A lofty, stylish room and downtown locale attract no shortage of business lunches, but this songbird is also a pitch-perfect fit for relaxed meals among friends. The name references a fable that gives us the proverb “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,” and an approachable menu of rustic fare aims to make the most of the season with a bounty of shareable plates. A wood-fired oven leaves its mark on beautifully blistered Roman-style pizzas, as well as imparting a trace of smoke to impeccably sourced local produce, as in roasted carrots with spiced honey, or cauliflower with sunflower seeds and caper raisin vinaigrette. Desserts like a lime bar topped with chewy coconut and accompanied by mango sorbet skillfully reimagine childhood indulgences.
