A lofty, stylish room and downtown locale attract no shortage of business lunches, but this songbird is also a pitch-perfect fit for relaxed meals among friends. The name references a fable that gives us the proverb “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,” and an approachable menu of rustic fare aims to make the most of the season with a bounty of shareable plates. A wood-fired oven leaves its mark on beautifully blistered Roman-style pizzas, while baked sweet potatoes reveal tender interiors with crispy, golden-brown skin and flavorful xo sauce. Desserts like peaches and cream cheesecake or sorbets and ice cream offered by the scoop end the meal on a sweet note.
