We were a party of 12 looking for a place with appetizers on Friday at 4PM. The Lady Bird manager Scott managed to fit us in! The service was great and the food was perfect. We are very appreciative of Scott's efforts to seat us. read more

Lady Bird is easily one of my favorite spots. The Happy Hour is absolutely the way to go, and the food is outstanding. The Fluff Head mushroom pizza is incredible--perfectly cooked with amazing flavor, and one of the best mushroom pizzas I've had. The burrata with peaches is another must-order. The combination of creamy burrata and sweet, fresh peaches is simple but unforgettable. The atmosphere is welcoming, the service is always great, and every visit has been consistently excellent. I can't recommend Lady Bird enough. I'll definitely be back. read more

Father's Day dinner courtesy of my sons, so I was predisposed to be appreciative. As it turns out the establishment is truly excellent regardless of the occasion. We each had a couple of fabulous, well put together cocktails, some appetizers, and our respective entrees. I had the pork chop which was, quite simply, one of the best things I have ever eaten. Marvelously tasty pork with mashed potatoes and a delicious mix of corn, sashimi peppers and spiced nuts. Outrageously good. One slight issue with the server being a little bit petulant when my older son was asking for a particular drink of his own choosing. In an establishment like this, the staff should not get irritated when requests are made by customers. But - other than that one really very slight issue - it was an outstanding experience. read more

Came here for the 3-5pm happy hour. Plenty dishes to choose from their menu, and we settled with wood-fired asparagus, Mafaldine 'Cacio e Pepe, and a glass of stateliness red. Both the foods and drinks were decent, the staff were pleasant and attentive. Parking was easy on a Thursday afternoon. read more

Stopped in here for dinner while traveling through Bend in October. We sat at the bar and ordered some delicious cocktails and some oysters to start. Then we got a pizza and the gnocchi to share as our entrees. Really enjoyed the conversations with the bartenders and their attentiveness. The restaurant is very nicely decorated to the point that when I walked in wearing a hoodie and shorts I wondered if I was under-dressed, but it didn't seem to be an issue at all. We'd definitely come back again if in the area. read more

What a wonderful evening at Lady Bird. Sat outside, listened to the concert music coming from Hayden Homes Amphitheater , just across the river. The food was out of this world. I had a great pizza with balsamic, fig, cheese and arugula on top. All staff were exceptional. Really appreciate the good service from Joe and Isla. Scott the manager was very friendly and accommodating. This is on my 'A list" read more

Such a unique dining ambiance here in Bend. After being on the road from Medford, Lady Bird Cultural Society was a great place for my friends and I to unwind and dine. For starters we had their Bird's Nest, Woodfired Oysters, and Bone Marrow. We absolutely loved their Bird's Nest and is a must when you are here. My friends and I shared our entrees and each dish was absolutely delicious. We loved the Campanelle especially with its bite-sized pancetta. The balsamic beef short rib was slow cooked to perfection as the meat simply melted in my mouth. And whatever you do, do not skip out on the dessert. Their Pear Tarte with the ice cream was perfection. Just the perfect treat to end our meal. Best believe we will be back. read more

Unimpressed. Loved the interior, the drinks were fine, the brussel sprouts were good...but service is what makes a spot and a cute interior can't make up for lack of good service. We were seated at the low seats at the bar but weren't given menus, so I had to walk up to the hostess stand for them after waiting for a decent amount of time. The red-headed bartender/server tried to walk away after taking our drink order and had to stop him from walking away to order food. There were no check-ins at the table, a hostess walked around once filling everyone's water but that was it (so we had empty water for about half the time we were there), I had to flag down the bartender by staring at him from across the bar to get his attention for a check, once I got the check he again tried to immediately walk off even though I had the card & wallet on the table and nearly immediately put it in the book, and in general he was not amiable. I actually asked my friend after the first interaction of 'do you think he's having a bad day or hates it here?'. Lastly, the oysters are listed as 'oysters' with no description but they are not normal oysters - they have green vinaigrette, some roe type orange topping, and personally weren't enjoyable. 2.5 for service and not listing ingredients. 3 because the brussel sprouts and drinks. read more

A great place in Mill District to get delicious seasonally rotating cocktails. The pizzas are very good and the staff is amazing. Scott even remembered us (probably more our dogs) from a previous visit. The outdoor seating is very comfy, ask to sit in Scott's section and you'll be well taken care of. read more

My sister and I are visiting from out of town and had ladybird recommended to us. I am so grateful for that recommendation because we had an amazing time. The food was excellent. The service was excellent. We loved the decor! Bryan provided the best service I've experienced. His recommendations were spot on. This is now our favorite restaurant and we can't wait to visit again and go back. read more

