Doughbird somehow strikes the perfect balance between "so you're saying there's a chance" and "damn, now I'm married with three kids." And honestly, that's what makes this place so good. My wife and I can escape for a date night and enjoy mozzarella sticks, buffalo wings, pizza, and a couple hours of uninterrupted conversation. On another night, we can bring the kids along and have an equally enjoyable family dinner. Doughbird somehow manages to cater to both vibes, and it does so exceptionally well. The food consistently delivers. The service has always been on point. The atmosphere is bright, vibrant, and welcoming without feeling overwhelming. Some restaurants are good because of the food. Some are good because of the atmosphere. Doughbird stands out because it successfully does both while fitting into different seasons of life. An exceptional restaurant and one that my family will continue to return to.

Food: 6/5 I ordered the Black Truffle Mushroom Pizza,…read moreDetroit-Style. The crust was amazing. Crispy edges, salty cheese crust and pillowy middle. The toppings were succulent and flavorful. Service: 4/5 The server was nice and provided good service. Even when the other person didn't like their food, he offered to compensate the meal and exchange it for a different dish. Ambiance: 5/5 Nice decor, lighting and vibe inside the restaurant. It was nice because the kitchen had glass windows where you could see what they were cooking. Overall, worth a visit for the pizza, silly the Detroit-Style. I can't wait to return.

As in my past reviews, the food here is impeccable. This time I tried the halibut plate again, and…read moreonce again, it did not disappoint. The portion was generous enough for me to take some home, and the asparagus was a perfect complement to the halibut and risotto. Shout out to Lady's! If you are looking for a great place to enjoy good food, good drinks, and good conversation, Tuesday Wendsdays Ladies' Night is the place to be. It is a perfect way to break up the middle of the week with girlfriends. Let's face it, caviar, champagne, or a martini is not a bad way to start a meal. For the price and quality, you really can't go wrong. The staff are amazing, the atmosphere is hospitable, and the vibe is cool, low-key, and relaxed. I also appreciate that there are no TVs, which definitely leads to better conversations. Once again, highest reviews from me.

Their cocktail menu is really fun too if that's what you're looking for, definitely a fun place to drink. It's got a dark vibe interior and was pretty lively. The parking lot behind is $23 minimum so make sure to look for street parking when you're driving in. We ordered a few things but my favorite was probably the ceviche or the Caesar, both were well dressed and I kept reaching for them. Honestly, all the food here was really great and came out so quick I was very happy. Unfortunately I ordered a Diet Coke that never came, but to be fair I did it after everyone had already gotten their drinks, and the server wasn't ready to write it down. Something that really bothered us though was when we asked the server if they do anything for birthdays and they said yes. We received two different desserts and were really happy until we got the bill and realized we were charged for one of them. We would've been fine without dessert and definitely didn't ask them to bring out two, so that was a little upsetting.

The food was absolutely delicious, loved the bar apps and the mushrooms.

The inside has a few cozy tables but the outside patio stole the show. I loved the open concept & it felt perfectly comfortable with the misters even on a hot day. You place your order at the window outside and they bring the food right out to your table. They even thoughtfully offer mosquito repellent and water to help yourself too. Food wise the stand out star was their bread. It was soft, warm & oh so delicious. We had both the Burrata and a Flatbread. We finished everything with a happy belly. This is easily one of my new favorite spots & I will certainly be back here again soon.

Everything married so well and the crispy crunchy battered chicken was like music in my mouth.

Very on top of it with timing, service, knowledge of food, etc. I wanted to try the chopped salad everyone raved about.

Then we shared their filet with mashed potatoes and charred broccoli. . Hubby and I both said "yummmmy" Finished with the dessert of the night.

I mean really, did the chef put any salt and pepper on the flesh side of the salmon or did he/she only season the skin side? For the love of God...put some salt on both sides and please only cook it to medium! Just my two cents! I hope management reads this because I'll be returning to The Gladly with a large group of friends in February and we've selected salmon as one of the choices for our group meal. I hope and pray the fish will be cooked properly with seasoning please! Okay, I'm done talking about the salmon! The Chopped Salad was good and the spinach dip was very good! My spicy margarita was also top notch! However, the salmon left a bad taste in my mouth!

First, the young man at the counter of this Roosevelt Row place is a joy! So helpful and friendly…read more It seems like he really likes where he works and the food that serve. When you walk in there is a large photo of a Mafia guy--definitely sticks with the theme of this place. There is a small dining room with a huge photo of their food truck, where it all started in Chicago. There is also a cute neon "gangster." We ordered an American Burger, a Shroom Burger, and a Big Mack salad (chopped lettuce dressed with thousand Island, topped with two hamburger patties, cheese, pickle, and sesame seeds). We really liked the burgers and salad a lot. The buns are so good. We got fries, and they were nothing to write home about. Drinks are sold in the can, and there is a big variety to choose from. The menu here is quite large and there is plenty to choose from, no matter what you're in the mood for. FYI--they win 2025 Best of The Valley!

Like some other reviews, with it not being busy at all, the staff was very attentive, almost a little too attentive with trying to clear plates when we were still eating, but that's not a real complaint. Onto the food, 10/10, most interesting and scrumptious food I've enjoyed in a while! The Dry Aged Beef Carpaccio was DELICIOUS, I easily ate it by myself. For an entree I got the Chitarra Clam Pasta, it had a really delicious light white sauce, and it was a delight to eat. The pasta itself was cooked well, the clams seemed fine, and the flavors were great. For dessert, two of us split the Brown Butter Cake, and because there was no menu we didn't realize it would be $17, but in the end it was worth it. The cake was topped with ice cream and there was caramel drizzled across the dish, really delicious and more impressive than I would've expected. Overall staff was friendly, didn't need to make a reservation, and the food was mind blowing.

If the weather permits, there is a very nice patio but it is along Camelback and the parking lot. Just a heads up, Tesota does not take reservations so plan accordingly. We started at the bar with dirty martinis. Our bartender Taylor was pleasant and followed our instructions on how we like the martinis prepared. They were both icy cold and to the rim. The restaurant was packed and Taylor handled to orders like a true pro. Impressive. Monica the hostess escorted us to our table when available. She was very pleasant as well. We sat at Eric's table who is simply outstanding. Very friendly, efficient and walked us through the menu and answered any questions. I ordered the Salumi pizza -$15 hot coppa . calabrese salumi . serrano jamon . rosemary . calabrian chili. Finally a restaurant that makes a crispy and flavorful pizza! It was delicious.
