    We made reservations well ahead of our 7 PM time and arrived a few minutes early so not to miss our reservation time. The person at the desk (we think he was the bus boy) said our table would not be ready for 20 minutes and that we could sit a high table next to the door, or at the bar instead. The table next to the door would be very noisy, drafty and with a lot of customers coming and going in and out. Since we were celebrating our 53rd anniversary this was unacceptable (we did note that it was a special occasion in our reservation). We sat at the bar to wait for our table. My grapefruit martini tasted stale, my husband's was fine. My husband had to tell the 3 people at the seating desk that a table had opened up. Then they cleared the table. In our first course of 1 dozen oysters, the mignonette was very watered down and did nothing for the oysters. Our Caesar salad was ok but did not have enough/any parmesan cheese and was served warm. Our rack of lamb was cooked perfectly, coo-dos for that. And we did enjoy great wines, white with the oysters and a great red with dinner. Our waitress Michelle was very nice and did bring us a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary. We have been coming to 3 Birds for many years, always having great drinks and food, and considered 3 Birds our favorite restaurant. This year, we feel there was a noticeable change in the bar service and the food. We were disappointed over all with the changes and will consider a different restaurant next year for our annual celebration to visit Corning. Doug and Carolyn Carlton

    The seafood was slightly undercooked across the board. Pricey for the serving size. The waitress was amazing though and they paid special attention to my husband's birthday.

    Atmosphere was pleasant. Service was fine, acknowledged birthday celebration and offered complimentary dessert which was appreciated. Busperson did a good job also. Meat and Fish were prepared well but sauces were heavy and not complimentary. Suggest ordering SOD.Rosemary on the pork was overwhelming and distracted from the taste of the meal.

    Good food at a reasonable price with attentive service in a relaxed atmosphere (what more can you ask for)! One of our party needed to eat gluten-free and there were plenty of options and there were no adverse effects for that person! Also, this was a birthday dinner for one guest and we requested it be kept low key and the staff responded accordingly and the birthday guest got a free dessert 😉

FAQs

Yes, families do dine here: reviewers describe bringing children (one mentions their son ordering a NY strip), and parties with kids have been seated in back/private rooms for comfort.

Three Birds often fills up on busy dinner nights, so many guests recommend a reservation; the prime rib service on Wednesdays and Saturdays is noted as especially popular. Some reviewers also report less-crowded evenings (for example, a late Saturday night and certain Thursday nights were described as pretty empty).

Yes, Three Birds is a popular choice for date nights and special occasions, with guests praising the romantic low lighting, Valentine’s/anniversary visits, and a strong wine and cocktail list.

If you’re after prime rib, plan a visit on Wednesday or Saturday, guests specifically praise the prime rib served those nights and say it’s very popular, so reservations are wise.

Guests often describe generous portions, salads are noted as "normally huge, " and several diners report entrees (including prime rib) as large enough to share or take home.

Three Birds feels like an elegant, romantic Market Street destination, a handsome bar leads into a dimly lit dining room with high ceilings and a big front window, and the separate Axe Lounge upstairs adds a playful, distinct element.

Smart casual is the guide, polished but not formal; many guests treat Three Birds as a spot for anniversaries and special occasions and often dress up a touch.
