WILDBIRD — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Great food and portions sizes, value for money. Joe the manager is great at giving details of the menu and specials offered. Downside is if your not petite their is some old equipment limiting access to both the fire exit and restroom. Which I'm sure can limit profitable of the business and dining experience. In adding the business seems short handed with all outside dining tables dust and or dirty, the outside floor is fill with trash from bird feathers ( probably going with the theme wild bird hahaha) to ends of food. The giant equipment restricting both the restroom and exit door is still there. Which also can dirty a person's clothing trying to make the tight squeeze. You have to be refered to the Veggie Grill restroom for my plus exotic beautiful person to have your tinkle or fresh up behind taking on the world again.With me having some height I have noticed the tops of both the drink dispenser and water dispenser, both carry the same problem they are loaded with dust as well as some trash. There speaking with the manager Joe I realized him washing dishes by hand, answering the phone, filling up small container condiments, packing delivery orders and still coming from around the counter to service customers and not missing a beat. It's a big stretch to be doing all this with still a truly positive attitude and welcome vibe. Very multitasked individual. I'm sure with his interest in details he would and could do a lot more, yet he is only one person and would need the appropriate help to succeed in the other areas to elevate the space and the business. Not sure if it may be the merch sales are through the roof as there is always only 2 shirts on the rack limiting the options. So in ending with all the dust and unkept spaces this is possibly why they can't keep the door closed. With things like chicken being of a time temperature sensitive basis and fridges or freezers running over time to keep cool in the growing heat of the LA weather. It's possible the one day you could walk and all freezers down and business is out for a while shipping and tariffs being a hassle to try and avoid. And with spending long lengthens of time here Joe's accuracy in delivering products to customers must be exceptional as I never once seen an order returned. Working in the heat of a hot kitchen with the doors of the business open. I call the working under pressure, it could take some persons breathe away yet he's handling the heat. I just like putting a light on persons that you can see are going above and beyond for the operations of a business success. You're the man Joe keep up...

There’s a certain discomfort that washes over me when a place has great reviews but I don’t understand the hype. Is my palate wrong? Was it a bad batch? Or maybe I got the wrong menu items? These are all possibilities, but I want you to factor in that I got WILDBIRD for free. Work paid for it. Free food is always good, right? Right? Hello?

Atmosphere I don’t know! It was delivered.

Service I don’t know! It was delivered.

Food Kind of salty, but not in a flavorful kind of way. I got the chicken tinga with a side of sweet potatoes and chicken tortilla soup. The tinga was fine. It tasted fresh, but also kind of like something I’d have at Lemonade. The rice was fine also. The soup was salty and just okay. The sweet potatoes…you can’t really mess those up, although one time I messed up sweet potatoes by undercooking them. Anyway, everything here tasted fresh and junk but I…I don’t know! Maybe I should lose sleep over this. Or maybe it’ll recede into the land of forgotten meals for me. Who...

I’m currently 9 months pregnant. I walk into wildbird with my toddler who is hungry, and need to use the restroom. I head that direction, and the woman at the counter says I can’t use the restroom unless I buy something. I assured her I was going to buy something, but I’m 9 months pregnant and needed to pee immediately. She told me that I needed to buy something first and she wouldn’t let me in the restroom. I’ve never felt more disrespected as a pregnant mother. My toddler started crying and i just left and went next door. Clearly the woman at the register had never been a mother, because she had zero empathy for someone who was obviously very uncomfortable. I go to salon republic often and usually eat there when I bring my daughter to appts, but I will never step foot in this establishment again. Your staff...
