Recently we went to Lafayette for lunch at a new restaurant
called ‘Social Bird’.
Curtis and Esin, owners of renown Esin and Revel in Danville recently opened up this new foodie, fun place. Located in the the old Yankee Pier restaurant in downtown Lafayette, it is open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week.
It has a classy, comfortable ambience and a menu similar to Revel. There is also an extensive list of wine, beer and cocktails. You can also eat at the bar and enjoy watching sporting events on the big screen TVs that are perfectly located over the bar.
We began with the avocado bruschetta with pickled peppers, crispy shallots and sea salt that we shared at the table. For the main course, my wife, ordered the grilled Mary’s chicken breast with arugula farro, roasted beets, sherry vinaigrette, feta cheese, and avocado cream that was fresh and light. Our friends ordered the grilled wild prawns and fried chicken buttermilk sliders with Napa slaw that brought many smiles and kudos. I ordered the Snake River farms Wagu burger with homemade pickles, hand cut fries on a fresh challah roll that was cooked to perfection. The roll was also one of the best I have experienced on a burger.
For dessert, there are a variety of coffee, teas. Cognac, ports and cheeses to choose from and of course a nice selection of the ‘famous desserts’ by Esin.
Like ‘happy social birds’, we shared the warm apple crisp with whipped cream that was heavenly. The Granny Smith apples were very fresh and full of flavor.

Lafayette and we would return soon.
