    Very average place. I can't read what this place is trying to be. The menu is super small. It feels like it's more of a cocktail drinking place than actually good food. I got the gnocchi. Rosa and the noodles felt super soft. I also don't like a red sauce with gnocchi normally and this confirmed that belief. I feel like gnocchi should always be with pesto. $22 for hardly any pasta and hardly any flavor. The sauce, though it was red was creamy And tasty. The staff is very kind and attentive. They always served us. Our waters on time. Nice seating inside. Nice lighting and big windows. Not a ton of places to seat.

    Been here a few times and always good. Highly recommend the crudo and the beef tartare. Pastas change from time to time. The Agnolotti

    This place was a perfect place for a few appetizers on the go. We got fried chicken and fries and were super pleased by everything. The staff was kind, we could tell our server wanted us to order more food and get drinks. We aren't the type to get drinks usually, just water. But, with his persuasion we got a non-alcoholic mojito. It wasn't our favorite, kinda tasted watered down. But the place is gorgeous and has a really cute inside. Definitely a good place for some wine and freinds!

    Didn't like this spot very much, it was super overpriced and food was mediocre. The servers were nice and friendly, and it was easy to get seated on a Friday night but the only thing I really liked was the complimentary focaccia bread and the farro salad. We also had the Tuscan fried chicken, hand cut fries, gnocchi and saffron cavatelli, which were all okay. The olive oil cake was not as good as other ones I've had so would pass on this place.

    Enjoyed a dish from each section of the menu and was pleased until the mains! My friend knew the chef personally and was gifted the new pasta dish and the amazing arancini! Aside from the mains being unpleasantly small everything tastes amazing! Love how the chef has created a menu thats very cohesive! The lovely server was kind, attentive and very friendly! The cocktails I personally wouldn't get again but were very refreshing. Dessert was delicious!

    A friend and I made 8pm reservations for dinner at Charlie Bird this past Sunday evening. It's a cozy, semi-romantic, chic spot with great energy and a delicious small menu. We tried the raw oysters (super fresh), the Saffron Cavatelli (just the right amount of heat and a layered, complex flavor), the Gnocchi Rosa, and the Chocolate Budino for dessert (which was yummy enough that we ordered a second helping). I enjoyed a Soho Rickey off of their cocktail menu, as well. The servers were so sweet and welcoming. The music wasn't too loud, and we had an overall positive experience. I have already referred Charlie Bird to a few friends.

    Charlie Bird has a great summer terrace to sit and relax. The world goes by when you sit and listen to hip hop. The menu is unique and leans towards Italian flavors. Although they had fried chicken on the small plates. There was a fusion happening for sure. We ordered a burratta with peaches as our starter. It was delicious! My favorite part of the meal! The service was quick and not rushed. The seating outside is by far the best option.

    This place is cute and pretty spacious, great for larger groups. Their Monday burger and martini special for $30 is a steal! Separately, martinis are $15 and burgers are $20 on Mondays. I had the 50/50 martini and it was delicious. We also had sides of broccoli rabe and cauliflower. The food was good, but not exceptional.

    Food was delicious. We had the crudo tasting, farro salad, tagliatelle, fries and pork chop. Delicious flavors and great service.

    They say that their plates are designed to share, but honestly the portions are small, and you would need 3 pastas and some small plates or a large plate to fill up 3 people. The menu is very small, and changes from time to time Each of the pastas will come with some chili oil and it is such a good combination, but I didn't feel that the pasta itself was anything special. I would come back only for the chili oil combo with the pasta The Foccocia bread is great, and good to snack on while you wait since it takes a bit of time for the pasta/mains to come out

    Bubbles

    For the price point, the food wasn't worth it. It came cold too! The service was great & the place a a nice cool vibe but really not worth $400 meal! I ordered the $17 bubbles & later my girlfriend asked for a taster of a different kind. The server was nice enough to give me a taste too & then decided to switch it without letting me know! This new bubbles was $28 a glass! Yikes! I wasn't very pleased at the end of the night when I found out he had switched without letting me know!

    What is the difference between patio and sidewalk patio seating? Which one is covered?

    The patio is fully covered/mostly enclosed. Some of the sidewalk patios are covered by an awning but for the most part are exposed to the elements.

I came here to throw down on some seafood and that's exactly what we did. I found out about this place because one of my favorite TikTok foodies posted that she came here when she was visiting from Chicago. It was also my friend's birthday so we figured we'd check it out. If you come with a group of 4 or more, including the birthday person, they eat for free, which is a pretty nice perk. This place lived up to every bit of the hype. We did the $125 option which includes lobster. If you have people in your group who are on the fence about spending the extra money, just remind them it's only about $35 more and that's basically the cost of one lobster anywhere else. Here you're getting unlimited lobster. The food literally just kept coming. At one point we were running out of room on the table. One thing I really appreciated was that the staff noticed and started putting multiple items on the same plates instead of bringing everything out separately. It sounds small but it actually helped a lot and showed they were paying attention. The drinks weren't super strong but they definitely weren't weak either. If you love seafood, come hungry and bring a group. The vibes were great, the service was on point, and we left absolutely stuffed.

Our favorite of the night was definitely the pork cheek starter though, so tender, juicy, and flavorful - a must order for sure. Complementary shrimp chips were pretty stale unfortunately, so that's something that could be improved upon. Portions are quite big! We took leftovers home for lunch during the week. Service was attentive, would love to come back with a larger group some time to try more things on the menu.

To order, you fill out a paper sheet for the raw bar items and place a separate order in the back for kitchen fare. Every time I've been here, the seafood has been incredibly fresh and delicious. It's definitely not cheap though and our most recent meal came out to almost $500 after tip. We ordered: - 2 bread bowl NE clam chowders ($15 ea)--delicious and hearty. The peasant loaf bread was fine and everyone enjoyed it - 6oz lobster roll ($38)--a delicious cold lobster roll with a mayo-based sauce, great flavor, and a soft buttery bun - 20 oysters ($3.75 ea)--all fresh and delicious, primarily East Coast oysters although they occasionally have some West Coast ones. Fisher's Island was akin to drinking straight sea water - 5 Peruvian scallops--small and sweet with a strawberry sauce - 2 California uni ($19 ea)--one was incredibly sweet, clean tasting, and much better than the other, which was slightly more bitter and minerally - 2 diver scallops ($15 ea)--drizzled with olive oil, yuzu, and sea salt - 8 shrimp cocktail ($3.25 ea)--one of the most unworth things I've tried in recent times because the shrimp was so cold it tasted barely thawed and was watery with almost no flavor You order at the counter or via paper ticket and they bring everything to your table.

The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.
