My Fiancée and I came here for Valentines dinner. We were taken to a booth, which we were very happy about. We loved the atmosphere! Everyone had a great attitude and very personable! The service was fantastic !! Five stars all the way !

Delish Valentines day meal -- I took the famed whitefish and as usual it was superb while my partner took the full rack of ribs and found it very tasty, tender with a good rub. Service was a bit slow at our table for some reason - as tables nearby turned over 2 times! - but it was not a deal breaker as we enjoyed the time to chat and never felt rushed out despite the waitlist of people and the onset of blizzard that evening. The guys busing the table were on spot with water refills and extra garlic chips! The meal was accompanied by tankards of Pandle Brau - their specialty beer - a great evening!

My wife and I are big fans of Birch, which is why we dined here on Valentine’s Day. We sat at the chef’s counter and really enjoyed the experience from beginning to end. It’s easy to see why Chef Knall is a 2025 James Beard nominee for best Chef Midwest. The GM at Birch is so personable and acknowledges us on every visit. It’s no wonder his staff is so helpful and courteous. Book your reservation with confidence.

Staff, Nick primarily, were great. They were helpful, friendly, and even on Valentines weren’t pushing to turn the table. It made for a very relaxing and enjoyable evening.

They were open during a blizzard when the rest of the city shut down. Quality and consistency is always amazing. Probably the best restaurant in Milwaukee.
