    We had an incredible experience! Tom was wonderful and gave us food and drink suggestions. The gnocchi and chicken were out of this world and the deviled eggs were to die for! Beautiful, intimate ambience! Such a wonderful birthday date ❤️

    It was a very nice and comfortable evening. We had a few people check in on us and the food and drinks came out quick. We were sat in the tent area next to the window which was not the ideal spot. They had heaters in there but they should have tried to keep customers towards the middle. The food was excellent as two of us had the hot honey pizza and the drinks were very good.

    We had a wonderful valentines dinner at Mockingbird! The new wines by the glass were a treat, I really enjoyed the Pinot Noir. The ambiance was warm and inviting as always, and our server Anna was exceptional 🙂

    Looks beautiful… however most of the dishes we had were pretty bland and not tasty enough for the price. Drinks were pretty good but also some felt off balanced in flavor, not the booze level. Just not a great mixology I suppose. Inside is tiny and constantly was bumped into by people coming and going, and staff themselves. No one was rude, but also just kinda blah except for the nice man with the glasses. I assume he’s a manager or owner/founder. Cheers to him he was great. Honestly just was bummed and maybe it was the dishes we chose but we ordered 4 different things and only 1 really felt “worth it”

    We couldn’t have picked a better place to go this Valentine’s Day. The minute you walk in the staff bends over backwards to make sure you are happy and being taken care of. Tom took care of us by explaining the menu and the shareables were awesome. It was heart to watch the chefs prepare the food in the wood fire oven. We will definitely be back. We had the whitefish pate, the lamb lollipops and the escargot. All were incredible. Well prepared and very flavorful.

    Had a wonderful experience at Mockingbird! Our server, Melissa, was so very good, especially since we had a gluten allergy at the table and a couple of beer aficionados, and manager Tom was stellar in helping us select a wine and putting up with our friend who likes to tell long stories! It’s a small restaurant/bar, so be sure to make a reservation. The ambiance was great as we sat in the heated patio and got to see some snowflakes falling outside. They did not rush us at all. We tried several different pizzas, the salmon, the deviled eggs and the artichoke dip. Would order everything again!
