Wonderful candlelit dinner. Very busy, so service was a bit slow. Most dishes are pretty tasty. I highly recommend the steak they have on the menu. It is one of the most flavorful I have ever tasted. The beef fat candle was okay, but my family fell in love with it. Great place to eat with a large party, and the staff was very sweet.
The food and atmosphere were great. Our server, Chris, was very attentive and did a very good job of explaining the menu options and making recommendations. He took the time to quickly provide samples of a couple of wines so we could choose. I would definitely recommend it, and it's worth the drive to Pepper Place.
Always have a great time at Ovenbird. The atmosphere and staff can't be topped. Our menu favs are roasted veggies, snapper throats and burrata.
Overall this place is awesome. Super accessible given that a pretty sizable lot is right in front of the main entrance. Casual but lively atmosphere and extremely friendly and helpful staff. They offered tips on how to eat the food without us having to ask! We ended up ordering the beef fat candle, scallops steak. All three dishes were *okay* overall, but pretty salty imho (hence 3 stars) on food. Def try the lime pie for dessert so good!!
Loved the food. Service was great and very friendly.
