oddBird. in St. Catharines

Outstanding experience. Server was great. Def a hidden gem!

Amazing service and vibe from the moment we walked in. Sat at the bar and enjoyed some top notch flavors and the old fashioned was one of the best Ive had.. our server was super chill and made us feel welcome and at home. Glad we picked this place to eat for my birthday with my girl

The food is creative, fresh, and absolutely delicious, with every dish showcasing incredible attention to detail. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, making it a perfect spot for a night out. Service is top-notch, with friendly and knowledgeable staff who make the experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a standout dining experience!

We had an great meal at oddBird on our Trip to St Catherines last week. Food was terrific and service to match. Chalk board sharing menu was excellent

Just the best, every single time

My fav place, there is nothing on the menu that I dont like. The service is great and our fav time is when ita King Crab time. To many more success stories. The staff is amazing and we love coming here

Fave place. The food and staff are amazing happy to be support such a beautiful business.

Took my wife here for a rare date night, had Australian Wagyu Picanha....nuff said. This place is a diamond in the rough. If you havent experienced the class and quality your money deserves.....this is the place. Period.

Date night with the hubby. If youre looking for something less ordinary, this is the place to go. The food, the drinks, the service, the atmosphere are all top notch.

Myself husband and another couple went for dinner last night what a pleasant surprise from beginning to end .We got there just before 4 and got a great table the place is small so if your with a group they dont take reservations you need to be early .We started out our night with oysters that where so fresh amazing followed by an array off beautiful food steak tartare,octopus, foiegras bone marrow every bite off food as good or better than the last .Our server Michael was so informative and knowledgeable it was clear he loved his job and had great recommendations he really made our experience special .Thank you so much all the staff at Odd Bird

oddBird knocked it out of the park across the board. The vibe and atmosphere is of superb quality without being pretentious. The service was relaxed and amicable. Joined my good friend for a meal where we enjoyed oysters, beef tartare, cocktails/mocktails, fried chicken, an Oaklahoma Burger, and the golden-brownest potato wedges that have ever graced my presence. They have an effortless competency that serves banging dishes and leaves nothing to be desired. Go here now.

Great beer, great chicken, great service. Absolutely unreal. 10/10 must visit.

Food sucks. Expensive burgers with processed cheese. Just doesn t make any sense. Gangster rap playing on speakers( not appropriate from my point of view). Service was great though. Food : 1/5

This place is a 10/10 overall. Service is amazing. Food is amazing and delicious. You can t get food like this at any other regular restaurant so prepare for all your senses to be embraced in this food experience. Amazing cocktails. Shoutout to Michael who is a wonderful server everytime. A small, intimate space with incredible food experience. And always great wine selection as well. Highly highly recommend!

Best tartare I have ever had. Carpaccio - killer, so different so fantastic Bone marrow- coming back for more. Truffle gnocchi- the creamiest, most delicious sauce I ever had. The hipsters ... (servers)... were the hippest there ever was. Ridiculously friendly, attentive and chill. 20/10 would recommend...

Our server was so good. He gave us lots of attention, was patient and friendly. We ll be back with bells on. So good, highly recommended. Parking: Friday night game night so not much parking available. Used the parking garage s top floor.

The most creative restaurant in the region, Ive been going here for over 2 years and the food is consistently incredible. Love this place and would give it 10 stars if possible

Spending the night in St. Catherines and we were recommended this place by many people in the area. oddBird. did not disappoint! First off the staff were incredibly friendly and had great suggestions on wine and menu options. The restaurant itself is hip and intimate, we sat inside, but the patio looked super cute also. Last, but not least the food was incredible. We had a shrimp cocktail to start, then the best scallop Ive had in a long time. Followed by the lobster risotto which was incredible. Finally we had to try the fried chicken and I hope we come back so we have the chance to try the fried chicken sandwich because I bet theyre amazing! Worth the drive to eat here, or if youre in the area its a must :)

oddBird. has to be one of the best restaurants we have been to in a very long time. Every dish we ordered surpassed expectations. Chicken sandwiches were the best we have ever tried, ricotta gnocchi with truffle cream was amazing, the truffle fries and fried olives were also a 10/10. The braised veal with hollandaise melts in your mouth and for dessert, we did the Biscoff Crème Brûlée, the perfect end to the meal. However the food was only half of what made us love oddBird. so much. Mike, our server, has set the bar so high for the hospitality industry and provided quite literally the best service we have had at a restaurant. Thank you Mike for making our birthday celebration so special, you rock!

