Mockingbird Bistro

I would like to echo the same sentiments as most of the patrons and reviewers of the wonderfull eating establishment. I've been wanting to, for sometime, try this resturant out and finally got the chance this past weekend. When arriving parking was not an issue nor was getting a table, though we did not arrive till around 9 pm. Once we were seated and settled in I enjoyed looking over the area and decor. It was nice looking out the windows because it gave you a little sense you were looking out your dining room windo w at home inspecting the dimily lit neighborhood. I thoroughly enjoyed the menu choices and the wine list had a nice range of lower priced drinks and the upper priced ones, but well within the range of acceptable. I ended up choosing the 'mountain trout' first course while my companion had the 'king salmon'. I would have to say that was one of the best dishes I've eaten in a long time.
I would highly encourage anyone to try this place out and definitely will visit this eatery soon.

If I had only one issue, its not with the resturant but with Citysearch dispalaying that this place is a $$ meal price eatery. Its really $$$ - $$$ 1/2 bills, because the average main entree is over $32.

You can't beat the food at MB, it's fantastic. However, unless you're one who just rolled in from River Oaks, the wines are a bit pricey for the upper middle class. It's really a shame they don't offer some of the nicer wines retailed at $18 to $35 a bottle, cause even after they put their 2-2.5 times mark-up, we'd still be paying $50-$80 a bottle. $46 for a $16 bottle of Groth Sav Blanc is pushing it a bit; and the $50 for the $20 bottle of Becker Cab Sav is way out there. Too bad the wine prices aren't in line with the food prices.

So when I want a good wine, I go elsewhere and have my nice wine at a fair price along with a great meal. When I go to MB, I have an excellent meal without the wine. Oh well....

Great little restaurant in the quaint Montrose neighborhood. Upscale but comfortable decor and food with pretensions to haute cuisine that hits the mark. The chef, John Scheely is personable and very creative. Not much bar action but a great place to take a date. I highly reccommend.

My Husband and I decided to go treat ourselves before we went to have our taxes done... Boy, did we feel great after eating such a wonderful lunch! The Beef Carpaccio made me think "This is the reason for cows!" The prime steak was another devine beef plate... cooked to perfection and served with some of the world's best pommes frites (or as we call them... french fries). The prices are steep, but what you would expect from a classically trained Chef who operates a beautiful top notch bistro in the middle of River Oaks!?

My wife and I recently had lunch together. I could not have asked for anything more. Considering the menu's offerings, it was fairly priced. A bit on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. The service was prompt and attentive, while far from intrusive. My wife enjoyed her meal immensely, and the mussels were to die for! Not an everyday hangout, but well worth a trip. Kudos to the Chef!
