    Looked for a restaurant in the Belleville area as we were meeting a friend from Port Hope for…read morebreakfast. Ended up at Birdy's. Wow!!!! Spectacular breakfast and some of the best customer service ever. Loved the servers and thoroughly enjoyed the food. This place is absolutely top notch and we'll be making the hour long drive from Kingston on the regular. Keep up the great work Birdy's!!!

    Wow, colossal failure. We arrived at 5:15pm and got seated, hearing from the server that 6 tables…read morearrived just before us (should've taken that as a warning). The server who seated us said she would not be serving us but our server would be along shortly. While we waited for our server, the first server seated another couple and immediately took their drink and appetizer order. After 10-15 minutes our 'server' finally arrived. By then we had pored over the beer menu and selected a couple options. She flippantly told us 'nope, not available' to the first three we chose. We finally picked a beer, and ordered our appetizers and mains. About 20 minutes later, 2 tables that arrived well after we did, started getting their apps and mains. After being in the restaurant for 45 minutes with no food in sight, we got up, paid for our beers (which she then said we didn't need to pay for, because she FORGOT TO HIT SEND ON OUR ORDER). Completely unprofessional and our server was robotic and flippant. Steer clear! The place is clearly understaffed and lacks any sort of management presence.

    Moons ago we visited and my first impression was that the…read more Menu was too varied. That's still true but everything we've tried over the past few years has been delicious! The service has never disappointed. This post has been delayed only because I have been waiting for a bad experience that never happened.

My friends had wings and commented that the wings were rather small, compared to the description on the menu. The chicken was good but the topping/gravy was so salty, I had to scrape it off. The chocolate cake, though, was amazing. We had Lacey as server. She seemed to be in a hurry, as she asked us about payment while we were still on our entrees. We told her we wanted dessert and she brought the checks in a rush before serving the dessert. When bringing the dessert, she brought the POS to process payment! There was no asking if we wanted coffee or needed anything else! I work in customer service and being served in this way, is considered rude. Going back? I don't think so. The owner and bus boy seemed lovely - maybe we just struck bad luck with our server. Maybe the manager could teach her to deliver a slice of lemon either in a ramekin or on a side plate, but definitely not by hand and squashing it onto the side of a guest's glass...

    So what do you do in Downtown Belleville on a Sunday morning? The answer is, a lot of walking…read morearound until 11:30, when this restaurant opened. I was greeted warmly when I first got in, and was given my choice of tables by the windows. I sat down and was given the menu and left to order. The menu is a mix of Vietnamese (pho) amd Thai (pad thai). They had a lot of pho choices, but I went with shrimp fried rice, because I wanted a soupless lunch. I also got two spring rolls with ground chicken, pork, and shrimp. The spring rolls were amazing. Crispy without being greasy, and a sweet umami flavor. I don't like ground pork when it has that bonus ammonia flavor, but this ground pork was just sweet and tasty. The dipping sauce was maybe a bit of vinegar, a bit of fish sauce, but its slight tanginess complemented the spring rolls wonderfully. The fried rice came very quickly after the spring rolls were served. Yes, they used frozen vegetables. No, I don't care, because the rice and shrimp were cooked perfectly. Smoky wok hay and a hint of spice, and no clumped rice. There was basil on top which I tore up and mixed in, but there was already some basil there as part of the fry. So some basil notes in most of my bites. The place was super clean and bright, with a nice peaceful vibe augmented by the soft music playing. I would definitely return here at any time if I'm in Belleville, not just at 11:30 a.m.

    As a lover of pho who happened to be in Belleville I stopped by this place to give it a try. First…read morethings first this place had the absolute most friendliest staff in existence. It was the best and I would say if I could that would give this place a six stars if I was basing it off of service alone. The overall vibe is very friendly and comfortable with that big warm bowl of soup in front of you. While everything else was excellent the food could have been better. It wasn't bad food and I quite liked the broth for the pho which had a slight cinnamon flavour to it, but it wasn't knocking me out of the water. Everything was very average pho place and even though it was good it maybe wasn't amazing. Thought being said I come from Toronto where the food is the best ( in my opinion) so I also have extremely high standards which is why I have given it five stars. But other than that I would say that if you come here you will not be disappointed!
