Had a date night here and enjoyed the food very much. We shared the Italian sausage raviolo, koji steak, and cornbread sticks. We enjoyed the details of the corn in the cornbread - very fun and cute. The steak was prepared absolutely perfectly 12/10. The vodka Italian sausage raviolo was tasty but could have used some more meat in it. The overall vibe of the place was nice and the service was good. Excited to come back and try the steak and other dishes again soon read more

Birdie G's is known timeless for there American cooking and family comfort atmosphere. The place itself is stunning with open ceiling and vegetation covering the whole dining room.

I went here for dinner on a week night, it was busy. I ordered Birdie spills the tea which is one of their less-boozy cocktails & delicious. Deanie's cornbread is so cute & moist! It comes in the shape of corn and the butter is even molded in a corn shape too. The rice flour-battered mushrooms are a great shareable dish- it's fried extra crispy which I loved. The prime skirt steak frites was juicy and came with lots of fries on the side. The smoked kielbasa is a sausage with smokey flavor. For dessert we ordered the chocolate layer cake & mango rice pudding. The chocolate layer cake is a large, decadent, super moist slice and perfect for any chocolate lover! The mango rice pudding gives mango sticky rice vibes - fruity and light. Both dessert options were definitely the way to end the meal. Parking- valet $17 read more

Birdie G's - Smoked Trout Dip Large ACG Caesar - American Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Big open space restaurant located in or around the Bergamot Station area in Santa Monica. The space is clean and fun with plenty of exposed brick. It's hard to put this restaurant in a box or classify it. With matzo ball soup on the menu, there's an obvious Jewish influence there, but the rest of the menu has modern and traditional takes on various menu items that feel both exotic and familiar. So I guess...New American? Regardless, there are lots of delicious sounding items on the menu to order including a daily special where they don't like to have the items on the every day menu, but are made available at least once a week. I came in late on a Saturday night by myself (I was leaving a late day birthday get together and was on the way home and hungry). They were kind of near closing time, so I asked the host if it were still possible to get seated. They accommodated me at the chef's counter. Luckily, this is typically my favorite place to sit. I ended up ordering the daily special or the blue plate - Duck Parmigiana - confit duck leg, pressed with garlic confit and all the cheese, then breaded, fried, and served with vodka sauce and basil. Really delicious. As you can probably guess, the dish was rich but didn't eat too heavy. I love chicken or eggplant parmigianas so this dish was right up my alley. I also ordered the matzo ball soup. Also very, very delicious with a healthy amount of dill. Light and comforting at the same time. I also ordered a cocktail - the Herbal Bomb - to help wash it all down. I was too full to order dessert there and by the time I was finishing up, I was one of the last people in the place so I wanted to get out of their hair, even though I felt no pressure to leave. But I felt like I couldn't leave without ordering their "World-Famous Rose Petal Pie", so I ended up getting a slice to go. Definitely a tasty, indulgent treat to enjoy while catching up on shows/movies when I got home. My pic probably doesn't do it justice. I can see the presentation being much more beautiful in house. If you are looking for a fantastic restaurant that feels like it can be for a somewhat casual meet up or a nice evening out with a fun menu, this is a great restaurant to consider. read more

