    Our servers Kenny and Brianna were excellent. They brought a lot of energy and definitely enhanced the dining experience. They both made recommendations that turned out to be on point. The apps were tremendous, tuna tartare and lobster dumplings. We also had the Halston roll and the Holiday roll which was a special, both were off the charts. Everyone enjoyed their entrees except the bronzing which I was told was dry and an overall swing and a miss. The scampi and ribs were delicious. The PB&J desert was ridiculous.

    Food is out of this world. It took exceptionally long to get our food however. We arrived at 6:30 and did not get our food till almost 8. Noise level was a bit loud but we could still talk at our table. Waitress was friendly and prompt. I particularily appreciated how often our water was filled.

    We are always so pleased when we bring friends and family to Bluebird Kitchen. The menu choices are great and the appetizers are always changing. We had the shrimp and seaweed appetizer and it was delicious and different. We had leftovers to bring home and my niece will not have to cook for two days. Always a great atmosphere and the staff as usual were great. Our favorite is the Brick chicken which we get as takeout when we do not feel like cooking

    We went at an off hour (2 PM) so got stuck between shifts. We lost our waiter halfway through the service. On the plus side we were able to speak with the chef. All of the food was fresh and inventive and locally sourced when possible (Shinnecock Bay scallops). This is a gastropub so expect elevated food in casual but cozy surroundings.
