Lovely brunch. The staff is so friendly. Highly recommend the grilled banana bread with maple-Orange butter. And the chicken benedict. Very accommodating for gluten free too. Skip the latte that has cardamom.

Had a fine dinner here which was good, but nothing special. Ultimately, it’s just solid rotisserie chicken and some good sauces. We enjoyed the spinach & artichoke dip and the tuna crispy rice bites, but aren’t necessarily rushing to go back. It wasn’t too expensive either, which was nice.

After a great WFH experience at Shy Bird Fenway, I was excited to visit their Southie location. The bar was set pretty high by Fenway so I was left mildly disappointed. Everyone at the Fenway location was super welcoming and friendly, and our server was attentive and went above and beyond. Compared to our experience at Southie, where the hostess seemed like she couldn't care less about being there. There was only one server when we came in around 11am on a Tuesday, and she was also making drinks so it took a while for us to be able to place an order. I got the Chicken Shawarma Pita, which was decent for a non-Mediterranean restaurant. It came with a huge side of fries, which were nice and crispy. After trying both their WFH breakfast and lunch menus, I'd probably only come back for breakfast. The space itself is large and has a lot of natural sunlight. It was thoughtful of them to close some of the shades when the sun got too bright though. There are also clean restrooms, fast wifi, and outlets spread out around for easy access.

Extraordinary food! The best Ranch Fried chicken, the fried chicken Ceasars wrap and the best ever Spicy Chipotle bowl! If you haven’t been here, it’s definitely a must stop! Jacob was a wonderful server!

Everything about this place has a great vibe. The servers are laid-back but attentive and kind, and the service was fast. I came on a weekday around 3, and it was packed. I was surprised, but it was also my first time, so I didn’t really know what to expect. We were greeted very quickly and took a comfortable seat at the bar. We already knew what we wanted: the Chicken Caesar Wrap. I would honestly give it an 8 out of 10. There’s no lack of flavor, but I feel like some things could be improved. It’s labeled as a Calabrian Chili Caesar wrap, but there was honestly no spice or noticeable flavor of the chili. The chicken was fantastic, and the presentation was great, but the salad seemed pre-prepared. The lettuce was a little soggy, and the Caesar dressing needed something to make it stand out more. The wrap was grilled perfectly, and don’t get me wrong—I ate the whole thing! These are just my thoughts, and I would still come back to try some other items on the menu.
