Very pleasant experience. Staff was always ready to help or get a drink. We plan to go there again. The money is the same as what I spend at the more traditional breakfast places. Staff was much nicer and I feel the food was better. Very much enjoyed the experience!

Booked Blue Birch for a business lunch that included six attendees. The team appreciated the good service and good food. In addition, the restaurant is located in a Marriott which allowed space for the lunch attendees to make phone calls and log on to their laptops. Boss rated this location A+.

I made an outdoor reservation for Mother’s Day brunch. It wasn’t until our party was ushered to a table in the back of a hotel ballroom that I was informed outdoor reservations are not allowed for brunch. I asked the hostess why I was able to make an outdoor reservation when it wasn’t available and she told me it was OpenTable’s fault. If I had known this, we would’ve gone to the Mother’s Day brunch happening less than five miles from home instead of driving 25 miles to Minnetonka. The menu on their website is old because half the items listed weren’t available. The buffet was not worth $50/person by any means. I would not go back and wouldn’t not recommend

I have never had such a terrible dining experience and there was only one other family there! The waitress was so rude. When we asked about non alcoholic options she just said "No we can't do that." Our reservation was at 6pm, there was 5 of us, and we did not get our food until after 7pm. Again, only one other family in the entire place. One of our party ordered medium rare steak and received a well done steak and by then it was too late to ask for another one (and potentially another hour of waiting) and so we just shared our meals with her and they did not even comp the over $35 steak. The restaurant is in the lobby of a hotel and there will be people running around with their shoes off, just a heads up if that is not your thing. Felt like a worst version of Applebees with triple the price and worse food.

The waiter was good. The food was quite tasty, and it came out fairly quickly. Because this was an open space it was fairly noisy but for this time that was not a problem.

Food (burger/fries and salad) were filling and delicious. Our server was accommodating and friendly and took care of us. Food is a bit overpriced, but I'd expect this from an more upscale hotel restaurant.

The food was super delicious but the atmosphere is a little weird. You’re sitting in the lobby of the Marriott hotel while dining. Also there was a singing group in the lobby that was way too loud. Couldn’t have a decent conversation with my dinner guest.
