken is crispy and juicy and the sauces are mouth watering. Everything else I had was amazing- the chicken wings, the spring bowl, the fries with a special shout-out for the crushed cucumbers which I loved. The cookies are so soft and tasty as well. This is a great business that has good values and strong leadership as well as delicious food. I will be back no doubt.
