My family and I dined here for a late lunch on a Saturday, we had heard good things and were excited to try it out. Our experience did not disappoint! Jay (I’m sorry if I spelled your name wrong) was our server and she was excellent, service was technical but very friendly and kind. She helped guide us through some must have plates and was very attentive throughout the meal. Our wine and water glasses were never empty. The wine list is phenomenal and well constructed. Paris recommended some great wines, and did an amazing job helping to curate our experience. We gave her some flavor profiles and a price range and she knocked it our of the park. My family and I appreciate well executed food and wine without the pretentiousness and both the kitchen and the FOH team emulated exactly that. We had planned on bar hopping after lunch but enjoyed our meal so much that we moved to the bar and got 2 more bottles of wine. Brian the bartender was very personable and makes some amazing espresso as well as cocktails. 10/10 highly recommended, if I lived in nyc I would dine here almost everyday. Cheers

Had a wonderful time here bringing my parents who were visiting from out of town. The food was fantastic, literally everything we ordered we devoured, the atmosphere was really fun and the service was incredible. The cocktails and wine also don't miss. The music can be a litttttle bit on the loud side, so for older people or first dates might be not the move, but that's just a personal opinion. Overall the food and service was outstanding. 10/10 can't wait to come back.

Fun lively restaurant with a varied menu. Food was all good but there were highs snd lows. All portions are on the smaller side so its easy to try a variety of the menu offerings. Farro salad was delicious. The pop of mint sets it apart from other salads. Prosciutto was cut paper thin and it was one of the best bites we had. Carrots were very pretty and very tasty but served cold which I think was intentional. Would have preferred warm. Cauliflower was good but the char was on the verge of burnt. Artichoke was a little disappointing. It was a little bland. Gnocci and spaghetti were very good. Pasta cooked and seasoned well. Loved the sauces on each. Overall good food and fun atmosphere but nothing that I would say I have to return for.

The food of course was extraordinary, but what really set the experience apart was Hectors service. From his recommendations, to his kindness, humor, and depth of knowledge of each dish, beverage, wine, and liquor, Hector truly made this one of the top food and restaurant memories in my lifetime. The chicken was amazing, the pasta perfect, the fish and oysters so light and bright and balanced, and each cocktail was delicious. Go to Charlie Bird and owners, give Hector a raise. 🙌🏻

Layout/atmosphere *Bar area (ten seats); two levels of tables; definitely a place to be seen; tables on sidewalk; enclosed outdoor dining structure in street Service *Good Food/drink *Razor clams (salted chile, lemon & fennel) - good; interesting presentation; spicy *Roasted Farm Chicken (fave beans, crispy bits) - Good; juicy; flavorful; not a fan of the chicken liver mousse *Monza (vodka-based cocktail) - good; a boozy creamsicle taste

Charlie Bird was our last restaurant out before lockdown. We flew home the next day to SF and history knows the rest. Every day, we kept thinking about that glorious meal, and the amazing, attentive staff. 3+ years later, we live in Europe now and have a kid. Coming back, we were delighted to find the same stellar food, from the hamachi to the tortellini to the chicken to the scallops to the steak, the same exceptional wine list, and, of course, the same darling, talented staff. We are so ecstatic that this brilliant restaurant survived and retains that perfect panache. We promise not to wait three years to come back. (And before I forget: really family friendly and accommodating…thank you!)

This place is so cool! From the hip menu to the wine list to the amazing food! Love love love everything! We came across this place looking for the best Cacio e pepe in the city. Here’s everything we ordered: - focaccia: scrumptious is the word I would describe it. - farro salad - as much as I hate to say it, the salad was the highlight of my meal. I cannot recommend it enough. From the freshness to flavors to everything! Get 1 for yourself and don’t share! - cacio e Pepe - we came for the star and it did not disappoint. I especially liked the red pepper (Aleppo?) topped on top of the pasta which was a unique touch to a classic. Definitely amongst the top 5 in the city!

A beautiful place. If you were looking for a good date-night place, look no more! The interior is stylish, bar looks great as well as the dining area. We shared a few dishes. This place has a small menu, but everything on it is delicious. Be sure to try oysters, steak, smoked pasta and ferro salad. Also, you can't go wrong with the olive oil ice-cream for the desert. They have a great variety of wines, and just let the staff know what's your preference- you will get the good recommendation. This will be my go-to place if I need to impress someone in New York. Compliments to the chef!