such a great little spot ! cant wait to go back and try some of the other options Food : 5/5

10/10 the best service ever <3 Cant wait to go back!!! Highly recommend<3 Food

I recently dined at Odd Bird in St. Catharines and had an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch, especially our waiter, Michael, who was attentive, friendly, and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the evening. The cocktails were a highlight of the night. Fun and inventive, even a classic like the Dirty Martini had a unique twist and was absolutely delicious. We started with the oysters, which were excellent, and the variety of accompanying sauces really enhanced the flavors. As for the main dishes, they exceeded all expectations. The flavors were bold, the presentation was flawless, and while the portions werent huge, it encouraged us to try a few different dishes, which I highly recommend. Every bite was a delight 10 out of 10 for both taste and presentation. Overall, Odd Bird is a gem. Whether youre in it for the creative cocktails or the exquisite food, you wont be disappointed. Highly recommended!

Epic. Great wine list, impeccable food (Nashville fried chicken!!), and awesome service courtesy of Michael, who even ran after my fiancée after she forgot her purse. Not to mention the awesome vibe. Perfect date night spot.

Go there hungry, leave amazed!

Always Amazing!

Worth the trip! This was our second time and the food and service was consistent in exceeding our expectations both times. Highly recommend and can t wait to visit again.

Excellent food for takeouts!

Wonderful food and cocktails in the small cozy Oddbird restaurant in St Catharines, recently awarded the 81st best restaurant in Canada. The prices are quite reasonable for such fabulous food.

My mom and I decided to come to oddbird for dinner since the both of us heard the place was amazing! The food was absolutely amazing and the portion size is great for what you re paying for - Our server, Michael, was absolutely amazing too, he made our experience even better and checked in on us when he had the chance to see how we were doing. The both of us are and were extremely happy.

Phenomenal food and great service! We had oysters, blood sausage, the chicken sandwich, and pork tenderloin and they were all fantastic! Portions are on the smaller side but quality was incredible and well worth it!

Quite potentially the best fried chicken sandwich Ive had in Ontario.

This place was unbelievably good. The truffle fries and fried chicken sandwich are delicious, amazing friendly service and a great atmosphere

A crazy, fantastic, and funny place. You can have a bone marrow luge. You can eat scrumptious fried chicken. It seemed that nothing on the menu was out of reach for the chef so you will not leave disappointed.

Greatest place in the region! Try everything

I havent seen a place like this outside of Montreal. Its a small venue that offers fine dining with a young, casual atmosphere. Rap music and oysters pair rather well together. Parking: The smal lot at the nearest main intersection is free after 6pm

Ranking 85 is really too low! ! ! The best thing to do here is chicken+beer The oyster is very small, the escargot tastes weird... the food is served very slowly. Try not to sit on the street seats, there will be people talking to you

There is not enough words to express my experience at this place!! I am literally lost for words . Just come in and let the waitress to suggest your meal and trust me youll walk out happy.

Highly recommended oysters. Ryan was fantastic. 10/10 recommend

Simply put, this place is one of the best restaurants Ive ever been to from start to finish. They somehow deliver a fine dining experience with an incredible menu and top notch service while remaining casual. The service was perfect - friendly, knowledgeable, and the food was coursed perfectly. The food itself was wonderful - you can see, feel, and taste the passion and attention to detail, especially if youre lucky enough to sit at the bar overlooking the kitchen where you can watch them make the food. I absolutely loved this place and wish it wasnt a 6 hour drive for me. Nevertheless, I will be back. Note that it is a pretty small, intimate space so be prepared to wait a little bit, especially if youre there during the dinner rush. I promise its worth the wait! Dietary restrictions: They were very accommodating and knowledgeable about allergens.

Definitely one of the best restaurants in St. Catharines and the Niagara Region. Amazing service, amazing cocktails, and amazing food!

Great chicken sandwich

A pretty good experience. The waiters at this restaurant are very friendly, but the food is not that delicious. We ordered some fried chicken sandwiches, but the chicken was very small. We also ordered fries, but they were too salty. The mussels were very juicy and the sauce was complex. There are a lot of people with tattoos who eat here, and if you dont have tattoos, you will feel a little strange.

Food was amazing and our server (michael) seemed to really enjoy his job and knew every detail of what he was selling to us. It was a great experience! Definitely will be back.

