This place is cute and pretty spacious, great for larger groups. Their Monday burger and martini special for $30 is a steal! Separately, martinis are $15 and burgers are $20 on Mondays. I had the 50/50 martini and it was delicious. We also had sides of broccoli rabe and cauliflower. The food was good, but not exceptional.

The atmosphere and the service here are really great. It is lively and fun. Our group had the private room in the back, which was so lovely and next to its own bathroom. We agreed that the fried chicken, Hamchi, rigatoni cacio de pepe pasta, and Gelato were the crowd favorites (prederred over the mains). Enjoy!

Charlie Bird is very much a presentation first establishment in my eyes. It's not bad by any means, but I am pretty disappointed especially since the food looks better than it actually tastes (not bad, just very average). Razor clams: Tangy, slightly savory, but you should prob pass on it at $7/pp. Burrata Crostini: it looks amazing, but there was no flavor. I literally only tasted the crostini. Farro Salad: Nice composition of flavors, but it doesn't really stand out. Tuscan Fried Chicken: Fairly flavorful and juicy, the best of the appetizers. But honestly, you are much better off going to a restaurant dedicated to fried chicken. French Fries: Actually really good, crispy and salty. If I ever came back, I would always order these with my meal. Chicken Milanese: ....the little side salad and the jam was the best part. The crust is the milanese is crispy and salted well, the chicken itself is cooked well..... But the chicken itself was not seasoned. The portions were okay overall. I'm not a picky eater by any means, but I was pretty disappointed overall with this meal. Maybe I was there the wrong day, but I left fairly disappointed. Although I rated it a 4 overall by NY standards, I would personally consider the food a 3/5 as I doubt I would ever return myself.

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.

We had brunch reservations for indoor dining, but due to the beautiful weather day of, we decided to dine outside in their gorgeous outdoor seating area. Not that it makes a difference to us, but it was a bit of a surprise when they still required to see our vaccination cards to dine outside! The menu for brunch is quite simple and short. It would have been nice to be offered a few for brunch style dishes besides just a frittata and whole grain pancakes. We started off with the oysters and burrata, and both ended up ordering pasta as our main. The oysters were delicious! The vinaigrette that it comes with was really good too. The local burrata was so creamy and perfect! Great pairing with the squash and toasted bread. As for pasta, we ordered the bolognese and the carbonara. The bolognese was a bit light and lacked a little flavor in my opinion, but the carbonara was absolutely delicious! I could have ate another plate of that! I would have loved to order a side of the Tuscan fried chicken, but $21 seemed a bit too steep for a “side” so we decided not to go with that option. Overall satisfied and would love to come back and try dinner one day in the future :)

Adorable outdoor seating with floral design. Was busy during lunch time on Sunday, but we were lucky to get seated within 5 minutes. Menu is not big, but food was good. Service was a little slow, probably because it was very busy at that time. Be ready to be charged 10% Covid-19 recovery. Overall good experience

Came for my birthday with my husband and overall one of the best meals I’ve had in the city. I took off one star because both of the pastas we had came out served cold to lukewarm which was disappointing. Drinks: great selection of wines so we shared a bottle. I also tried the vodka basil cocktail that’s on the brunch menu and was very good. Food: Bay scallop from the raw bar (strong fish flavor) and baked clams were both great. Pasta we did the special with truffle and mushrooms as well as the pappardelle with beef short rib ragu - again the flavors were great but temperature that it was served at was disappointing. Lamb was phenomenal. Dessert was molten lava cake and olive oil gelato - a must have!

Sorry to say but although I had high expectations from this place, it felt uneventful. And I mean that in a bad way. It looks and places itself higher than the actual delivery. Don’t get me wrong, it was not a bad experience. But they aim to offer more

A full meal at Charlie Birds.. was very happy with all of my dinner choices! Loved the burrata and squash combo, tartar and steak! Portions were very small/ European sized; I definitely could have ordered more as we shared all these plates. Good vibes but extremely loud music inside.

Poor experience. The theme here is that they give less food and drink than you would expect. We came with a group of 4, ordered appetizers and mains, and everyone left to get an actual dinner afterwards. The food was fine, albeit overpriced for the portions. I do not recommend coming here.
