Sam was a great waiter! Loved the food options! We had breakfast here the cheese omelette was great! Lots of ham chunks

Was in town for a week staying at a house in town and my mom was craving a salad for dinner but wasn't feeling up for going out that night so I did a lil' search on Yelp for salads and Lady Bird came up as a delicious looking option. I gave them a ring to see if I could place a carryout order (on a Friday night!) and they were very kindly accommodating despite being busy. They were also VERY patient as I had to go back and forth with her to check which protein she wanted to add (it involved two phones and I had to use the mute button more than once WHEW!) Came in to pick up and everyone was SO nice and welcoming, even though I was doing a carryout. I apologized for the chaotic call and they were so cool about it. Made me feel much better about how frazzled we all were. Mom loved the salad, too. She went with the Seasonal Salad (red radish, celery, mixed greens, apple, shaved gouda, craisins, and candied walnuts, with a honey mustard balsamic dressing) and ultimately landed on the marinated chicken for her protein. Said it was great! I can't wait for my next visit to Saugatuck so I can give them a proper visit and dine in. The space is beautiful and the plates I saw go by as I went into pick up the order looked delicious! read more

The food was good, just didn't hit for the whole group. The whipped app was very watery. We had a lack of follow up on our meal and the missing of a drink is why the 3 was given. The atmosphere is great and you can see why people love this place. I think they were understaffed, just took too long g to come out. read more

Simply spectacular! With so many great dining options to choose from we really had a difficult time deciding where to go, but we heard so many great things about Lady Bird that we thought it must be the place, and they were right! First, we love good 80's music in the background and the volume was just right. Not too loud were you can't talk or relax, just enough to set them mood. The decor was also a pleasant surprise and the sun shade umbrellas in the outside seating were a tasteful touch. Tom was our waiter and he was quick, sharp and personal. We could tell Tom was really on our side as a guest and not just selling the specials if you know what I mean. He didn't steer us wrong. Lobster Roll! I have found very, very few good lobster rolls in the state of Michigan and you can count on this one to deliver. Fresh, tasty and a big enough portion that my wife and I split it for a light lunch. Fries were also first class. This is a must stop in a very restaurant populated area. read more

One of our favorite places in Saugatuck. Ambiance and service were both great as always. Had the Little Jerry goes to Thailand and the Dutch Baby Pancake. Both were great. We had the crispy olives as an appetizer and they were outstanding! read more

Super cute spot with such a fun aesthetic! I was SO excited to try Lady Bird after my girlfriend recommended it because her sister is actually using them as the caterer for her wedding reception. So naturally, I had pretty high expectations going in. I was super impressed with the appearance and overall atmosphere. The vibes are definitely there! Service was just okay, although I honestly feel like we may have caught our server on a bad day. To be fair, I was meeting up with my girlfriends and we hadn't seen each other in forever, so we were definitely that table that wasn't ready to order because we were too busy catching up . I can totally understand how that could be annoying to serve. I ordered the seasonal salad and asked to substitute the shaved Gouda for goat cheese. Unfortunately, instead, they changed the balsamic dressing to a blue cheese dressing, and they also forgot the chicken I ordered with it. The bill was also pretty chaotic, but I completely understand that splitting a bill several different ways can get confusing. Our server was apologetic about everything, and honestly, I feel like we just caught her on a bad day, so I don't want to judge the restaurant too harshly based on one experience. My friend ordered the flatbread, which was actually SO good! That was definitely the highlight food-wise. Overall, I'd probably come back and try some of the other food. I don't think I gave this place a fair chance since I ordered a salad. I really liked the atmosphere, and I'm still curious to try more of the menu but I will say the menu is on the more expensive side and after reading all of the other reviews, it definitely creates some hesitation. The food experience was a little hit-or-miss, but the vibes were definitely there. So I'll give it 3 stars because of the atmosphere but so far, not impressed with the food. read more

