I had the pleasure of visiting this establishment twice in one day! What an experience to see the atmosphere on a sunny afternoon with the patio walls open so the outdoor dinning space blends beautifully with the flow of the indoor space. Also during the dinner hours when the sun has set. The vibes were consistent on both visits.
I only learned of the restaurant the day before after learning about "The Fix" and then realized it was inside of Joe Bird. Our initial visit was focused on trying one of The Fixes creations, that was interesting (see my review!). Our second visit is when we decided to stay close to harbour front because of the down pour of rain.
Upon arrival we were greeted by one of the hostesses and seated, the restaurant kwasn't packed but bustling were were seated on the window with wood benches and pillows. I love the look but sucks if you want to sit back and digest your comforting meal.
I loved our English server he was very accommodating and despite his section being busy he was still attentive to us and our needs.
The food:
We ordered fried chicken 2 piece which came with a side and sauce. Side chosen was the mini slaw and sauce was the mango chutney. I was expecting the chicken to be a leg and thigh but it was a drumstick and part of the breast (I was tempted to but street meat afterwards from not being full). Unfortunately my pieces of chicken were not fully cooked but the server was apologetic and accommodating. The second dish ordered was the bird chicken and waffle. Loved the waffle with a touch of coffee. We substituted the second piece of chicken to try the BBQ. Glad we tried it, interesting taste. We also tried the spicy fries which was nice and crunchy.
My biggest plus of the night was the cost of our meal. My advice, if you have not been just try it once!
