Frequently Asked Questions

How does OvenBird's signature Beef Fat Candle work?

The Beef Fat Candle is an interactive starter where a hand-sculpted candle made of seasoned beef tallow is lit at the table. As it burns, the tallow melts into a warm skillet filled with Spanish sofrito, aromatic herbs, and savory jus, creating a rich dip served with charred artisan bread.

What dietary accommodations are available for gluten-free and vegetarian diners?

OvenBird offers several naturally gluten-free small plates, including the wood-charred Octopus Salad, braised Pork Belly with grit cake, and ember-roasted Beef Shoulder Complex. Vegetarian options include the house-made Farmer Cheese with Calabrian chili oil and wood-roasted potatoes with salsa brava and garlic aioli.

What is the dining style and recommended ordering strategy at OvenBird?

OvenBird operates as a live-fire small-plates restaurant inspired by traditional Spanish tapas and Southern hearth cooking. Plates are brought to the table as they are ready from the open flame, and it is recommended that parties order 3 to 4 dishes per couple to share.

What regional Southern touches can be found on the live-fire menu?

The kitchen pairs Spanish tapas techniques with Southern ingredients, such as serving crispy braised pork belly over a griddled Southern grit cake, incorporating local Conecuh sausage into live-fire preparations, and roasting dishes over regional hardwoods like hickory and pecan.

What is the average price range for dishes on the menu?

Shared snacks and small plates range from $6 for classic deviled eggs to $20 for roasted bone marrow with oxtail marmalade, with most savory plates priced between $10 and $16.
