Reviews for Birdhouse in Erie, CO
I wrestled with this rating, as the food and atmosphere were both very good. The mushroom and cactus tacos are very unique and... flavorful. Fairly small portions, but really good. The removal of a star is for the service, which I don’t think demonstratesthe whole restaurant. We tried to order the regular plain churros for dessert, but upon doing so our server literally told us“no you don’t want that” and put in an order instead for churros filled with cream and chocolate. We did not ask forthis. She didn’t make any mention that this would add over 3 extra dollars to the bill, and again forced this upon us. Whenthis happened I assumed maybe they’d add 1.00 or something so we ate it, and the food was in front of us before we could evenask, but then saw an extra 3.50 to the bill for something we didn’t want. Hey, in the end the churros were very good, and weenjoyed them so didn’t ask for a refund. But didn’t appreciate the surprise upcharge that clearly should’ve been asked andnot just done. Not smart business, felt very sneaky. EDIT: manager reached out and rectified the situation without issue. Ithink this situation was an anomaly, and I’d be happy to go back after my interaction with the management. Read more
Fantastic tiki drinks and delicious ramen, but I've never been super impressed by the tacos, especially given their prices. The... ambiance is amazing with a combination of bar seating, indoor seating, and second story open seating (which I recommend in alldecent weather). Great addition to downtown Erie. Read more
Excellent food and cocktails. So nice to experience another quality restaurant in little Erie (well it was little when we lived... there). We had the egg rolls and tuna to start and were really pleased. Then we went with an assortment of tacos and they wereall excellent. Only thing I'd change is that the corn tortillas weren't skilleted prior to serving (adds some body). Read more
Cute place. They currently have time limits on reservations, 1.5 hours. The queso was a little lack luster. The key lime... cheesecake had a beautiful presentation but a little too sweet for my taste. But the ramen and fried chicken was right onpoint. Read more
First time here, delicious drinks and appetizers. Sparse options for vegetarians or vegans but what they do have is top notch.... Mushroom based tacos are smoky and substantial, crispy tofu in the kimchi ramen is satisfying and enough for two meals. We willbe back. Maybe could use an update to the kids menu, and the menu itself has no photos or descriptions of the ingredients in thedishes. No markers for veg. or V. options, but lots of meat options. Read more
I went here yesterday with one of my friends for the first time. The service was top notch and I ordered some tacos and kimchi... ramen. The tacos were okay-flavor wise but the ramen was so good and very flavorful! We will definitely be back again! Read more
I ordered the barbacoa taco, nashville hot chicken taco, shishito peppers, and the Go Away Bird cocktail. All were quite good. I... enjoyed the Nashville Hot Chicken taco the most. The peppers were an excellent item to share with the family. The cocktail wasthe highlight of my order! Read more
This was a really fun meal packed full of flavor. I really appreciate the unique combos and freshness of ingredients that come... across on the plate. When you walk by the kitchen you can see the garnish plants growing which are actually quite tasty on theplate as well. The gluten free ramen noodles are always going to decrease the enjoyment of a good bowl but the option is nicefor someone who has to or is choosing to be gluten free. I’m curious to try many more of their cocktails especially andexplore more of the menu on my next visit. Read more
