TL;DR- Strange. Would not return. This place is suffering from an identity crisis. Cloth napkins and water from decanters suggest an upscale intention, while Night Court playing on the TV suggests a different vibe. The menu was as equally disparate, ranging from Italian to BBQ. One thing was consistent though- laughably high prices for what ya get. The mozzarella sticks were fine though not especially hot. The accompanying sauce was fine (the descriptor of the meal: Fine.) The gnocchi with short rib ragu dish was odd. The gnocchi themselves were wonderful- clearly not store bought, fluffy and tasty. The ragu, however, was watery, with crunchy carrots and celery and oddly bitter. It needed salt and some measure of richness. I did not enjoy it at all and if you've read enough of my reviews, you know I'm not a fussy eater. Also, the portion was small for the price. J got the ribs which came with fries and slaw. The ribs weren't tender but the sauce was nice. Side note- it's awkward and messy to eat sauced ribs having only been given one cloth napkin. The cole slaw was pretty bad- it tasted like it had spoiled. Neither one of us ate more than a nibble to taste it. The fries were fine but completely unseasoned and barely warm. No salt shakers on the table so had to ask- received a little cup of loose salt. I was too discouraged to even attempt dessert. 2 sodas (neither of which were ever refilled), an app of 4 mozzarella sticks, a 1/2 rack of ribs with inedible slaw and tepid fries, and a salad bowl portion of admittedly lovely gnocchi sadly drowning in "ragu." $79 before tip. No thank you. read more

Had this place bookmarked so we have it a try with 2 kids. interesting vibe as it has a diner look but fancier farmhouse like decor. we started with arugula and beet salad with basalmic vinaigrette. Us grownups got pasta dishes, mohawk and pesto which were very good..and the kids got macaroni and cheese with fries on the side lol. kids raved about the mac & cheese. morgan was our server but the other staff were attentive and friendly too. prices a bit high and portions smaller than i'm used to but i can live with that if the food tastes good and it did. read more

I have been to Bluebird about a half dozen times, and it has always been great in terms of both food and service. In this review I want to specifically focus on the bridal shower that we held there for my sister this past September, 2024. We chose Bluebird because we liked the food and the service was always great, but we were blown away by the fantastic party Amanda and her team threw for my sister. Truly, they made everything so easy and so fun it seemed effortless - and I know it wasn't. It was their hard work that made it so. We had about 45 guests and I am still hearing, weeks later, unprompted rave reviews about how great the party was, and how it was the best shower so and so ever attended. All this is to say, I cannot recommend Bluebird enough if you are planning on hosting an event there. Amanda is a gem and if her boss is reading this, give her a raise. I would host another party at Bluebird in a heartbeat. People kept saying how they couldn't wait to go back and try it with friends and family. So, thank you Amanda, and thank you to the team at Bluebird, for what was such a memorable and amazing occasion. And if you're looking to host your party somewhere and considering Bluebird, you won't do better - they are the BEST. read more

Amazing experience. Terrific food, great team, perfect ambience. Quiet enough for a large table to hear each other but also tables spaced enough that you don't have to hear other table's convo. First class. read more

Lovely and interior Pretty quiet.,suitable for families Nice family place Mini Fried Chicken Friendly staff read more

Cesar salad was good. the salmon and burger were the worst The salmon was floating on a sea of oily " rice"? , the oily rice was gladly replaced with pile of mashed potatoes, not a serving, a pile, with a small piece of salmon. Under no circumstances would we return. Very disappointed, the manager did try to resolve these issues, however to grossed out to substitute anything else. Major issue with the credit card machine, charged twice, not accepted, successful payment with another card , checked upon arrival home , technically paid three times until this resolved. read more

We've been here a couple times now and each time it is wonderful. Recently went with a larger group which allowed us to try and share many apps and they were all so delicious- pineapple salad, cob salad, eggplant frites. The cocktails are also very good. Ive has the chicken Milanese for dinner and I love it. The service is always kind and attentive. A very good neighbor spot- happy to have it so close to home. Will be back! read more