We had such a good dinner here! The server (dude with a beard) was SO nice, friendly, helpful, and super sweet with our toddler. Very few reviewers mention bringing kids here - theyre totally accommodating but note that they dont have high chairs or a kids menu. The best meal for a kid is the junior fried chicken sandwich. We sat on the side patio, which had wood picnic tables and is totally under cover. The place is really small but we had no trouble getting a table on a Tuesday evening around 5pm. The food was really good - we had oysters, escargot, and fried olives to start. The oysters (especially the Fanny Bay ones) and escargot were great and the olives were good but not amazing. You only get like 4 escargot, but thats pretty normal. For mains my husband had the surf and turf which was very good but a VERY small portion, so for the price I dont recommend it. The fried chicken is where its at though. I had the hot and sassy one (hot sauce and honey) and oh man I think it was the best chicken sandwich Ive ever had. Our kid (almost 3) had the junior one and it was phenomenal, he devoured it. The non alcoholic cocktails here are fantastic! They only have two options but both are wonderful and really complex. The fruit punch gin and tonic was the best mocktail Ive ever had! We had the crème brulée for dessert and it was very good as well. Expect $200-300 for 4 people. Vegetarian options: They really dont have a lot for vegetarians. Like one main (an avocado sandwich) and thats pretty much it. But their menu changes so check online before you go. Parking: Paid street parking, like pretty much everywhere downtown. Kid-friendliness: No high chairs or kids menu, but they have a junior chicken sandwich that any kid would like. Theyre super friendly and accommodating for kids.

Really enjoyed having their fried chicken sandwich - sitting right at the chefs bar was great because the food was being made right in front of us. The space was cozy and intimate & the service was really friendly and welcoming. Ill be coming back again for sure.

You need workers So contact my number my number (+923166972885) Food : 5/5 |

Had a wonderful meal out with my fiancee and friend to celebrate. We had Michael as our serveerand I have never felt so cared for as a customer. At this point, I would just eat anything that Michael recommended. All of the food was sublime, but highly recommend the pork rillette, scracetella, and artic char. Will be coming back very regularly to have that service and food again.

The standouts would be the blueberry and chocolate donuts. As well as the sweet n spicy chicken sandwich.

Bumpin little restaurant downtown with a great atmosphere, quality food & portion sizes and decent prices. Had a nice mocktail, tasty truffle fries and a crispy fried chicken sandwich, better than others I ve had. Our server was friendly as well

A great little, unassuming diner with an open kitchen and delicious food.

Cute and cozy vibe, very friendly service. The Caesar salad with fried pork belly was great, AMAZING fried chicken sandwiches, with perfect light crispy breading! I got the Honey Mustard one and WOW- just perfect! We also very much enjoyed the thin potato wedges surely will be returning any time we have a craving for a chicken sandwich, I assume their burgers would be great too!

My favourite restaurant in the Niagara Region. Magnificent short rib poutine and a chicken sandwich you need to try!

Let this be a sign to visit this restaurant! It s my favorite in the Niagara region for a reason. The food, staff, atmosphere, and drink menu are all top-notch. The wine selection and cocktails are excellent, and there are always new food items to try. You will not be disappointed!

Wife and I had an amazing experience. We ordered drinks, fried olives, oysters, Haggard burger, Surf & Turf, potatoes wedges and salted caramel creme brulee. The entire dinner and experience was fantastic and had wonderful conversation with the chef and employees. Highly recommend and we will be back when were back in the region.

Amazing. Drinks were the best...great cocktails

Awesome food.. small but nice atmosphere...we will be back

Went in for an early dinner April 10th with my family for a birthday. Our server was fantastic, food as well and my whiskey sour cocktail was probably the best I have ever tasted.

Long wait to be seated, food average, was very greasy, and not super flavourful. Atmosphere nice. Small intimate.

Simply fantastic and worth the wait... Just check in and go to one of the pubs for a warmup whilst you wait, you will not be disappointed! We wanted pretty much everything on the menu, we will be back!

Cute little place, wouldnt even know its there - but the food is of amazing quality; my wife loved the bone marrow!

This place is truly a gem. A unique menu that is executed with care and passion. Excellent service that is attentive, warm, knowledgeable. If you re looking for a traditional restaurant experience, prepare yourself for something a little different in the beat way possible. A tight space with great energy. If you sit at the bar you are so close to the open kitchen you can smell everything as it s prepared which is a very good thing, as it all smells spectacular.

Loved my experience here. My husband and I went last night for dinner. Everything was wonderful. We had a cosy corner bar/kitchen table watching the chefs. We started with the bone marrow (amazing), I followed with the Foie Gras & Pancake Double Stack - which I seriously can t wait to go back and have again. Service was incredible, the vibe made us feel like we were on vacation!

