A great spot for date night – Birdie’s is a little family-run, counter service neighborhood restaurant and wine bar that serves a menu that changes daily. You can expect simple, seasonal, American food inspired by the cooking of France and Italy that comes out in courses so you enjoy and savor each dish that is delish! The wine list is a thoughtful mix of classic and new producers with an emphasis on minimal intervention in the cellar.

Note Birdie’s is first come, first served and does not accept reservations. If there’s a wait, they will come around for drink orders.
