Bird & the Bottle

Bird & the Bottle is located at 1055 4th Street in Santa Rosa. It's a southern/Asian fusion small plates place that is part of the Stark Reality Restaurants.

BBQ'd Octopus--$16. The octopus was well prepared but it was a small portion.

Fried Chicken Sliders with Mustard, Bean Sprout Slaw and BBQ Pickles--$9 for two sliders. The sliders are small but can be shared by 2 for each slider.

Buttermilk Fried Half Chicken--$23. This was good but not worth $23.

Warm Pretzel Bread--$7. Bagel Everything Chive Garlic Chive Labneh. This was my favorite of the night.

Charred Greens & Things--$11. 

Kale Salad, Pear, Gouda, Smoked Mushrooms, Pine Nuts, Lemon Vinaigrette--$11. This was my 2nd favorite. The smoked mushrooms were subtle but gave it an interesting taste.

Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Fennel, Toasted Garlic, Bacon Vinaigrette--$10. This can also be prepared Vegan but then it's not as good without the bacon.

Crispy Smoked Pork Belly Street Tacos--$24. This was served family style and made 4 servings.

Carrot Cake in a Jar & Double Chocolate Mayo Cake--each $10. Both were moist and delicious.

Warm Cinnamon Brown Sugar Pull Aparts--$10. These sounded good but were disappointing. Too dry despite the Pecan Brown Butter Syrup.

Apple Fritter Bread Pudding--$10. Chai Spiced Apple/Caramel Custard. This was meh. I would stick with the cakes.
