Chickadee

I was taken aback by the menu. Google said it was Mediterranean food, but I guess I had a different idea of what Mediterranean was because the menu wasn't what I thought it would be. Be warned they do charge $50 if you don't show up. Ambiance is large and loud and it's a renovated warehouse, so I didn't really like that set up. We were close to the door, so I felt a draft nearby every now and then. The lobster plate with pasta was good and it wasn't too spicy for me. My GF got the seared scallops and thought the scallops were prepared pretty good with the herbs. However, she didn't like the watery broth and that it was served in a bowl with the squash. The vegetables in the broth she felt were bland. Our dessert almond cake was dry and most likely supposed to be that way because there was raspberry sorbet on the top. She wasn't a fan, but I thought it was flavorful with the fruits around it and it looked almost like Christmas. The staff is pretty much all-white and includes the host, bartenders, servers, and cooks inside the kitchen because you can see them. We were the only brown-skinned folk in a place that could probably fit 100. I wouldn't go back, but I wouldn't say it was the worst food in the world, just not what I expected, that's all.

Amazing! I booked a reservation for my dad and I when he was visiting town. He gave me the reigns when it came to choosing a restaurant which normally gives me immense anxiety but I was stoked when I came across Chickadee and it did not disappoint. The ambience is really cool with an industrial vibe that is decorated to feel intimate and cozy; extra points for being able to actually hold a conversation due to noise level. The service was great from start to finish and the staff seem very knowledgeable and excited to chat about the menu items. The food was the star with perfectly balanced flavors in all the dishes. We split the dips and spreads (ask for extra pita!) and marinated beets to start. For our main course, we each got the lobster campanelle (chefs kiss!) The pasta/grains and large plates definitely seem decently portioned (~one/person~). The plates on nearby tables looked equally as mouth-watering). I’m looking forward to coming back with friends to show them this gem.

Good dinning environment! Service and foods were okay.

Very mediocre food that's below par for the price.

We were here for the duck three ways , but it was off the menu at that time, so make sure to check the menu ahead!

Porchetta is the best starter main course.
