    Birk's is a hidden gem location wise, but always impresses with great meals, drinks, and service. Our anniversary was a weekday this year so we made a reservation that was close to the office but still a bit nicer for dinner. Per usual the food was to die for and our Server Allan was so friendly and helpful. The steaks are always done just right and the cocktail menu it top notch.

    We went there for a family member celebration - a party of 6. Everything was delicious. Our waiter Marco was excellent. Can be pricey if you all get steak! But, overall we enjoyed our meal and the dessert sampler was yum!