We finally made it here for our anniversary dinner. We both work remotely so we got dressed up more than anyone else as we are usually in sweats. It was Tuesday night, but only one side of the restaurant was busy. We were told we could sit anywhere, so we chose a table at the back of the restaurant. I felt bad for our server, Ryan, as he seemed like the only taking tables with a bartender on the other side helping out when she probably wasn't busy making drinks. We were worried at first how the service was going to be but after we placed our order our food got there pretty quickly. He was quite helpful with the recommendations on the menu. I started with crab cocktail, had the grouper for my main meal. My husband got the filet mignon with the mushrooms and risotto. That was really flavorful and we really enjoyed the sauce and could stop talking about it while having it. I think Ryan might have been anxious to see us go as he got placed our check on the table before I got a chance to ask about desserts. He did give a couple options of key lime pie and coconut cake, which I went with the latter and received an amended check. Everything was delicious. We'll definitely be back but maybe not for a special occasion because it just doesn't feel like a celebratory place maybe more causal every day. read more

We have enjoyed BirdDog in Mattawan so were both surprised and delighted to discover Lady Bird while visiting Fennville recently. If you can arrange to arrive between 3-5, there's an advantageous happy hour. We enjoyed oysters, a creative shrimp cocktail with gazpacho, lobster roll and smashburger. Food was fresh and delicious and the service was attentive. Will return when we are next in the area. read more

Came for Saturday brunch and had no problem getting a table at 10am. I ordered a traditional breakfast with sourdough and bacon. The bacon was pretty fatty and a little undercooked but the rest was good. My friend got the French toast and enjoyed. read more

Ladybird was our first lunch stop and wow... what a way to kick things off. The vibe was spot on fun, relaxed, and just a great place to hang out. Our waitress was amazing and super friendly, which always makes a difference. But my chicken sandwich... listen... I'm convinced they gave me the whole chicken. It was massive but also SO good. Juicy, flavorful, and worth every bite. Paired with a yummy glass of wine? Perfect lunch. We will absolutely be back and next time we're coming hungry for dinner. read more

On paper this place looks solid. It's a great location, the restaurant has a neat design/exterior and the menu (on paper) is killer. That's where it ends, hard stop. We ventured out to the area for a rare night out with another couple and I left embarrassed for recommending this place. Our entrees, salads, apps, and a soup literally all came at the same exact same time. Annoying and incredibly unappealing for a "fine dining" restaurant. No apology, just threw the food down/. Red flag one. Repeatedly forgot drink orders, instead of apologies and quick fixes. Passive aggressive responses about how long ago the order was placed. Completely forgot items we ordered. The lobster roll was a complete swing and miss, not even close to being on par with east coast or southern expectations. My wife's meal (steak frites) was cooked to mimic beef jerky. We came here expecting to enjoy a night away from our kids, have some cocktails and hoping to enjoy a nice meal. Instead I left thinking we could have had a better experience at Applebees. I wouldn't come back here if they offered a free retry. Better options out there. Edit: for the record 2 weeks in and the restaurant didn't even reach out to apologize. This place an utter scam and trash. Don't even consider wasting your hard earned money here. read more

Tom was awesome! He was fast, friendly and very accommodating! My husband had the Wagyu Pastrami Benedict and said it was amazing! read more

Food was good but a bit overpriced for what we got. Service missed the mark. The first thing that we were told upon arrival was that they were out of oysters. There was no greeting or introduction by our server. As we sat we saw all 3 tables outside turn over at least twice and we saw 90% of the tables order and get oysters. If a food item is something you need to put in a special request in advance for, that's fine. But don't say you're out of them. It's a bad look. We sat in the bar area at a window seat and it was very lovely. Don't know that I would return if given the opportunity though. read more

-Great HH deal 3-5PM Tuesday-Friday -Drinks were tasty (and a great value) -Food was alright - the shrimp and green beans were overly battered, but the dipping sauce was rich and flavorful -Burger was fine, nothing to write home about -Oysters were a total miss - did not taste fresh and we found a few broken shell pieces in the actual bite. Would not get even if they're only $2/oyster -Service was slow, but we weren't in any rush so it wasn't a big deal 3/5 because of the HH deal only read more

Sometimes things don't go as planned. The staff at Lady Bird this morning was challenged by rain, two coffee machine failures, short staff, and the business of an opening weekend at the start of the summer season. Regardless, they rose to the occasion and ensured we had a delicious and graciously served brunch. I especially appreciated how the team clearly let potential diners know - as soon as they came in the door - that food would take around an hour to get to the tables of those choosing to stay. The integrity in setting realistic expectations for diners was refreshing and made me want to root for them (and not against them). I look forward to returning for another delicious meal in the future! read more

