blue bird bistro

This is a great restaurant hidden away. We went to eat dinner and they were not busy at all (it was black Friday). We were initially the only table. We were sat, tucked away in a little corner of the restaurant. We enjoyed a bottle of Lambrusco. Our appetizer was the cheese curds, which theirs may be the new standard for comparison. I enjoyed the stuffed chicken over mashed sweet potatoes and he had the nettle pasta with chicken. It was all amazing. We, unfortunately, did not get dessert but will for sure be back!

I came to the restaurant hungry, and I left the restaurant hungry. I arrived at 9:30. It took 30 minutes to get some coffee and water and to take our order. I ordered a parfait, 2 biscuits and gravy with sausage, 2 fancy cakes, and sweet bites. After 30 minutes of placing our order i still had not received my parfait, how long does it take to put fruit and granola in some yogurt? I asked if we could just our order in a To-go box since we had already been there for an hour without any food. Another 30 more minutes passed by we finally got our order in a to go box. After an 1 hour and 30 minutes we wanted to get out of there. We were hungry, we haven’t even had our parfait yet! When we finally paid and got home, I was so mad to see that we overpaid, instead of 2 fancy cakes, I got one cake. Instead of 2 biscuits and gravy, I got half. Yet we still paid full price. And still there was no parfait or sweet bites. So they were not honest about what they charged us. Had us wait for an hour and half without twiddling our fingers. And they still got the order wrong and left out items. Go down the block, plenty of restaurants in the area.

I want to start off by saying that I work in the service industry so I get that sometimes people have bad nights. However, I have never paid this much for such disappointing food. I came the blue bird bistro for a friends birthday party so there were about 10 of us. I already knew we’d need to be patient because that’s a lot for someone to serve. Our waiter was very nice but I think there were only 2 waiters for the whole place on a Saturday night so it took a lot longer than expected to get anything. We had the cheese curds and bruschetta as our apps, cheese was great (idk how that could be bad lol) and the bruschetta was full of mushrooms which was different and really tasty. Eventually our entrees came and I was shocked. I ordered the chicken, which I usually don’t do but as it said it was farm fresh and it was expensive dollars so I assumed it would be good. I was so wrong. One of my friends at the end of the table also ordered it and they both looked terrible. Unseasoned chicken breast on top of bland sweet potato puree and a sad smattering of RAW spinach just thrown on top :(. I wish I’d taken a picture of what it looked like as soon as it came out. Once I saw that sad pale chicken I immediately grabbed some salt and pepper. Then I tried to cut into it hoping it’d at least taste nice even though the presentation was bad. I struggled because it was dry and also very cold. Which by the way everything we got was cold and I think it had something to do with the fact that all of their plate ware was plastic🙃. I’m sure it’s hard to keep food warm or under a heat lamp with its on sad plastic plates. Farm to table expensive food on PLASTIC! Very disappointed. I looked at other reviews and a lot of them from the past few months have had the same issues as I did. It seems like they used to have incredible food but clearly somethings changers I think this place could be really special again because of the farm to table aspect but they realllllly need to work on the quality of the food and the presentation.
