Bluebird Kitchen

I'm not going to lie... I was a bit underwhelmed. We've wanted to check this spot out for awhile, but hadn't had the opportunity until recently. We surprisingly got in quasi-quickly... I put in a call and made a reservation and was told the tables were currently open. Upon arrival, we still waited around ten minutes while they cleaned the table. The place was visually pleasant, spacious and welcoming - the staff not as much. They weren't rude by any means, just not as attentive as I thought they'd be with such a price tag. The menu wasn't bad but wasn't good. The choices were slim and not as exciting as we had been thinking. I wound up getting the steak and eggs which was OK, just nothing to write home about. The special 'everything' seasoning on the potatoes was less exciting than present

I didn't know that Bluebird Kitchen offered brunch, so I was happy to come here when I was in the mood for some French Toast. The Challah French Toast was so delicious! The raspberry compote added a fantastic, bright fruitiness, and the whipped mascarpone was the perfect, light, and not-too-sweet finish. This was a dish that I'd happily order again. I came here on a weekday, so the restaurant was very quiet. Service was nice (but a bit slow). I definitely recommend this restaurant for brunch.

Went for lunch with my family a few weekends ago. The restaurant is very large and has a lot of great natural lighting. It kind of reminds me of an upscale diner. The menu is huge and they have a lot to offer for any and every diner. Food was fine, nothing really blew us away buy tasted fine. I would return for a low key lunch or a quick easy dinner. I will say service was kind of slow considering it was a pretty quiet day.

Saturday brunch with my son on Valentines Day. *Bluebird Kitchen 2405 Merrick Road, Bellmore NY* I had the pleasure of spending the morning with my son — something we don’t get to do often with both of us being busy with work and life. For Valentine’s Day, he wanted to take me out for brunch and try a new place (new to us). When we walked in around 11:45 a.m., another couple was waiting, so we stood to the side. The hostess came to the front, looked directly at us, but did not acknowledge us. The phone rang, he answered it, and then proceeded to assist the couple who had been waiting. We stood there another 7–8 minutes before he finally came back and asked if we had a reservation. We said no. He stated that only high-top seating was available, so we agreed, as we didn’t have much choice.

Dined at Bluebird for Sunday Brunch and we enjoyed our time there. The ambiance is very clean, open and full of natural light. The honey biscuits are a must try for a starter. It's both sweet and savory, and the lemon rosemary honey butter made it more mouthwatering. The lamb burger was good, I would've preferred a little less feta, as it was a huge slab. Our table had chicken and waffles and garden scramble bowls which they enjoyed. The best part of our dining experience was our drinks and our bartender/server Blake. I literally had "The Time of My Life" cocktail and it was one of the best drinks I've had in a while. Blake made the perfect balance of sweet, tart & spicy. We stuck to the Dirty Dancing themed drinks such as the "I'll Never be Sorry", "Go Back to Your Playpen", "and "Nobody
