    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.

It’s clear that Birk’s values its long-time customers and stands behind the outstanding hospitality and service that have made it a favorite for both our professional gatherings and personal occasions.

    We hosted an important dinner party for 12 at Birk's on Saturday evening. Robert, the General Manager, took special care to oversee our event and made sure everything ran smoothly. Dennis, our server, was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept all our guests happy. Our busser Yovanny kept everything neat and tidy. And Andrew (another server) got a fantastic picture of our whole group - with everyone smiling! The food was excellent, as always. Birk's is the best!

    Birk’s never disappointed. My wife and I enjoyed a perfectly cooked New York steak. Also love the clam chowder!

    Exceptional Dining Experience – A True Silicon Valley Gem Birk’s continues to be one of the most consistently excellent restaurants in the South Bay. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality, a lively yet polished atmosphere, and the unmistakable aroma of expertly prepared steaks and seafood. On our recent visit, everything—from service to presentation—was spot on. The staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. We started with the Dungeness crab cakes and the ahi tuna tartare—both fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. For mains, the prime rib was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and rich with flavor—while the cedar plank salmon had a subtle smokiness that brought it to another level. The wine list is well-curated with a solid mix of local and international selections, and our server’s pairing suggestions were excellent. Even the sides were memorable—the truffle fries and sautéed spinach were particular standouts. Dessert (yes, we made room) was a decadent chocolate torte that rounded out the evening perfectly. Whether you're dining with colleagues, celebrating a special occasion, or simply treating yourself to a great meal, Birk’s delivers every time. Highly recommend making a reservation—this place is popular for good reason. Can’t wait to return!

    The food is always good, as is the service. One of my favorite places for higher-end dinner.