I went here for the first time last week and I was incredibly impressed by EVERYTHING. I ate outdoors on their side terrace, and the atmosphere was great. The tables have nice umbrellas that keep them from getting too hot and create some nice shade. If you prefer to eat indoors, then you're in luck with that as well; the interior was clean and had a sleek design that created a nice atmosphere. I would classify the overall "category" of the food served here as "New American." It is very diverse and with many influences from all over the world, too! The service was fabulous. The wait staff were incredibly courteous and patient, and the quality of the food matched the atmosphere and feel of the entire restaurant. I came for brunch, and ordered the avocado toast which came topped with radishes, micro greens, onions and caviar. I also added smoked salmon. The piece of sourdough toast was generously piled with avocado and the other toppings and kept me very full and satisfied. I'm definitely going to return sometime for dinner, as my first experience here was flawless! read more

Bluebird Kitchen - Avocado Toast which I had when I was here. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Bellmore, New York

Visited this new spot 3 days after the grand opening. First impressions: ample parking lot, beautiful outdoor murals, warm welcoming entrance, custom branded matchbooks at hostess stand, and overall amazing decor. We chose to sit at the bar. The "DON'T STOP BELIEVING" cocktail was perfectly balanced and exactly what was expected . Started with the app of zucchini/eggplant chips and spicy avocado hummus. Delicious, crispy, VERY creamy hummus (but not spicy). Wish the portion was a little larger, but overall no complaints. Moved straight on to dessert of BANANA CREAM PIE. While we were waiting for our dessert, we noticed many people ordering the Chocolate Chip Cookies, which were plated beautifully with the cutest little glass of milk. The banana cream pie had a natural banana flavor and the chocolate sauce underneath was a perfect touch. We also ordered espresso martinis, which the bartender did not hesitate to make for us. When our check came out (which was served on the cutest postcard, with the signature Bluebird branding), the manager also came over and asked us about our dining experience. No complaints and very happy with our experience so early on in their introduction to the neighborhood. This place will be a hit with locals and people looking for a fresh new spot to add into their dinner rotation. Excited to watch the growth of their menu, staff, and overall vibe. Ps. If you thought the interior decor was cute... check out the bathroom. read more

Dining Area. Very clean and aesthetically pleasing. The food is well prepared and fresh. The waitstaff was attentive. This is our second trip to Bluebird and that chicken sandwich did not disappoint. Juicy Burger and fresh cut fries. Got an ice cold beer on draft and split a delicious dessert. Recommend this place for a brunch with the ladies or even a date. We will return!!! read more

Great service, delicious food... a little steep in price but well worth it. I need at least 85 words so the ambiance was amazing!!

I visited bluebird twice and really enjoyed the food the food so far. My favorite has been the pineapple straciatella salad, truly a divine dish, and the huge chicken milanese thats perfectly crispy. The creme brulee pancakes were a bit of a miss for me in terms of actually being brulee'd, but they tasted good. I've also tried the chicken sandwich and the short rib benedict, good tasting but not my favorite. The cocktails are also great!! read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside but it has a really cool vibe. Great cocktails and a nice menu with some shareables. The chicken parm and lobster mac and cheese were phenomenal. So were the choco chip cookies and brownie cheesecake. read more

Fabulous food Fabulous servers Excellent party planner Had my daughter's bridal shower at Bluebird Kitchen and could not have been happier!! Excellent service. Beautiful decor!!! read more

Great large space. The cocktails were good and there is a cool bar and outdoor space. The Brussel sprouts were delicious and so was the Cod. Some homemade items on the menu for a plus, and seems they have healthy options for cooking. I will try to come back for brunch to try. read more

The food was decent at best. The time they took to turn out 3 orders to go was nearly 40 minutes. On a Wednesday afternoon. I finished the call by 105pm. I didn't get my food until 145pm. It wasn't even busy inside. The hostess was nice and accommodating. Update: the chicken parm was dry and the bottom was hard and slightly burnt. My kids couldn't even eat it read more

Ordered take out and the menu is inclusive with a lot of options... portions were okay food was good

Went here on my graduation day. Food was slow and expensive, but wow, did the taste and quality overcompensate for the fact that it took so long and its price. It was very good. Employees often engaged with their customers. Lighting was nice, everything looked very clean and fancy. Needless to say, you should eat here if you have the time and money. read more

