Who else is up for a 5-hour dinner extravaganza? This was one for the ages, and Bird in Hand held…read moreall the cards to make it a special night. Harken back to the days of yore when we all had five hours to spend eating, drinking, and being merry. The upstairs room with giant family table was just the place for our group of 20. I was surprised anybody could keep up with who ordered what. Star of the night was our lovely server, who put up with the endless musical-chairs action to get people what they ordered (mind you I didn't participate in that revelry; I kept my alleged rightful place at table's head, people can come to me). But the rest of the group swapped like it was speed-dating day. Since we were "private dining" the menu was a little smaller, but still had plenty of choices. The salmon was light, excellent, flavorful. Others enjoyed the Ragu and Salsiccia, and even the Vegana looked tasty. I smartly saved room for dessert (mine and a friends since that's how I roll). Actually somebody ordered a cheesecake and vanished so I added some of that to the list after polishing off my "selection of ice creams" (yes plural is always better with ice cream. Thankfully I had enough sense to let my colleague finish the last bottle of wine and didn't follow them all down the street to the next place afterward, leaving me to savor the upper-room experience at Bird.

We tried the saag paneer, chicken Tikka masala, a couple of the naans and some steamed rice. Mostly solid, although the naan was a little stiff for my normal taste. Food was brought out fast and that made takeout quite easy. If you are staying at a hotel nearby, this is a great alternative to the food your hotel serves, for sure!

The atmosphere is relaxed, but there was a bit of competition for tables around 6pm, with some less than courteous guests grabbing a table when others were waiting first without checking in with the server on staff. If there are plenty of tables, it may not be an issue to simply take a seat, however, if tables are in short supply- best to check and make sure no one else is waiting first before grabbing the next available table. Otherwise it's a lovely atmosphere and a relaxed setting for an evening meal or gathering with company.
