    A very unassuming place and hidden away at a hotel, but the food was amazing! Chicken wings were huge, crispy and the juiciest I've ever had, and the piece of chicken in the burger was huge, crispy and juicy. I'd highly recommend this place.

    Social Bird is an amazing restaurant with a quiet and cozy ambiance. Their famous chicken schnitzel is a must to eat.

    Good ambience. Though food was not great and certainly not worth the price!

    Food was absolutely terrible 😞 greasy chicken that was more like a bad takeaway parmo than a schnitzel, horrible dressing on the salad with sad fennel on the turn, sickly creamed corn. Service was good, place looked nice, but sadly the food was grim. Avoid.

    Went during restaurant week and looked forward to trying a new place. food was mid - pretty flavourless chicken without the addition of paid for sauces. After our main, we waited over an hour to be seen with no luck. we were the only people in the restaurant. Staff were too busy stood around the bar chatting and no one came to check on us to take extra drink orders or ask if we wanted dessert/the bill. We had to approach the staff to ask them to bring us the bill despite several attempts to wave them down. The service charge was removed, but there was little apology from the staff who remained behind the bar giggling that we had to come ask them for help. Wont be frequenting the restaurant again.

    Naja, das Essen passte jetzt nicht zum Restaurant und ich hatte nach den Bewertung mehr erwartet. Die Rosti sollte man nicht nehmen, wenn sie aus Deutschland kennt, dann ist man nur enttäuscht.