Too small, had the bucket of chicken... dry

The oddBird. Was an amazing experience. This is one of the few restaurants that felt authentic and true. The food was great! Its unique with menu items that changes from time to time. We had Venison Tenderloin, Ricotta Gnocchi, and Bone Marrow. The tenderloin was good, and did not have a hard game taste/smell, the Gnocchi was also good compared to many high-end italian restaurants, and the Bone Marrow was such a treat with the Luge! The place felt cozy. They didnt have much space and I can see them being full all the time so if you ever want to try them out, be there as early as possible!

Favourite place downtown.

Awesome food! Had their chicken burger, wow good!

Chicken & foodwas great would recommend to friends and family in the area

The food here is so amazing. Oh my god. Do not miss out. While a bit on the expensive side it is totally worth going for that one night out a month sort of experience. Great staff, delicious and interesting food, a great selection of local craft beer, glorious cocktails, totally worth the wait to get in!

Shared the tapas, they were bigger portions than expected.

Amazing food, amazing service and amazing atmosphere!

Delicious Food, and Great Vibes. Truly a good find. Went here for our anniversary, and it is the perfect balance of upscale, finer dining, with a cozy, friendly feel. The steak tartare was delicious and definitely worth the try if you ve never had it. Truffles fries had a massive portion, with massive flavour too. These were absolutely delicious. The chicken sandwiches are next level. Stacked high, and loaded with delicious sauces and cheeses. Overall I d give this place a solid 9.5/10, a must try if you re in the area. The only downside is how small it is, but in the same way it adds to the vibe of the whole place .

Delicious food. Very very good. The place was very small though, not comfortable for a busy night.

I had the pleasure of test tasting Oddbird. When they did a fabulous pop-up at Willibald this summer. (is this where I admit I went for all the days they were there because it was so damn good!?) Anyway! I had the original location on my list of to-dos since! And boy, let me tell you, it did not disappoint! A cozy atmosphere, fantastic service, intriguing open kitchen. Every single thing I have tried on the menu has been out of the park. Its an hour and a half drive for me to visit, but its definitely worth it! I dont mind spending my hard earned money on a fabulous meal. 1000/10

Friendly and attentive staff! Welcoming environment, patio is cute and quaint. You have to try the Nashville Burger!

High quality restaurant with fresh ingredients. As good as anything on Ossington or Dundas West in Toronto. Enjoyed the Beef Tartare, and Seared Quebec Foie Gras. Thanks for the delicious meal!

A disgrace of fine dining. I ordered Ontario Lamb Saddle, served with a cut that had mostly fat; only a third of a slice was actual meat. The portion was inadequately small too. The cook should learn how to slice meat for a roast. The ambiance of the upscale restaurant is ruined by gangsta rap playing non-stop in the background. Several reviews here mentioned a poor music selection at this place, but it doesnt seem like anyone cares about customer feedback. The ergonomics of this place make no sense, because the kitchen takes up 80% of the space, and there are only four tables crammed for customers. Also, there was a freezing draft from the open door, so if you sit at the bar, you should wear warm pants. This place deserves two stars for its clean bathroom and kitchen.

Scallops and mussels are great

This place was delicious

Best restaurant in St Catharines!

Really creative and well thought out, delicious menu. Excellent service from Brandon and Ryan- super knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic. Every dish was lights out. We shared the blackened octopus, Arancini, gnocchi, brisket poutine, fried chicken (unbelievable), truffle fries, and tartar. The cocktails are so well thought out and incredible. We tried several and loved it all. We re from out of town but will make a commitment to come back here!

Just had an early dinner with my friend here and it was such a nice experience. Dining is small and seating is limited but creates a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Staff were friendly and attentive. Limited options for non meat eaters but the food I did have was chef s kiss (fried avocado sandwich and potato wedges). I ll certainly be back as I m already craving the crispy potato wedges!

Great place run by great guys! Food is amazing!

Burgers were the best! Truffle fries were good but ask for less sauce or it on the side!

Just over all amazing

Easily our favourite place to eat. The food and cocktails are creative and delicious, everytime.

We came here for a birthday dinner and Oddbird did not disappoint. From the salty fried olives to the cloud-like gnocchi, the salmon tartare in the crunchy avocado and the groan-worthy foie gras double stack, we had a fab meal. Service was top notch. Easily one of the best meals I ve had in St. Catharines. I can t wait to come back!

