    Pink Lady Mocktail and Caesar Salad
    Sara M.

    I guarantee you have not experienced service like this- like clock work, the team flawlessly passes the baton. Everything was quick and served with attention and pride. Everything we tried was fabulous and the portion sizes were reasonable. Beautiful plating, fun flavors. The one caveat is my boyfriend ordered his ribeye medium rare and it came out with very little pink. The skillet brownie is insane, definitely the choice for true chocolate lovers. I wish the outdoor area was larger because it's so gorgeous when the weather is good, but the interior has a jazzy, prohibition era, 00s global village vibe that I love. This place is a wonderful and much needed addition to the Dearborn food scene.

    Service is top notch at Birdies. They are very attentive. Ambiance was definitely a very fun vibe, definitely not a quiet place. Stunning patio and views. Appetizers was delicious don't skip out on the sticky ribs and chipotle chicken bites and artichoke dip. Main entree was good. Perfect place for any occasion.

    This is definitely a recommended spot! The service is top tier. The ambiance is chill, it's at a golf course and you can dine inside or out. The food is great it's a couple more thing I want to go back and try though. My only complaint was the meat on the lobster roll comes out cold. But overall was a delicious sandwich.

    Blushed Arugula Salad
    Maham S.

    Just phenomenal. Everyone needs to go here! For appetizers, we started with the burrata, arugula salad, and chipotle chicken bites, and every single one was delicious. The burrata had the perfect balance of herbs and mozzarella, and I loved the olives mixed in. The blushed feta arugula salad didn't even taste like a salad. It had the freshest ingredients, just the right amount of crunch, and a super tasty vinaigrette. The cherries were also such a nice touch. We added a side of chicken, which was crispy on the outside, moist inside, and perfectly seasoned. Literally cooked to perfection. The chipotle chicken bites were the perfect mix of tangy and sweet. The sauce they were soaked in was incredible. Honestly, if we hadn't already ordered entrees, we could have stopped right there. For drinks, I had the Pink Lady. It was a little too sweet for me, but I fixed that by adding some sparkling water (haha). For entrees, we got the Filet Au Poivre and the Truffle Campanelle. The steak tips were so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The truffle pasta was just okay for me. The cream sauce didn't have a ton of flavor. The staff was amazing. Jackie and Dana were so kind, took our photo multiple times, and checked in often to make sure we were good. Only downside was that we had to wait about 30 minutes past our reservation time for a table, but they were completely packed, and the rainy weather limited their seating. Overall, amazing experience. I'd come back in a heartbeat!

    I tend to write more lengthy reviews, but I'll keep it short and straight to the point. The restaurant has very good food at best and at worst above average. It is considered a fine dining experience, but I did not feel like it took itself too seriously. I do think the prices are way too high for some of the things they are offering, but overall I did enjoy dinner with my wife here. The waiter we had was a nice polite dude, but when asked about recommendations he kept insisting on steak related dishes and didn't really give me much insight into other things. I was a huge fan of the lamb ribs and mushroom soup. I did like the orzo dish even though I'm not a pasta person, but I found my wife's penne to be so and so. The portions are generous, so don't over order because you will fill up quickly. The cheesecake is a must try.

    I love birdies . The food and drinks, while expensive, are very good . Great music and always nice to see a familiar face in there from Dearborn Hills. Marti at the bar is the best. Here is the thing though: every time we go there it is some weird issue. They refuse to let you make any modifications to the food . If you want no Caesar dressing on the chicken sandwich, it's a huge deal . The waitress told us no and then the owner had to come out to try to talk us into the dressing or a different dressing . My husband is picky and likes things more plain, just give him the sandwich the way he wants it ! This has happened multiple times when we have been there . My son asked for no curry sauce on the salmon, they insisted it was served with the curry sauce. It's just annoying, let people order the food the way they want it. It sets a weird tone for the dinner and makes things awkward . I understand they want to maintain the integrity of the dish, but there are some things that people just flat out don't like . They shouldn't have to eat it if they don't want it .

    Birdies was absolutely amazing from the time we walked in until we left Great Service My co worker birthday I definitely will be back (next week) I give 5 stars Food was amazing Ceasars salad homemade croutons dressing It's the fireplace for me Very comfortable It's a whole VIBE

    Penne Alla 'No-Vodka' + chicken
    Tarik B.

