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.

Overpriced. The Caesar salad had far too much cheese and dressing. None of the leaves were cut - they were huge whole leaves. Most entrees are a la carte. We’re won’t be back.

Wonderful dinner! Food is absolutely amazing and the staff is friendly and attentive. Holiday decorations are beautiful and we will be going back again and again. This place should have a month long wait list considering the competition now days. Love Mockingbird!

One of our favorite local spots. Always welcomed warmly, food is consistently delicious, drinks are perfect. The ambiance this time of year can’t be beat-but it is a bit chilly out on the patio. Dress warmly-it’s worth it!
