The Bird Cafe in Sundance Square Plaza Is Now Open For Business

The newest restaurant from Shannon Wynne has come to Sundance Square Plaza. 

The restaurant, a looming space with 6,400 square feet indoors and 1,300 square feet of patio, is split between two levels in the renovated 1889 Land Title Building and newly built Commerce Building. In a release, Wynne called the Land Title Building, "one of the very last of a building style that used to dominate downtown Fort Worth, representing the lavish and detailed Victorian architecture that Americans at the time emulated from Europe."

The restaurant's bird theme is evident in the art by Fort Worth artists Scott and Stuart Gentling. They created a 47-pound boxed collection of watercolors, called Of Birds and Texas, which features portraits of more than 50 species of birds found in the state.

"This may be one of the only places that all of the birds can be seen hanging in one place,” said Wynne. The Gentlings also painted the domed ceiling of Bass Performance Hall.

Signature items of The Bird Cafe include the Monte Cristo sandwich special, "Moth balls," pot pie and mussels. The night menu will include dishes suitable for sharing, such as deviled eggs and chicken-skin chips.
