My daughter and I went to celebrate Mother’s Day, the Saturday before and so glad we picked Social Birdie. Service - the service was exceptional from the minute we walked in. While we selected on this app to sit indoors, we were offered the opportunity to sit outside because it was such a beautiful night. But also proactively were informed it was busier outside just as a heads up but they would be happy to accommodate the change. The server made excellent recommendations as she was very knowledgeable about the menu. We chose the Ahi Tuna appetizer, I had the Sea Bass and my daughter had the Braised Short Ribs. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. There was live music which made it special and the ambiance overall was calm yet upbeat. Loved that we weee in the golf course so very scenic as well.
