We are always so pleased when we bring friends and family to Bluebird Kitchen. The menu choices are great and the appetizers are always changing. We had the shrimp and seaweed appetizer and it was delicious and different. We had leftovers to bring home and my niece will not have to cook for two days. Always a great atmosphere and the staff as usual were great. Our favorite is the Brick chicken which we get as takeout when we do not feel like cooking

We went during happy hour, which was awesome. Cocktails from the specialty menu were all three dollars off. Oysters are buy one for a dollar so we bought a dozen. Of course they were amazing. We also ordered from the early bird prefix menu, which I didn’t realize they had until we got there. I was able to get the linguine and clams, which were delicious. Plus a bowl of New England Clam chowder for a great price.