The dining room is spacious & bustling, though parking availability & restrictions make it a challenging trip to dine at this refine, yet casual restaurant. Our server elevated our dining experience... offering recommendations, brief deets on our entrees, & the perfect amount of check-ins (like not asking how's the meal in mid-chew, water refills without prompts). My brother wanted to celebrate H's 12th birthday & introduce BG's to elevate her child palate. B always had a thing for their almonds & it's an absolute must for him; they're quite addictive. I found the cornbread appealing in texture & flavor; dense yet moist, accompanied by a lovely butter spread with a kick of chili. The tomato salad was a refreshing surprise! I'm not a fan of tomatoes & eat it as an accompaniment to a burger or salad, but BG's prep is flavorful & masterful. I'm a diehard peach lover & this is one of the best appetizers to whet my palate... tender & juicy, harmonized with carrot 'nduja & cashew gouda. The matzo ball soup was comforting, though I could have skipped it along with the fries (H still had her kid preferences) since they came with the steak. The grouper was my favorite dish of the night... the serving was on the smaller side, probably because their servings are meant for family-style sharing. I love, love, love the basil pistou... so much flavor from basil, garlic, & olive oil that's balanced with a sweet corn sauce & sweet, savory squash blossoms. We ordered the steak to be cooked to medium, but it was more medium-well. It was more buttery & rich than a filet mignon, but other than that, it was just ok; nothing spectacular that makes this a must. We ended the meal with their infamous, aesthetically eye-catching pie; a strawberry mousse concoction with jello that's fragrant with rose, yet not overly sweet. The persimmon puff was fantabulous... jammy soft, melting sweetness of floral honey, apricot, mango with a lemon zing! I paired a couple of refreshing cocktails. I especially love Cali Crushin' blend of flavors = slurp happiness! I will be sad to see you go Birdie G's, & coming back in a couple of days to celebrate my son's 10th & his academic achievements before you're gone.

Located at n one of the quieter areas of Santa Monica in the environs of Bergamot station, Birdie G's is a throwback to Eastern European cuisine with such staples as matzoh ball soup, brisket, and loc, in addition to similar offerings. Although the outdoor area is pleasant due to its lack of noisy traffic, prices are high and the requirement for costly valet parking despite a surfeit or nearby parking spaces is annoying. read more

I'm so sad to hear that Birdie G will be closing down at the end of the year but glad that I got a chance to check it out! From their introduction, I think they serve modern American food with an eastern European influence and using fresh California ingredients. Started off with the mushroom fritti which was quite yummy! You really can't go wrong with fried mushrooms but I liked the chunkiness of each mushroom pieces with it still being cooked thoroughly. The rosemary was a nice touch to add some extra aroma. The caesar salad exceeded my expectations! I loved their version of the sauce and how generously tossed the fresh veggies were. More importantly I loved how much black pepper they incorporated because it really brought out the mixture of flavors. For mains, the skirt steak was delicous! It was super super tender and packed with flavors. The pickle chick cutlet was alright for me because I'm not a huge fan of chicken breast, but I do appreciate how it was chewy for the most part. For dessert, the rose petal cake was aesthetically pleasing. Strawberry mousse with red jello. The crust was yummy with the crunchy and flakey pretzel bites. For drinks, I enjoyed the Persimmon Me Timbers with the fruity flavor. The Don't Be Corny was a little too strong for me; corn flavors were very faint and more like corn flakes than corn. Staff were nice and friendly. Lots of seating indoors and out. Intimate setting with fairy lights but also great for bigger parties/celebrations. On a weeknight, we easily found street parking the next street over but they also have valet available. read more

Ain't nothing but a G thang, baby, a delicious Caesar salad and cornbread oh maybe, Birdie G's for nice dinner out and spending. Tucked away in the Bergamot station in Santa Monica, this fine dining restaurant offers pleasant customer service, eloquent atmosphere, and tasty dishes. Although the portions are on the smaller side, the flavor is rewarding. I really liked the cornbread, Caesar salad, and mushroom frites. On the $$ to $$$ side, limited parking on the street but does offer valet. read more

We've been to Birdie G five times now, and it has never once disappointed us. Last night was no exception--absolutely superb, just as it always has been. The wait staff is consistently attentive, and every dish feels like it's made with care. The market salad was incredibly fresh, the ravioli was outstanding, and the chicken with polenta was amazing--we actually remembered how good it was two years ago when we ordered it back then, and it was just as delicious this time. Desserts are a must here. The chocolate cake is decadent and the date Bundt cake is truly special. It's heartbreaking to know they'll be closing their doors at the end of this year. Birdie G has been one of those rare restaurants we could always count on for an excellent meal and warm hospitality. We'll definitely be back again before the final day, and we'll truly miss this gem once it's gone read more

