    The service on 9/24 was not stellar. Took a good 20 minutes once our last guest arrived at the table for the wait staff to take our order even though we didn't order appetizes and/drinks (alcohol). Did not ask if any of us dine before to high light any of the specialties. Never asked how the steaks were prepared as my mine was well done vs medium well (little pink). The wait staff seems to be emotionless and perhaps was a bad night for him.

    Service was not up to standard for Birk’s. Waiter did not seem to care about our order. Took more than 15 minutes to get drinks after order was placed and then it was incorrect. Food order was also incorrect and had to be taken back for correction. Steak was undercooked.

    The food was good, I was just expecting more. It seems like they are use to big parties, and people with big money. When a regular Joe shows up, they get regular service or the bare minimum. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back.

    I normally do not engage in the surveys; however, after spending $1000.00 for a lunch party of 11 I was so disappointed at our server, yelling at me, rude to 4 of my clients I am not sure I will come back. The server was the only reason I had a bad experience- he was rushed, curt and not responsive on drink refills nor relating to his customer at the table.

    One of the best and classiest restaurants in the area. Service is always exceptional. Prime steaks and prime rib are hard to beat. Even their creamed spinach is wonderful. Classy bar area. Place gets noisy on busy business group nights. Outdoor area is typically windy in the afternoon and evening hours, so come prepared.

    Delicious Prime Rib and Filet. Only disappointment: When I made the reservation, I noted that it was our anniversary. They brought out a dessert that said happy birthday with a candle, nice - but wrong occasion.

    I was very disappointed in Birks because they decided to hustle customers by canceling happy hour due to the Beyonce concert. I was looking forward to spending time at this restaurant and the whole experience was tainted by their manipulative business practices. They did not advertise happy hour being canceled on any social media platforms. The hotel I was staying at actually had drink and food specials due to the Beyonce concert and my guest and I would have stayed there to eat and drink if we had of known in advance Birks canceled happy hour. I spoke to a manager and they didn’t seem to care the simply said they understood my concern and was dismissive.

    Birks is great venue for good food, including high quality steaks and fresh seafood. It offers a good selection of sides and has a knowledgeable bartender crew. The servers are fast, friendly and knowledgeable. Very good atmosphere for business, family or a date!

    The hostess was polite and understood 1/2 of my party was running late. I enjoyed a glass of wine while I waited for them. The waiter explained the menu steak sizes, which were tender and cooked perfectly. The downside was we left at the same time as the 49er game ended. Traffic was bad

    Both steaks and primerib need some seasoning as it was a bit bland when it was served. Brussel sprouts was prepared well,still crunchy when serve on our table. Would recommend the sides were put on separate plates to savor the main entree.
