Tonight two of my friends and I came here for dinner, this was our first time here. It wasn't too busy which was great for us. The restaurant was beautiful. Love the white and brown interior. When we walked up the steps the server saw us and we went inside. We sat in the dining area in the back which was perfect. The server was nice and friendly (we didn't her name). We order cocktails. We all order martinis. Mike and I had a Pomegranate Lemon Drop, and John had a Dirty Martini. Our dinner was good. John and I both had roasted tomatoes and red pepper soup (yummy). I had the shaved Brussels Salad as my dinner. John had the Winter Beet Bowl, and Mike had the Roasted Duck. Everything came out on time, our server came over to make sure everything was fine. We met Matt (chef/owner) making sure our evening went great. We had a great talk about the restaurant and he and his team did an amazing job. The dessert was good too (NY Cheesecake with/blueberries). Overall we like it we will come back. Also, I saw on the website about the apartment upstairs above the restaurant. That's a great idea for a group of friends who want to come up for a weekend and explore Saugatuck read more

Lovely restaurant in old house with great service. Went for Sunday brunch and food was amazing. I had the chip and dip omelette with sour cream chips and Boursin cheese. Loved it. My son had the elk scramble with elk sausage and it was very nice. The salmon Benedict was excellent. Service good. Highly recommend read more

Oh yum! The vegetarian offerings, though limited, are top notch! I really enjoyed my hierloom bowl and the variety of textures. Plus, the portion size matches the price tag. I also have to give a shout-out to the chicken-fried mushrooms. Puh-lease keep it on the menu for the foreseeable future! read more

We went to Lady Bird for the deep-fried olives. We stayed for the incredible food and the light bright atmosphere. The cocktails were refreshing, the food was amazing and the service was exceptional. Ladybird, which is a house turned restaurant is a great little find at the corner of Griffith and Mason. If you're looking for good, relax, dining this is the place for you. read more

First and last visit to Lady Bird. Five stars for food, one star for service which was simply not acceptable for a restaurant with premium prices. Following are some of the issues during our recent visit: - the menu needs to be updated or servers should be aware which menu items are not available. Two items, including a beer recommended by the server, were ordered despite not being available. - servers should know the basics about menu items. The only available cider was advertised as dry and turned out to be sweet. There is nothing wrong with admitting ignorance unlike misinforming the customer. -restrooms were dirty shortly after dinner service was started- clearly not cleaned prior to evening rush hour. -the main room is very loud making it very difficult to carry a conversation. On a positive note- food was hot and very tasty. read more

**Updated Review for Lady Bird** Let's talk about Lady Bird. The food? Sensational. And when I say sensational, I mean it in the old-fashioned sense of the word--so good it's practically scandalous. The shrimp cocktail, for instance, is not your average crustacean dipped in cocktail sauce. No, it's a revelation, a symphony of complex flavors that one rarely encounters outside of a dream or a Michelin-starred fantasy. Then there's the pasta with sun-dried tomatoes. It's the kind of dish that makes you question every other pasta you've ever had. Rich, balanced, and so savory it should be classified as a controlled substance. The sea bass was perfect, which is to say it was cooked exactly as it should be but rarely is. Flaky, tender, and leaving you with a profound sense of gratitude. And the crab and haddock? Don't even get me started. Fresh, expertly prepared, and the kind of thing that makes you want to write a thank-you note to the ocean. As for the waitstaff, they've undergone a transformation. Friendlier, more attentive, and genuinely delightful. It's as if they've been replaced by their much more charming doppelgängers. In short, a great time was had by all. Lady Bird, you've outdone yourself. Bravo. read more

Went here for lunch. Had the swordfish and the brussel sprouts. Coconut cake and key lime pie for desert (I wasn't eating alone ). The decor and service was great. The food was exceptional. It's not inexpensive, but I'm cool with paying for great food. Highly recommend it and plan to go back next Friday night with friends we're bringing in to try it. My new favorite restaurant in Saugatuck. read more

We were pleasantly surprised to get a seat on short notice! Excellent location and the food really was outstanding. It is pricey for sure (34$ up charge for adding steak to salad) but in all fairness it was really cooked to perfection. There are more reasonable (and yummy options). It's high quality food done right. Portion size on fish and steak were on the smaller side. Smash burger was a favorite among all as well as vegetable side dish. The waitress asked us a few times to split the bill down the middle and we relented but afterward wish we hadn't. It made for an awkward reconciling after. We would return esp for salads and burger. read more

What a great new addition to downtown Saugatuck! Hospitable staff and owner. The 'Seafood Tower' is unmatched! read more

Lady Bird - Seafood tower. - Salad Near Me - Saugatuck, Michigan

Great food but the staff is rude and slow. 3 of us went for a happy hour and we were the first there. The waitress took ten minutes to come back to the table. We still were the only ones there. When she did come back, she took drink orders and hid out at the bar. We were the only customers there for the first 45 minutes. Got drinks and she said she had to go get her pen to take our orders. Our drinks were actually consumed and she still wasn't back, we had to go find her! She was at the bar on her phone. I asked for the check and we left. We were planning on eating but did not get that chance. We went to Phil's and had a great meal. read more

