Salmon and veggies. The veggies were good but the salmon was way overcooked--dry and tough, which hurt the flavor.
Oyster Mushrooms- vegan
Espresso martini
Green Curry
Beet cake. They forgot the basil sauce until I asked. But, I really think this needed a bit of flavor/tang more than just the whipped cream.
Campo Lindo Farm Deviled Eggs- could've used some oomph. Oil maybe? The classic paprika sprinkle on top?

Deviled Eggs. Pretty tasty (the egg whites were possibly a bit firm/overcooked but not too badly)

Blue Bird Bistro is a delightful farm-to-table restaurant with a lovely ambiance and tasty food. The restaurant is beautiful -- cozy, low-lit, rustic, and charming. Especially look down at the beautiful tile flooring. This is a great place for a romantic evening date, but it's also a fun and bright breakfast spot for a weekend. Definitely don't need a breakfast reservation, I was the only diner for a while around 9:15 am. The dinner menu is a little fancy with some expensive options, but breakfast and lunch are more accessible. The lemony hollandaise on the generous half order of salmon Benedict was delicious, and the French toast was a perfect sweet treat for the end of the meal. The employees were all attentive and helpful and kind! Parking in Westside can be a challenge, but enjoy your walk through the beautiful neighborhood if you have to park a block away.

I've been a customer and fan for years!! Everytime I go back I have a wonderful experience. This time, I had the delicious deviled eggs, bison brisket, and famous vegan orange cake. The eggs are decadent and the filling is fluffy with a bold taste. The biggest problem is you don't get enough! The seasonal bison brisket is a new favorite. So juicy, so tender, so flavorful! The sauce is something else. Perfect blend of spiced and a hint of sweet. The orange cake was new to me but not to BBB. Sweet flavors and a great texture. The chocolate sauce on top makes it so good! The service is always top notch and the place is so cute. Great for any meal, date night, or a gathering with a friend! You won't regret it!

Stopped in for lunch for the first time and was impressed. Good service and ambiance. I ordered the chicken sandwich and roasted potatoes and everything was delicious. Will definitely be back to try more.

The appetizers were delicious (we got like six different kinds) and they poured strong drinks. I had a blackened tofu, but I'd get something else next time. They had a good variety of vegan, vegetarian, and meat dishes so no one gets left behind.

This is a lovely Kansas City restaurant! The service is always welcoming and friendly. There's seating in the front half of the restaurant and in the back room of the restaurant. I recommend making reservations and visiting with a smaller group (2-4) since there is limited seating. On my recent visit, we ordered the hummus platter, catfish bites, and espresso martinis. Like I said, the restaurant is quaint and calm, it's a lovely ambiance.

We dined in here on a Saturday night for KC Restaurant Week. We've been here several times before and it's always been a good experience. They have a plethora of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free items at all times.We ordered a bottle of Malbec which paired nicely with our food. My wife had the $55 option with the sweet potato soup, stuff mushrooms, grass fed beef tenderloin and the vegan chocolate dream cake. I sampled all of her items (except meat--I'm a vegetarian) and I really enjoyed the sweet potato soup. I'm not a chocolate person, but I did find the cake quite tasty as well. My wife said the tenderloin was good, but it didn't knock her socks off. I chose the $40 option with the Blue Bird salad, which contains bleu cheese. I'm not a fan of the moldy cheeses, and I don't remember reading on the menu about it, although that could be my fault. For my second course, I had the vegan veggie loaf which has a base of black beans. It was tasty but came out a little cold. In retrospect, I probably should have chosen the nettle pasta, but I wanted to give the vegan loaf a try. For my third course, I had the chestnut cake, which, in my opinion, was the best part of my meal. I'm not a huge sweets person, but I devoured it! Our service was decent and Blue Bird always has a nice ambience to it. They have a nice wine list and a good drink menu as well. It's a great place for a date night or to take friends who have dietary restrictions.

This is a relaxing restaurant in a hip area. The food is consistently delicious. High quality food is served here. We went on Monday afternoon. The restaurant was slow so service was excellent. We had breakfast. The sausage was very good. The home fries could use a little more flavor. If you are hungry for great food in a soothing environment, this is a place to go. I have been many times. I will continue to come back.

I stopped in about 3pm, so a bit early (but the benefit of getting lunch prices!).It's a seasonal, local market restaurant and I had high hopes.Unfortunately, while the server was friendly enough--the food was kinda meh. The eggs and salad were fairly decent, the salmon was way overcooked (so it was rather tough and dry and it wasn't as flavorful as it should have been) although the veggies were pretty good. The beet cake was interesting but they forgot the basil sauce until I asked--plus, it really needed some other flavors to balance with the rather bland cake (perhaps, rather than a dollop of cream, some vanilla bean ice cream and a bit of tang to the sauce).

I ordered the blackened chicken it was a nothing special I wouldn't recommend it but the salmon on the other hand was delicious the fish was cooked perfectly and there bread that came with the dish was amazing. The service was great I asked our waitress what she thought of a certain item on the dessert menu and she gave me her honest opinion, which I appreciated very much. The restaurant had a very nice vibe and I would come back.

We always enjoy eating here. The dishes have great flavor. Tonight my friend had the Catfish. Yum! I had the Trout which was extremely good. The Vegan Orange Cake is one or our favorite desserts. If you have not tried The Blue Bird Bistro do it!
