Very delicious blackened ribeye, incredibly tender and juicy. The calamari was delicious, and the servers were very friendly.

Excellent service from waiters and house staff. Food was top notch and didn't disappoint, the blackened ribeye was delicious and well cut/prepared perfectly.

Just a great experience from the moment we went thru the door until we left. Great service, food was incredible. Smoked prime rib had such an awesome Smokey taste. Well done!!!!

Bustling spot for work groups. Old school decor and menu, friendly and attentive service. Our waiter and busser were both excellent. Food was good, especially the steak.

Food was great but there were 3 smash and grabs in the parking lot-so we were worried about our car! Will think about driving there in the future!!

Charge for still water $11 per liter and never tell you about it. $22 shows up on the bill. Dishonest.

The Holiday continues with seasons greetings at Birk's. The evening food and drinks were excellent as usual. Their pork chop is one of the best in the Bay Area and all of the other entrees were well prepared. It will continue to be a favorite during the Holidays and throughout the year!
Went on Thanksgiving Day , we ordered cocktails Aged Tropic Old Fashioned and Whistlepig Barrel Aged Smoked Old Fashioned. Both drinks were amazing but the Whistlepig Old Fashioned is the best. Tried the Chipotle Steak Bits and Crab Croquettes very tasty. The set Thanksgiving menu was fabulous. (Key lime pie❤️)So far the best as for Going out on Thanksgiving. I will definitely be back to try their steaks and seafood platter hope it doesn't disappoint. Thanks to the amazing Chef and staff who worked on Thanksgiving holiday !

They were able to seat a table of five where we could talk and enjoy the food and beverages. Server was attentive and service was great. Steaks came out juicy and tasty. Clam chowder was really really good. Ambiance and staff really make this a go to spot.

We were with a larger group for a business lunch at Birk’s Restaurant and had a fantastic evening. Already the starters – scampis and a mixed selection – were excellent and a perfect introduction. The steaks for which the restaurant is famous in the region have fully met these expectations: perfectly cooked, aromatic and of the best quality. The side dishes were also particularly convincing: whether creamy truffle potato mash or fresh leaf spinach – both were exceptionally good and harmonised great with the main courses. A real highlight for me was the dessert: a crème brûlée decorated with fresh fruit. As a big fan of this French classic, I was impressed to get such a high-quality variant in San Jose – almost like being in France itself. A wonderful conclusion to an all-round successful meal. We also enjoyed the wine selection, exclusively local from the Napa Valley. Of course, prices are at an upscale level, but quality and service fully justify this. Our entire group was extremely satisfied. We will definitely be back!

My hubby and I had such a wonderful meal at Birk's that we were already talking about our next visit. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed like old friends and seated right away at a very comfortable table. Our server Hannah was an absolute gem. She was warm, attentive, and somehow always appeared at the exact moment we needed something. Her team was just as great and present when needed without ever hovering. I ordered the small filet with a lobster tail and it came with perfectly cooked broccolini and dreamy mashed potatoes. Every bite was delicious. My hubby ordered the seafood pasta and this is where the magic happened. There was no cream sauce pasta on the menu, but when he asked, Hannah checked with the chef who happily created one just for him. It was so thoughtful and the dish turned out fabulous. He also loved his IPA and we finished with a little Key lime tart that was spot on. Since we were celebrating a special occasion, the staff surprised us with a slice of cheesecake. We were so full that we brought it home, but the gesture made our day. Everything from the service to the food to the warm atmosphere was wonderful. There is plenty of parking, although there is a sign reminding guests not to leave valuables in the car. Wise words in any parking lot. We will definitely be back.

I had made a couple of special requests as I usually do regarding table & server preference. Upon arriving I the hostess started to direct us to an unrequested area until a server who knows us told her our preference. After being seated a server approached us but was not the one we requested. She was very gracious about switching which was very much appreciated. None of this is a really huge deal except that our requests are normally granted without issue. The rest of the evening went very well as dinner and the service was excellent.
Tasty steak. 3.5 stars.
