summer squash! Squash is salted to season and dry out the moisture. Deep fried until roasted, then it goes in a bowl of zhoug, green peppercorn, fermented serrano, and more summer squash. It gets some feta cheese, zaatar spice mix made with benne seeds and lemon thyme, and finished with purslane.
Pull up to the summer party with one of these beauties (we suggest the World-Famous Rose Petal Pie for dramatic effect 🌹) and thank us later. You can have some of our in-house cakes and pies made to order - hit the link in bio.

We've been getting whiplash from the weather all month long but our "Weekend at Birdie's" cocktail is here to serve all the summer vibes even when the weather isn't. Put your pinky's up for this one — as it's a cocktail from our bartender Laura, who's been with us since the beginning of Birdie G's opening.
Her inspiration for this cocktail was the feeling of relaxation and vacation when you go to a pool party. It's sweet and tart with lemon, kumquat, tamarind, St. Agrestis Paradiso, sipsmith, strawberry smash gin. Look closely and you'll see the garnish is summer ready too. 😎
Tonight's as good a night as any to indulge in a plate of our Lamb A La Saless with crispy rice, fenugreek, black lime, beet molasses, dill & saffron .
The latest Grilled Rockfish set — satsebeli, capers & shallots.
Please take a moment out of your day to congratulate our incredibly talented Executive Chef . Celebrations are in order as he’s made his way on to the Rising ’ list! 👏👏👏 Chef Matt brings creativity, excitement and drive to the kitchen unlike any other. A rising star chef in the making but a star chef at Birdie G’s already!
Cocktails served with a bit of drama. When the clock hits 5pm, it's time to grab drinks at Birdie G's.

The Relish Tray is a menu staple. We're always pulling from the farmer's market to give you a taste of the latest and greatest local veggies. Some of the produce is served raw, but you'll find we marinate, pickle and ferment the others — seeing what new flavors we can bring to your palate each time you visit. Served with our house-made five-onion California dip.

If candy grew straight from the earth, it would taste like a plate of these LAURA'S KIWIS. It's no ordinary plate of kiwis, as they're served with kiwigaki from 2 years ago that were rehydrated in a kombucha made from the same skins the chefs peeled off for the kiwigaki, green strawberries preserved from last year, passionfruit ricotta, sumac, chopped pistachios and yuzu koshu.

Our Story
Tucked away within Santa Monica’s historic Bergamot Station, we’re helmed by award-winning chef Jeremy Fox (also the chef/owner at Rustic Canyon and Tallula’s). As a member of the Rustic Canyon Family, a collection of celebrated, neighborhood dining destinations, Birdie G’s is a partnership with Jeremy and our co-owners Josh Loeb, Zoe Nathan and Colby Goff. Curious about our name? Birdie is Jeremy’s daughter and the “G” stands for Gladys, his grandmother. We’re the kind of place where you eat too much, drink too much and leave with a really big smile on your face. The menu is delightfully large and comforting, which means there’s truly something for everyone!
Everything from the food to the cocktails to the wine list has a story and pays homage to loved ones who inspire the team. We make everything with great, local ingredients, a lot of love and a wisp of nostalgia.
Gather a big group in our dining room or outdoor patio over a variety of wood-grilled steaks and meats, fresh west coast seafood, pasta, salads and whimsical mashups like a Hangtown Brei or “Sloppy Jeremy” Texas Toast. Deanie Hickox, Jeremy’s friend and ex-wife, is our rockstar consulting pastry chef, so don’t forget to leave room for a slice of “World-Famous Rose Petal & Pretzel Pie!”
Just as Gladys served as Jeremy’s muse, Rustic Canyon Family Wine Director Kathryn Coker looked to her own grandma, who used to drink a glass of wine every night, for inspiration. Our team can help you navigate through our massively, fun list of over 250 selections (we’ve got 90+ half bottles too). With cocktails by Bar Manager Stephanie Reading, our intimate bar and lounge (aka, “The Bird’s Nest”) is also perfect for gathering friends over a round of martinis and a relish tray. Our fare is a little familiar, a little playful, and we hope it reminds you a little bit of home.
