Good sometimes; mediocre others

by zeneat

I've eaten here several times and have had hit-or-miss experiences. Some of the food is outstanding, and some is just so-so. The server we had last time was nice enough, bohemian and funky, but she spoke to us in a sing-songy voice like we were babies. Then she would turn and talk to a coworker in a normal voice. It was odd. We were seated last time at a deuce that was next to a set of shelves adjacent to the door to the upstairs where there was a special tasting going on and we were constantly brushed against by servers rushing about as well as customers coming and going. We moved our table so we would feel more comfortable, but it was still annoying. Neither of us remembers what entrees we had because they were that unmemorable, but we both remember the hummus being delicious. Unfortunately we both had unfortunate intestinal experiences the next day. I've eaten there before and been impressed by the pizza, and I'll give them another chance but I can make organic and healthy food at home that rivals what I've eaten there.

Best organic food restaurant in Kansas City.

by wyzewoman

Best place in Kansas City to eat really good organic food. The menu has very good vegetarian choices as well as meat entrees. I was really pleased when the Bluebird Cafe began to include meat in their menu as I am not a vegan. However, as one who eats organic foods, I was delighted to see a menu that embraces the diversity of clientele. There is something here for everyone: hamburgers to tofu, tea to wine. It is not enough to be organic, but it must be tasty too, which the chefs have achieved with success.

I love the ambiance of the place. Bare brick walls, wood floors , tablecloths, and the displays of local artwork lend much to the character that make up Bluebird Cafe. Oh, and I almost forgot...the desserts are to die for! I so enjoy my dining experience that I will continue to patronize this unique and delightful restaurant. Their menu is available online. Happy eating!

• Pros: Not many organic restaurants available, and this one is the best!
• Cons: Parking can be difficult at times.

Good lunch

by meanadam

No longer purely vegetarian, Bluebird now serves some meat, good curry, and daily specials usually include a pizza and pasta. Just outside downtown, good place to get away for lunch. Now open for dinner on the weekends, and happy hour on friday.