Our friend was visiting from the East coast and our goal of showing her some of LA's great restaurants unfortunately fell short. Among the small plates, we enjoyed the adorably presented cornbread and king mushroom fritti with its light fry and springy texture. Delving into the mains, the baja striped bass's presentation was probably the most pedestrian and unappealing fish dish I've seen yet - a couple of small pieces of filet overly doused in salsa verde and several whole small potatoes on the side. I was genuinely shocked that this cost $42. The birdie burger was quite juicy, though its seasoning and toppings failed to pop at all on our palates. Birdie G's is supposed to be known for their desserts and the "world famous rose petal pie" was pretty awful. Its gelatinous texture was outright unpleasant and I lost interest completely after just one bite. Luckily, the massive chilled chocolate layer cake was solid. Regarding hospitality, our server was mediocre at best. Inattentive and seemingly poorly-trained as he didn't even ask us if we wanted anything else to drink after picking up our completed first round. In fact, an Asian gentleman (general manager?) had to come by to take our food order as the server was busy elsewhere... Suffice it to say, the overpriced food and lackluster service left a poor impression and I'm disappointed that we failed to give our friend a quality dining experience. read more

I first have to say, the service was unbeatable. My server, Kelly T, was friendly and very helpful answering my millions of questions. She made great recommendations too! I sat right in front of the kitchen. It was really nice to see food being prepared right in front of me. I got the olives, tomato salad, trout dip, burger, and crème brûlée. Honestly, everything was delicious and prepared perfectly. The burger was a perfect medium rare, and I love that they offered to split it for me before serving (I split it with a friend). The drinks were also really nice and made with interesting ingredients. I forgot the name, but my favorite was a margarita with a Sichuan chili spice. Delicious! I'll have to come back for brunch! read more

Birdie G's is a consistent hit - well-crafted cocktails, delicious food, and nice casual Santa Monica ambience. Regular favorites include the relish tray, cornbread with green chile butter, and the trumpet mushrooms, but most of the dishes I've tried here have been delicious. There is valet in front of the restaurant, or free parking in the lot at the end of the road. The noise levels can be a bit high inside, but otherwise, great spot for a date or small group dinner. read more

The whole menu feels original--playful and well thought out. One standout was the Pickle Chick, a crispy fried chicken cutlet topped with layers of tangy pickles. Totally unique, totally delicious. We enjoyed sharing the Big Ravioli--actually two big ravioli--stuffed with rich Italian sausage and topped with a flavorful sauce that hit all the right notes. Also loved the grilled artichoke--it was so soft I ended up eating most of the leaves. And of course, the Bundt Cake is still one of the best desserts we've had in the U.S.--moist, warm, drenched in rich caramel. Cocktails were creative and balanced, and the vibe was lively without being overwhelming. Staff were warm and professional. The dry-aging fridge in the back adds a nice touch and raises expectations for the steaks. Whether you're with family, celebrating something special, or trying to impress your boss--this spot delivers every time. read more

Tried Birdie G's for the first time and had such a lovely experience! I cannot wait to come back and am sad it took me this long to try! Modern Jewish cuisine - and I love that they incorporate seasonal produce and influence. The creamed corn kugel was so smart and delicious. I loved the peaches and the open face tomato sandwich was INCREDIBLE. I wasn't wowed by the brisket though, but everything else was fantastic including the rose petal pie and cocktails. It's so creative and the service is unbelievably attentive and helpful and hospitable. It's a really nice ambiance tucked away amongst art galleries and a nearby comedy venue. Truly can't wait to come by again and try more of their amazing food!!! read more

A Fantastic Meal... Until Dessert Ruined It Everything was great--the cocktails were phenomenal, the snacks were amazing. We had the Buffalo eggs, cucumbers, and fries, and every bite was better than the last. The drinks? Perfection. We were having a fantastic time... until we made the mistake of ordering dessert. The so-called Rose Petal Pie is not a pie. It's a 1970s jello mold trying to pass as a "modern" dessert, and for $15, it's basically a very expensive bite of air. No real substance--just a wobbly, forgettable, overpriced letdown. It looks pretty, sure, but I didn't come here for an art installation. I wanted a pie. So, by all means, come for the drinks and snacks. They're absolutely worth it. But do yourself a favor and skip the pie. read more

