The lamb was absolutely perfect, and the white wine I had was a stand out. I ordered the arugula salad and that was a mistake. It was an overly huge amount of arugula in a bowl with some kind of dressing that only added bitterness. The gnocchi was good. Placing serving utensils in the shared bowls would be helpful, but the staff overall was attentive. For what it is, it is a bit pricey, because it lacks the consistency of a really great restaurant. But with time I am sure they will get there!

For my Dad's 80th birthday Tom went above and beyond. I reached out to Mockingbird prior and I've never been met with such hospitality and grace in terms of our service. Food was amazing, the servers were fantastic too. Exquisite menu at surprisingly reasonable prices for the service and quality. Drinks are unique and change often. We are blessing to have a restaurant of such high quality in the area.

Excellent experience all around. Decor is impeccable, food was delicious (especially roasted artichoke appetizer and fig & pig pizza), and service was very friendly. Will be back - looking forward to enjoying their outdoor space in warmer months.
