We ordered filet mignon with baked potato & veggies, New york strip with mashed potatoes & veggies & Chicken piccata with veggies. Everything was full of flavor. Filet mignon was perfectly seasoned & tender. My carrots in my veggies were hard and dry. But that would be the only complaint. I however had enough delicious food on my plate to not care about missing out on carrots. My son ordered the kids pollo asado( grilled chicken) with rice & beans. Delicious. Wine is a generous pour. Service was friendly, attentive & all orders came out correctly. Restaurant was clean and country decor. Will definitely be returning to try out the breakfast & Mexican food.

Vibe felt like they'd put some money in to the remodel and upkeep, leading to a bright, contemporary vibe that managed to preserve the original feel. Was here for a vendor event, where the extensive beer selection, accessed by self-service RFID cards, worked better in theory than reality. They measure the pours at each machine and it's quite interactive, but it felt like a bunch of the kegs were empty (so the corresponding dispensers were not working), and there were definitely some issues with the RFID system that they, to their credit, did get sorted out. Chips and guac are good and hard to mess up, the carne asada tacos were very good, the chicken tacos were pretty forgettable. 3.5 stars. Tempted to rate higher but they seem to promise a bit more than they delivered.

Our table ordered the Ricotta Pancakes, Eggs Benedict, French Toast, and the Seasonal Scramble, and every dish was outstanding. The food was beautifully plated, arrived fresh, and was full of flavor. It's clear that a lot of care goes into both the presentation and preparation of the meals. The Ricotta Pancakes were light and delicious, the Eggs Benedict was cooked perfectly, the French Toast was flavorful and satisfying, and the Seasonal Scramble was fresh and well-balanced. Every member of our group thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Overall, Rainbird delivered a great dining experience with exceptional food. While service was a little slow at the beginning, the quality of the meal made it well worth the wait. We will definitely be back and look forward to our next visit.

Service was very helpful and we enjoyed some great drinks- I do wish they were a bit bigger! We started with the burrata with prosciutto endive and seasonal melon. I am not a melon fan but wow!! So good! The bread basket is a must- their homemade sourdough with whipped ricotta. We enjoyed a perfectly cooked Seabass over seasonal veggies. The mushroom risotto is very rich and flavorful. The star was the smoked short rib! Wow!!! So much flavor. Loved the presentation but cutting corn off cob is messy! For dessert a strawberry shortcake that took me back to my grandpa's kitchen table!

They got everyone seated quickly, took our orders efficiently, and our food came out faster than I expected (even with a chicken fried steak in the mix).

The hash browns were crispy, the waffles were perfect, and everything tasted great. We all had such a good time. I'm so impressed and can't wait to come back. Highly, highly recommend!

From…read morethe moment I walked in, the nostalgic decor and welcoming atmosphere set the stage for a satisfying meal. The service was attentive and friendly, making me feel right at home. I opted for the chicken parmesan sandwich, and it exceeded my expectations. The chicken was perfectly breaded and cooked to a golden crisp, while the marinara sauce added a rich, tangy flavor that complemented the dish beautifully. The generous layer of melted cheese on top was the icing on the cake, making each bite utterly delightful. The fries served alongside were equally impressive--cooked to perfection with just the right amount of crunch. They were seasoned well and made an excellent accompaniment to the sandwich. Overall, this diner encapsulated everything one could hope for: quality food, prompt service, and an inviting ambiance. I left feeling satisfied and eager to return for another meal. Whether you're craving classic comfort food or just looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a meal, this diner is definitely worth a visit.

Staff here are friendly, there's a solid bit of history and kitsch in the very back on the way to the restrooms, giving character to what is otherwise a decidedly local, low-frills experience. The steak salad (was it a steak taco salad?) looked quite tasty but also ordinary so I skipped it and stuck with breakfast; the sausage and eggs were very much unremarkable, but at least the hashbrowns were nicely pan fried and the eggs were a large portion. Biscuit and gravy reinforced the former impression, but again, hard to complain-- did the job. This place is super affordable and the overall verdict is a solid local place that's easy to appreciate but hard for me to say I would actually get excited about.

It is the sirloin steak dinner you get the sirloin steak which is 8 ounces about an inch and a half thick so it's perfect if you like your medium rare.
