Greetings to you & blue skies & spring!
🌚 🌝 🌷 🌸

With a new amphitheater & patio weather on the way, here's a few hacks to make the most of our time together this spring & summer:

Reservations: *Dinner only*. Recommended in general, but especially weekends. Brunch remains first-come, walk-in only. This is our only best way of keeping things moving, and seating *everyone* as efficiently as possible.

Large parties (during dinner hours):
6+: call 616-419-4168 for inquiries.
8+: required $10/pp deposit, applicable in full the night of your party. Call or email.
12+: email [email protected] for large groups (we're tiny!), up to and including private parties & buyouts.

Online resos: powered by Tock (*note: not all seating is viewable online. Give us a call for best info — also, we're human-powered, so we know things the app doesn't! 😉)

Patio resos: weather in Michigan just can't sit still, so all reservations made online will be for an *inside table*. This guarantees your spot, with the option of requesting a table outside, weather pending. Or, give us a call day-of and we'll make the update (FCFS)!

Drinks only: please plan to enjoy drinks at our bar. We have limited patio seating, and these seats will be reserved for *dining only* (another challenge of being tiny!). 🙏🏼

Any questions, we're always here to help.
This is shaping up to be our biggest year yet, and certainly the biggest downtown. We're thankful for everyone who has made us their spot, and continues to find our tiny, family-owned, independent bistro morning, noon, and night.

Cheers friends!!! 🧡 🥂 🍷

New Tuna Crudo

• Yellowfin Tuna
• house fish sauce ponzu
• orange supremes
• watermelon radish
• pickled serrano
• herb oil

Secret menu upgrade: ask for an ounce of Mezcal with lime and pour directly into bowl once the ponzu is all that’s left for a deep umami treat! 😋😎

🥪 SANDO SUNDAY 🙏🏼

(feat.)

LITTLE BIRD
BREAKFAST
SANDWICH

~ ham
~sunny egg
~american cheese
~house garlic mayo
~and of course that oh so wonderful + golden housemade milk bread bun

This sandwich is a staple on our menu. It’s seriously so simple and so good…plus it doubles as a loyal weekday bite AND a weekend brunch savior (& w/ crispy breakfast potatoes?- c’mon!)

Anyone out there sub ham for bacon, sausage, or tofu??? 👀

🤍🪟🖼️🪟🤍

As you know we have a very small dining room (although still very cozy + quaint). We love the table by our front window; it’s perfect for soaking in sunshine during the day, catching up on people-watching, and admiring the cityscape by night.

Another awesome addition: the new cutout window art designed by local illustrator & educator ! We love it and it makes this table even more special.

What’s your favorite spot to sit at Littlebird?!

🤌🏼 🤌🏼 🤌🏼

P A R I S I A N • G N O C C H I
• house made gnocchi
• house-cured & smoked pork belly
• kimchi-parmesan broth
• 🍄‍🟫
• crispy shallots

Parisian gnocchi (at its best) is light and pillowy in texture, and melts in your mouth. So proud of the team for nailing this! If you love kimchi, gochujang, and umami flavors, this dinner entrée is for you. (Spice levels are light +, but savoriness is off the charts! 📈 💥)
