This was my first time visiting this place, and I enjoyed it very much! The aesthetics inside are lovely. I appreciate how they cover the patio, which fits perfectly with the winter theme.

Been coming here for years with my husband. Their food and cocktails are always amazing! Been seeing Tom the past couple times we’ve dined, and I just want to acknowledge how hard working he is and always so personable and attentive to customers. We’ll definitely be back!

We came for a holiday dinner with our adult kids and had a great time! Drinks were top notch! Appetizers yummy. Pizzas and gnocchi fantastic. The owner has decorated the whole place just beautifully for Christmas and it was the perfect place to share an evening together. Thank you Mickingbird! Merry Christmas!!

Everything was fantastic. The ambiance of winter decor was beautiful. We both got pizzas and the spinach artichoke dip. Delicious! We can’t wait to go back and try more things from the menu.
