We had a lovely evening. Isabella is a great server (request her!) and we felt welcomed as longtime repeat customers. A wonderful spot on Beach Drive!

Food was very mediocre and not worth the price. Maybe a random Wednesday isn't the best choice, they weren't busy at all so maybe the kitchen was off their game. Wedge salad was good but the crab cakes were dry and the gnocchi were blah. The mushrooms were the best part of the dish.

The service was wonderful, Michelle was our waitress, and she was outstanding, attentive and informative.

Our evening at Birch and Vine was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Our server, Isabella, is an absolute sweetheart with a genuine heart for hospitality. Her service was warm, welcoming and impeccable. Chef Lee and his team prepared an excellent meal. We will most certainly return, and we look forward to sharing experiences and making memories while dining with you all.

Four of us had a lovely brunch. We enjoyed the appetizers of cheese, bread and fish spread. Then we had the trio of Benedict- short rib, salmon and traditional. We also had a serving of the lamb has which was fabulous! I almost forgot— mushroom soup is exceptional! For dessert we had the guava cheesecake and a slice of the chocolate cake with ice cream. Our server, Javier, was attentive. The dishes and drinks came at the right time and no rush. ,

We are visiting St. Pete and chose Birch & Vine for a nice dinner out. Thrilled with our choice! Really enjoyed the experience from beginning to end. Cocktails were perfectly crafted, the Focaccia bread was warm and outstanding, as were the salads. Our entrees were incredible. We had the filet and Forager's Pasta. The filet was cooked to perfection and the gnocchi was melt in your mouth. Our booth was comfortable and private and our server was above 5 stars. Michelle was kind, attentive and had great suggestions. She was also friendly and enjoyable to talk with. Highly recommend for a great dinner experience in St. Pete!

Unfortunately, the quality of the food was disappointing, and there is a very limited menu. Add the fact that they immediately hit you with the "there is an automatic 20% service charge, and we encourage you to leave a tip if you have good service". Not only do they disclose this but also explain that their service providers share a percentage of the total bill. In other words, they try to sell more items. This is bad enough when I have to get my oil changed but even worse when we are trying to have a nice evening out, pay $110 on a salad, a hamburger, an extremely average chicken dish, one side with NO drinks. Overall, it was not what we expected.

The steak tasted really good, unique even. The forager's pasta was my favorite. it had gnocchi and parmesan well prepared mushrooms. I took my mom and family here for a milestone birthday. She loved the smoked fish spread, we all tried it and we agree it was very flavorful. Note that the mushrooms in the forager pasta are not the same ones on the truffle burger. The french fries were some of the best I've had, perhaps they were prepared with a special oil. There was a beetroot salad I thought I would like as all the ingredients like quinoa looked good, but wasn't fond of; though the cashews in it were good. I didn't mind the 20% automatic gratuity because the service was up to par. Francesa our hostess was friendly and welcome over the phone and in person. Katelynn our server went above and beyond taking pictures for us and singing happy birthday to my mom so that was a nice gesture, and she was patient with all our indecisiveness. It was drizzling so we didn't get to sit outside, but the inside had its own rightful ambiance. The dining area looked larger in the pictures online, but it was cozy, with a decorative display of shelved wine bottles. My aunt loved her truffle burger, and she doesn't eat burgers! The halved chicken was really juicy, and well seasoned so you gotta eat the skin with the white meat together. All in all it was a good experience and I'm really grateful that my mother was satisfied seeing as how it took me forever to find a restaurant I deemed worthy of her big day.

We are regulars there. Tuesday's 1/2 off bottles of wine and Apps. Can't beat the value. Great desserts too! While the food snd atmosphere are always good, Isabella our server made our day. It's not often we see a kind, engaging, professional who is truly genuine. Multiple places to sit inside and out. Outside is dog friendly.

We chose this restaurant for our wedding anniversary and had a wonderful experience. Excellent, personalized service from our lovely server Tawnya and delicious food. 10/10, can't wait to come back next time we visit St. Petersburg!
Absolutely wonderful! It was girl's night out and decided to try their Tasting Tuesdays. Half of appetizers! One of my friends got the Pour and Explore and what a fun experience with the different wines. I got the Caprese salad and loved the difference with using blackberries. We decided to sit on the patio and it was very comfortable with the fans. We will definitely be back and can't wait to try other options!

My husband and I had dinner there on June 13. Server was super nice but the food was god awful. We ordered the crab cakes.... Soggiest things we've ever eaten and the salmon was way undercooked. I do not recommend that this place. We actually were lucky enough that Ceviche had room and saved our anniversary dinner.
Virginia
I had a very disappointing experience. The chicken was undercooked and had visible traces of blood, which is unacceptable. The risotto was overwhelmingly spicy and lacked balance in flavor. Unfortunately, I ended up with stomach pain afterward. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and improves food quality.

Our dinner was simply outstanding! We had the early bird dinner and it was top notch, with beautiful choices of proteins and sides. What a great deal for a well priced 3 course meal. Our server Tanya made our meal even more special with thoughtful seamless service. And we were able to attend our evening event on time! This is a Wonderful option if you are going to the Duke Energy center later!

There’s some new law where they’re getting away with paying their employees a dollar an hour. That 20% isn’t going to the employees. Greed greed and more greed!
