"This sweet Chestnut neighborhood bistro provides excellent food at a mid-range price point, plus a fun and cozy patio. Check out the fantastic tartare and pasta from James Beard Award finalist Tracy Malechek-Ezekiel and the well-curated wine list from her husband, Arjav Ezekiel. Note that Birdie’s doesn’t take reservations, so while it’s great for a last-minute date, there will likely be a line or wait. There is indoor and outdoor dining." - Erin Russell
