Bluebird Brasserie - Sherman Oaks

Great food and service. table set up is kind of suffocating but i didn’t ask to move so that’s on me.

I'd go back, maybe. I ordered the wrong dish at my first attempt of this restaurant. I ordered the cassoulet and it was spun with spices, no fumigation. I never send food again, but in this case. one of my food companions said he had already got it and liked it, so maybe it was just one night with the cook. To replace my cassoulet, I ordered an impossible meat cheeseburger with fries and that was pretty good. they did not blame me for the cassoulet, and the staff was very solicitous to make sure that I was satisfied with my next court on both points that were good to see. my companions enjoyed all their food, so I will assume that my cassoulet was one of bad orders. in short: very cute interior, GREAT staff, relatiw cheap farewell (if I remember correctly ran $16 to $22), somewhat limited weinlist through the glass, but they have a good choice of beer. one of my friends got the beer flight and we had a good time to taste it.

We come here for the mussels-they were too small tonight. Great beer! Salmon is good. Small amount though. Good service. Bring back the large mussels!! Still like the place though.

Food was bad. I actually sent back my Steak Frites because the steak was like a rubber dog toy. It belonged at a Denny’s, not a $32 option on a menu. Not confident the next attempt of the steak would be any better, I changed to the burger. It was ok. Could have had more flavor. The ambiance is cool with the bricks. But I’m sure the layout of the bricks amplified the sound in there because you could barely hear someone across from you. Belgian beers were good which is the only reason I’d go back. Sit at the bar and have a few beers. Waiter and staff were really nice which made the bad food even more frustrating.

It pains me to write a negative review; I never have before. But the food at this restaurant will be remembered by my friend and me as the worst meal out we've ever had.
