Our Story

WHAT’S THE NAME AND LOGO ALL ABOUT?

The name, BYRD, is a nod to the American polar explorer, Richard Byrd, and our logo is the Arctic Tern. Arctic Terns have, by far, the longest and most meandering migration patterns of any animal, and we liked the comparison to our owners,

Chef Ehren and Nadine, who have traveled the world on their culinary career, before landing in New Jersey.


WHAT’S BYRD?

BYRD is the second NJ restaurant for Michelin-trained husband-and-wife duo Ehren and Nadine Ryan. BYRD will serve casual, shareable plates and wine pairings influenced by our owners’ meandering travels from Australia and Austria to New Jersey. 

Our hope is that by sharing a bit of our journey, we invite our new community to enjoy our globally inspired food and wine together.
