Always a great meal at Birba. Pizza is outstanding and the drinks are great. Meatballs, cauliflower, and salads are all favs. The green beans are a new find as is the chicken. All good. So fun sitting outside enjoying the desert nights.

5 stars all around. Vibe was on point but one thing we need to highlight is our server (we feel so bad that we can’t remember his name)! He made the PERFECT recommendations for all our dishes and was an incredible host. We had an absolute blast celebrating our 3 year anniversary at Birba and you best believe that we’ll be back.

Pizza was way too thin and hard. Salads were overdressed. Eggplant was mixed with some sort of cinnamon related spice flavor that was trying too hard to be elevated and ended up just taking wack. Bring back soft bread triangles and burrata with peaches. We miss the old birba. Wait staff and ambiance amazing as always!

Food was great. We were there for a birthday. Much of the seating is outdoors, not under cover. Normally this is not an issue in Palm Springs, but due to some thunderstorms we had to cut dinner short. Not restaurants fault, but having more covered tables would help.

Terrific food and service, cute place. The whole restaurant is an outdoor patio. And even though it was about 102 degrees out, the misters kept us comfortable.

We had a lovely time at Birba despite the fire engines racing to a nearby fire. Great cocktails, delicious food and fantastic service. The restaurant is open air but even in the heat, we were comfortable. The chicken with dates and olives was remarkable as were several of the pasta dishes. And don't miss Nana's meatballs but remember to order some bread to sop up the sauce!

The evening was nothing short of "perfect". The mellow ambiance on the patio, the bartender's expertise in crafting unique cocktails, and the eclectic menu set the tone, but our server, Vanessa, completed our dining experience. Her knowledge of the menu, attentiveness, and warm & welcoming personality was outstanding...thank you!

The ambiance was just perfect and the wait staff were lovely….everyone! And now let’s talk about the food…AMAZING. The homemade pesto pasta was light and delicious. The farro salad was a winner and the involtini was the best. Overall a wonderful evening. We were celebrating our Moms 94th birthday and everyone was sweet to her and brought the most amazing desert to celebrate. Was such a nice experience we went back the very next night!

Sat at the back of the restaurant next to a wall. Wait staff kept squeezing by as a shortcut to other tables. Trays and elbows hitting my head. We were a party of six, the most simple dish “cheese pizza” came out 30 minutes after everyone else was served. We asked twice about the pizza and was told “ya ya ya”. They continued to forget ordered drinks and would ignore us. The bill came with additional charges, it took another 20 minutes to get that straightened out. Not sure if this was a bad night, or just horrible customer service. Would I go back… probably! The food and atmosphere was great, worthy of a second chance.

The drinks, crispy eggplant, and chocolate torte were very good, but the garlic knot was a waste of money. It was one small, rock hard, burnt knot for a whopping $14. The beet salad was a little on the bland side. The Nutella tiramisu was like very soft pudding. Service was slow & inattentive. On two occasions our server was just hanging out at the bar, chatting, while we waited for things he said he’d be right back with. Overall this was a disappointing experience for our 20th wedding anniversary.