Solid food options; great tasting food. Enjoyed everything we ordered. Thank you for a wonderful meal

We arrived somewhere around 6pm and were almost the only ones in the restaurant and we were the only ones in the outdoor area in back. The point being the staff wasn't overwhelmed with tables. Our Server couldn't have cared less. No one came to see if we needed anything at any point during our meal or asked if everything was ok. No drink refills- nothing. The hair in the lobster salad (seafood tower) didn't help and no one liked the hot table water from the dispenser sitting in direct sunlight. Perhaps some ice in the glasses would help? Details regarding the seafood tower ($175). We received a $25 discount for the hair in the lobster salad. The crab tasted weird/not right. The shrimp was good, the lobster was good, the tuna poke was good but they give you 4 -6 tortilla chips to eat what's served which is not enough (we would have politely asked for more had anyone cared to ask us if we needed anything), the oysters were just ok. When a table is ordering one of your most expensive items you might want to check in on them. French fries were the highlight of the meal. We were celebrating a birthday and would've stayed and ordered more had anyone cared to ask us while we were there. Instead since we were basically invisible so we requested the check at our first opportunity and tried to end that experience as quickly as possible. I don't see us going back to Lady Bird. read more

What a great addition to Saugatuck. The cocktails were great and the food looked incredible. We'll definitely be going back to take advantage of the happy hour deal too. read more

Love this place! Food, cocktails, service all perfect. We have been 4times this season. Nick has taken very good care of us. High recommendations for chicken sandwich (little Jerry goes to Thailand) crispy, moist chicken with a great spicy slaw! Just the right amount of kick. Chicken salad in croissant, whipped ricotta, crispy olives. Lots of options in Saugatuck but this is really a step above most of them! read more

Service atmosphere and good was amazing. Highly recommend. My husband got the filet and it was cooked perfect and tasted delicious. We dove in so fast we didn't get pictures. read more

The drinks were weak and the service lax. When I mentioned that we were surprised by our drinks, the server actually became unpleasant and argued with me. As year-round residents, we eat out a lot in Saugatuck and Douglas. There are several quite good restauants. We won't be back to L.ady Bird. read more

Ashley was the best server! She gave us wonderful recommendations for food and drinks, but I do t think you could go wrong!

Absolutely best place I have eaten. I highly highly recommend lady bird! We came up for a girls trip and were absolutely blown away by the staff, the bartender and the food! The restaurant was clean and very modern. With the highest regards, please eat here! read more

We LOVE Lady Bird! The space is quaint and beautiful. We are thrilled to have another restaurant to dine at in the Saugatuck/Douglas area. The shaved Brussels sprout salad is one of our faves with the sliced pear, pecorino cheese and honey lemon vinaigrette. It is so light and refreshing. We also love the pork chop and whitefish pate with crispy toast points. So yummy! Can't wait to visit again next time we're in the area. read more

Lady Bird is my new favorite go-to spot in Saugatuck! The quality of the food matches the price and I cannot rave enough about the food and drinks. They make everything in house! Also their key lime pie might be the best I've ever had. The staff is very friendly and accommodating! They only serve brunch Friday - Sunday and the brunch menu does not disappoint. The aesthetic is super cute inside and out. Would recommend to anyone and everyone who is visiting Saugatuck. read more

I will start off by saying I REALLY wanted to like this place. This corner of downtown Saugatuck always seems to struggle, and I was hoping this spot would finally bring life to this particular area. We checked out reviews on Google (since there are more reviews there) and saw some disparaging comments, but overall saw really positive feedback. Sadly our experience did not reflect the rave reviews we saw. I know this place just opened up about two months ago, so I am hopeful it will grow, improve, and smooth out the rough ends in the coming weeks. The Good: - I was really impressed with the drink menu. The wine selections were on point and the cocktail offerings were tasteful and diverse. - The food menu options were equally tasteful and diverse, with meat, seafood, and vegetarian offerings. - At the recommendation of our server, I ordered the fluke and enjoyed both the fish and the heirloom tomato salsa. - I appreciated our server's honesty in answering my questions and helping me select a great dish. The Bad (with recommendations): - Although overall I enjoyed my dish, the lump crab was extra fishy and quite unpalatable. It would have been a better dish without the crab altogether, so I recommend either making sure the crab is in excellent shape before serving, and if not, then just omit it. - My friend ordered the duck and it was hard to justify the $42 price tag. It was *maybe* 3oz of overcooked, yet somehow fat unrendered duck breast that was tough and chewy. I suggest reexamining how you are currently cooking the duck breast to make sure the fat renders and the meat doesn't overcook. I also suggest increasing the portion size OR reducing the menu price. - A produce sticker was left on the rind of a lemon slice that was used as garnish, which isn't terrible, but gives the appearance that the fruits aren't properly washed before using. Please be meticulous in removing those stickers during the wash process. - The space was really loud, which made conversation really challenging to the point where we just didn't talk much. Some acoustic paneling would serve well in the space. - The server floor was also super chaotic, disorganized, and loud. Servers were yelling at each other across the room to communicate and multiple different servers came up to us over the course of our meal to ask if we had already been served. I recommend additional training for server etiquette for more classy establishments as this place (and price tags) aspires to be. The Ugly: - Unfortunately, there were a few ugly elements to our experience here. We are certain there were bloody (unknown if animal or human origin) thumbprints on the rim of the plate, which only became obvious as blood and not the demi-glaze as it dried and the food was eaten. By the time it was undeniably dried blood, the food had all been consumed and a little late to complain. Regrets and fault on our side for not examining that more closely ahead of time and raising the issue early on for the restaurant to be able to address it. Hopefully no illnesses will come from that, but we are keeping an eye out over the next few days. - The toilet seat in one of the restrooms was visibly dirty and definitely needed to be cleaned. Overall, the foundation for a fantastic restaurant is there. However, hygiene and value for money need to be addressed to ensure repeat customers (especially those during the off-season) and, ultimately, long term success. Good luck!! read more

