   The menu over describes the food in a way that makes it sound better than it actually is: French fries over-salted, bread over-toasted, mayo spread not "aoli," more "living lettuce" (whatever that is) than bacon. My guest's meal was also not great. First time and last time to Rainbird. I was expecting greatness. Our server, Rodney, was the best part of the experience.

   This is the fifth time that I’ve eaten at the Rainbird in probably the last six months. It is no accident. This is a very fine restaurant in all aspects.

   This is the fourth time that I have dined here. Ordered something different every time. Excellent in all aspects. Pleasant and quiet atmosphere. Very competent, down-to-earth service. Tremendous food! Reasonably priced.

   A group of friends decided to attend the Thanksgiving Dinner at Rainbird this year. We chose the family style meal, consisting of a platter of turkey as well as ham. The side dishes were stuffing, mashed sweet potatoes, green beans, gravy and cranberry sauce. It was all delicious!

    I had the pleasure of dining with my family at Rainbird for Thanksgiving dinner, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the thoughtfully curated menu to the perfectly paired drinks, every detail reflected the chef’s dedication to showcasing the agricultural bounty of the Valley. The sweet potatoes were a standout—both forward-thinking and deeply rooted in tradition, serving as a beautiful homage to the seasonal ingredients and the region’s rich heritage. This harmonious blend of creativity and respect for local produce elevated the entire meal, making it a memorable celebration of the season and the area’s culinary identity. The dessert, crafted in-house by the pastry chef, was a delightful finale to the meal. Its rich flavors and impeccable presentation perfectly capped off an already exceptional dining experience. I hope the chef considers hosting Thanksgiving dinner—or even lunch—again in the future, as this thoughtful and delicious offering is truly something to look forward to.
