Fantastic food and the cornmeal ice cream was one of the best desserts I have had. Our server was okay and that was the issue. The wine, the food, and the ambiance were superior and an okay server sticks out more in a place like this....cannot recommend Birch enough.

Our server Lola was wonderful. Food was flavorful and delicious. Personalized birthday card on the table prior to us being seated added a special touch. We will definitely be back.

As usual, we had an amazing experience at Birch. My wife and I sat at the Chef’s Counter and had the tasting menu. The food was all incredible, and Chef Zach and Chef Issac (who recently joined the team) took great care of us. It’s a true pleasure to be able to watch the entire team work with such precision and turn-out some of the best food in Milwaukee.

Despite arriving after hours, the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, keeping the restaurant open to serve me. They thoughtfully inquired about dietary restrictions, offered beverages, and provided customized menus. The team went above and beyond—allowing me to take food to go and handling the situation with warmth and professionalism. The chef even took the time to explain proper storage and reheating instructions, ensuring my meal would be just as enjoyable later. Their exceptional hospitality and attention to detail made a lasting impression.