Food great service outstanding great value

Our Server (Brandon) was awesome! His recommendation and his knowledge of the food was incredible. The meals were absolutely so so so good. Would easily recommend this restaurant to anyone/everyone.

Food was good ; service was excellent ; Portion size is questionable; my advice is prepared to to eat again after your dinner Food : 4/5

Have always wanted to go to oddbird since it opened and finally pulled the plug. Looking at the menu felt like it might be a tad pretentious, but it was not at all. Extremely inviting and the service staff was amazing! Very attentive and pleasant. Ordered alot off the menu to try a bit of everything and nothing disappointed. Amazing drink menu as well. My wife and I will be going back many more times. Do yourself a favour and go, the ambience service and food is worth way more than youll have to pay.

Oddbird is fantastic! The staff are great. Theyre pleasant, friendly, and give top-tier service. The drinks are our favourite. They also change it up every few weeks to keep things fresh and exciting. The food menu is great. We love the mussels, the oysters, the salmon tartare, the bone marrow, and the escargot. Lastly, their music playlist is bomb. Oddbird is one of our favourite places to go in St. Catharines for a night out. You will have a great experience!

Had a double burger and side piece of fried chicken. WOW. SOO GOOD. I couldnt finish it and was blown away! Will definitely be back. Authentic taste and clearly crafted with love. 100% satisfaction.

Amazing food with very creative pairings. Cocktails also excellent! Music is late 90 s rap which was a bit weird. But who cares the food was bussin! Food : 5/5

Rating: Who knew that St Catharines was filled with so many amazing gems!?!? Cocktails were and the food was on point! Favourites: Blackened octopus Deep fried avocado salmon Tatar with maple butter Also worth mentioning: deep fried olives and the pesto lobster casarecce Drinks: Nom de Guerre: Spanish Dry Vermouth, Earl Grey Syrup, Sparkling Wine, Thyme, Olive Brine, Acid Blend, Orange Bitters, Tonic Water Miami vice: Mezcal, Overproof Rum, Aperol, Falernum, Strawberry, Cinnamon, Pineapple, Lime, Coconut Cream Top We are considering coming back for dinner tomorrow because it was just that good.

Amazing burgers!

Super cool cosy spot. The reviews speak for themselves. Impeccable cuisine, cocktails, and service.

We ordered the oysters, truffle fries and the big steak(forget the menu name) Every thing was delicious was the best stake I ve tasted in my life Food : 5/5

Really great chicken burgers! Tator got poutine and Brussels!! 10/10 awesome! Will be back for sure

Do yourself a favour and visit this lovely restaurant in St. Catherines. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing. The cocktails are so good

Amazing food, amazing cocktails and a great atmosphere. Also love their happy hour oysters

Love their Nashville fried chicken sandwich always, however this time felt like the chicken patty had more batter than chicken in it.

Good beer. Food was kinda expensive.

Food was bangin. Playlist was fire. Service was tenderrr

Amazing food, lovely staff who are caring and entertaining and a bar well stocked with a mixologist who knows whats what. Highly recommended!!

Great service, interesting menu with locally sourced ingredients. Recommend visiting the mixologist tucked away in the back and try one of his own cocktails.

Sadly overpriced, low quality food - each dish should be renamed salt .

The food is so unique and always mind-blowingly good!

Everything was delicious, especially the honey mustard chicken sandwich. Wedges were a little too salty though. Service was excellent.

A staple in our list of eateries, OddBird is fantastic! A very cool vibe with fantastic service and unbelievable food. The menu is forever evolving and the cocktails are a highlight. Theres really nothing negative to say about this place. If you dont eat here then youll certainly be missing out! Parking: The parking is plentiful downtown and free after 6pm!

good

Everything was absolutely incredible! Portions are the perfect size for sharing so you can taste through the menu. Their new shrimp ravioli dish was out of this world, could eat it every day! tartare, mussels, oysters, foie gras, and octopus were what we all so good!

The food, the staff, the drinks, the ambiance, all of it, was absolutely phenomenal. The restaurant will definitely be one I will return to again and again.

Amazing! Came on a recommendation and have to say worth it! The staff were really friendly and fun hosts that helped with any questions about the food. The food itself was phenomenal! I had the cesar salad, truffle gnocchi, and white chocolate creme brulle for dessert. Every dish left me speechless! Ive never had food so amazing and tasty before. Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone!!

We love the food. Their handmade pizza is amazing and fired chicken wings are awesome. The price is reasonable. Stuff is busy but friendly. This place make you feel casual and relaxing. It s Good place for hanging out with friends!

Good dishes, beautiful presentation, good cocktails!

