• engagement party

  We have been coming to Birds of a Feather for unbeatably delicious Sichuan food for years, and recently had our engagement party in the main room. We can't praise the event team, kitchen, and bar staff enough! The food was exceptional as always, and the service was wonderfully attentive and gracious. Plenty of options for vegetarian friends as well. Will continue to come back to Birds any time we want a perfect meal.

• wedding reception, party of 24

  We had an informal reception here after our wedding and it was absolutely incredible! The staff was great, the food was fantastic and our group of 24 sat around a massive center table which couldn’t have been more perfect. So grateful, thank you!

• group dinner, party of 9

  The restaurant boasts a lovely ambience, managing to feel intimate despite our large group of nine. The menu features Sichuan cuisine, known for its bold flavors, but the intensity of the spice in every dish was overwhelming. In particular, the lamb was so excessively spicy that no one in our group could enjoy it. The fried rice, while acceptable, was underwhelming given the restaurant’s reputation and price point. Unfortunately, the service did not meet expectations either. Our waiter was inattentive and unhelpful, which made the experience even more disappointing. While a 20% auto-gratuity for large parties is understandable, it felt frustrating given the subpar service we received.

• baby shower catering

  I recently hosted a baby shower with catering from Birds of a Feather, and it turned out amazing. I loved their online portal for placing the order—it’s such an easy tool that lets you tailor your order to your party size and the amount and variety of food you need. Once we placed our order, the Birds of a Feather team confirmed it, and on the day of our event, the delivery arrived early to set everything up on time. It was great to see how professional they were in both dropping off and setting up the food for us. I’m really glad there’s a local place like Birds of a Feather to rely on for excellent food and service. I highly recommend them for your next catering needs!

• group dinner, party of 10

  I’m always a little weary of these expensive Chinese food places but Birds of a Feather lives up to the hype! the service was excellent. The staff took great care of our party of 10 and made sure we ordered the perfect amount for everyone. The quality was great and everything tasted really authentic. Def on the pricier end but it’s about expected for the neighborhood
