I cannot say enough about this place. From the ambiance to the food to the service it is absolutely phenomenal. If you are lucky enough to get Marco as your server you will have THE BEST time. He is amazing. Sweet, funny, very attentive, and overall an amazing server. This is our new anniversary spot. Thank you Marco and the manager for making our 7th year anniversary so special last night. ♥️♥️♥️

Well, first off, we have decided to make Birk’s our Mother’s Day “brunch” tradition. Service staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and ALWAYS on top of it. Food is always well seasoned and cooked perfectly. We have tried many other restaurants on Mother’s Day.. and, usually, some thing suffers from how busy it is. Not at Birk’s. This year was our fourth year coming, and we will continue to do to the amazing food and impeccable service!

DON'T SIT WHERE WE SAT. We went on a Saturday for my husband's 72 birthday. The hostess sat us on the main floor at a two person table which just happened to be directly underneath the A/C vent. I have been SICK SINCE 2 AM SUNDAY MORNING AND TODAY IS TUESDAY. I would go back in the future, but I will make sure I look up at the ceiling to make sure there isn't an A/C vent. No meal is worth how sick I've been.

The food was outstanding. My wife and I both had the Peppercorn Filet and it was incredibly tender. One of the best steaks I’ve ever had, seriously. The service was very good. It was a little pricey, but you totally get what you pay for.

Seating was so tight that it was impossible to get in and out of my chair without hitting the back of the chair of the guest behind me....rather embarrassing and annoying. My lunch partner had the same issue with guest sitting right behind her.

Love this more traditional steak house. The outside is nothing remarkable, but the interior gives you a good feel. Prime rib, ordered by almost all in my group, is great and smoked prime rib is even better: great cuts and cooked to perfection. Appetizers (oysters, calamari, etc.) all delicious and good portions. Desserts very attractively presented and quite good. Service very solid. Like the fact that people also dress nicely for this place and not like they just got out of the gym. Look forward to going back.

Service was great. Ordered $87 bone in prime ribeye. Terrible. I question that it was really prime meat. Tasted like a USDA Choice T-bone. Ordered medium came to me rare, the waiter even said that’s rare, NBD Just sent back and recooked. But it was either a bad cut or not prime meat. I eat prime often and know better.,. Sadly with price they charge the food needs to be much better. Will not be back.

Good food service was OK. Our waiter greeted us and appetizers came out quick. Then there was about a 25 minute lag time before our waiter took our order. This might have been a one time occurrence as Birks is usually “on it”….Overall, a good place to eat.
