Birds on a Wire, a Columbia institution, has relocated to a new building on Devine Street. From the muted, pea-green walls to the chickens chirping in the bathroom*, you’ll find that Birds on a Wire has comfortably settled into its new location. When we first arrived, we were immediately greeted by the hostess and told there was a short waiting list. This wasn’t a problem because the restaurant has a full service bar where customers can wait to be seated. After a short wait, we were taken to our table and greeted by our attentive waitress. She told us about the specials and the wine list. Birds on a Wire has an extensive wine selection, with red, white and sparkling wines sold by the glass and the bottle. We decided on the Leaping Lizard Chardonnay, a crisp white California wine. The wine complemented our appetizers: the chicken nachos with pulled chicken and a creamy cheese sauce, and the excellent crab cakes with a jalapeno mayonnaise. Birds on a Wire also has a variety of salads to choose from, including the Classic Iceberg Wedge. Choosing an entree was a difficult proposition considering the number of exceptional choices available. I decided on the nightly special, a crab cake-stuffed fish fillet served with a ribeye steak. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the fish was delicious. My friend ordered the chicken marsala simmered in garlic and marsala wine with mushrooms and shallots, which was equally delicious. PHOTO BY CANDI HAUGLUM At its new location on Devine Street, Birds on a Wire still delivers quality Southern tinged food. The list of tempting entrees includes a delicious chicken marsala. Desserts, which cost $4 to $6, are tempting, but so Is Ben and Jerry's next door Most of the dinner selections come with a choice of a side item. Highlights are the bleu cheese mashed potatoes, the ravioli of the day, baked sweet potatoes with nutmeg and cinnamon, the com and feta salad, and creamy cheese grits. Birds on a Wire also has a variety of desserts, which change on a daily basis, though the Ben and Jerry’s next door is just as tempting. The best thing about Birds on a Wire is the food’s consistency. I’ve never had a bad meal there, and I have always left feeling satisfied. Though the parking situation can be lacking, Birds on a Wire is definitely worth a visit. Atmosphere: A spirited, comfortable, American-style restaurant with Southern accented cuisine.
