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.

We are always so pleased when we bring friends and family to Bluebird Kitchen. The menu choices are great and the appetizers are always changing. We had the shrimp and seaweed appetizer and it was delicious and different. We had leftovers to bring home and my niece will not have to cook for two days. Always a great atmosphere and the staff as usual were great. Our favorite is the Brick chicken which we get as takeout when we do not feel like cooking

Vibe is great, cocktails were great, burger and chicken sandwich were lacking flavor. Could use more of a variety outside of brunch food.
