    Food and presentation were good, service was not that great…certainly not worthy of a 22% tip (bill for four without alcohol was $458.)

    The food was delicious once it arrived. We ordered cocktails and one appetizer and our dinner all at the same time. The cocktails arrived within five minutes but the appetizer didn’t arrive until about 20 minutes later. After an hour and a half we asked about our salads and they were delivered immediately. Not sure why they took so long or how much longer we would have waited for them if we hadn’t asked. The food did arrive within a few minutes of our salad plates being cleared but an hour and a half before the dinner service really started after ordering is too long. It did seem that our waiter was also the bartender but the restaurant wasn’t that busy and there were other servers available to help him.

    We had hoped to enjoy the lovely October weather and sit outside for dinner. Lighting was too bright, tables were bare and seats terribly uncomfortable. Better suited for a lunch outing. Indoor ambience was just right although a bit loud. Service was friendly but very slow considering the restaurant was not very busy. Restaurant did not appear to be understaffed - just not very well organized. Waiter thanked us several times for our patience - not a good sign. Food was good but, given reviews and recommendations, we expected better. Perhaps it was an "off" night. We'll give it another try next time we're in town.

    We had Sunday brunch with a reservation at 1. We were seated right away, it wasn't busy. We had biscuits as an appetizer and they were great. I got a bloody mary and it came without the caper berry from the menu. The main taste was salt and was very weak. The lime was brown. My wife had the scrambler. It was a mushy brown glob of indistinguishable ingredients. I had the heirloom tomato tartine. The tomatoes were cheap garnish cherry tomatoes. It only had a trace of ricotta with very thick bread. It was horrible. Our waitress disappeared so I asked the seater for salt for my underseasoned tartine. I'm glad went for brunch instead of dinner for our anniversary. I will not be going back.

    Everything about Whitebird is first class! From the friendly and engaging valet to the young gentleman who held the kitchen open for us (we were late due to traffic) to the bartender/server who took care of us with 5-star service, we had an unforgettable experience! And the food was simply amazing!!

    The restaurant is beautifully designed. The staff is friendly and professional. We were there early on a Sunday evening and had the dining room almost to ourselves, which was a bit unsettling, but it kept the noise to an intimate level which was nice. We ordered several courses and each was expertly prepared and delicious! Our only (very small) gripe was the somewhat slower than expected service, but this may have been our perception because we’d had a long day and were ready to wind down at the hotel. Overall, the experience was absolutely fantastic and we would not hesitate to go back for another stellar meal.
