RC Plus: Fooding Around at Birdie’s Dinner & Desserts New restaurant opens in Middleburg
Middleburg – We had one of our River City Live viewers suggest a new restaurant in Middleburg. After 10 years, Jo and Jeff Mitnick moved from Miami after shutting down their restaurant to slow down BUT that didn’t work out. Birdie’s Dinner & Dessert is their new creation...a bit more intimate, focused on desserts and a menu that combines a bit of a Americana with their Miami connection. EP Tom and Rance did a deep dive into the flavors...just for you. You’re welcome!!
