Bluebird Kitchen — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

I couldn’t even wait to get home to write about my experience. Just dined here tonight with my husband and daughter. Do not go here unless u have ski resort wear and can eat your food in less than five minutes to avoid it going freezing cold. The AC was blasting down on my face & food. My daughter’s fries got cold almost immediately after getting them, and shes a toddler they eat slow. My husband ate his dinner but he’s a man he’ll eat anything he's paying for. Firstly, my chicken parm came out alone. You would have thought i told the waiter im lactose intolerant. My chicken PARM was all tomato sauce with 2 droplets of parm, maybe they ran out. I think the point of a chicken parm is for it to be covered with parmesan but i digress. When i couldn’t eat my side pasta (when it came out 5 min after my entree) due to the sauce and pasta getting cold under the below 0 temp AC, i asked if i could replace it with arugula. The waiter suggested a cesar side salad. I doubt he had malicious intentions of keeping the arugula from me but if im paying $31 for two thin chicken cutlets drowned in tomato sauce and a whisper of cheese, just give me the arugula. I feel like that was very diner vibe behavior, but these aren’t diner vibe prices. I hate talking about prices because it isn’t even about that but seriously. $31 for chicken cutlets to have to sit in an antartica simulation, be denied a handful of arugula, basically have an entire keto meal (the cesar came out after i was done), i left half a chicken cutlet because it was just too weird eating with the cold sauce on top and warm meat i hated it. On top of all of this, the manager was walking around to every single table all night. I actually send something back and she didn’t ask me how was everything. I would have loved to tell her how i was feeling instead of having to write a diary entry on google reviews. End of story, its too cold in there, service is like a bit too casual for the price point, and this is my second time back. I was so excited to come back but i won’t be any more. And i don't think anyone should ever come here. I hated my...

Truly disappointed the food made me sick. I've come here twice before and both times really enjoyed the food.

However, tonight I ordered the gnocchi and the smell was BAD as soon as it arrived at the table. I tried to stomach it thinking maybe it was something else in the restaurant and that was a BIG mistake. I immediately felt nauseous after eating some. I told the waitress the chef should know it went bad and that I felt quite sick only minutes after eating it. She then said the chef said they've served 40 gnocchi that night and everyone was fine.

We were planning for dessert but I had to cut the dinner short as I felt super nauseous and my stomach was hurting. I got the bill which still had the gnocchi on it. The waitress said sorry she know I didn't enjoy the food as she could see I was visibly feeling sick (getting paler, couldn't eat the other food, etc). But she didn't take it off. I say this to say if your food is VISIBLY making a customer sick perhaps comping the food that made them sick and not saying everyone else was fine is a better way to keep paying customers.

I will not be coming back which is unfortunate but my stomach is still in knots and I'm extremely nauseous. If they didn't know that food was off who knows what other food is expired that they don't realize? Sadly I can't recommend their food anymore if you want to not...

Was very excited when I saw a new restaurant was finally coming to this space! It has been vacant for years since Red Robin left (which wasn’t good). I tried it tonight and I’m in love!!!

First off, the owner did an amazing job with decor. Beautiful and well designed (even the bathrooms are very nice!). Showed up around 6 on a Thursday night and was greeted by two very nice girls. We didn’t have a reservation but we’re quickly sat at a high top (which has hooks on it to keep your bag and leftovers!)

We decided to just try out various appetizers instead of getting entrees because it was just two of us. We got the mini fried chicken, Zucchini + Eggplant chips with avocado hummus, Smac-n-cheese, fries and Tuna Tartar. Everything was amazing! The fried chicken was the tenderest and juiciest chicken I’ve ever had! The Mac n cheese was super yummy and the tuna tartar was fresh and packed with flavor. The avocado hummus was something different but very good! Even the fries were perfectly crispy and seasoned.

We got the Chocolate Mousse Cake for dessert which comes with a Graham cracker crust and Nutella drizzle. AMAZING!

Looking around the entrees looked amazing and I can’t wait to come back and try them! The wait staff was incredible and very friendly!

This is a really great addition to the area! Can’t wait...
