Reviews for Social Bird Kitchen and Bar in Lafayette, CA
Cute place and great food...but... The service was super slow. I had intended to spend an hour there and we were definitely... there for over two. Our first dish was the oysters and they were great, but it took them over 30 minutes to serve them. It alsotook forever (probably 20-30 minutes) to get a box and the check. - 1 star As for the other food: The fish fry Monday hadslightly soggy coating, but the fish itself was super flaky and a great texture. The truffle fries were also great! They hadawesome flavor and were the consistency of well done fries at InNOut. 3 stars The outside patio was nice, but there weren'tenough umbrellas and it got really hot in the sun. We had to move the table just so it was semi comfortable. - 1 star Read more
Excellent dining experience. Beautiful restaurant. Exceptional service. Fun menu. Delicious food. Tantalizing desserts. Try the... wings, ask for the specials of the day and try multiple desserts! And, the Oysters were fresh, YES! Read more

My husband and I went here for the first time this past weekend. We were actually going to Batch & Brine but it was closed.... Maybe because it was Easter Sunday. Anyway, we spotted this place across the street and decided to give it a try. We got seatsat the bar and were greeted right away by the bartender and given menus and ordered drinks. We ordered the Korean style chickenwings, arugula salad and the burger with fries, all to share. The bartender asked if we would like the wings and salad first andthen the burger. I really appreciated that attention to detail. We were able to take our time to enjoy the absolutely deliciouswings and salad. There was a nice period of time before the burger came. My only criticism is that the fries were dreadful. Theywere blonde at best and totally saturated with the oil. If I had to guess, I say that their fryer wasn’t hot enough. I reallyhope that someone from the restaurant reads this and makes an adjustment. Good fries are such a treat. We will definitely goback though. Read more
This is a relatively new spot in Lafayette and it sure looks nice and new. The staff are friendly and sincere even though they... might not be trained extensively. We had the Korean wings which had great crisp and sauce, the Wagu burger which had amazingbeef patty and cook to perfect medium as requested the bun did not look impressive but was actually quiet well for the burgerfor fries we got the truffle fries which is significantly better than regular but still was not what I would consider top tierand finally wild mushroom with prawn (not exact name) which was below expectation.

2nd Visit: Once again great. A must try is the chicken sliders. The biscuits the sliders are served on are amazing. Will be... coming here often for more. One thing I missed last time is the option to ask about "Today's Pasta" due to it's placement onthe menu. Very happy we noticed it this time. Our server David was extremely nice and helpful! 1st Visit: Definitely worthvisiting. I had known about this restaurant for a long time but assumed it was going to be unreasonably priced andportioned. The pricing was definitely fair to the quality and the portions, along with many different options on the menu tochose from. I went after many suggestions from friends and it was great. Most of all the staff was extremely kind andconsiderate with prompt food delivery even during busy lunch time on a Saturday. Will be going back for drinks and to try morefrom the menu for pictures ???? Read more
Update: oysters are $1.50 now. Still a deal. Fried chicken was a bit disappointing and sad looking. Tasted ok though. Awesome... happy hour in a great space with two large tvs. $1 oysters are always a win, bar area is fun and lively. Lots of beer optionsand different cocktails. The cheese board was delicious. Will definitely come again! Read more