    I love it every time I eat here! Today we got a mushroom bisque that had baked cheese on it the Baratta and tapenade, the chicken chipotle bites, and the Penne Alla 'No-Vodka'. Each dish stood out, and had depth and layers of flavors in each bite. Plus we got to sit out on the patio and the weather was perfect so what's there not to love. Shoutout to Hannah for the great service yesterday too.

    The servers were attentive and the food was very good! The restaurant was smaller than I thought it would be so I was glad to have a reservation.

    This is a interesting review to write because it doesn't feel as straightforward as most. We tried Birdie's for the first time last night after seeing great reviews which created high expectations. Our experience was mixed so I am going to be as honest as possible. Overall, I'm still giving it five stars because it's new and although there are some areas for improvement, I think this place shows tremendous promise. First the positives. I'll start with the most important - the food is excellent! With a menu that made it difficult to choose, I was pretty excited to dine here. We started with a caesar salad for the table to share and it was one of the best caesars I've ever tried. The cornbread croutons put it over the top. For dinner, I had the Wood-fired Ribeye Melt and my husband had the Fish & Chips and both were excellent. Shoestring fries are my favorite kind and they are super generous with them. I would rate the food here better than most restaurants in the metro-Detroit area. Another positive was that the service was fast and friendly. They really have a team-mentality here with everyone working together to serve, clear and check in with patrons. We felt welcome and appreciated from the first time our server came to the table. The patio and view outside were amazing. We couldn't sit outside because it just wasn't warm enough yet, but we had a great view and I can see the patio as being very popular as soon as it warms up outdoors. Now, on to areas I think could be improved. Again, starting with the most important - the cocktails. When I pay $16 for a drink, I have high expectations and I just don't think Birdie's is there yet. I tried two different drinks and neither was something I'd order again. I will say the drink presentation was on point, but the drinks themselves didn't wow me. The dining room experience had a few hiccups as well. One was the noise level. I know that 1. most restaurants are loud, and 2. I am getting old, which makes it harder to carry on a conversation at the table, but I noticed this more here than usual. (It really made me wish that lovely patio was open.) My second issue with the dining room was the size of the table. We dined with another couple and our four-top was smaller than average which made it uncomfortably crowded even when just our salad and drinks were on the table, let alone when dinner arrived. I think this may have played a factor in a cocktail that was accidentally spilled while being served. As I said it was an accident and we completely understood, but were puzzled and surprised when not once, but twice we were rained on again with some liquid that came from the direction of the bar. It was very weird, but because it was right before we left, we didn't mention it. Overall, I am willing to give this place another shot. The quality of the food is most important and I'm seriously rooting for this place. I will, however, give them a little time to iron out a few of these kinks, so I truly feel the entire experience is worth the cost.

    Lamb ribs
    Carolyn E.

    I must start off by saying, the food is great and I'm so glad they're here in Dearborn Hills. I have a feeling we will become pretty regular here. Service was great; several different people came to check on us and ask how the food was; it's great to get some constructive criticism in the beginning. I had one of their signature cocktails - a delicious martini made with all kinds of things! It was perfect and so pretty. We then had the lamb ribs, which I highly recommend. Fatty, unctious, sweet and savory. The house pickled peppers really make this dish stand out - I love them! For entrees, I had the wood-fired ribeye melt, and it's absolutely delicious. Everyone who spoke to us said it is their favorite thing on the menu, and I can see why! It's so tender and flavorful with this awesome gravy/jus type dipping sauce and tons of fries - definitely enough to share. Perfectly fried, salted and delicious. This sandwich also comes with those awesome pickled peppers and onions, and they're so good on it. Hubby had the welly napoleon, which is their take on a beef wellington type dish. Perfect mashed potatoes, savory tender beef tips and a yummy pie crust top. He said it just needed a little salt. We didn't order dessert this time, but they had some really tempting things. The only real critiques I have are about the ambiance, which can easily be remedied. The entrance and entryway need some plants, possibly, and maybe some additional signage? A lampost with a banner would be so cute. Overall at night, the lighting is too bright. Lower lighting, candles on the tables, and plants would help a ton. Right now, it's giving slight cafeteria, but that should not deter anyone from visiting for dinner. The food and service is on point; the rest is just window dressing. But I think the date night crowd would benefit from a few small changes. Looking forward to dining often. Thank you for a great date night!