Been here for both lunch and dinner and I love it. I love that the menu isn't overwhelming and they instead nail on their dishes well. The drinks were fantastic as well. It's definitely big but the service was right on top of it regardless of it being a Saturday night rush last time we were there. They have items clearly marked as Gluten Free and knowledgeable when talking that the need is due to Celiac allergy as opposed to just a dietary preference. I'm a fan and will keep coming back read more

I've been wanting to try Bluebird now for a bit I'm glad we stopped in and had dinner. The food was delicious , great cocktails too. We started with the pigs in blankets so good with everything bagel seeds. I ordered the chicken Melanzane it was crispy and had a nice amount of salad on top. My girlfriend ordered the skirt steak which was cooked perfectly. The only issue we had was that the service was spotty Took a good 10 minutes for anyone to come to our table to take drink orders and appetizers. When we finished our meal check was brought to the table without being asked for it. I would have checked out the dessert menu or had an after dinner drink, but it didn't seem like that was an option . I get that they want to turn over the tables but at least give the option if we want to order deseert. I'll return regardless of the spotty service since the food and drinks had been good. Highly recommend reservations since place does get busy read more

Awesome place for lunch, dinner and drinks! Love the decor, it's certainly a gem! Service is always great.

Let me tell you. I've been to Bluebird a couple of times, and have been happy. Not thrilled or blown away but happy. The other day I went and ordered the Greek Burger. Best I've had in years. The lamb was so juicy, they give you a real slice of feta (not crumbles) and the tang from the pickled red onions....it hit all the notes. Service is always great. Wish they'd extend or change up their appetizers and dessert options. Also, drinks are not cheap but they do not skimp on the alcohol. You will get your moneys worth. read more

My wife and I have been coming here for awhile. We don't write many reviews but we feel this restaurant is definitely worth the effort. First off they have a happy hour from 4 to 6 that includes some of the same appetizers on the main menu but at reduced prices. They even have Prosecco on tap as well. During a recent visit they put a new version of their NY Strip that included caulilini which is a sweet baby cauliflower - picture included. This was a nice change of pace from our usual sandwich or burger routine. We can recommend those as well. Other recommendations are the squash salad, the broccolini and Nonna Pie - get it with honey! Pictures included as well. You'll find that the menu prices are just moderately above the chain restaurants such as TGI Fridays but well in line with those of the local dining establishments. Well worth it in our opinion. And finally we've had great service by all of the staff who have served us. I'm told they can also do parties on site as well. read more

Truly lovely place, plenty of parking, they even have outdoor seating with umbrellas and heaters, inside the place is spotless, I don't know how they keep the place so clean lol, they have a full-service bar, the decor is quite nice, as for the food very delicious, Well they desserts even the ice cream is homemade, portions are generous prices I just right , the chicken Milanese was outstanding, One of the best I've ever had, my plan was initially to try everything and take the rest home but I finished that meal, Tara our server was outstanding, very friendly and brought the dishes the way we wanted it, no complaints no send backs ...the pulled pork sandwich was the best , Almost like going to a barbecue place, it had just the right amount of bourbon to it,, overall a wonderful experience read more

The first time I went, I had no complaints. However, when I went today for lunch, it took forever to get my food; so much so I had to put my burger directly into a to-go box. I have no issue with the server/bartender I had, and the Mac & Cheese I did get to eat was very good. But seeing how, as far as I could tell, I was the only one there for the bulk of the time I was at the place, there is no excuse for my food taking so long. read more

What a nice place. Staff was great, food was fantastic and drinks very nice. The venue is load but only because everyone is having a great time. Aps very tasty with Cucumber and eggplant frites and dinner rolls. Espresso martini a Mule both great. Dinner was super delicious, branzini was amazing and risotto would make Ramsey proud. You got to have the oversized cookies and Sunday where great to share. Portion were modest but quality over quantity. Price was $$$ but worth it. read more

We had my daughters baby shower here with 64 guests in attendance. Amanda was amazing in helping us coordinate everything. We chose a brunch style and every dish served family style. The presentation and food was amazing. Our mixologist made some of the most amazing cocktails and accommodated every individual taste as well as pleasantly surprised many of the guests with some over the top cocktails. It was amazing to get wonderful feedback from all our guests complimenting the party as one of the best showers they've attended. The room and ambiance of bluebird is so bright and uplifting. I highly recommend for anyone looking to host an event. You will not be disappointed read more

