Great for brunch
Neighbourhood gem
Good for groups

We are a restaurant from Chef Albert DiMeglio known from Barano and Rubirosa, that simply wants to be your neighborhood kitchen. A place where everybody knows your name and serves you a thoughtful menu of exactly what you want, and let’s be honest, what you need. We love to do it in a buttoned up, polished way, with lets say… our hair down!

We want to be there for your first dates, family gatherings, business dinners, great parties from 20 to 100, or just that craft cocktail you needed at the end of your day.

Happy to be recognized as Newsday's Feed Me top 100 and Long Island Herald's choice awards finalist.

I will never return. For starters, if they know there a party and they are low on tables why let me reserve a table for 5? They stuffed us on a table only meant for 4. No room for my plate it was awful. The food was pretty bad. Service was also very bad. Totally overpriced.

Love Bluebird! We’ve been a few times and it’s always a good experience. The only reason I gave four stars is because the main dish I had didn’t live up to the standards I’m used to. I had grilled chicken Milanese and it tasted burnt or like there was baste used to make it taste charred. The salad was lovely and everything else we had was great. We had the flatbread, brussels sprouts, and pig in a blanket for appetizers. And we had the flourless chocolate cake, and Zeppoli’s for dessert. All great! Mocktails and cocktails were delicious. And the staff is top notch!
