    I so enjoyed our time at Birch. Our server was helpful, the ambiance was lively and the food was great. While our entrees were excellent, I’m glad we saved room for dessert. The goat milk cheesecake and the pear upside down cake were extraordinary’

    We had an amazing dining experience. Seated at the counter for full view of the kitchen and the chef’s tasting menu. This restaurant is a well oiled machine, putting out amazing bites of food, staff is very friendly and engaging. Our only small complaint would be that in our opinion the dishes came out too quickly. We prefer to have a slower experience and take our time, but again that’s exclusive to our taste. We have done many chef’s tastings and this one definitely did not disappoint and we will return.

    We ordered off the menu for the day. We were tempted by the tasting menu, but opted to be less full at the end of the meal. Service was great. We had a shrimp starter, the dry aged New York strip (done to perfection!), a glass of wine, a cocktail, and 2 desserts. Everything was delicious. A bit pricey, but an experience, especially since we sat at the Chef's Counter and were able to observe all the kitchen goings on including the pastry chef. A wonderful evening!

    Our experience at Birch was outstanding! Our server (I believe her name was Lola…if that’s wrong I apologize.) was very knowledgeable about every dish that we had questions about, and ensured that we had a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious and dessert was even more incredible. Thanks so much for a wonderful evening!
