We came during a Michael Jackson themed night so the music was already amazing. Vibes here were absolutely unmatched, everyone was dancing having a good time. Bit of a wait to get inside but all in all it was totally worth the wait (about 35 minutes) the host at the door was extremely kind and friendly, the server who was attending us at our table was also very kind and attentive. The drinks were definitely the highlight of the night, I got the "What's Your Fantasy" and my Girlfriend got the "Like a Virgin" and we both loved the drinks, we also had some lemon drop shots to accompany our drinks.

We started the evening with drinks and appetizers. There was a nice variety of cocktails, and we especially enjoyed the jerk chicken egg rolls. They were served with a side of fresh pineapple, which was a delicious and unexpected touch. For my entrée, I ordered the jerk chicken tacos, while others in our group had the steak frites and the mac and cheese. Everyone really enjoyed their meals, and the food was well prepared. Even as the restaurant became busier throughout the evening, the staff remained attentive and provided excellent service. Overall, M. Bird was a great choice for our corporate dinner, and I'd happily return for both the food and the rooftop atmosphere.

I asked for an explanation and was told by Zachary that the restaurant automatically adds 20% on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I spoke with the manager and, in a patronizing tone, was given the same spiel. We reviewed our reservation, the website, and the menu, and we didn't see an automatic 20% gratuity listed anywhere. I was mad; I paid for my food, taxes, left a small tip, and went outside. Zachary followed me and told me I needed to pay the remaining gratuity; I told him he did not know the law. I stated that if the restaurant was going to engage in that practice, then it better be posted where customers will see it. He then stated that he was going to call the owner. I said Fine, but you should know the law, and it's on my side. I would have gladly given Zachary the 20% on my own had the restaurant not taken it upon themselves to do so.

The decor and setup make it a great place for photos, so don't be shy about snapping a few. Overall, it's the perfect spot for a night out when you want good drinks, good music, and good vibes. Definitely a go-to to hangout.

We found Bouzy while walking around looking for a brunch spot on a rare trip to Hyde Park and came…read moreaway very pleased with the experience overall, though there were a few minor hiccups with our visit. I'll start with the good stuff. The space inside Bouzy's front dining area and bar is gorgeous. It's not large, but it has very high ceilings, which add to the sense of space, and the modern decor, especially the bubble-inspired lighting, all add up to a bright and vibrant atmosphere. I can easily imagine it looks even more polished and stylish at night. Also, our food was excellent. We got the Florentine Benedict and the Shrimp & Grits -- both were beautifully plated and delicious. Also, if you're feeling snacky before brunch, try the Marinated Olives. It's easily a snack for two -- we even ended up taking some home! I did mention a few minor hiccups at the start. The bottle of Cava Reserva we ordered was not kept chilled, so we had to wait a little for it to come out and we did worry for a moment that we wouldn't get it before our entrees arrived. Also, our server, while very friendly and sweet, was a little uneven in terms of how often she came over to check on us. At the start, she seemed a little scattered, but later on she found her groove and came over to us more often to see what we needed. As I said, minor hiccups, and certainly nothing that would discourage us from another visit the next time we cross the bay and visit Hyde Park. Definitely curious about what it might be like at night!

Premature oysters. The avocado toast, that was trash. Do not recommend. Made with spread from Publix. The surf and turf Benedict was really good. The wedge salad was pretty good . The steak sandwich was alright but half of the sandwich had no meat at all. Veggiees and spread only . And can't forget that all their main plates comes with a. Side of lays chips from Walmart. Very small tables, we had a party of 7 and they put very tiny tables together. They can't accommodate big parties. They also need better ventilation system because they have a open concept kitchen and the whole time we were there the restaurant was so smoky my eyes we're burning and the smell making me nausea's. At least kept the bottomless mimosas coming and our server was very nice. Also on their website they said they had a Dj on sunday Brunches and he was nowhere to be found. Music sucked.

I say surprising because I expected bar food but they actually put effort into the flavors of the wings and the fries were very well seasoned. I enjoyed the old fashioned. It was a bit heavier on the bitters but other than that, I would order again. The price was definitely on the more costly side for the wings. I mean, they were really good but be prepared to spend some money coming here. *Service* The server was very good and attentive. He checked in on us regularly and the other food runners that came in were very nice. I would recommend to have some kind of notice that the server is entering the room because they sure did swing that door open like the police sometimes and I can see it possibly causing injuries to someone standing behind it in the room or spilling their drink. Maybe like a doorbell sound or something. *Ambience* The room was very cool - both temperature wise and decor. Colorful and comfy and the perfect size for our group. Not sure the major differences in the other rooms but makes me curious to come back.

So disappointed!! My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner at On Swann and made reservations for…read moreJekyll for dessert. We absolutely loved going to Ciro's when they were still opened and enjoying their fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookies amongst many other things. We saw that Jekyll offered "Ciro's Chocolate Chip Cookies" and we were so excited to one, try Jekyll, and two, gobble up some made to order cookies. So, we arrived a few minutes before our 7pm reservation, but were left standing at the entrance as other parties were shuttled right in. In fact, 10 minutes later, we were still standing there. After almost 15 minutes, we were finally escorted into the speakeasy. This was the first sign of how the evening was going to go and, honestly, we should've left after five minutes of waiting. Once seated, we were warmly greeted by Otis, who took our order for the cookies and spiked milk. When the runner brought the cookies they were neither fresh from the oven, nor warm (or gooey) like real Ciro's cookies were. Instead, they were cold, hard and broke like peanut brittle. I spoke to Otis, who immediately addressed the matter and put in another order of cookies. The second order was delivered by the manager, who claimed that he stood and watched the entire process. This was difficult for us to believe because the second batch cookies were even worse than the first batch. So, we called Otis back over, told him we were leaving and thanked him for his superior service. At this same time, a bar tender, who overheard all of this, stopped by with two complementary beverages. The drinks were the highlight of the visit along with the severs graciousness and professionalism. Jekyll appears to be a very nice place. Unfortunately, they don't make, nor serve authentic Ciro's chocolate chip cookies. Two stars for Otis and bar tender. Do better Jekyll!!
