Beef cheeks and "hericot vert" aka French beans aka green beans. Those were my favorite of the two. The beef cheeks get extra extra points for being absolutely tender, but they were fried. Coupled with the cassoulet and there needed to be something to really cut through the fat and starch and protein flavors.
Cocktail list was good, and service was very pleasant. Enjoyed it, and plan on coming back next time I'm in town.
Service, I'm all about the service and the service at Bird was the best. Top notch. Yes, the food was very good. The menu was interesting. We were on vacation, we wanted to be pampered, to feel a little special. The staff a Bird did all of that. Friendly, without being too chummy. Efficient without rushing us. Great recitation of menu details, answering all of our picky questions. Thank you, Bird, for a lovely, relaxed, tasty dinner.
I enjoyed this restaurant in many ways. The ambiance is amazing, the staff is very attentive, and the food ranged from ok to great. The raw oysters, steak and stout pie, and blueberry cobbler with homemade ice cream were amazing! The steak tartar was not bad but could have used a little for acid. And the Caesar salad was missing anchovies and/or garlic that really gives Caesar dressing it's kick. But I'd definitely go back.
