This cozy restaurant has left the best impression! Hospitable hosts and staff, delicious dishes (the salmon, cod and short ribs are to die for! and definitely get the Brussel sprouts and beet salad as a starter and order all the desserts and share with friends because they’re all so good you’re going to want to try them all- the crème brûlée is so so so good!), the beer list is extensive and alway changing. I’ll definitely be back again and again because there seems to always be something new to try. I am so happy it’s reopened. Definitely go upstairs to Churchkey for after dinner drinks. It won’t disappoint.
My husband and his friend visit Churchkey often for beers but we all decided to try out dinner at Birch & Barley since they just recently reopened since covid. I absolutely loved the ambiance and aesthetics in here! The atmosphere feels like a perfect date spot. Food was also great. We got the bone marrow, lamb carpaccio, Brussels sprouts, steak frites, and pork chop. Everything was very tasty. Also amazing service!
This is the first restaurant that I’ve reviewed where giving five stars was not enough. Not only did we have amazing food, not only was the atmosphere cool and comfortable, not only did the bartender nail my Old Fashioned making it one of the best ever but the staff treated us better than any other restaurant we’ve ever been to. Our wait-person was Nija and she was wonderful. Friendly, outgoing, funny and efficient. Such good service that made us feel so welcome that I felt like we were coming there for years. Nate was the Sous Chef who visited us several times to make sure everything was done right and to our satisfaction. Well, needless to say, it was. The food: Let’s start with my breakfast sandwich which was bacon, scrambled eggs, arugula and cheddar on an everything croissant. I inhaled it. Fantastic. We had homemade tater tots which now has spoiled me so I don’t know if I can go back to the usual ones you get. Fresh and crispy on the outside and nice and mushy on the insi
