    We enjoyed an outstanding dining experience at The Mockingbird. Our server provided much helpful information about the establishment and menu. The menu was eclectic and interesting. The shortribs with fried rice and brussel sprouts were delicious. My companions enjoyed the schnitzel and flank steak entrees. An exceptional dining experience!

    Extraordinary in the very best way. Each course a single (or maybe two) bite of wonder. The only bobble we had was a misstep re a dairy request which was quickly offered a redo. Perfect service, nice wine list, intimate setting where conversation is possible. A unique experience that we can’t wait to try again.