A culinary adventure is in store any time you visit Oddbird. I love the chalkboard menu and new additions they add as it makes for a different experience each time you go. My staple here is the fried chicken though, easily some of the best fried chicken in town. If you have a taste for exotic food their blackened octopus is also amazing. Definitely a top destination for dinner in St Catharines.

burgers , fried chicken sandwich, truffle tots were all awesome

Exceptional food and service. Hope to be back soon.

The food at this place is fantastic! My friend and I ordered the truffle fries, sweet & spicy fried chicken sandwich, bone marrow, iced Capp creme brulee, and the PB&J churros sticks. Not only was the food great, but the service was truly exceptional. Our server Ryan did an amazing job. It was pretty busy when we went, but he did an outstanding job at making sure we were completely satisfied with our entire order. Will definitely be coming back very soon!

Outstanding dining experience. My husband and I went to oddBird for the first time last night and all the food was delicious. We split a few items, beef tartare, ricotta gnocchi, and seared foie gras. Each item was brought out as its own separate course and they even divided the gnocchi into two bowls for us without being asked. Every dish we had was perfection. We will definitely be back!

Are you kidding me.... a diamond of dining....the duck was amazing....creme brulee ...so delicious.....the team members so friendly .... the two owners in the kitchen ...which is the sit down bar... so precise on the food...I saw him chuck the oysters....and he smelled each one ...to make sure it was fresh.....and with that they offer unique hot sauces.... Great atmosphere....thank you for being here in Niagara !

Excellent place. Food and service was awesome!! Cute and cozy place

First time there. Good food, unfortunately I got the wrong sandwich but still delicious. Thought I might have been compt. But not

The food is great but what stands out above all is the hospitality oddBird completely lacks the pretentiousness that typically accompanies restaurants with food of this quality. We stayed for hours and never felt pressured to leave, and were treated to a special birthday gift before we left. Such a treat to find such a highly quality restaurant in St. Catharines. Can t wait to return & see the summer menu and sit on the patio!

Great food and atmosphere

You gotta dine here.

Best fried chicken, fantastic cocktails and an all around cool vibe. Google just asked me if my opinion has changed, yes they keep getting better.

Very good and I almost never say that.

Amazing experience! The unusual flavour combinations and fantastic presentation are well worth the trip! Will be going back for sure!

Neat place, a little cramped but the friendly staff and awesome food is worth it. Well be back!

Just went to oddbird for the first time with my 2 other friends and Ryan was an outstanding server!! Had a lot of fun here, great service, and even better food!! Btw the piercings went well!! Hahaa

Wow! Just wow! Great food, great staff and great atmosphere. We are new to the area and dropped in here for dinner, and were blown away. No reservations allowed, so we had to wait to get a table, but it was ten minutes at best, and we started with a drink from the bar. Every single server, and we had them all, was absolutely friendly and helpful. The food was unreal. The asparagus and hollandaise was amazing. I had the pasta, which I can t remember the name, but had lobster, peas and pork Belly, in a great and tasty sauce. My wife had one of the chicken sandwiches, which was delicious. Prices are reasonable and we will definitely be back. If I could give it six stars, I would.

Wow, what a great choice for dinner before the Jann Arden show at the Meridian Centre. We arrived at 6:00 just before it got a little busier. With the tables full ( it is indeed a cozy spot ), we were seated at the bar with a view right into the centre of the action. A great spot to sit as we saw the efficiency of the team, and the attention to details in food preparation. As our photos show, the specialty cocktails, appetizers and mains were excellent. One thing, the Arctic Char was a good size serving; the Seared Sea Scallops was on the small side for a main as there were only two scallops. A treat to our taste buds after two years of limiting eating out. The staff were engaging and we had engaging chats with our servers and the chef who was right at our dining area. Try this spot out, but be prepared for their popularity!

My husband and I ate here for the 1st time last night. Wed heard great things about OddBird, so we were not surprised that our entire meal was outstanding! Loved every delicious bite!

This was suggested to us for a good dinner. First off, the food was OK. I wasnt blown away by its flavour. My biggest complaint was how loud the place was. It made it very unpleasant. And we were just waiting for take out. It may be others cup of tea but wasnt ours. May try again with without different menu item for takeout if we order ahead. The employees were very nice and service was fast.

Nice little Bistro. Food and service was excellent. Place is small, they have two patios. They dont take reservations. But the wait isnt long. Their Duck prosciutto was amazing. My wife had their Burger and she said it was the best shes ever tasted. Definitely well be coming back.

