Fantastic food and the cornmeal ice cream was one of the best desserts I have had. Our server was okay and that was the issue. The wine, the food, and the ambiance were superior and an okay server sticks out more in a place like this....cannot recommend Birch enough.

Our server Lola was wonderful. Food was flavorful and delicious. Personalized birthday card on the table prior to us being seated added a special touch. We will definitely be back.

Food was absolutely delicious - incredible, fresh flavors! Great ambiance plus, we did counter seating so entertaining to see the kitchen in action. This continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in Milwaukee!

As usual, we had an amazing experience at Birch. My wife and I sat at the Chef's Counter and had the tasting menu. The food was all incredible, and Chef Zach and Chef Issac (who recently joined the team) took great care of us. It's a true pleasure to be able to watch the entire team work with such precision and turn-out some of the best food in Milwaukee.

We had an extraordinary meal at Birch. The food was delicious. The service was outstanding. We felt cared for and spoiled. We cannot recommend Birch too much. Go eat there. You will be delighted.

Despite arriving after hours, the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, keeping the restaurant open to serve me. They thoughtfully inquired about dietary restrictions, offered beverages, and provided customized menus. The team went above and beyond—allowing me to take food to go and handling the situation with warmth and professionalism. The chef even took the time to explain proper storage and reheating instructions, ensuring my meal would be just as enjoyable later. Their exceptional hospitality and attention to detail made a lasting impression.

Our clinic arranged for us to have dinner here on November 16th and it was amazing. Extremely attentive staff, excellent meal and not one detail was overlooked. Highly recommend. Thank you for a memorable evening!

We loved our food and our server even better! Best service and I loved the chicken and my family loved the walleye
Fantastic food. Great drinks. Better service. I’ve eaten half the menu in the past two days and you can’t go wrong. The steelhead tartare was off the charts and the burger is one of the best things on this planet

We came here for a birthday and let me tell you - It was unforgettable. We sat at the Chef's Counter and they even gave us a birthday card. Super awesome touch. We decided to do the tasting menu and recommend everyone to do the same. The food was absolutely delicious, including the Tartar. There was nothing we ate that I would not order 10 more times. It was amazing to watch the kitchen work. The most organized chaos I have ever witnessed, it was like a perfectly orchestrated performance. Simply beautiful. Everyone in that restaurant was busy doing a task, not limited to serving, stocking plates, putting away clean dishware and making small-talk with the guests. The head chef was amazing to watch and his staff, everyone, responded to his orders. He proved to be the leader with respect and authority. The tasting menu was timed out perfectly. We were able to try the dish, discuss it then witness our next plate be made. This truly was an unforgettable meal and we will be back to taste the next seasonal menu. It is an open fire kitchen, leave the extra sweater at home or the fancy jacket. We live 60 minutes away and plan to make the drive as the menus change. The staff was extremely friendly and even with every seat in the restaurant occupied, we never felt 'forgotten'. The Head Chef brought us out our Minestrone, very cool touch. Go here - then go again - and again.

I will never get enough of Birch. Every experience we have here is absolutely incredible. The staff is amazing, and the food is even better! Can’t wait to come here every season to see how the menu changes with it! We went here for my birthday and it’s always so fun seeing how well they work together!
