Littlebird - Grand Rapids (MI)

4 /5 Irisha Banal: Went there for breakfast on a Sunday, and were seated pretty quickly at the bar they were pretty busy around 11am. They didnt have hot chocolate for a breakfast place so that was kind of a bummer, but the food was pretty good! Service was great and the food came out pretty quickly after we ordered. We got the Shrimp Fried Rice and the Two Eggs, Toast & Potatoes with a side of bacon. Everything tasted really good, although the price is a bit expensive especially for the Eggs, Toast & Potatoes with a side of bacon for $19.50. The Shrimp Fried Rice I feel like could have had a little bit more salt because they leaned a lot on the peanut sauce which was a bit more of a subtle flavor and I thought it would have had more pork belly and shrimp than it had. Overall, the flavors were great. I think just needed a little bit more seasoning to really let those flavors shine.

5 /5 Benjamin Quist: You get fine dining service, yet this is not a fine dining restaurant. This restaurant is very comfortable and cozy. The atmosphere is elegant yet casual. I saved the best for last; the food. The menu is small, but it doesnt matter, because they have something for everyone. Everything is fresh, and made to order, and just fantastic! They do change the menu, so you will want to come back. Get reservations, because this place fills up quickly. We will be back, again and again. Did I mention the service; again, outstanding!

5 /5 Mateo Gebon: I sat at the bar with my friend during my visit to Littlebird. The service was great, and we were able to sit down right away at the bar. I had a Division Bell to drink, and it was smoky and full of orange flavor from the Aperol. The beef tongue pastrami we shared was delicious and unique, and the blue cheese ice cream really amped up the flavor. We both had the squid ink tortelloni, which was also fantastic and filled with a sea urchin mousse. The sauce was to die for. Littlebird provides an elevated experience while still staying down to earth. It’s a great place for a nice night out.

4 /5 Serge V: UPDATE: M-kay, if you love pastrami, this is the right place to go. Next time, I’m going to try them all! As for the main dishes and dessert—proceed with caution. The service keeps being awesome though. Thank you to THE STAFF! Stop reading this — just go. P.S. Left some space for the ice cream. (The atmosphere was ruined because we were seated outside and some bikers were blasting their “cool” music way too loud.)