    Honey chipotle chicken, Caesar salad with cornbread croutons and honey soy jerky lamb ribs
    Jackson C.

    Absolutely delightful experience all the way around! The lamb ribs were so rich in layers of flavor with jerk rub and a sticky honey soy glaze. The chicken bites were yummy crispy and the Caesar salad fresh. Loved the crunchy cornbread croutons! Equally a standout was the lovely and warm smiles and service from everyone. The golf course is a beautiful backdrop with its million dollar mansions atop the grassy hills. I felt transported to a luscious place that's right here in the area. If they keep up the exceptional service, food and ambiance, it will be no surprise awards will follow. Cheers

I can't believe the place is still here after all of these years. There are 2 types of subs here: Italian, and "Other Subs", so you know that this shop sprang from the vibrant Italian community that once populated Detroit. The Italian Subs at Gonella's are ordered according to how many layers it builds up (which I think is a unique concept). These layered Gonella Italian Subs are layered with a variety of Italian meats (Hard Salami, Salami Cotto, Mortadella, Smoked Ham and Capicola), provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions & Gonella's homemade dressing. Soft or hard roll. Extras: Peppers (+.50) Cheese (+.50) - (Turkey is reserved for the "Other Subs). 6 Layers Meat, 1 Layer Cheese --- $8 8 Layers Meat, 2 Layer Cheese --- $9 12 Layers Meat, 2 Layer Cheese --- $12 14 Layers Meat, 3 Layer Cheese --- $13 18 Layers Meat, 3 Layer Cheese --- $14 The subs are heavy and delicious.

Soft sub buns, tons of stacks of meat, lettuce and tomato or not. No one goes hungry after a sub here. Some deli spots tend to skimp on the protein, but not this place. My team members favorite is the Italian, 6 stacks. I usually will go for a turkey or chicken stack. They offer up to 18 stacks, haven't tried that yet.

Their sandwiches are crazy-expensive, especially for the quality of the turkey. It was the slimy, smooth kind, not the more dry, you-can-see-the-grain-and-taste-the-quality kind. I got turkey and cheddar and it was $15, plus adding a drink and chips was $3 more. Hubband got the turkey and ham sandwich and said the ham was excellent but had the same gripe about the low quality turkey as me. Are they big, yes? Would I rather have less meat but it be much higher quality for the same price? Also yes. Decor hasn't changed in the almost 15 years since I visited. It's clean enough but still incredibly over-crowded with too many tables and chairs. Service was friendly. Honestly, this is just so underwhelming that I'm incredibly surprised that people are excited to drop $15 on a mediocre sandwich. I'm missing something (it must be nostalgia because I didn't grow up here.)

There's a small lot but you can park right there. It's right off of Michigan Ave so you really can't miss it but it is very small so you may not know what you're looking for. Just keep an eye out for it. They do have plenty of seats but it's not a full sit-down situation so I don't make it seem like you can bring a table of 20 in . They do have seats to sit in. There are countertops you can stand at but this is more likely a quick bite or to-go kind of situation. Even though there are people who do come in for the lunch break. But it's just basically tables and it's not a lot of frills or bells and whistles but it's still enough to have a bite to eat. The customer service is super nice and I was very taken care of and everybody was super friendly. As far as that goes that is something that has no issue . I ordered and it came pretty fast within 10 minutes so that was good. The service is quick but when I went it wasn't overly packed so that probably helped. Still it was good service and swift service as well . NY club - it was actually really good. It was very large and it got me right for lunch time for quite some time. It was put together very well and it didn't fall apart as soon as I picked it up. Turkey was warm and the sandwich was put together really well and the bacon made it pop . Cajun fries - the fries were crinkle cut and they came cajun seasoned to perfection . Would I go back? I sure would. Good customer service, solid product. Next time I go I'll probably end up getting a corned beef like I wanted to in the first place...

I am not sure if they produce mass quantities of products. Some of the parties were pretty to look at.
