Social Bird Kitchen and Bar 3593 Mount Diablo Boulevard, Lafayette, CA 94549

"Everything was spectacular. My only comment regards portion size. TOO BIG! Who can eat all that and not throw up? Why not smaller portions, less price. Anyway, they are very accommodating and nice."

"This place was very good. They have a large wine menu. They had lots of dog friendly patio seating. I very much enjoyed my prawn and polenta bowl. I could definitely see myself eating here again if I was in the area."

"I wasn’t sure what to expect since it took a while to get seated and it was SO BUSY inside around 2 pm! A hostess guided me to a side outdoor patio where there was respite from the noise and an available two top. There’s a garden in the back but I didn’t check it out and a wraparound bar. The server was awesome and friendly and informed me that everything is fresh, farm-to-table and delicious. He was right! I got the vegan bowl and added chicken. We also subbed feta for vegan feta but several bites in, I tasted blue cheese!!!! He confirmed and swapped out a new plate, comped me a soup of the day (lentil), and it was overall a wonderful experience even considering the mistake of trespassing blue cheese."

"The restaurant is located in Lafayette Mercatile. A sort of upscale in the Lafayette Area. There’s plenty of parking however there is a fee. And we didn’t see public parking across the street until after we ate (nope I don’t know if there’s a fee also). The food: it’s good. I ordered the pasta special for the day. It came with rainbow carrots, brussle sprouts, and can add protein. So I added Salmon. It was delicious! Salmon was cooked medium rare which was perfect. Glad our server recommended it. Among the group, we also ordered avocado bruschetta, truffle fries, fried Mary’s chicken breast and biscuit sliders, and cod tostadas. For dessert I ordered the toffee apple crunch cake (I think) sorry this was new on the menu. Anyway, it was satisfying. I loved how the cake was warm not hot and then you get a taste of that toffee crunch. I’d say pair it coffee or latte fter your meal or…before. Service was excellent! Our server was on top of it. She gave us the specials of the day and got down to business. Food came fast. Only thing I had an issue with was it cost almost another meal to add protein if your meal didn’t come with one. It was pricey but I should have known since we were in an “upscale” area. Overall, the experience was great. Note if you are seated by the front door (the table with multiple seating) and there are only three or four in your group be prepared to sit with others. I don’t mind it, as long as people don’t stare at you."

"Oscar provided attentive service and catered to all our needs. The food was absolutely delectable. Highly recommend the Korean fried wings and lamb sliders (pictured). We had a mixed experience with the cocktails - one was well executed while the other came through a tad bitter- could have been my choice from the menu though. All-in-all, we’ll be returning and trying the other restaurants in their portfolio!"
