Birdsong

This was my first time in a dining experience like this and it was beyond amazing! Celebrated my birthday here and was blown away. From start to finish everything was well thought out Carefully put together menu. The plate were absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed and we're impressed by all the wait staff and how in unison they were. It was fun being able to see into the kitchen and watch everyone working together to prepare our dishes. Intimate experience very impressed with the while experience. Cannot recommend this fining experience enough. Seriously worth the price.

I visited Birdsong in July of 2021. Today is August of 2023. Why the long wait? When I visited I had only been to a few other Michelin starred restaurants. I had no clue how to compare it to other dining experiences I’d had. I’ve now had enough experience to feel that I can do this review justice. Headline: Birdsong is a sublime experience and worthy of its accolades. Michelin star restaurants are a unique experience. Tasting menus are always going to be a mixed bag. Something's just not going to be to your taste. If you are lucky, other dishes are going to be out of this world. The Menu at Birdsong is no exception; which is good. For me to give 5-stars to a Michelin restaurant there must be something on the menu that is life changing. Let’s face it you’re fighting for a reservation and paying a fortune; if there isn’t something you will carry for the rest of your life it’s not worth it. Peas. I’m not a huge fan of peas. Yeah I like split pea soup, but mainly for the ham. If I see them on a plate I might give a taste if they are vibrantly green. But I’m never going to be swayed to order a dish because it features peas. In fact I’ll probably avoid a dish that features peas. And yet I will remember the peas I had here until the day I die. Unbelievably cooked so they are still crunchy and yet they aren’t raw. Peeled and the skins fried. Added on top of the dish for crunch and texture. But so few!!! My life is incomplete for not enough peas. I don’t remember the wine. I remember the bread and squab. Excellent. It was one star when I visited. It earned its second that fall. Why not three? Atmosphere. Every three star restaurant I’ve visited leaves you feeling like you are on an island enjoying your experience at a safe distance from your neighbors. Birdsong is a little crowded, a little cramped. You’re too close to your neighbors to get that 3rd star. But their loss is our gain. 3-star food for a 2-star price. Highly recommended unless you need the intimate atmosphere to focus on your date.

My favorite restaurant in the world. Warm and welcoming, unpretentious, consistently perfect, playfully serious food and impeccably elegant service, detailed and thoughtful without feeling affected or contrived... The whole experience feels clean and modern and sumptuous and surprising and and and. Every time I leave I know I'll be back soon, and I'm already looking forward to it. Check out some of these pictures from my last visit on 6/29/23. It looks like art and tastes like nothing I've ever tasted before or elsewhere. Utter delight.

Phenomenal food, service and atmosphere. Definitely an experience you won’t forget. The cornbread and caviar had us scratching our heads at first but it was our favorite dish of the night! Would highly recommend, but just a heads up - this location is very questionable especially after hours. The hostess was kind enough to make sure we had an Uber close by before leaving for the night. Didn’t take away from the restaurant itself but just beware.

Wonderful experience with unrivaled food. For me the food, just got better and better as the courses went on. The sommelier was also great and recommended some really good wines that were reasonably priced. They also had an amazing collection of wine and we were able to get some of our favorites from Australia. The service is just exceptional from start to finish - fine dining at its best. Not the restaurants fault but it’s a long experience so next time I’d wait until I could have got an earlier booking (we had no choice for the day we were in the city and had the last sitting) as finishing at 10.30pm was a little late for me personally.

The best tasting food I've ever had in my life. The corn bread and caviar was by far my favorite. You can tell each recipe has so much effort and thought put into it because not a single flavor or seasoning is off by even a minute degree. It's perfection. My mouth is watering as I write this review. I really loved my experience and I highly recommend!!