Update- I gave the pizza another shot and it was so good. If you look at both my pics, you can see that it was way overcooked the first time. So now we (and you) know that the pizza should be super good and if it looks like my fluff head photo, ask for a new one! read more

Mediocre service and mediocre food for a relatively high price point. I dined here as part of a large bridal party and was left disappointed. The pizza was all right and the short ribs were pretty okay. My frustration is with the service we received. We were given an extra entree, and when I informed our waitress of the mistake, she began to argue with us and said, "Well I guess it's yours now". It later showed up on our bill. For this nice of a restaurant, I was extremely surprised by this response. read more

This is more of a 4.5 review than a true 4. We enjoyed a very nice meal here. The interior has a bit of a speakeasy vibe, all black and white, brass and acrylic. Not sure about the decor, but the food and service were very good. We started with both regular bread with roasted garlic (I could have eaten a bowl full of the garlic. A perfect smear for the bread.) and gluten free bread with what tasted like salted butter brushed on top. The GF option is their pizza crust and it is very good, a little chewy, a little crispy. We moved on to the yellowtail crudo and a little gem salad. My only knock against the salad was it could use more orange sections. The orange really cut through the heaviness of the cheese, a nice bite of sweet and acid. For our entree we shared the 14 ounce prime rib, medium rare. It came with cheesy polenta, roasted mushrooms, asparagus in a port (?) sauce. Good quality and definitely more than enough to share. Alas, we were too full for dessert. Our server was attentive but unobtrusive. It was a fairly quiet week night, but I was impressed with the quality of the service and the meal. read more

Great vibes and menu! Excellent cocktails, apps, pizza, entrees. Good happy hour too!

The crab cake was a masterpiece--perfectly crafted, delicate, and free of the over-salted heaviness that often mars such dishes. Paired with a vibrant pomegranate salad, the flavors danced harmoniously. The decor was stunning, a blend of timeless elegance and modern luxury, with plush seating that invites you to linger. The service staff radiated warmth and attentiveness, and the menu offered a symphony of unique, flavorful dishes. This is New American cuisine at its finest, served in a setting that feels like The Great Gatsby reimagined--sophisticated yet inviting, with a wood-fire oven and a crackling fireplace that added both warmth and charm to the cool ambiance. My sister couldn't wait to introduce me to this gem, and it exceeded every expectation. read more

Besides having the coolest name of any restaurant in Bend, with honorable mention to Spork, LBCS lives up to all the hype of over the top name. I can't tell you anything about the origin of the name using the journalist questions (who, what, why etc.) but maybe that's something for you to discover while contemplating the delicious bread appetizer. Yes, order the bread appetizer because it's really not simply bread. It's something else completely from someone who has quite an imagination. Pull apart bread with what I believed to be burrata and some garlic. No, not that kinda garlic, the kind that is cooked down slowly and with patience to make that sweet and creamy thing transformed from what comes from the clove itself. Did I forget to mention the aged pecorino? It is dusted with aged pecorino! Also, I highly recommend the scallops. Absolutely the best scallops. Cast iron seared which accounts for the nice color on the top and bottom of the scallop. There are some other flavors which I don't have the foodie knowledge but I do know that it all equals amazing. Other menu items are also very enticing so I will be back ASAP to try some other interesting flavor combinations coming from the wizards in the kitchen at Lady Bird! Well done, and keep up the amazing work and the impeccable service! read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. I love the aesthetics, and the restaurant was incredibly clean. The service I got was pretty mediocre, and the guy looked like he didn't want to be there. In their defense, I will say I only ordered pizza here, and it was just OK. I went here on a Thursday night because I was told I could get a really good pizza here. So let me start off my review by saying all I tasted was the pizza, and nothing else. Some of the food that came out of that kitchen looked incredible, but again all I had was pizza. I was immediately greeted and sat down by a kind hostess. I was very excited to try this place, but all that kind of went out the window when the server came up to our table and began talking to us. I tried to ask questions about the pizza, and his answers were curt and basic platitudes. I couldn't tell if he didn't want to interact with me, or just didn't know anything. When me and my friend said we just wanted pizza, and nonalcoholic drinks, he just kind of took our order, and then disappeared. He never once refilled my drink, nor did he try to have any real meaningful conversation with me. When he came back to ask how the meal was, I said it was just OK, and he walked away without saying anything. Again, just really bad for a server. Let's get into the pizza. I will say, that I am very tough on pizza because of the amount of pizzerias I've reviewed, and also the amount of time I've spent making pizzas. Let's talk about flavor, this pizza was absolutely delicious. I ordered something called the Scarlet fire. Olive oil, mozzarella, sopressata, roasted tomatoes, ricotta, and hot honey. You could tell the ingredients fresh, and everything really worked. So I absolutely loved the flavors. But the execution was a little rough. First off, the dough was tasty for a one day fermentation (waiter told me dough was made fresh daily). However, whoever was stretching, really didn't stretch the dough out enough. I had places where the pizza was so thick, that the dough didn't get a chance to properly cook or rise. Unfortunately, this created a perfectly beautiful exterior, but a very gummy, thick, and wetter interior. The second problem was the overall soggy of the pizza. I couldn't tell if this came from the roasted tomato, a wetter sauce, or someone being heavy handed on the olive oil. I did notice that the overall pizza was pretty oily. Any number of these things could've caused the wet soggy pizza I experienced and that was only made worse, by the thick crust that didn't seem to cook all the way through. All in all, this place was OK. And everyone seemed to be enjoying the other food. So maybe I just ordered wrong. read more

