I think this is the best restaurant food in Boston right now, really outstanding. The wine program is exclusively Greek, the list is huge, the grape varieties unfamiliar and unpronounceable, but the waitstaff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The restaurant struggles to keep wines in stock; I ordered two bottles that were not available that night. The place is crowded and noisy, the patrons generally young and hip, lots of fun.

This was my first visit to Shy Bird. I was pleasantly surprised. There were two of us and we ordered a whole roast chicken, a side of fries, and a salad. The food was delicious and plenty enough for us. The service was excellent. Our server was helpful at all times, including lowering the music volume.