Lady Bird - The fluke entree topped with the lump crab and tomato salsa - Salad Near Me - Saugatuck, Michigan

A reasonably new spot in Saugatuck, Lady Bird was a happy find resulting from the recommendation of one of the high-end shop owners. They clearly are serious about their food and cocktails. I love to cook and rarely do we have restaurant meals that exceed what we do at home most nights. Lady Bird was one of those nights and both my and my wife's dinners were the best meals at a restaurant in a very long time. read more

The food was fantastic and the service great. Great atmosphere. We shared an appetizer and had dinner salads so we had room for the key lime pie read more

We had a wonderful meal at Ladybird. Everything we ordered, drinks and food, was delicious! I had the pork tomahawk and it was fantastic. Highly recommend.

I want to love this restaurant and hope this 1 experience is an outlier. I ordered the sword fish (salmon was farm raised so a 'no go') and it came with potato hash which was heavier than expected for a fish entree, however, it was the mushrooms that were a real problem. They were so tough I had to spit them out as they were not 'chewable' but more like trying to eat rubber. Really, really awful for $45- or at any price! The waitress had an attitude and seemed very unhappy to be there. It was difficult to get her attention and she seemed to take pleasure in ignoring us. It was not at all busy but she seemed to have other things to do! Unfortunately not a good experience either for food or service! read more

Will def come back but there is room for improvement. Our waiter was awesome but unfortunately the staff has to trudge through the pea gravel they have mounded in the patio area. I guess pavers or something will go in later this year but for now it's very hard to walk in. No way a stroller or heels could make it out there. Our food was pretty good. Loved the lobster roll but sweet salty chips were a bit over done. The turkey BLT was good but lacked enough turkey amd was sliced quite thin. Fries were yummy and crispy and not overdone as seen in some pics. The star was key lime pie. Would go back just for that alone. But I will come back. Everything was very pretty. Location great. Maybe we will try dinner or brunch next time! read more

Simply put--First Rate! We're originally from Chicago and are accustomed to world class restaurants. My wife has been a personal chef. At the risk of sounding immodest--we know good food when we have it. Have been continually disappointed in West Michigan. Not this time. Everything we had from the salad to the desserts were fantastic! We are so thrilled to have found Lady Bird and will come back often. read more

Visited here with a friend a few weeks ago. When we put our name on the waitlist, we were told it would be about 30 minutes before we were seated. We came back after not receiving a call from the hostess after about 40 minutes. We were then told she wasn't sure how long it was going to be and had no clue of an estimate. There were a ton of seats open outside and inside, but we assumed maybe they didn't have the staff to serve us. We waited about 45 more minutes until finally we were seated. Once we were seated, my friend ordered the smash burger. I ordered the lobster roll. The smash burger was supposed to come with the Special Sauce, Aged White Cheddar, & Steamed Onions on it. My friend asked the server to add lettuce, tomato and pickle on it. He looked at her like she was crazy. Then he stated he would be sure that would be added. When the burger came out, the two patties were burnt, with no Special Sauce, Aged White Cheddar, & Steamed Onions. There was only lettuce, tomato, and pickle on it. My friend then asked a different server if she could have the missing items on it. By this time, I was done with my food. The lobster roll had a large shell in it, but tasted fine. He took the burger back, and within a minute or two, she got the same burger back with a small square of cheese on it, a few onions, and still no sauce on it. It had a random few salad pieces on the side as if they had tried to make the plate look better. She then asked another server if she could speak with a manager. The burger looked as if it had been manhandled. There were fingerprint marks in the bun and it just looked tragic. Someone right next to us had the same burger and it looked delicious. A manager then came to speak with us. My friend explained the situation. She then asked if the burger could be remade. The manager was nice enough to get the burger remade and it looked completely different. Juicy, fresh, with all the toppings she asked for and a whole different kind of bun. We appreciated the manager for helping us out and making the situation right. We did not have to pay for our appetizer or her meal which was very nice. I just hope this was a one-off experience and that not everyone has poor experiences like this. read more