This place is PHENOMENAL!!! Great atmosphere- spectacular food. I have been there three times and have yet to eat something that I haven't loved.

We stumbled upon Lady Bird during happy hour and were so glad we did--what a gem! We sat at the bar and started with cocktails: I had a cosmo and my husband ordered an old fashioned--both were crafted perfectly. We also shared the Bird's Nest appetizer, and wow--absolutely delicious. It set the tone for the rest of the meal. For our entrees, I had the Fluff Head pizza with added sausage, and it was amazing. The flavors were bold and balanced, and the crust was perfect. My husband ordered a different pizza off the regular menu and was just as impressed with his. The ambiance was upscale yet inviting, with classy black and gold decor that made it feel like the perfect date night spot. Everyone we encountered was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely a place we'll be coming back to! read more

Service was great, food was fantastic. Cocktails yummy. Atmosphere was gorgeous. A really nice fine-dining experience!

During our visit to Bend, we had a delightful dinner at Lady Bird! We sampled a variety of cocktails, appetizers, and entrees. While we love bread, it would have been nice if the apps were portioned without it for those who prefer different options (such as the She Devils and beef Tartare could be with a crisp). On the plus side, the entrees were fantastic, particularly the beef short ribs and scallops. Other entrees however, the duck was slightly overcooked, and the steak, ordered rare, lacked a little flavor. Overall, it's a great spot for drinks and dinner with friends. Our service was amazing and the ambiance is relaxing. read more

So disappointed. I'd heard good things about Lady Bird, especially the pizza. My wife and I had eaten pizza a couple of days ago so we decided to pass on the pizza. We ordered the carrots to split and we both ordered the carbonara. The carrots lacked carrot flavor, but the cheese with mint and other additions made the dish a winner. The carbonara was another story. It was the worst we've ever tried to eat - neither of us could finish it. Carbonara is supposed to be parm cheesy and egg yolk rich In flavor, yet not overwhelming heavy. Lady Bird's interpretation lacked cheesy richness and flavor. Instead, it was swimming in oil. Where was the cheese? where was the flavor? It was gross and expensive. after eating a bit, you feel like you need a shower to wash off the grease. I feel ripped off. Maybe we'll give pizza a try - the carrots promised potential. Oh, the service was underwhelming. The support folks were great - keeping water glass full and clearing plated promptly. The waiter was slow to show up to get drinks started a after we were seated (10 minutes), returned to inquire on the meal after it was over, and never checked in to see if we wanted a second round of wine. We did, but never got a chance to order it. read more

Went here last night with a large group for dinner for the first time. The service was great and the food did not disappoint. Highly recommend the beef short ribs.

A must visit in Bend. Excellent drinks, gorgeous interior and incredible food. My husband and I enjoy eating vegetarian meals and this place delivers. Creative menu, great for a special occasion. They also have a great happy hour menu. The mushroom pizza is incredible. The Lemon Drop is wonderful. John the chef is so talented and we have had wonderful service from the front of the house- Alexis, Amanda and Anthony is a top notch bartender. The Old Mill location is easy walking distance to the Box Factory and about a mile to downtown. Put this on your Central Oregon bucket list. read more

we have dined at Lady Bird before and enjoyed the food and the ambiance but the last time was disappointing. it took quite a while to get our drinks ordered and when we finally got them we placed our dinner orders. Before we had finished our drinks all of the food was on the table, appetizers, salad and main course. Needless to say, it greatly diminished our experience. Our server did offer us free dessert, but the dinner was ruined. read more

We had a reservation and were sat in the back room. The service was awful. There were only 4 tables back there and we were ignored for almost 30 minutes as they took care of the surrounding tables. Once we were greeted the drinks and apps came fast. The shrimp was way overcooked. The only good item was the birds nest. We both ordered steak which was beyond unappealing. No char and the color was not the color of a good steak. Would not recommend going here. read more
