Trendy haunt for New American fare. Hip, bi-level spot featuring Italian-accented New American fare, wine & art featuring boomboxes.
A full meal at Charlie Birds.. was very happy with all of my dinner choices! Loved the burrata and squash combo, tartar and steak! Portions were very small/ European sized; I definitely could have ordered more as we shared all these plates. Good vibes but extremely loud music inside.
Great vibe, great wine list, waiter was amazing. Was passionate about wine and about making sure we have a good time. Food was also delicious m, the faro salad is a must as it was one of the best salads I’ve had. The ravioli were also absolutely fantastic.
A beautiful place. If you were looking for a good date-night place, look no more! The interior is stylish, bar looks great as well as the dining area. We shared a few dishes. This place has a small menu, but everything on it is delicious. Be sure to try oysters, steak, smoked pasta and ferro salad. Also, you can't go wrong with the olive oil ice-cream for the desert. They have a great variety of wines, and just let the staff know what's your preference- you will get the good recommendation. This will be my go-to place if I need to impress someone in New York. Compliments to the chef!
This place is so cool! From the hip menu to the wine list to the amazing food! Love love love everything! We came across this place looking for the best Cacio e pepe in the city. Here’s everything we ordered: - focaccia: scrumptious is the word I would describe it. - farro salad - as much as I hate to say it, the salad was the highlight of my meal. I cannot recommend it enough. From the freshness to flavors to everything! Get 1 for yourself and don’t share! - cacio e Pepe - we came for the star and it did not disappoint. I especially liked the red pepper (Aleppo?) topped on top of the pasta which was a unique touch to a classic. Definitely amongst the top 5 in the city!
We had brunch reservations for indoor dining, but due to the beautiful weather day of, we decided to dine outside in their gorgeous outdoor seating area. Not that it makes a difference to us, but it was a bit of a surprise when they still required to see our vaccination cards to dine outside! The menu for brunch is quite simple and short. It would have been nice to be offered a few for brunch style dishes besides just a frittata and whole grain pancakes. We started off with the oysters and burrata, and both ended up ordering pasta as our main. The oysters were delicious! The vinaigrette that it comes with was really good too. The local burrata was so creamy and perfect! Great pairing with the squash and toasted bread. As for pasta, we ordered the bolognese and the carbonara. The bolognese was a bit light and lacked a little flavor in my opinion, but the carbonara was absolutely delicious! I could have ate another plate of that! I would have loved to order a side of the Tuscan fried chicken, but $21 seemed a bit too steep for a “side” so we decided not to go with that option. Overall satisfied and would love to come back and try dinner one day in the future :)
Solid 3. Started off on the wrong foot when they pour a “glass” of wine that lasts about three sips (see picture). Roasted scallops were too spicy to the point where you can’t enjoy the rest of the food. Vegetables were fresh and served in unique dressings. Cavatelli was eh - had way better. Wouldn’t return.
One of our favorite restaurants in NYC — excellent food and service, good music, beautifully designed space. Worth a visit. Their outside area is a lovely place to eat, too.
My first time at Charlie Bird. Seems to be a popular place; there was a full house. Service was very good. The wine steward was very knowledgeable. Table spacing is very tight, hence the 4stars on atmosphere. I ordered scallops for my main course which was very good (all 3 of them). There is a section on the menu under "large plates" which normally implies can be shared, but in this case it means your will be be served on an actual large plate; portions are small.
