    Delicious sandwich, delicious soup! Reasonably priced. And super friendly staff! It's perfect for a lunch break from work downtown.

    It's my birthday weekend and wanted to treat myself to a luxurious brunch. Of course I chose…read moreLittlebird for the best French omelettes in the area. I adore crab so ordering that was a no brainer. Their coffee is strong. It took a ton of cream to change the color... though it was delicious with free refills for $5. The omelette was heaven. All the flavors melded well and I appreciated the crisp acidic salad to cut the richness of the omelette. My only critique is wishing the crab salad topping was a bit more decadent. For $21 I was hoping for big lumps of crab rather than cool shredded mayo based salad. All in all, I love this place, I love the concept. It was quite busy and was thankful to snag a seat at the bar. The service was friendly and quick. Best hipster establishment I've patronized in a long time. Make a reservation if you have a group or pray there is a seat at the bar. Keep doing your thang Littlebird!!

    I absolutely love Little Bird's smashburger and I will die on this hill. It's probably one of the…read morebest burgers (if not the best) dine-in burger in GR and I will constantly come back for this over and over. My boyfriend and I stumbled in during happy hour and were happy to grab some cheap drinks, but the main event was the burger! We typically like sitting at the bar as well and chat with the bartender who was absolutely lovely! The dirty martini was okay but I will definitely order something else next time as the olives just didn't hit for me. It's a quaint and quiet spot - you can read that as intimate - since it's not loud or rowdy, so if you want a really sweet date spot, feel free to check this one out! Otherwise, you can just go and have a casual, delicious dinner. Parking is limited with the street parking and it being so close to Monroe Center but you shouldn't have a terrible time finding something, even if requires a parking ramp vs street parking. I'd just recommend a reservation if you are going on a weekend or don't want to wait/sit at the bar!

Thanks for making Pinto's dreams come true with his very own brunch (grilled chicken!). How delightful. What a world we live in! My husband and I got a chicken and avo sandwich with brussel sprouts and a farmhouse platter. The goat cheese grits was incredible! There is so much more I'd like to try on the menu. We will have to come back!

Got seated and were never welcomed we had to ask a server to please get us drinks. The same thing happened when we needed to order. It seemed no one knew we were in the section. Our table of three took us almost 1.45 to have lunch. Front of the house might not have had it together but the kitchen did! The food was great! We had fried green tomato app- fantastic sauce. One had shrimp and grits she loved her meal- grits were course ground. I had the veggie omelette and subbed Brussels sprouts for potatoes and they were amazing. I would highly recommend trying this combo! All in all food is good but the service was slow and not very efficient- honestly the service was bad enough to rate a three but I loved those dang Brussels sprouts with my omelette!

There is a wall of windows for natural light, plenty of seating options to make for a cozy and intimate ambiance. I love that they showcase art and beautiful fixtures from around the globe. I had the Gochugaru Shrimp (Fusion) and my boyfriend had the Cubano (Cuba). Both were equally delicious. We wanted to get the Gumbo but it was such a favorite over the weekend, they needed were out. I was impressed with carefully curated menu, great job Chef. This was a short walking distance from my hotel in downtown Grand Rapids and it did not disappoint us!

Let me say there was absolutely nothing disappointing about this experience. For some idiotic reason I forgot to write down the name of my dish, probably cause I was shoving it into my mouth super fast but the one thing I can tell you was that it was amazing. The sheer mix of flavors was nothing short of a wild disco on my taste buds. It was so amazingly delicious, the service was impeccable and the setting so stunningly beautiful and I can't wait to come back again.

    A last minute decision to get food turned into a great night. I had the pesto pasta (delicious but…read morequite oily) and the salmon Caesar salad. The appetizers were great and the pizza puffs reheated great the next day! Our sever was so kind and helpful with my indecisiveness with trying to order. There are huge TVs everywhere and she was more than willing to move things around so I could see the games I wanted. It was a fun night! Their tequila espresso martini made our list as some of our favorites around town!

We ordered the pizza rolls that were on special and an order of meatballs. Both were SO good!! The little garlic toasts that came with the meatballs were a highlight for sure! The fresh basil was a nice touch as well! But this pizza rolls! Don't confuse them with Totino's, it's not the same! This was a pizza crust without sauce - but had cheese and pepperoni, rolled up like a pinwheel, then sliced and baked! When they come out of the oven they are brushed with garlic butter and served with warmed marina sauce, SO GOOD! It wasn't too busy and there was a fun, happy vibe. It's one of our favorite places when we want food late night in town.
