Great for brunch

Neighborhood gem

We are a restaurant from Chef Albert DiMeglio known from Barano and Rubirosa, that simply wants to be your neighborhood kitchen. A place where everybody knows your name and serves you a thoughtful menu of exactly what you want, and let’s be honest, what you need. We love to do it in a buttoned up, polished way, with lets say… our hair down!

We want to be there for your first dates, family gatherings, business dinners, great parties from 20 to 100, or just that craft cocktail you needed at the end of your day.

Happy to be recognized as Newsday's Feed Me top 100 and Long Island Herald's choice awards finalist.

Love Bluebird! We’ve been a few times and it’s always a good experience. The only reason I gave four stars is because the main dish I had didn’t live up to the standards I’m used to. I had grilled chicken Milanese and it tasted burnt or like there was baste used to make it taste charred. The salad was lovely and everything else we had was great. We had the flatbread, brussels sprouts, and pig in a blanket for appetizers. And we had the flourless chocolate cake, and Zeppoli’s for dessert. All great! Mocktails and cocktails were delicious. And the staff is top notch!

First time here. Food and service were good. Chicken milanese and the pigs in a blanket appetizer were really enjoyable! I did not like my cocktail, it was vodka with lychee and rose petals. I forget the name, but it was way too lychee forward and perfumy. Next time I will try a different one!

Loved the food, and the restaurant itself… Downfall was the service from our waitress… we were a party of 3 for brunch, but one person was running late… when the waitress came to our table, we told her the last person in our party was walking in, and she said “no problem, I’ll be right back to take your order”. The waitress was not the one who took our drink or food order, I want to say it had to be a manager who took our order… everything came out correctly and delicious… when we were done with our food, another staff member brought us our check prematurely, because we wanted to order dessert, and we never asked for the check, so we asked for a dessert menu… Our “original” waitress came to the table to take our dessert order, and we also asked for 3 coffees… the dessert was brought out, but we never received our coffee… the waitress did pass by our table several times and never brought the coffee; we did not mention anything as this is the waitress’ responsibility and she should have brought us what we ordered… when we received the bill, the waitress had the coffees we did not receive on the bill… when she came back to take payment I advised her that we never received the coffee, and she took it off the bill right away… I did not give a less than 4 star review because the food was amazing and aside from the faults of our waitress the service from all other staff was fantastic