I just hosted an event at Bluebird Kitchen this past weekend, and was so thrilled with my experience. The food is excellent (such a unique menu - a nice change from all of the monotonous Italian food of the South Shore), the service was attentive but not intrusive, and the atmosphere is so cute and calm. I have hosted a few events at restaurants in the area over the years, and this was by far my favorite experience. I can't recommend Bluebird Kitchen for an event enough! It's also wonderful for a weekend brunch or a weeknight/weekend dinner. read more

Excellent food and service!! My friends and I will go to theater in NYC and then come back out to Bluebird for dinner. Everything I've had has been delicious and has a special twist to make it memorable!! read more

This has become a new neighborhood favorite. I liked it just by the name of it, and then the decor with the blue booths, open airy high ceilings made it homey and cute like you're in a good friend's kitchen. The first time we went was the night of superbowl , and maybe because it was a quiet night or this is typical, but as I ordered my cocktail the waiter said it was ladies night!- sweet deal. I'd love to know when those specials are now, if any. Their mac and cheese is one of my faves of all time (and trust me I've tried a LOT of mac!). Their crispy chicken was good but def has a kick with that hot honey. Pulled pork was satisfying. Haven't had their gnocchi in a bit so I'll have to go back for it. What's nice is they are on DoorDash, so we can have a date night there or some nights with no babysitter just order date night here. Whenever I go back I will guarantee I'll get the mac but I def have to try their dessert too. read more

Good food. Good service. Great drinks. Highly recommend. I went there with my wife for lunch and they have a lovely selection. Their signature drinks are always movie themes which I appreciate and I loved their old fashion when I went recently with friends for dinner. They also take hospitality seriously. As a former general manager of hotels in the city, these people know their stuff. read more

Since we heard such good things from people about BlueBird. We decided tried Bluebird Kitchen for Easter Brunch. I did make a reservation 10 days before through their website. When we arrived, they could not find our 1:00 reservation. I did have a confirmation info & was reminded about my reservation twice on Sunday. The woman at the front desk was very nice and said to just wait a moment she would definitely find a seat for us. Our server Chase was excellent. He brought things before we needed to ask. We Started with brioche garlic & herb rolls,Honey Chedder biscuits,zucchini & eggplant frites. Then had Buttermilk pancakes,Chicken & waffles,The Bluebird burger (short rib,chuck,brisket blend). Everything was delicious & the whole staff very friendly & efficient. We will definitely be back!! read more

Been there a few times now. Always delicious, whether it's lunch, dinner, take out. Wine list is decent, don't mind ordering off it. Food is exceptionally prepared in a relaxed yet upscale environment. Kids are welcomed but need to behave. Bar looks upscale. Good for a date night, girls night out, the boys want to go drink good booze and a family dinner. Very versatile. Lovely place. Can't wait to go back. Service is impeccable and attentive. read more

Bluebird Kitchen had decent food but slow and inattentive service on a Saturday night. Our table of four all got drinks and split the mac and cheese and pizza to start. The mac and cheese was epic. The pizza was just alright but everyone else loved it. Look, it had some great bread but it wasn't out of this world. Then we got our main courses. I got the Bronzino with quinoa. The fish had a nice char to it. We also split a side of Brussel sprouts that were excellent. We didn't stay for dessert because we didn't want to wait for the slow service. I highly recommend going to this place on a week day night when it's not so busy. The parking was fine. I'd give this place another shot. read more

Have been here 5 times - food is excellent and interesting. Bar has interesting menu as well. Service ? Not five stars. Had to practically fire up a flare to get a second drink and then the server politely dropped the check on our table and two next to us when we had all just finished eating main entrees. Was Bizzare. We all started laughing and though we were on candid camera. No offer to see a desert menu or coffee to all there couples ? I know it was a Saturday nite and they want to turn the tables but we were there literally 45 min maybe. Was an odd experience. read more

Went last night ! The atmosphere looks like an identity crisis The pigs in the blanket were tasty (hot dogs a little undercooked ) , gnocchi and short rib lacked flavor , the Brussel sprouts were amazing as well as the Bronzino and warm chocolate chip cookies The bread is very good but very odd and restaurant the charges for bread and butter Little pricey but over not terrible read more

Overpriced and overwhelmingly "meh". Service is adequate but the food is resoundingly mediocre.
