This isn't Covid time anymore... Ambiance is fine. Packed tables and booths into close quarters; has to park in a different lot due to no open spots in theirs. Food was gross! Ordered the breakfast bagel and the portion was massive. However the scrambled eggs tasted like fish and were gross. Bagel was chewy. Smoke turkey sausage was like a big, cut in half hotdog. Hash browns were undercooked. Just left it. Hated it. Kids got Mickey Mouse pancakes and they were just sugar! A metric ton of chocolate chips all over it. Kids didn't even eat it. Needless to say we all left feeling bloated, sick and unwell after eating here. Best parts? Service is friendly and quick. Cinnamon toast was tolerable. Water was cold & wet. Bout it.

I was there for a musical performance of one of my favorite bands. As always they were great!…read more My food was amazing and so was my friend's choice. The service was great although not enough for the extra event. We had to wait over half an hour to get a drink. Other people sitting at our table were ordering 2 at a time in order to not wait as long. We were not allowed to go order our own drinks. My other comment is that there a few empty tables closer the stage that would have allowed us and others to have more space. Most likely they were reserved but the people didn't confirm or show up? If that was the case, I would think the tables would have been open for others by 1/2 an hour after the band started playing. Charlie's Place is always a fun and favorite spot in the summer on the patio and when they have live music. Service is always great and the best clean restrooms are a plus.

Breakfast food doesn't typically merit strong opinions one way or another, but everyone in our party of 5 remarked at how good it was. Ambiance: Lots of natural sunlight, although the noise factor was a little high. Service: Well, there were a few issues. They were at-capacity, and one person in our group never got his pancake until we asked multiple times. By the time they finally brought it to the table, everyone else had finished eating, I had already paid the bill, and I had my car keys in my hand. They'll eventually work out the kinks I'm sure.

While we love FF, we had never attended one of their monthly (in season) wine dinners. This dinner surpassed our expectations, which were pretty high already! The service was warm, welcoming, friendly but not intrusive. Their natural casual ambience was enhanced by white linens, fresh flowers, and candles at the tables. The food...oh the food! Fabulous (see pics)! Next wine dinners will likely resume in the fall. It's a small restaurant so only the lucky ones who reserve in time get in! The chef and his wife, Kendra, are wonderful hosts!

She offered us a handshake or a hug we both opted for the hug. She wasn't over zealous or preachy. She shared and asked to pray after we finished eating.

Thank you for the great service and meal.

The reasons I chose this restaurant was for the vegan option and the lion imagery. Lol. So when I…read morearrived I was seated immediately and it went downhill from there. The service was slow and also my order for my food was in accurate. It also did not taste good. It was very bland. And I waited a long time although the restaurant was not busy. The owner was very busy telling her life story and evangelizing. This takes me back to the lion, it was a biblical reference and so is the name of the business. Which is all fine as long as the food is good. It's a small diner with nice people who have not prioritized the reason people go to a restaurant which is for food. Feed me well, and then maybe the rest will be ok. She did offer a prayer and it was good, just not the food or service.

Solbird is a real treat! The atmosphere is casual, the service always welcoming and efficient. The…read moremenu is uniquely varied, from Guacamole, Shrimp Ceviche, Korean Beef sliders (also work as a meal), and a wonderful Mexican Caesar Salad (a fav of ours) as starters; to 4 different quesadillas, 9 different tacos, 6 different burritos, 2 rice bowls, and 4 different papas fritas, aka fries with toppings. We've never had anything we didn't love! This most recent visit, we started with the Mexican Caesar and Chips with guacamole. Yum! Hubby had the Saturdays Night Special Burrito made with pork carnitas, Arroz verde, queso, avocado crema and tomatillo salsa on a grilled flour tortilla. Excellent! He could not finish it because it was so substantial... I usually go for tacos, and the Texican is my absolute go-to! SO flavorful! Also had the pork carnitas taco, neither of which could I finish. Love that all tacos can be wrapped in lettuce instead of tortillas if one prefers! Totally forgot pics until we packaged our leftovers (which hubby happily enjoyed the next day), so that's the only pic you get, unfortunately! Hopefully you can still discern the deliciousness of Solbird's food!

Oh, MAN, do I wish there was a restaurant like Solbird Kitchen & Tap closer to home…read more On a recent visit to Fort Wayne my wife and I were trying to figure out where to have dinner. Our son-in-law asked "Have you tried Solbird? They have amazing tacos!". Wellll...that's all that took! The decor at Solbird is nicely done. It's not bright and flashy. It's not overdone. It's not obnoxious. There's enough to give the place some ambiance without being overwhelming. It's dignified and suits the establishment. Solbird has a combination tables: bar seating, high tops, and regular height table. We're always high top sitters. Oh, and can we talk about these chairs? At least the tall chairs? Those things are HEAVY! If I'd have known they were that heavy I'd have eaten Cheerios® for breakfast. Our server was a very delightful young lady named Soleil (yes, like the actress Soleil Moon Frye). She was amazingly fun and just....cool. I'm not going to lie. My son-in-law mentioned the Mexican Poutine and that's all it took to get me in the door. My wifey was interested in the Korean tacos. Our food was delivered hot -- VERY hot -- and accurate, and I couldn't get the Mexican Poutine in my belly! It was 100% delicious in a way that I did not see coming, and I'm guessing that was the Chorizo. It made it AWESOME. The staff (all women as far as we saw) were all friendly, helpful, and always busy cleaning and stocking. The overhead music was 80s and 90s and was at a perfect level and not overwhelmingly loud. It gave the restaurant an upbeat, fun vibe. There's a sign on the door that says that no one under 21 is allowed to enter. I don't if that's an absolute, or that you can't eat here if you have kids under 21. No matter, I don't object to a restaurant having a rule like that. It's not an altogether bad thing to have adults-only establishments. Yea, if there was a Solbird close to home I'd be there every night...which makes it a good thing that it's about 4 hours away. :)

Choice of booth or table seating. Can be a bit noisy, when tables of patrons forget they're not the only guests in the room, but not to the level that drowns out your own table conversation. Service is usually impeccable and Kiersten (our server the past 2 visits) exemplifies that: knowledgeable, attentive but not intrusive, kind, efficient, pleasant. Hubby had the not-your-ordinary wedge salad as a starter (pictured). Bacon, tomato, bleu cheese crumbles, hard boiled egg, and a creamy balsamic dressing. Very tasty! Me, always a sucker for good French onion soup (pictured), which I always order with no bread or croutons. Broth has authentic rich flavor with just the right amount of simmered onions. The only thing that might have made it even better would have been the use of Gruyere (or Swiss, instead of what seemed to be mozzarella) for the cheesy melt topping the delicious soup. Our chosen entrees tonight were the cashew crusted Mahi Mahi (pictured) served with orzo and fresh green beans, and the seared tuna (pictured) served on an umami blend of Napa cabbage and broccoli lightly dressed in sesame ginger, just-right heat, and peanuts. SO good! Oh...and you can see by the pics that the portions are well presented and generous enough to have some for lunch the next day! Truly a local fav! Great place for lunch or dinner!
