For full transparency, I used to be invited to a gentle opening at Red Bird, however I did pay full value for the meal and nothing was comped or discounted. Should I ever go to a gentle opening the place the meals is roofed, I’ll let you already know, however this wasn’t a type of instances.
The very first thing folks will discover is the patio going through the south aspect.
Moving inside, custom-made furnishings adorned the inside. You might inform a whole lot of thought and energy was put into making Red Bird a actuality.
To add to the atmosphere, there was a storage door that additionally opened as much as the patio.
There have been 14 sandwiches on the menu to select from. It was troublesome to determine on only one, so I went with three for myself.
My order consisted of a full Cuban, half Wren (wagyu roast beef, spicy tomato relish, Gouda cheese, microgreens and mustard aioli), and half Golden Pheasant (grilled salmon, carrot ginger, jalapeño slaw, cucumber, purple onion and spicy aioli). For my aspect, I went with the elote pasta salad…sure, you learn that proper, elote pasta salad.
Honest to God, I couldn’t choose a favourite one at Red Bird. They have been all phenomenal. There have been bits of every sandwich that I beloved.
For starters, the Cuban was a basic. It really was all the pieces one would anticipate out of 1. I believed it couldn’t get any higher, however then the Wren blew me away with the wagyu roast beef and the spicy tomato relish. The meat was extremely tender and the relish added the bit of warmth my style buds have been craving for. Then, I didn’t suppose it couldn’t get any higher, and the Golden Pheasant accomplished my dinner of a holy trinity of sandwiches. The salmon was grilled to perfection and the jalapeño slaw was one of the best addition to the salmon.
And the elote pasta salad? Easily a high ten aspect I’ve had in Wichita. (Mental be aware: I’ll should make an inventory of superior sides on the town).
I might actually go on and on in regards to the meals, however I believe that claims sufficient. Everything was really great, together with my cocktail, The Ginger Bird (Tito’s fragrant bitters, cranberry easy, lime cordial, Crabbie’s ginger beer).
Wichita is really in for a deal with when Red Bird formally opens to the general public. I’ll actually be again, and one in all my objectives simply could be to strive each sandwich there.
Here was the menu at Red Bird:
