"Shy Bird is conveniently located near a T stop and has a nice atmosphere. We arrived early for our reservation and had to wait awkwardly off to the side of the host stand, which put us in the way of other incoming guests. Once we were seated, our server quickly brought water and asked if we were ready to order drinks. After a short wait, we ordered a pretzel starter to share, a smash burger for me, and a chicken sandwich for my boyfriend. Unfortunately, we had to wait a long time for our food and the starter arrived at the same time as our main courses, which was disappointing. The food itself was nothing special - my burger was greasy and had a diner-style feel to it, while my boyfriend's chicken sandwich was described as sad. We wanted to ask for extra napkins but our server never returned to our table. When it came time to pay, the total for one starter and two handhelds was $50 plus tip, which we felt was not worth it. Additionally, the pretzels we ordered were more expensive at Shy Bird compared to buying them at Whole Foods. Overall, we were not impressed with our experience at Shy Bird."
