Littlebird

Was a great experience farm to table restaurant.

The scene is tranquil. The cocktails delightful, the staff is enchanting.

Best. Cheeseburger. Ever. I didn’t get the cheeseburger this time, but brunch is great too! I always recommend Littlebird to anyone in town. Delicious, fresh options and a quaint place to eat! My friend and I stopped in for brunch. We put our names on the waitlist when it was very busy, and it only took 10 minutes for a table to open up! Great service every time, too. They even support other local businesses and let us bring in our coffees from across the street!

The vegan kimchi was the best I’ve had. Very thoughtful and flavorful food. Great brunch. Our server was warm and talented.

Great smash burgers! Best smash burgers we’ve ever had. Good drinks and fries too

Delightful setting for a cozy, delicious meal. Excellent service and unique menu. Gluten free options & attention to detail…potatoes are fried in their own dedicated oil to email gluten free. Can’t say enough about our 5 star experience.

I want to preface this by saying that the service was pretty good. However, the food is another story. I booked a dinner reservation for my family and my father that came from Texas to visit. We were so excited the whole week and then , totally let down. Our table wasn’t ready for my RESERVATION when we arrived and we waited too long for our drink order (10+ mins). It was deafeningly loud in that tiny space and it really took away from the experience. We decided to try and enjoy our night. The waitress was nice and attentive. The food, however, was terrible and pretty much ruined our night. My scallops were undercooked and the sauce they were in was extremely basic and cost $37 [THIRTY-SEVEN ]. My Father’s meal was a pasta dish that was served cold. When my father asked if the dish was supposed to be cold, the waitress’s answer really made me angry. She said, “No”, and my dad said it was cold and her reply was, I sh*t you not, “sorry we don’t have a microwave”. My dad just looked at her like ‘ok well my food is still cold’. My dad ate cold $30 pasta for the special dinner that I planned. Neither me, my father or my husband were able to enjoy their food. I’m just sad this happened and it was very embarrassing. Never going back. Do not recommend. Edit: here is my response to this restaurant attempting to blame my elderly father: “Sir, of course there was no offer to re-fire the dish. I would have gladly accepted to save the night’s dinner!! I said in the review *exactly* the words the waitress said. She said, “Sorry we don’t have a microwave”. I There was no offer to re-fire, re-heat or otherwise bring the dish to an edible temp. After what the waitress said about my father’s meal why would I then ask to replace the scallops? I already knew what the answer was. You feel bad? Imagine how I feel having spent $$$ on a fancy dinner for my visiting father that was inedible and ruined our night? We left hungry but were so turned off we didn’t eat dinner anywhere else either ‍♀️. You tell me, would you be angry? I have no reason to lie to you. I am embarrassed this happened! Little Bird was specifically recommended to me. Y'all should refund me the amount I was billed. I know you won’t. I’d keep an eye on that waitress that just lied to you AFTER ruining my family’s evening. I appreciate that you’re a small business which is exactly why I made the reservation. None of this is my fault. Sincerely,”. —addendum— minus 2 more service stars for lying staff and blaming your customers.

This is the best restaurant in West Michigan. Yes, that’s what I said. Don’t believe me? Go in any time of the day and order their omelette. No fuss—get it the house way, which has a little Boursin on top. I’ve not had better anywhere in the world. The rest of the menu complements the omelette beautifully. Not too many options, nor too few. Some change often; others are reliably always on. If you see something weird, order that. Nothing hits their menu that isn’t put there with a lot of research and good humor. Trust these cooks. Look, this isn’t the fanciest restaurant in GR. The best bar for people-watching, where you can also get a great drink and great dinner? That’s the bar at Ruth’s Chris. (I would love to say it’s not true, but it is.) The best place to be immersed in PYTs overspending for crackers and cheese and champagne? That’s the rooftop at Mertens. Best place to bring an out-of-town group for a fun and delicious dinner? It’s still San Chez. Seafood? Sorry, Leo’s—The Real Seafood Co is pretty darn good. Rent a room for a dinner party? Downstairs at Reserve. But if you’re looking for the restaurant that feels like—and serves food that tastes like—the chef learned to cook outside of West Michigan, with an atmosphere that feels like a chic little neighborhood in Europe, with excellent drinks and wine, and the most casually lovely service, go to Little Bird. The prices? I went for brunch on Saturday, and our party of three spent a total of $65 including tip. Yes, I had the omelette.