Fancy food with the starters being the centre of attention of gastro pub delights, ranging from fried chicken or blistered shoshito peppers all the way to the more adventurous fried sweetbreads or bone marrow. For the entree you can choose from pub staples such as the classic beef burger, a fried chicken sandwich, or the 36oz steak. All top quality fare with variety through the door.

Fantastic restaurant with amazing food. Service is friendly and fast. Unique food menu, great bar menu and they really support quality local wines with a strong Ontario wine list.

Recently visited oddBird for the third time. Each experience has been consistent and top-notch. They have a skilled mixologist who gets really creative with their drink menu. Weve find this to be one aspect that really sets oddBird apart. The second distinguishing factor is the food menu which Id describe many items as tapas. It gives you the option of tasting more items and really digging into the fabulous menu. The final consideration Id give is the great service and ambience - it has a youthful vibe that attracts a diverse customer base. oddBird is truly a St Catharines gem. Keep up the stellar job! Including a few photos we took - neglected to take a shot of some menu items we tasted but I would highly recommend the escargot. Delicious!

Great smash burgers, add truffle fries and a good cocktail or two ...... thats why I go out . Go if youve been putting it off, good vibe.

Good selection and service.

Stopped in with family on their recommendation. Burgers and chicken burgers are great. They have a unique menu. They call it oddburger at this location and its not for nothing. Somethings Ive never heard of. I had a chicken burger. It really was amazing. A BIG chicken breast, battered and cooked to perfection. The price was comparable to any other restaurant. Id go back again.

Ricotta mushroom gnocci, Buffalo chicken sandwich, and the Rosewood Honey & Thyme Creme Brûlée were all amazing!! One of my FAVs on St. Paul st and the pictures dont do it justice at all. LOVED that he pasta was creamy, rich, and flavourful - 1000% would order again. The creme brule was the absolute most perfectly smooth texture.

the food was delicious. the waitress was very unfriendly but the food compensates for the service, I suppose. 8/10. As far as prices, it goes perfectly with the quality of the food: 10/10! The outdoors seating isn t comfortable (looks and feels like park picnic tables) but as I said, the taste of the food compensates for these little factors. You have to visit this place! It s truly authentic and delicious!

Very friendly girls from the staff. Tasty food. But they could improve their vegetarian game.

Amazing experience, food and cocktails. Make sure you try the bartender surprise.

Cozy and charming. This place is officially dope. I really love their fried chicken sandwiches. But its more than that, they have some more upscale items as well like oysters. Large drink menu with beer, wine and some in house cocktails; this list has something for everyone.

Fabulous end unit restaurant with a breezy covered patio, unique menu selection and wonderful serving staff. A great mix of comfort classic menu items and unique international inspirations. Highly recommend the oysters, perfectly shucked and succulent served with a an array of flavour drops (mini dropper bottles filled with tasty flavour mixes). The blackened octopus with tomato chow was very fresh but would benefit from a toasted crostini on the side. The braised beef poutine was incredibly soft and flavourful, would not change a thing! For czech beer drinking connoisseurs, note the unique beer offering you won t want to miss!

The food here was really fantastic, as was the service. The only feedback I have is the hip-hop music that was playing was very explicit, with the N-word occuring every few seconds. My wife who was dining with me is African American and found it pretty offensive. For this I knock a star off. You can still play hip hop - but without the explicit lyrics. Other than this music, the rest of the experience was great.

Fantastic food, atmosphere, service! We had three different chicken sandwiches, a burger, truffle fries, and fried olives which were all amazing. Visiting from out of town and on our way to Toronto. The chef even took time to make a long list of restaurants he recommends in Toronto. Thank you for a fantastic experience, we will return if we are in the area again.

This place is THE BEST! Service was great-very attentive and friendly! The patios were quite nice-I liked the one set back from the street, off the side of the restaurant. The food was excellent and creative. The crisply kale on top of the beets (pictured) was the best preparation of kale I have ever tasted in my life! The scallops were cooked perfectly. Great drinks-beer selection was good, ditto wine and cocktails. Sad I am not a local, but probably best for my pocketbook as I would want to visit frequently!

One of the best experiences and meals I have ever had. Sitting at the bar watching the attention to detail with each plate was so much fun. Everything on the menu sounded amazing and we had oysters to start with fried avocado sandwich, ahi tuna and salt and vinegar wedges. Well be back to try the fried olives!