A pretty serviceable dinner spot that's nowhere near the level of excellence it's purported to be. The cornbread was a standout in both flavor and presentation (so cute), and everything else had good flavor but didn't necessarily leave a strong impression. I was mostly disappointed with the service. Our server seemed checked out and forgot that we ordered drinks, so they didn't come out until our third dish was arriving. When our meal was finished, I asked to have the remaining half of my pickle chick boxed up. The busser, or whoever packed my leftovers, flipped the dish upside down so all of the toppings were smeared on the bottom AND they put the leftover, unwanted bits of our crudite tray (like stems and leaves and half eaten bites) underneath my chicken cutlet. Gross! Why would I want to eat the stem of a radish on my chicken cutlet? All around I did not get the impression that the staff was well trained or organized. read more

Tuesday night, party of three. The place wasn't full, but they stuck us at the bathroom/kitchen table. We moved. Service went downhill from there. Drinks? Had to order twice because they were out of basics. No matzo ball soup--though broth was literally on the stove. Cornbread was cold. Mushroom app was cold. Everything else? Middling. This was our second visit. It'll be our last. For a spot that talks up hospitality and quality, it was sloppy and careless. read more

A hidden gem in Santa Monica that feels equal parts upscale and welcoming. The menu leans into comfort food with a creative, elevated twist. We tried the Grandma's Chicken Soup and the Rose Petal Pie--both lived up to the hype. The soup was rich and nostalgic, and the pie? Totally unique and surprisingly refreshing. The vibe is stylish without being pretentious, and the service was attentive without hovering. They really know how to pace a meal, which made the whole evening feel relaxed and thoughtful. Pro tip: Come hungry and make a reservation, especially on weekends. And definitely save room for dessert--it's part of the experience. read more

8 Nights with Guest Chefs a Hit once again! This is the third year we have gone to the 8 Nights Celebrations and so far this year is the best ever! We loved the set menu with dishes alternating between the two different guest chefs. We loved all of the dishes and some were amongst the best we ever have had at Birdie G's (where we have dined many times!). The ambiance was festive and the opportunity to spend some time with each of the guest chefs made the experience truly special! The servers were on it! We will be going back on Thursday for two different guest chefs and we are even more excited now than we were already! I am excited that they keep innovating and keep serving up such great food! Such a fantastic restaurant (with great cocktails too!)! read more

Loved Birdie G's!!!!! The food was so good I can't wait to return. I came here with a girlfriend, we had a reservation but when we arrived our table wasn't ready. We went to the bar and ordered drinks. The bar was standing room only and very busy. I ordered a Sky's the Limit. Our drinks were very good, I just wish there was more breathing room at the bar but this place is popular for a reason. We ended up waiting 20-30 minutes for a table. I didn't really mind because we had time, but just note this is not the place to go when you have a tight schedule. We were seated outside but there were heaters so we stayed warm and it was pretty quiet which I appreciated. Our waiter was super nice and helpful, great service. I partly came here for the fried pickle chicken but they were sold out. They only make 14 a day, which hopefully the restaurant increases. Hopefully we can try it next time. We started with the BEETS WITH DELI FLAVORS. This is yellow beets with smoked trout roe & horseradish cream. It was very light and refreshing. 10/10!! Will definitely order again. RICE FLOUR BATTERED MUSHROOMS- delicious. Not too greasy and perfect. BROWN BUTTER & MATZO DUMPLINGS- this was my favorite thing we ordered. The dumplings were the perfect consistency and so rich with the brown butter. Can't wait to have again. Not pictured but we got the LAMB A LA SALESS with crispy rice, fenugreek, black lime, beet molasses, dill and saffron. The lamb was indulgent and it was delicious!!! The meat was so tender and cooked just right. The crispy rice I'm still thinking about it, was so crunchy and had amazing flavor. So so good. We finished the meal with the ROSE PETAL PIE and it was incredible. I don't normally like jello consistency but I loved this pie! Delicious meal overall. read more

Oh heck freaking yes try this spot out!! DELICIOUS food, fantastic drinks, and such a cute spot inside and out that it makes for a lovely lunch or dinner.

