   We have been eyeing Bird & Bred for quite a while, and finally got the chance to try it out today, for a low-key Christmas Eve lunch. Located in bustling Downtown Chandler, we were shocked how easy it was to find parking. The atmosphere is very modern and spacious. The inside had very loud music so we opted for the patio. Unfortunate, service was subpar. The server was friendly, but hard to find most times. The wait time for the food was also substantial-- the whole meal took almost 2 hours! Our food, when it finally did arrive, was pretty good. We started with Garlic Frites, which had a great crunch and was served with a delicious aioli. For entrees, my Dad loved the Salmon Agrodolce. I thought my Short Rib Sandwich was rather fatty, but I enjoyed the Side Caesar. Would I come back soon? Unlikely. Did I enjoy my lunch? Sure, just wish it wasn't so long.

   The place was really beautiful and we loved the own air feel. Why it's 80 degrees in December is baffling but it made for some great patio weather. Our server (Payton?) was so sweet and took great care of us. We were there for our staff holiday party. The food was very, very good!!

   I had reservations and they sat us in the open garage door opening with a constant cold breeze from an air conditioner. When asked if we could move to one of the open two tables they told us the tables were for a larger party coming. A waiter helped out and got them to move us to a booth in the bar area. This is the only reason I’m giving 3 stars for service. Our waiter was wonderful. The large party never came by the way. The food was good but my pasta was lukewarm.

   We had to wait 10 mins or so just to have someone come to our table but once they did- it was enjoyable. Good food! Would go again.

   Last night was my first time going to Born and Bred. The hostess was great and friendly. She mentioned that Happy Hour was for the whole restaurant, not just the bar. Presley, was our waitress and she knew the menu and the drinks, answering any questions we had. The food was excellent along with the staff. I will definitely go back.

   My girlfriend and I had been to Aftermath in uptown Phoenix a few times already, so we decided to try the Chandler version, Born N Bred, and we were not disappointed. The vibe is similar. Very trendy with a lot of energy. The service is impeccable. Our server Catarina was wonderful. Very personable and knowledgeable and very accommodating. The food was delicious, though the serving sizes were a bit on the smaller side. I had the short ribs and my girlfriend had the halibut. Both were cooked to perfection. We asked for a wine pairing and the recommendation offered was spot on. All in all we had a wonderful experience. And will definitely return.

   My wife had been eyeing this place for a while watching their social media posts. Unfortunately, our visit did not live up to their own hype. We visited the restaurant during the Chandler Christmas light parade and Tree lighting. for starters I had the wings which had been touted on their social media as the absolute best. The wings had very little flavor, little sauce and just kind of blah. We also tried the Caesar salad which was again touted on social media as being very good. The salad was lightly, cool and had very little flavor as well. I then ordered the "aftermath burger" and my wife ordered a past dish. The burger was nothing to wright home about however my wife did say her past was very good. Not sure if we caught them on a bad night but I will say our server was on top of things and did an outstanding job. It's probably worth giving it a try the prices are not bad and the location is great.