Great service and delicious food. Very friendly staff.

odd.Bird - Simply put, one of the better dining experiences the fam and I have had in a long time. Food on point , service on point and the music was hella good! Eating here was such a vibe. So many wonderfully tasty treats were had, but the few that stood out had to be the casarecce pasta, chicken liver brulee, the foie pancakes and the bottle of refreshingly light and crisp riesling from @tawsewinery. #TomEatsYummyFoodBecauseWhyNot

Cocktails were great, place was really busy. A little hot but that s what we get for sitting at the chefs pass.

The food, The Staff, The drinks. It is all 11/10 and is the reason I keep coming back.

I had a decent first experience at oddBird. I enjoyed a Alambama Slamma smashburger, potatoes and a beer from Dominion Brewery. The burger was spot on, and the beer was cold. The Alabama white sauce was really good, and the burger had an awesome flat-top crust on it. I noticed that the staff seems to enjoy working at this establishment. The vibe of the restaurant is young though (mid 20s to early 30s), and I was not a fan of the new school hip hop music in the background either, but I am pretty sure I am not the target demographic for this restaurant. The restaurant is tight yet cozy and kinda charming. Music and vibe aside I woud give this place another try because the quality of the food outways the ambience issues.

Amazing food, super delicious, caring staff. Definitely a win.

Lovely atmosphere , and fantastic service

My first time at oddBird was a fantastic one. Very good food and great service

This place was fantastic. It was my first time going lastnight and the service couldnt be anymore top notch. Brandon was one of the best servers iv ever had! The scallops and mussels were to die for. I will definitely be back.

Reiterating what many have said: the BEST. Service and interactions with the waitstaff and (kitchen staff!) was attentive and friendly. I recommend ordering the gnocchi and grilled octopus; it was a fantastic combination. Their cocktails are great also! I cannot wait for my next trip to the St Catherines/Niagara region so I can come here again to try their wagyu.

Our dinner was good. The burgers were good. The fois gras with roasted pork belly sandwiched in pancake on top of sweet syrup is loaded with interesting flavors.

Best meal I ve ever had, hands down.

Wow what an experience! Incredible food and staff, highly recommend

Awesome menu choices equals great tasting food. Thank you for a wonderful experience

We had a birthday celebration. So we decided to have only appetizers for dinner. Not that the rest of the menu didnt look great too !! Well once again we were NOT disappointed. The food was amazing!! And the service was out standing.. I have eaten at Odd Bird many times and will be back again. !! The chefs are an amazing bunch ...!! And would totally recommend this wonderful little restaurant downtown St.Catharines !!

Tasty cocktails & wonderful service from our server Ryan! The selection of dishes on the kitchen menu are outstanding (both delicious & beautiful), and hit every mark. Perfect night out.

Food, service, atmosphere - 10/10. Best restaurant in St. Catharines

Best fried chicken sandwichs around!!!! You will be coming back for more!

Not a lot of tables but Interesting menu options and good service.

Stumbled onto this place when I was really craving a burger but Hambrgr had too long of a wait. First of all, the staff are outstanding. Welcoming, kind, informative and cool. The vibe is great, with open kitchen and lighting. Sit at the bar! It s so great to watch the chef s work. Stewart made me an amazing cocktail and the Oklahoma onion burger was sensational, no condiments needed. This place is such an amazing thing for downtown St. Catherine s. I m an out of towner, and I m so happy I discovered this place (I m here regularly for work). The prices are so reasonable for the overall experience. I highly recommend to everyone to check this place out!

WOW!!! Sooooo good!!! Impressed!! Great menu! Great service!! Sooooo yummy!!!

Hey maybe fix your hours on Google.

Really cool little place. Best scallops we have ever had, with a great drink menu. Service was awesome too. Will definately be back many times.

The bucket of chicken was excellent, no bones or gristle, crunchy, nicely spiced. The side sauces were good. Loved the deep fried olives (although expectedly a bit salty). The Brussel sprout side dish was disappointing with only about 4 sprouts and very over cooked, although the blue cheese and squash topings were very good. The thin potato wedges exceeded expectations and very delicious. No problems ordering or picking up. The lady was courteous.

yummy salmon tartare and then I tried the orange chocolate crème brûlée which was super good! Our server Ryan was the best!! friends got the oysters and loved them

We went for a girls night and had a great time. Cocktails were good and they have the best fried chicken! One friend did order a drink she didn t care for, she spoke up and it was taken off the bill without a problem

Had the jalapeño chicken sandwich omg it was amazing. Drinks were good, nice cozy atmosphere. Will definitely be returning!

The chicken sandwich was a delight as well as the creme brulee
