The bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word. And Social Bird is the papa-ooma-mow-mow. One of three restaurants that are owned and operated by Esin and Curtis deCarion in the East Bay, Social Bird has to be my favorite. What I like about all three is that each location has amazing Happy Hours Sunday through Thursday that includes $1.50 oysters! That said, I've been to all three, but again, the b-b-b-bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word. You see Esin in Danville feels like an old school restaurant that reminds me of Nilla wafers because it feels like a place grandma would like.   Revel Kitchen & Bar is a bit more modern and reminds me of a sweet morsel Toll House chocolate chip cookie because it's a place your parents would like.    Meanwhile, Social Bird feels like a deconstructed deep-fried strawberry shortcake topped with a citrus foam and 24-karat gold flakes. It's modern, clean, and tasty AF. I've had business lunches and happy hours at Social Bird. All their food is contemporary American. My favorite dish has to be the prime beef hanger steak bowl. Grilled soy-tahini rubbed hanger steak topped with chimichurri and served with lettuce, shiitake mushrooms with a vinaigrette sauce is my go-to lunch dish. The buttermilk chicken sliders are also fantastic. Is that why they are called Social Bird? Great drink selection as well. Craft beer and crafty cocktails. Social Bird is craftsmanship at another level. No flippin' the bird here.

My 3rd time here and I really enjoy it. Walked The Res with friends and decided to pop in for lunch. We were initially seated at the community bar. Not happy with being right by the front door. But luckily a table for four opened up in the back, a section I never knew existed. I enjoy sitting in the front because I'm a people watcher. Sitting in the back, the view is restricted and kind of felt like a Denny's. But the great company and food made me forget about the lack of classy ambiance that the front presents. Don't ask me what I had because I always forget. lol. Everything looks, smells and tastes great. Upon my next visit I will be sure to act like I'm not photographing my meal. That's so '22. lol Definitely go and enjoy. There's a lot in back for metered parking (no EV charging though) and a Philz Coffee right next door. Just the best!!!

Lovely place! I had the steak rustic bowl and it was fabulous! I was in keto heaven! The steak was cooker a perfect med rare. Lovely glass of rosé with it. Our server was wonderful. Street parking on a Sunday was pretty easy and free. Will definitely be coming back here again!

Social Bird is an absolute gem and my new go-to for a perfect date night! From the moment you walk in, the chic yet cozy atmosphere sets the stage for an unforgettable evening. The warm lighting, modern decor, and friendly staff make you feel welcome and relaxed right away. I was thrilled to see their impressive selection of gluten-free options. Every dish we tried was an absolute delight, with fresh, high-quality ingredients and flavors that knocked it out of the park. Whether you're gluten-free by necessity or choice, you'll feel completely catered to here without sacrificing any flavor. Their craft cocktail menu is another standout - creative, refreshing, and just what you need to complement the fantastic food. And don't even get me started on the desserts - you have to save room for those! Social Bird strikes the perfect balance between casual and classy, making it ideal for first dates, anniversaries, or just a fun night out with someone special. If you're in Lafayette or even just passing through, do yourself a favor and check it out - you won't regret it!

Our service was great however the food wasn't anything to talk about. Ambiance was very lively and loud, open concept. #conceptual #openmyconcept #love Food was ok but pricy pricy. I don't think I will personally be going back but I appreciate the opportunity thank you to the birds for being so social able .

Deeelish! Super hot fresh cut fries burgundy dipping jus.. is really nice and savory. Nice cut of short rib and the baguette bread is delicious!

Food has always been good. I like going during the day before the afternoon rush. The service is good and the ambiance is lively. I usually order the Di Stefano Burrata as a starter and Brandt Beef Prime Hanger Steak Frites my main with a Hazy to go along with it.

Came here for happy hour Sunday 3-5pm. No line at this time around 4pm and plenty of tables open. We got the pork tostada, popcorn chicken, dozen oysters, squash and wagyu slider. All were very delicious and would order the pork tostada, oysters and wagyu sliders again for the HH price. Would come again to also try the HH mules and cocktails!

It's a real good American restaurant with good variety of everything good quality, value and services. Large seating inside including bar seats. Full bar service with verity of wines, beers and cocktails. Limited outdoor seating /patio. Great atmosphere for couples date night, small groups, gathering and meetups. Delicious fresh foods. Waiters are listening and responsive with honest suggestions. Paid parking lot in the back plus paid street parking available. It's a comforting semi-fine place so either make a reservation or expect some worthwhile wait time.

This restaurant is always phenomenal so we decided it was the perfect place to have lunch before we said goodbyes to our daughter headed off to another year in college! Loved the outdoor patio - our last day to enjoy the glorious weather before returning to Texas! We began with a Fieldwork IPA which was phenomenal and tried a few of their smaller dishes - the cheese board, the beets ( amazing and my favorite of the meal), Burrata and the blackened cod tostadas. Had great service, a lovely relaxed lunch and a great way to end our trip! Always love coming back to Social Bird!
