A great menu with many healthy choices. We sat in the tented patio so noise level was low. Inside it is bustling and loud and a fun festive atmosphere. We had the mushroom pizza with a generous portion of mushrooms. It was great. The wood fired artichokes are a bit pricey but super yummy. I also enjoyed the wood fired broccoli so good. We will go back again and again as food is consistently good Janet Seigle

From the moment to walk in and Alex greet you to the wonderful server, Hannah -last night was just another Great evening at the Mockingbird. Chef Patrick nailed the food as always, and master mixologists, satisfied all our needs! The vibe is always awesome. Can’t wait to go back. The general manager, Tom always makes us feel like we’re family and is constantly checking to make sure that everything is point on.

We had such a wonderful evening at Mockingbird Bar and Garden with our mom group. From the moment we sat down at the back dining table, everyone made us feel right at home. Our server was an absolute sweetheart, attentive and kind to our whole group. Our drinks were never empty, and the food came out to the table promptly, which is no small feat with a big group. The white fish pâté was outstanding, easily the highlight of the meal. We'll be dreaming about it until our next visit. Great food, warm hospitality, and a relaxed atmosphere made this the perfect girls' night out. We can't wait to come back!
