    Birch is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. The food? Simply some of the best we’ve ever had! Every dish was a masterpiece with flavors that blew us away. You can tell how much thought and care goes into every ingredient. Their in-house pastry chef is a true artist. Make sure to save room for dessert; you won’t regret it! The drinks were fantastic as well—expertly crafted and the perfect complement to our meal. Highly recommend!

    we are working our way down the list of best Milwaukee restaurants and this is our favorite by far. everything on the December tasting menu was different and perfect. balanced flavors. Mixture of textures. Mix of temperatures . of the six or seven items on the menu we can’t decide which we liked best because we were each so good.

    This was an incredibly delicious meal! Definitely will be back. My only issue was that there were a lot of bones in the trout that we had. Other than that, everything had amazing flavor and texture components! Super delicious!

    My wife and I have always wanted to visit Birch. We decided to have an impromptu date night! The atmosphere/decor was amazing. The food, absolutely excellent, but... there is a but. When we arrived early we decided to sit at the bar, my wife went to the restroom; the bartenders hadn't taken my order until she got back. Then she ordered and unbeknownst to us, her drink sat at the end of the bar for 10 min before anyone noticed. Could have been an off night for them so we'll come back but have to say that as the initial experience was off putting, especially since the bar wasn't busy.

    Birch is a gastronomical delight! An over all exceptional experience in tasting perfection, from one bite to another. With the only exception being that each course needed an encore bite, as each was so amazing that you were left wanting more. Our party cannot wait to return for another culinary delight once again, at Birch. We appreciated every moment of this experience with the entire staff giving us guidance and commentary about our selections and experiences. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to experience food in a unique way, and vegetables the way kids should be taught to enjoy them! Absolutely, amazing!

    The pork and spaetzle was great. We had the beef carpaccio, fennel salad, and crab dip. The desserts were excellent as well. We had a great server and enjoyed the ambience. I highly recommend Birch and will definitely be returning.

    Made a reservation and we didn’t know that it was the French Bistro pop up night. Wow! What an amazing experience from the service (thank you Lola) to the drinks and ultimately the food. Outstanding experience!
