About
Shy Bird is a casual eatery in Kendall Square, Cambridge, serving comfort food and cocktails with a covered terrace. Reviewers praise the rotisserie chicken, Caesar salads, and smash burger. The atmosphere is described as chill and pleasant, with outdoor seating quieter than the dining room. Service is attentive and prompt. Indoor seating appears limited; one visitor found the outdoor chairs uncomfortable, while another enjoyed the patio during dinner. Lunch draws crowds before noon.

They don't advertise it on their site, but they offer it at their Kendall location as well. However, it's not the most comfortable space and gets super crowded for lunch.
