Birdie G's

One of my favorite spots. Very unique ingredients and pairings, and the most attentive staff. Highly recommend!

Came here with a large group and ordered off the family style prix fixe menu and everything was delicious - I'll be thinking about that kugel and the beet salad for a LONG time.

Food was average, we did enjoy the creativity and flavors of the relish plate and mussels. Matzo ball soup was flavorful but not mind blowing. Steak & fries seriously underwhelmed us, portion size was tiny. Our cocktails, however, were delicious and spirit-forward just like we were hoping for. Service, however, was a MAJOR disappointment. We came for our 7pm reservation and saw the server only when he took our order and to deliver some of the dishes. It took 2 hours before our main course was delivered to us. Each time the server delivered our dish he apologized profusely for how long it was taking and stated he was embarrassed at the pace our dishes were coming out. The meal started off strong with our cocktails and two starters, but by the end, we were so disappointed by the service we decided to skip dessert and just go home. Bummed because we really wanted to come back to try the pickle chick and other dishes/cocktails, but hard to justify coming back.

My wife and I dined here last night and the food was creative, exciting and most of all delicious. Our favorites were the matzo ball soup, tinned salt spring mussels, the small relish tray with 5-onion dip and the rose petal pie. Shout out to the staff, especially Oscar, who helped walk us through the menu and was happy to chat with us at the close of service. The energy in the restaurant was vibrant and joyous. I loved the music.

This is our favorite fine dining restaurant in the westside by far. Just wish they would fill up our lemonade to the top of the glass just because my wife is European and orders it without ice. We order a lot of things here and go way too many times to be stingy with a few drops of lemonade. Come on guys, what kind of tone are you setting with this weird policy? Photo of the ‘full lemonade,’ size varies on their whim.

The G in Birdie G’s stands for garlic. If you’re allergic or if you don’t like it’s lingering tang on your breath, then this is not your place. The $20 red wine was swill, not even on par with “2 Buck Chuck” at TJ’s. Noise level of “ West Beirut before the cease fire” Expensive!!!! $200 for lamb, persimmon +cheese, 1 glass of red, and 2 bottles of bottled water, but free parking in the Bergamot Station lot.

Solid food experience. Spendy. Limited selection.

The Matso ball soup is worth the trip The Caesar Fries were fried perfectly but a tad salty. The Empress Bundt cake was baked beautifully. The fresh whipped cream is perfect with the cake. I like the caramel but I found it overpoweringly sweet. More of a balance would have been nice. The restaurant decor is interior designer worthy and the location in Santa Monica is hard to beat!
