We always start with chive cakes (4/5)and pretty much always order some version of the Thai fried rice 5/5. It's definitely elevated Thai food. I've also had their cabbage curry (3.5/5), could use a more flavor, but good idea in theory. Their cocktails and mocktails are divine. To elevate a mocktail instead of just making an expensive juice spritz is much appreciated. I must mention we did go here right after our engagement (which happened to be after a 16 hour flight back from New Zealand). As we waited for our takeout, The bartender was kind enough to offer champagne, but we're on a non drinking kick but she cheered me on as I took a million pictures of my ring. Needless to say birdsong is comfort and special for us all at once. A must try.

I had the ground pork Thai basil bowl and my friend had the khao soi noodles which she really enjoyed. My entree was really good as well - the meat was super flavorful and there was lots of basil. We split the housemade ice cream to finish which was a mango sorbet and a vanilla ice cream. It was pretty solid but not worth $14 in my opinion! I'm not in this area much so there are other Thai places I would return to before this one, but definitely a cute spot for date night or a drink on the patio!

This was my first time trying Peruvian food, and I had such a great time! We came during happy…read morehour, hoping to sit at the bar and enjoy the food menu, but unfortunately, the bar seats were full. We ended up sitting at a table and enjoyed a variety of dishes along with some happy hour drinks. The ambiance is clean, modern, and pretty cool. The service was fairly quick overall, and our food arrived fresh without much waiting. My first drink was the white sangria, which was well-balanced, moderately sweet, and refreshing. The wines we tried also had great flavor. The happy hour deals on the alcohol menu are especially generous, so I highly recommend taking advantage of them. The ceviche sampler included traditional, cremoso, and callejero. Each ceviche was unique and packed with flavor. My personal favorite was the street-style ceviche, callejero. The tostones, or crispy fried plantains, were light and crunchy. My partner isn't a big fan of mayo-forward sauces, but he really enjoyed the crab salad topping because it paired well with the tostone. My favorite was the shrimp topping as the shrimp were perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. The conchitas a la parmesana was another interesting dish featuring seared scallops. They were grilled with a creamy Parmesan sauce and served with ciabatta. I found that the sauce was a little overpowering and took away from the scallop itself, but I really enjoyed eating it with the ciabatta. Lastly, we ordered two empanadas: one chicken and one made with a mix of sirloin and tenderloin. The dough was a little too oily for my taste, but it was thin and flaky. The chicken and beef fillings had slightly different seasonings and textures, and both were enjoyable. If I could add one thing, I wish our server had explained more about the menu or drinks when she asked whether it was our first time there. She also wasn't around the table consistently, which made it a little difficult to order additional drinks and dishes. Other than that, we really enjoyed the meal, and I'm glad we came here. I'd love to come back for brunch or another happy hour!

We had wanted to come here for their price fix brunch. The food was pretty good. The tuna tartare…read moretacos were light and fresh. The croquettas were flavorful, crispy outside, soft inside. The tostones were pretty good where the chicken salad was the best. The causa was alright (reminded me of a chicken potato salad but fancy because it was layered). The flan was delicious. Ambience was nice, clean, spacious. There were two other tables in our area and this was around 4 PM on a saturday. Service wasn't the best. Yes we came about 15 minutes before brunch was over, but our server greeted us once, came back right before 4 (when brunch was over) but zipped past us telling us he'll be right with us, and the when he came back to take our order, it was a few minutes after 4 meaning we missed the price fixe brunch and brunch altogether. The restaurant did comp out dessert but we had intended to come for the brunch. Would we come back? Maybe.

Would definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a chill and easygoing spot to grab a drink. If you're not super familiar with cocktails, the bartenders all seem well versed and are able to give great recommendations based on your tastes. I'll be coming back in the future for sure!

I was thinking Italian. I'm Eddie Cano comes up in a lot of searches of 'best Italian restaurants'…read morein the district. I went Saturday evening, made a reservation. I have been to the neighborhood before but not this particular location. I arrive a bit early and get a table immediately. The restaurant is on the dark side so you have to tip your menu toward the table light. I was in the mood for spaghetti and meatballs ( not on the menu) but the waitress took the order without a problem. I also ordered garlic bread. She brought a glass of water and I decided on a glass of wine, pinot noir I think. The garlic bread and wine arrive quick. I'm enjoying the first piece of garlic bread and sipping the wine. Nice! The spaghetti and meatballs came out shortly thereafter. I was a disappointed with this part of the meal. Meatballs lacked flavor. No garlic, no parmesan cheese. The pasta was fine but the sauce was watery and didn't taste like gravy at all. I ate most of it, the garlic bread accenting the meal with the wine. I will probably go back. I like the small mom and pop restaurants like I'm Eddie Cano. Service was very good. I was able to get a reservation. The place was clean. It's coming up on comfort food season and I'm always in the mood for Italian.

My dinner at Buck's Fishing and Camping was the best I have had in a long time....by a long shot…read more This is one of the few restaurants in the area where I can truly feel that the kitchen cares about food. And what a joy that is. Although it has been around for decades, Buck's has adapted deftly to our current inflationary environment. Perhaps a luxurious dish like steak au poivre is not longer affordable? Well then, how about Burger Au Poivre? With top quality toppings creatively prepared: grilled oyster mushrooms, gruyere and white cheddar cheese, and grilled vincotta marinated onions. Oh my word. All of it was beautifully plated on a bed of cracked peppercorn sauce. Of course the meat itself was of excellent quality, perfectly cooked to order at medium rare. At $31 it is not cheap, but I think a bargain for a meal that sends you over the moon. An equivalent quality steak would have been exorbitant. We paired it with asparagus tempura (also excellent), a nice bottle of Montepulciano de Abruzzo, and for dessert, apple crisp. I also truly appreciate that the portions are generous. Another thing that has become rare these days. Given the service and unique ambience, this is a special occasion restaurant that is fantastic bang for the "Buck," while also casual enough for date-night any day of the week.
