GUESTBOOK
Amazing fOOd and amazing staff!
I cannot say enough good things about Bluebird. My husband and I went there for the first time last night and the food was out of this world. Just when you think things can’t get better their staff is absolutely exceptional. Sabrina went above and beyond to make our meal enjoyable and Rick the owner went out of his way to come by and chat up our table. Both made us feel extremely special and I can confidently say we have found our new date spot! Thank you Bluebird staff !

The food is so good, hats off to the chef..presentation is everything! The menu is a little pricey but you get what you pay for.

Orangevilles Bluebird Cafe, a hOnest review
An absolutely fantastic evening. Our night started with Rick (owner) warmly escorting us to our chairs and taking our coats, making us feel welcome and appreciated. He showed a real interest during conversation, and was very warm and extremely courteous to us both. Being british, I have been fortunate enough to have eaten in a few very nice restaurants, all over Europe, and Rick easily compares to the best standard of maitre d' that they offered. We were then looked after by one of the Bluebirds team named Skyler, who to be quite honest, was a complete gem. She happily listened to every question, giving concise information and also recommending items that ended up not only being delicious, but something that we will happily add to our meal going forward. Skyler was attentative, but not overbearing like some restaurants, where you can barely take a mouthful of food before being asked how your meal is. This shows she is observant of all the patrons, and chooses her time to provide a better meal experience when it actually appropriate. She deserves top marks.
The arrival of my meal was a joy to all my working senses, it smelled so good, looked absolutely incredible, and tasted mouth-wateringly delicious, showing the quality and care put into your meal by the chef team, who obviously know they are appreciated by the completely empty plates that return to the kitchen once the meal is over. The starter and entree were perfectly timed and spaced for us both, making sure we didn't feel rushed, but also not taking forever in between coursed.
On hearing it was our anniversary, we were sent two complimentary glasses of bubbly, these are the touches that make a restaurant, not good, but great. My entree consisted of a 12oz striploin cooked medium rare, which arrived cooked to perfection.
We have been coming to this restaurant since 2019, when Michelle and Rick Arsenault took over the ownership of the name. Please note that any reviews before April 2019 are the previous owners, who in my opinion were not great. Rick and Michelle on the other hand have turned this business into a warm, friendly place, where you actually feel like family. They are an asset to Orangeville, and long may they be here to add quality and friendship to this town.

SpOt tO end Off a great day
We decided to stop in for a late lunch after a day of shopping, and immediately knew we made the right choice! Their hospitality was top notch, as was the food and service. It was the perfect lunch (and dinner!)

Every bite was AMAZING!
We came to celebrate my colleagues birthday on Tuesday, November 21st at 4:45pm. It was both of our first time dining here and I’m blown away. Every bite was AMAZING! We started with the mozzarella, then calamari, our mains we shared which were the charred 12 oz steak and the seafood pasta! Again, everything was flavourful, hot and great portions. We definitely had more than enough food and we were stuffed! Our drinks were great as well, Caribbean café and the blue bird (very tropical). I’m sad my colleague had to get home or else we would have done dessert .

JUST WONDERFUL!
Absolutely amazing dinner, such a friendly, warm and welcoming atmosphere. The pasta was the best we’ve ever had and we will definitely be coming back again soon!! The staff were all so friendly; we were welcomed at the door and had a kind gentleman take our jackets and personally thank us for coming in and asked how our meal was. You don’t get that kind of service at a chain restaurant. Authentic and classic charm :)

AbsOlutely amazing experience.
My daughter and I lucked upon the Bluebird Cafe and we couldn’t have been happier. The food was amazing, the ambiance was fantastic, and We were in the hands of Denise, one of the finest servers I’ve ever encountered. She was sweet, attentive, knowledgeable, and upon learning it was a belated birthday dinner, didn’t let my daughter leave without a piece of cake to go. Will definitely be returning.

amazing atmOSPHERE
I’ve always gotten takeout from Bluebird, but today we decided to dine in!
I cannot get over the amazing atmosphere, food and service at Bluebird. They made my birthday extra special! They were so amazing with my 6 year old son as well!
The owners came over and had a chat with us, their team was on point and very quick. From the welcome in the door, to the sit down, the food and even the goodbye! I mean come on how can you not recommend Bluebird. If I could give ten stars I would. I wish I took a picture of my food to post with my review but I ate it very fast!
I highly recommend Bluebird and will absolutely be back with my family.
Thanks so much guys!

An Incredible Italian Restaurant
Went for lunch.Is the best experience by far that we had while traveling around Ontario for 18 days. In fact, it is a very long time since we were more impressed with any restaurant or server.Suffice to say that the food was absolutely fabulous. And the waitress was from a bygone era when being successful as a server required maturity, exceptional people skills and knowledge about what constitutes proper etiquette and manners.The restaurant is very busy, so are told that reservations are almost a must, especially for dinner.If we lived in the area, would be regulars.

Amazing Restaurant
My friend and I were passing through and stopped in for dinner at Bluebird Cafe and Grill. Staff were amazing, and the service excellent! We were dining on the patio, Rick came out and offered all diners blankets as the evening was turning a bit cooler. Denise and Maylley were super sweet and very attentive. The food came out hot and was delicious!! The dessert was the best we have ever had.We will be returning for sure.

50TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
We stayed at the Millcroft Inn and Spa but chose the Bluebird for my birthday dinner, the service was amazing, the owners also came by to ask about our experience, was a nice touch. The Caesar salad was made in house with an Anchovy base to die for. We had the Shrimp very refreshing and delicious and the homemade bread to soak up the amazing sauce with a hint of lemon was incredible, followed by the Woodfired Pizza delicious. We had some delicious drinks with dinner and I was brought a generous piece of homemade cheese cake incredible and so thoughtful of our server and the owners. I will be coming back here again to eat.

Better than ever!
We dined at the Bluebird last night for dinner before the theatre. We have dined a number of times previous to this visit as we are Orangeville Theatre subscribers. We heard the restaurant changed owners and I would like to confirm the change is for the better. The staff seems much more relaxed and the new owners are so much more personable and engaging. The new owners Michelle and Rick did not hesitate to approach our table and introduce themselves and engage in conversation with us. They are a welcome change to the tense atmosphere we have experienced in the past. The food was always excellent and again I am happy to say nothing has changed. Michelle and Rick also dropped by the table after our meal to ensure all was as anticipated and expected.
Be sure to call ahead for reservations! They are ALWAYS busy and you don't want to be disappointed because you didn't call ahead.
Kudos to Michelle and Rick! You have managed to make a great restaurant even better.

JUST WONDERFUL!
We had dinner here recently, not for the first time and not for the last! We visit Orangeville a couple of times a year and would never miss the Bluebird. The atmosphere is very comfortable and the service is excellent. Servers are so friendly and helpful. The food? What can I say? This was one of the best restaurant meals we have ever had. I speak for myself, my husband and my brother. We all had fettucine which was perfectly cooked....perfectly! My husband had the Alfredo sauce and mushrooms on his. My brother and I had the fettucine with scallops and spinach with Alfredo sauce. This dish usually comes with a marinara sauce but I love Alfredo and they were fine with the substitution. It was ambrosia! Dessert was creme brulee and a cheesecake slice which was sooo lovely. There is clearly pride in the staff of the Bluebird and they have a lot for which to be proud. I am already anticipating our next visit!
