We had a terrific server and the food we ordered was a special ( peri peri chicken) and we loved it. Lighter appetites so we both took some leftovers home. They treated my friend to a dessert because it was her birthday. It was her first time there and as we left, she said “I’ll be back.” That’s a true compliment.

Another wonderful meal at the Cup Café. I had the chicken breast stuffed with goat cheese, with butternut squash gnocchi. It was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had anywhere. Drinks and service were great too.

We have dined here several times and the food is always excellent. We took our son from out of town for some Mexican food. I ordered the 4-taquitos plates while my husband and son ordered the combination plates. Nicely presented, food came out hot with very little wait time. We were there around 5:15 pm. The restaurant is small with around 7 tables. There’s also outside patio dining areas with about the same number of tables. Restaurant gets busy later in the evening

Those smash burgers are delicious! And since my wife is gluten sensitive, it's hard to find a restaurant with a GF bun that won't fall apart and tastes good. Redbird has it. I had the Early Bird burger, she had the Classic. We were hungry, and the burgers hit the spot. Highly recommend!

excellent service by Eddie dining manager and Gladys our server while we listened to a folk rock duo in the elevated corner nook of dining area. When we mentioned celebrating our anniversary, Eddie gifted us glasses of Prosecco. Tequila shrimp papperadelli pasta delicious - nice and spicy, steak frites with chimichurri sauce, & truffle fries very good. Shared a crème brûlée for dessert my husband especially appreciated his fave, but hard to find draft beer, delicious mango cart
