    We were seated soon after our arrival (improved over previous years). Turkey dinners were delicious.

    One of my favorite restaurants, Birk’s is like a home away from home. I came to this restaurant for lunch once a week for over 10 years. The service is perfect - timely and personal. I love this place.

    Our experience was great. Noise level was normal for a busy establishment. I would never complain about noise when I am out and about. It comes with the territory. Food was amazing. I had a Wagyu Skirt steak that was prepared exactly as requested and a lobster tail that was fluffy and cooked with perfection. Me and my wife were here pre covid and we were wondering if Birk’s survived the epidemic. Congratulations on withstanding the test of time, for Birk’s is just as fabulous now as it was then. 5 Stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The food was delicious and the meat tender, however we did not care for the wood smoked flavor on the prime rib. That was a surprise. We offset the taste with a little ranch dressing. The service was excellent and the ambience was great!

    my partner and i did not feel warmly welcomed tonight. we arrived only three minutes later than the reserved time slot and were told that the place was full. we waited for the next available seat without a single word of sorry. i guess they do not understand the meaning of a reservation. food is great. no doubt. noise level is high.

    Food is good and has been consistent throughout the years. Service was lackluster. Had to remind the waiter constantly for things, and he kept forgetting. Even told him we wanted separate cheeks from the beginning and failed on that as well.

    The food was good, but definitely not 5 star. Sides were Luke warm. New York had no juice. They were good cuts of meat, seemed like perhaps the kitchen was not organized well. We had reservations way in advance for anniversary. They sat us next to food service window while several nice tables weee open and stayed open the whole time. We had service people scuttling about the whole time. Not the best by far. The staff was friendly.

    Great service. Our waiter was attentive and offered recommendations. The blacked ribeye was phenomenal. Saved room for the dessert menu. The cheesecake paired with the inniskillin ice wine is a match that is second to none. Found a new wine & dine spot. I will definitely be back to sometime soon.