Stopped in for dinner on a Saturday, 6;00pm. No wait time. Sat outside and it was very nice. Drinks and appetizers were delicious. Service was a bite slow. Found a long hair in our main dish. No recognition from management. That ruined the entire experience. Service is always key no matter the industry. Very sad this was our experience. read more

Just finished dinner at the ladybird restaurant with 11 of my friends I had the filet mignon one of the best I've ever had and we split the BLT salad, which was fabulous as well. Service was great. Ambience was great. It was nice to have outdoor seating and enjoy the wonderful summer evening .Matt, the owner of the restaurant , came up and was very accommodating and it was definitely worth the evening out. I highly recommend it if you're ever in Saugatuck, Michigan read more

We had brunch there today, our party of 8 were seating quickly at noon on a Sunday. Service was good, food came out timely and most importantly it was delicious. 3 of us ordered their standard breakfast -- 2 over-easy eggs, bacon, cheesy potatoes, green salad and sour dough toast. 2 ordered the Wagyu pastrami Benedict which they said was excellent. I took away one star because I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich to-go and my husband said there was too much sauce and it overpowered the sandwich. It was too sloppy to even hold. He didn't eat it and he hadn't eaten all day, so that's saying something. Maybe if the sandwich had been eaten at the restaurant it would have been ok, but then the cooks need to know to skimp on the sauce or better yet, put it on the side for take-out. read more

Had lunch there today and what a great discovery! We get so tired of the fried food/tavern fare and bar scene in these resort towns. This restaurant is one street back from the main street and is a hidden gem. Fresh food, interesting menu and drinks, great service, indoor and outdoor seating and very reasonable prices! We'll be back! read more

I'll start with the good: The cocktails were very tasty and it's an aesthetically pleasing setting. The brussel sprouts were also worth mentioning. Not so good: The menu didn't have accurate description of our food items. The salt and pepper shrimp appetizer don't say anything about being deep fried- the shrimp and the green beans are battered and fried. The beet salad didn't say anything about greens and it was 90% arugula and parsley (which my friend is allergic to) and there was only 1 tiny dollop of goat cheese and 1 small slice of grapefruit.. oh the deviled egg was awful too. $18 for a tiny sprinkle of caviar on an underwhelming deviled egg on a plate of cream. Nothing besides the brussel sprouts had any good flavor. read more

Really. F_ckin'. Good. We were PLEASANTLY surprised when we chose Lady Bird for our business lunch. Working in 12 restaurants, we notice (and yes, often nitpick) the little things. From the decor, to the menu, service, presentation, and (duh) the food, we wholeheartedly enjoyed our lunch. As a Saugatuck native, we're always happy to find a restaurant that chooses upscale and STAYS on brand. We ordered the crab cakes, tots, mac and cheese, and the chicken sandwich. All dishes tasted as good as they looked. Specifically, we'd like to compliment LB on the chicken's honey (maybe) rub that was just the right amount of sweet. Further, the tots were dynamite and even had little scattered bacon cubes in the dish. Again, great dining experience from entrance to exit. We look forward to our next Lady Bird outing! read more

Yelp asks the question what could improve after giving this restaurant a one star rating. Well, where to begin... We were a large group of 9 adults. The reservation was made 24 hours ahead, so plenty of time to bring in additional servers to help with a busy Sunday night at the restaurant. Instead we had one very harried server who was waiting on several outdoor diners on the patio. Not really fair to that server and there was definitely some attitude shown. And the walk to the kitchen is far when any additional request was made...so the wait time was long or the item never received. This included our first round of cocktails and the wine that showed up at the end of the meal. The starters ordered were probably the best thing on the menu. Do not order a steak. Medium cooked request was served raw with an outside sear. The cake we brought in and offered to pay a service charge to slice, never happened...in fact, the front host when I went to give my credit card before the meal began (I wanted to pay for the table)...said to me...oh, you're the table with the cake...and he was very disgruntled when he said it. Considering that Saugatuck/Douglas has a limited amount of nicer restaurants to go to...all basically with the same uninspired menus...best to go to the Lake Vista SuperValu store and cook at home or your AirB&B. This place ranks as one of the worst experiences our group ever had. The nearly $800 bucks spent would've gone a whole lot farther at SuperValu & a whole lot better tasting without the attitude. Save your money! read more
