We opened…read morewith the deviled eggs served under glass and the hanging bacon, which comes on the cutest little stand with grilled toast and jam. Delicious way to start. The clam chowder was Loaded with clams and Potatoes no skimping. The highlight was the ribeye. Excellent quality and it was cooked absolutely perfectly -- this is quality meat that doesn't need to hide behind a sauce. The French dip - also ribeye, was STACKED on an incredible roll with a mountain of fries. Our friend ordered the crabcake she said super fresh, briny, like the actual ocean. Sides were stellar too! The smashed roasted Brussels sprouts and the Yukon gold mashed potatoes were genuinely some of the best things I've had. We had a French Bordeaux that went beautifully with everything. The chefs came out to chat with us, which was a nice touch. The owner/chef did serious time at Nick and Stef's and Patina here in LA and it absolutely shows. This is LEGIT. I was too stuffed for dessert but I'm already scheming my return trip for the filet, the burger, and those mushroom sides. The Blackbird is the real deal,

    We traveled to Whittier originally to dine at another restaurant, which had been bought out for the…read morenight. Based on reviews we chose to reroute to Blackbird! Immediately upon walking in the mood felt a bit off. We sat and the lone server came over eventually and gave us glasses and water. Time between check ins was quite lengthy. We attempted to order drinks and were told they were out of 6/8 of their beer options. We selected a few cans from the servers descriptions and placed an order for some appetizers. We had all finished our drinks by the time the appetizers arrived and oh no they were also out of the Brussels sprouts so we had to swap to fries. I then asked for a second can of the beer I ordered. The server came back with two different beer cans, and explained they had, you guessed it, run out of the beer I ordered. It appeared these we're the last two cans in the joint. We placed our entree orders. Coq a Vin and lamb shank 86'd. Shocking. We proceeded to wait around 40 minutes before food arrived at our table. The restaurant was half empty. What took so long?! I wish I could stop here and tell you the good food redeemed our experience. Dear reader that was simply not the case. Great : Parker house rolls, the kale and onion sautéed beneath my steak, the garlic aoli the server forgot that we had to ask for. Good : filet mignon 6 oz , medium rare Ok : fries. They were boring and came in huge piles with everything which made the substitute appetizer fries redundant. Wings, though technically they were all full sized drumsticks in place of your traditional flats and drummies. Burger, bacon and caramelized onions were doing all the heavy lifting. Bun excessively sesame seeded. Meh: clam chowder, super boring. Shrimp pasta, lacked flavor Bad : Korean fried chicken sandwich. My guest only managed two bites. The server eventually brought us our bill, which they then had to correct because it still had the missing brussel sprouts on our tab. They comped us one glass of wine, and our dinner was $200, PLUS a 3% surcharge for using a credit card. Suffice to say we don't plan to return.

    My husband and I have been wanting to come back here for a while, so we decided to have dinner here…read moreon Monday for our date night. We started off by ordering drinks; my husband tried their Bodega Brewing Co. 'Mala Suerta' Dark Lager, and I had the Pinot Grigio 2024 La Boatina. Both of our drinks were great! For food we shared the Paella and Satchel's Mac & Cheese. Both dishes were delicious, full of flavor, and had generous portions. We finished off our meal with the Crema Catalana for dessert, which was bright, zesty, refreshing, and tasty! It's a lighter dessert that is just the right amount of sweet. The whole meal was excellent! Clearly a lot of love and energy has gone into this menu. The ingredients are high quality and the dishes are full of flavor. The staff are friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is perfect for a nice evening out. It's very cozy and romantic with beautiful decor. Before tip it was just about $85. Honestly a steal in our opinion, the meal and experience is well worth the money. We've decided: we're crazy for not coming more often after our first visit, and will be back soon and much more often.

The food is on point, the portions actually feel satisfying, and the sangria hits exactly the way it should. No guessing, no surprises -- just good. Now I'm annoyed I didn't try it sooner because this could've been part of my routine a long time ago. I wish they stayed open longer because the way I'm already planning my night around that sangria is wild. I can't wait to go tonight and act like I've been coming here forever.

    I recently discovered The Chicken Koop, and I am addicted!…read more I love getting their half roasted chicken with 2 sides, and it's been on my weekly rotation. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and it's a decent portion for the price. I also like that they have a lot of sides to choose from, and I usually go for the Brussels sprouts and jalepeno Mac and cheese. The plate also comes with a fluffy naan! You can pick 2 sauces to go with it, and my favorite sauce is the green sauce. I tried the garlic chicken plate once, but I prefer the regular roasted chicken. I haven't been in yet, so I can't speak to the service or ambiance, but the food is delicious!

This location is a little different, some of the menu & Happy Hour options vary, and it is much smaller inside, but they also have an outside patio to sit. The service was good, and quick. My daughter came for a specific sandwich that she loves, and said it was equally good at this location. I came for the chicken and waffles, I asked for tenders instead of bone-in chicken pieces, and unfortunately it was not as good as the Alhambra location. The battered coating is different and completely falling off of the tenders, the waffle was a little overcooked as well. The Alhambra location uses a panko crusted breading and it's so good and crunchy! I don't think I would return to this location.

When we arrived, the hostess notified us that they were accepting walk ups and reservations didn't matter. We waited over an hour to be seated. Initially, they sat us separately at two booths. This is unacceptable on Mother's Day when we were trying to celebrate our Grandmother. Thankfully, our waiter was able to clear a spot on the patio. Following being seated, the waiter did not come. I got up and asked if they could come to our table because we have two diabetic family members. The host I spoke with said he would send someone, but there was some attitude. Our waiter came and was kind, but the whole experience has been awful. We waited over an hour and twenty five minutes after being seated for our food to arrive, and they didn't bring it all out at once. My pancakes ended up having a hair in them and had to be sent back. We have since asked for a manager to come to the table 2x, and they have not come. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. It has ruined our last Mother's Day with our grandmother before she moves away later this year. Over two hours wasted total waiting to be seated and for our food to arrive.
