Birch & Vine at The Birchwood

We were seated 30 minutes after our reservation time. They were apologetic. The menu selection was limited. The shrimp and calamari appetizer was good. My steak was cooked a perfect medium well and was tasty. The potatoes seemed old, didn’t taste like they were freshly made. The greatest disappointment was the cook on my husband’s steak. He likes medium well and his was rare. We told the staff and they offered to re-fire the steak he was already eating. That’s gross offering to take food back to the kitchen that he was already eating. Didn’t seem like a sanitary suggestion. At this point our appetite is gone. The manager did apologize and gave us a desert. It was sad that my husband had to take his steak back home to cook it. We were so disappointed and would not recommend or return.

Noisy-noisy-noisy. You could barely hear the person sitting across from you at a table of four. My steak was very tough. Was told by the waiter that he would tell the chef, but no adjustment or consideration or other accommodation was ever made. Don’t think I’ll be going back.

Tamale was not a tamale at all, just a corn salsa that was too spicy. They ran out of grouper, so we had crab cake, which was mostly filler, and tuna, which was good quality but bland without wasabi or ginger. Service was indifferent. Menu very limited. Excellent wine list and pleasant outdoor seating didn’t overcome shortcomings.

Been here several times and it never disappoints. Great quality Steak and comprehensive wine selection
Good waiters !

Great food and atmosphere

I have a very weird food plan that is vegetarian and gluten free. The chef made all sorts of accommodations for my menu selection. It was delicious and I will def return.

In my time in St Pete, I ate dinner at Birch & Vine twice! One evening the Salmon entree and it was absolutely delicious and full of flavors...yum! The next visit I had the Vietnamese-style Short Ribs and they hit it out of the park again! The meat was falling off the bone...tender as can be and filled with flavors and a bit spicy too! It was also served with a vinegar-based slaw that gave it a nice flavorful contrast! IF, I’d have to choose a better of the 2...I’d go with the short ribs...very good & 👍🏽up! I started with a side salad that included field greens, walnuts, goat cheese and I’m sure I’m missing ingredients but that too was full of flavor and greens were fresh & aldente too! lastly, I enjoyed a great Cab from Hess, Napa...delicious...cheers!

Food was good, portions are small for the price. Great for one on one conversations.

Always a great spot. Had the Trifecta eggs Benedict. Outstanding. Visited the Canopy after for a drink. We love the roof top bar. Amazing views.

I made a ridiculous request and they complied in good humor. Overall great restaurant. Would recommend.

Wonderful service...loved meeting Dave, an asset to the establishment....will come back and dine again.....

Great dinner with hubby. Nice and quiet right off the main drag in downtown St Pete.
Would return with out of town guests for special night out.
Valentina was our server and she was lovely.

Fantastic host on a very busy night! Very diligent young woman!

NYE dinner - food and service was amazing!

I planned my New Year's around this particular restaurant and was VERY disappointed. I want to note that the staff were wonderful and pleasant and they by no means influenced my poor review. I had heard that their food was good also and that was not the case. I had freezing cold crab cakes that were not good and I am not sure they would be good had they not been pre-cooked and sitting out. I also had a salad that was large but not tasty. Lastly, it's hard to describe how small the pour of wine I got when I ordered a Cabernet by the glass... I would say it was about 1/4 of a normal glass of wine. We left after about 40 minutes and went to another place for New Years. It was really a shame, they are in such a great location and should be able to handle a NYE flow of customers and still maintain quality.

Wonderful experience!Everyone was Amazing! Love Edwin as he continuously offers a world class experience to all guests! Thank you 🥂

Service great new years Eve food was cooked with a salt shaker manager very nice bartender awsome

We were promptly greeted and seated by the friendly and attentive host staff. Our service, food and drinks were all excellent and the outdoor seating area is perfect for people watching.

