    Birch’s oyster pop up occasions are an amazing combination of fresh sea food and outstanding preparation. Having the privilege to experience them more than once, the preparations are always changing and a delight to those who enjoy clean and fresh cuisine.

    I really try to go to other restaurants but it's so hard not to choose Birch. So I almost always do. Food is always perfect. Service is always top notch. Wine list is great across all price points. Cool bar options, great cocktails. Feels like you're a VIP. It's just the best. And some of the best (if not the best) pasta dishes anywhere. The whole situation is just nuts. I love it.

    Good and drinks were exceptional. Service was good - it was fast but our server was gone for long periods. The smoke smell on our clothes afterwards was unfortunately strong, but understandable with their set up. Overall was a great experience.

    We enjoyed the tasting menu which allowed our palette a variety of food options we would not have normally chosen. It was an enjoyable experience, and not stretched out too long based on the many different selections we were given. It made for an enjoyable work celebration.
