    We love Birk's - it has the best steak in the area. My favorite is the filet mignon, my husband loves the prime rib and my son loves the lamb chops. It is a great place for large parties and families, but as a consequence it can come off as crowded and noisy, so I would not go here for a romantic date. I love the creme brulee but the lava cakes were a bit cold.

    Meat quality did not match price. Spinach was bland and bitter. Crab croquettes were good.

    I ordered the NY strip special (med rare) and they brought it to me at medium. They tried to get me to keep it,saying it was medium rare, when it was not. It turns out, it was their last steak so that is why they were trying to push it on me. I ended up having to order the filet.

    I have been going here since they opened and has probably been at least over 20 years or more and every time I’ve been there it’s been excellent.