Food great but pricey -- We knew this however before we booked.
Holiday pre-fix as an option.
Great rooftop lounge/bar with water views
Would recommend

I took my mother in law and husband there for a pre New Years Eve late lunch in the dining room. The server was great, very attentive and informative about the brunch menu. The food was fantastic! Could not have been better. My husband raved over the pork belly poutain and he is not an expressive guy! And my family loved the holiday decor. Thank you for a memorable lunch.

Typically love this restaurant but I was disappointed with the small portions when I ordered the swordfish special.

Great service, beautiful day to sit outside and the food was amazing!

Ate outside on a beautiful evening. We both ordered the one vegetarian entree on the menu and were thrilled - totally delicious and flavorful veggies prepared in different styles. Great service, would go again

Great food. Very different. A la carte meals so we ordered the vegetarian dish as our vegetables. Pricey but worth it for he quality of food. Ambience was great. Canopy upstairs prior for a drink was great too

It was absolutely amazing! The service was delightful and on point! The drinks were well thought and the food was beyond amazing. The best bites in St. Pete. Playful, imaginative, delicious. The whole menu was well curated! Absolutely to die for!

The Christmas Eve dinner was fantastic. A slight delay with reservation due to the Holiday, but the wine, food and service were exceptional, as always.

Our reservations were for 7 pm. When we arrived our table was not ready, it was Christmas Eve and very busy. We did not mind the wait. The manager came over and apologize for the wait and offered us a complimentary drink. We had only been waiting no more than 5 mins. Our free wine arrived just as they seated us for dinner. Excellent customer service!
The food was wonderful and the setting beautiful.
It was our first time there and definitely will not be our last. Next year we may even stay at the hotel.

Christmas eve dinner. The restaurant was very busy but received excellent service and the food was exceptional. Salmon was amazing. Did not like the cheesecake pie, but everything else great.

Been there several times was great but not this time. When checking in hostess said the table was inside then we came down for dinner from the bar and she told us we were outside at the canopy. When questioned why it was not inside she said she never said that. The dinners were not as good as past visits same goes for the service. Hopefully they'll get back to the quality of food and service we experienced in past visits.

The bar at the top, known as Canopy, is excellent though a bit higher priced than its neighbors but the view and the scene is worth it. The restaurant downstairs is wonderful and has outdoor seating, with a view of the park and the bay beyond. The food is excellently prepared and the wine list is pretty extensive. The dish of the night was a dessert that had a pine oil ice cream that actually was quite good and the surprise of the night was the fact that the dessert was covered with caviar. Overcoming my initial reluctance, I tried it and it was delicious and everyone at the table enjoyed it. The table next to us was intrigued and order it as well and when we left, they were ordering two more. So it was good as well as memorable.

Wonderful experience and great value. Having drinks on the room top was a treat to enjoy before dinner

This is one of best restaurants in Florida. The food is creative and delicious. The atmosphere is top notch. And the service is warm.

Our food was good but the service was slow and unprofessional. All 3 cocktails (at $11 each) were incorrect, as was a draft beer. When pointed out to the server, she did not offer to get the correct order. The lighting was too dark and the noise level made it impossible to have dinner conversation. We have dined here a year ago, sitting outside, and the meal was lovely. Perhaps it was just an off night, but the prices are too high for that to happen.

We had a delicious brunch sitting outside. Food was fantastic. We had the charcuterie board, eggs Benedict with steak, poutine with pork belly, truffle and mushroom omelette and swordfish sandwich. All were fantastic. Service by Jeff was outstanding. We will be back.

Very nice dinner. We sat outside on the terrace deck which was super quaint.

We had a really great meal. The lamb was cooked perfectly, as was the fish. This place knows how to make an old fashion too!

Service was excellent. Food ran the gamut from very creative and good quality, to overpriced and suitable for complaints.

Disappointed that our table request was not honored. Food was average that night. Service just fair.

Celebration of Christmas celebration E I try bv close friends. Great service combined with superb food in a friendly but somewhat noisy environment. One of the top resturants in the area with justification First class I
In every respect.

Food was great. Was given a private dining room which was a pleasant surprise. Service was slow but we weren’t in a hurry. Nice not to be rushed sometimes.