All flavors were well balanced, apparent, and fit the dish and the meat was fresh and well cooked. Odd location but try it out and leave very happy. read more

Updated review for April 2025: We used to love this place but recent experience was disappointing. Everything we ordered was just super greasy and didn't taste good.

My second or third time here and lemmeeee tellll youuuu. If you are a pescatarian like me pls think twice about coming here to eat. Or drink tbh, one of the worst extra/filthy/ dirty martinis I have ever had (also one olive as a garnish to a $18+ drink...?) . We split the bass, I love a buttery white fish. This fish came out and I am still upset with myself for not saying anything. It was incredibly unappealing, red and brown, and dry (yet slightly slimy?) and dense and with so much pesto type sauce on top it was drowning. I ate a few pieces and immediately knew not only was it visibly unappealing but also totally and utterly disappointingly gross. (Also, also, for $45 you'd expect a little more than two small pieces of ((overly sauced)) fish but I was also relieved I wasn't going to be wasting all that much since I could not physically eat more than a few bites without feeling a little queasy) . The cornbread was the saving grace, I was so hungry. It was tasty and cute to look at. All in all, an incredibly overpriced bougie spot. I rather spend money at any other of the $$$ spots in the neighborhood. -wish I took the time to read the reviews before this latest visit as it sounds like quite a few people feel as if this place has not only gotten a little bougie pretentious, but also deteriorated in quality and lost itself along the way. We ordered dirty martinis bc their cocktail list felt like an snl goes to LA skit. read more

Very good food. Good service. The only minus is parking (or lack there of) it's a shame they're closing soon

A seriously delicious dinner in a large and open-concept type of dining room. They specialize in Middle Eastern and traditional American flavors and also they are a big fan of dill because it is literally in almost every dish. They have a very large dining room on one side and a large bar with additional seating on the other. Parking in the area is pretty easy as they offer valet out front or it's also not hard to find free street parking, which is what we did. Our server was very polite and did a great job. We started off with the Bashed Cucumbers, and they were really delicious. Again, it had dill, but that is OK with me because I am a fan of it. Next I ordered the Matzoh Ball Soup because I've only had it a few times in my life and had heard this is one of the better versions. I will say it was very good and I would definitely order it again. Second dill dish. For my entrée I chose the Lamb a la Saless and it was really delicious. The fenugreek added a great crunch to the bottom and this marked my third dill dish. Overall a really great dinner with great service in a great part of town. I would definitely recommend and plan to be back in the near future. read more

Beautiful space, delicious food, amazing cocktails. Their old fashioned is on point, with a cute hummingbird etched into the ice. We also got the dill one (I think it's called Not a Big Dill), which was delicious as well. We got the flat iron steak (cooked medium rare because any other way to have a steak is a crime), summer squash, hungarian cheese ravioli (delicious), cobb salad but not really a salad - this one is made of snowpeas, the pickled chicken - wonderfully fried chicken, olives, cornbread.... the food was all amazing. They also have this rose petal jello marshmallow cake dessert thing that is a must. And whatever ginger mint tea they have is also delicious. Service was great. We arrived at our reservation time, and they didn't quite have the table ready yet, so we got some cocktails and waited around for a few minutes. They also have a couple delicious mocktails on the menu. Overall, glad to be putting this place on our food map. Parking: They have valet for $16 (As of summer 2024), or you can park for free in the lot at the end of the Michigan, at Bergamot Station. They say the lot closes at 10pm, but when I went to move my car around 10pm, there were still a lot of cars in the lot and what sounded like a party going on at the restaurant in the area. Bathrooms are clean - there are two stalls in the women's. Their soap also smells very nice. read more
