Birch's on the Lake Brewhouse & Supperclub

Service was a step ahead! From the moment we walked in and down the stairs we were welcomed and the atmosphere is awesome. We sat right down around a game table with our own fireplace and a beautiful view of the lake. The food was great. The kids had pancakes and a burger, I went in for the halibut tacos and the wife took part of the salmon bowl. All was delicious. We jumped in for the peaches and cream and blood orange beers. Both were very tart, but pleasant.

I enjoyed the atmosphere downstairs in the brewpub. The beer was beer than expected. The beer menu had a reasonable selection to choose from. The food menu is overpriced, and tends to be on the "heavier" side in terms of richness. Sole healthier menu options would be welcomed. The service was friendly and prompt. Prices are slightly high.

So... I was a little disappointed. The view and atmosphere were great. It was honestly a perfect evening to eat outside but the food was medicore. A bit overpriced. My colleague got the tacos - it comes out with 2. I ordered the Tuna bowl. While there were several things in the bowl that have great flavor, there's too many items in it that are bland that it ended up being unbalanced. It was a boring dish. The server was okay, she was kind of rude. We didn't order dessert (but we had a couple beers), and she acted like we didn't order enough. No plans to return.

Had a rough start to our dinner last night, but it was quickly & professionally handled correctly by management and our server. The food & drinks were fabulous & the atmosphere was top notch! I highly recommend the Crab Artichoke Dip app & the Halibut. Our desserts were excellent, we ordered the Crème Brûlée & Pumpkin Cheesecake. Beautiful view of the Lake as well! A must visit restaurant for the Wayzata area :)

Menu is not vegan or vegetarian friendly at all. This is some of those restaurants who are yet to entertain diversity when it comes to food. No consideration for vegetarians or vegans. Thankfully they had 2 options that I could have gone for and I went for the salad on recommends of the server. I checked with my entire party who are not vegetarian and as per them food was Ok. Same with my salad, could have been better. Lot of families were there for dinner which makes it very family friendly. Besides being on the lake, there was nothing unique about the menu or the restaurant. Maybe it would have been 4 stars if I was not a vegetarian. Service: 4 Stars Taste: 3 Stars Ambience: 3 Stars Quantity: 5 Stars Vegan/Veg Options: 1 Star Value for Money: 3 Stars

This is a really nice relaxing place with the best lake view of Long Lake. The food is pretty good too. I haven't had anything I didn't like. They are known for their fried chicken and I don't eat chicken on the bone. Here, I did and a friend said that must be some pretty good fried chicken if you ordered it. It really was good. I also have the mushroom flatbread as well as the prime rib eggs benedict. The people are friendly and it has a "day at the cabin" feel about the place. It's relaxing and it's like you're in the country. Sometimes they have a fire going outdoors. The mac and cheese is really good as well.

We loved the Shrimp & Crab Cake along with the mushroom & truffle flat bread. Would also highly recommend the Artichoke & Crab Dio. The environment is serene with the perfect view of along Lake!!

Have been here several times. Love the atmosphere, especially during the winter months. It's just so cozy and gives off a very zen vibe. This is my absolute favorite restaurant to go to.

Even on a rainy evening, we had a great time. Michelle was so helpful with recommendations & she was spot on. Delicious Manhattans, old fashioneds, & the tasty strawberry French 75. Burnt ends for an appetizer were perfect. Prime Rib, Ahi tuna bowl, fried chicken, & classic bolognese were incredible. My favorite was the key lime pie! Holy moly! The pie itself was tangy & sweet, & the homemade graham cracker crust was ‍

The ambience of Birch's was excellent on a Monday evening with quiet views of the lake. Appetizers Garlic hummus plate had so many delightful things with the whipped feta and grilled veggies. Truffle mushroom pizza was savory and delicious. Entree Walleye was good and tender. Seared Ahi Tuna --the tuna was seared too dry and overall bowl lacked depth and flavor Fish taco-decent but not very complex in flavor. Drinks and cocktails, were delicious!

Came here for a late Wednesday Dinner. The service was fantastic! Very kind & attentive staff. The beer was also great! I was pleasantly surprised by all the ones I tried! Loved the blood orange sour! Love the view too! I got the Arepa salad & was expecting a big bowl salad but it was unfortunately it was a full arepa with a salad garnish. It tasted good but I wish I would have been given a heads up since it didn't feel like much of a full meal! My Nashville hot chicken (added to the salad) was tender but not crispy (likely from the sauce). Someone at our table got the fried chicken bowl & said it was fantastic! The fried chicken dinner plate looked great but the person who had it said it was mediocre. I would definitely come back!! Just would try other menu items.

I was in town for work and we had a group dinner at Birch's. The view or the lake was so pretty and the food and drinks were great! We shared lots of appetizers. I had cucumber mint vodkas and the lobster salad. The service was great and the food came quickly. It was a fun and comfortable experience.

Went here on a Monday afternoon and had a wonderful time! Our server was super attentive and our waters were constantly refilled. We ordered the crab and artichoke dip and it was delicious! I got the chicken tacos which were super flavorful and juicy. The view from the deck was great!

Our PubPass brought us here for the first time. This lovely restaurant provided cozy seating and beautiful views of the lake. Being a supper club, we started with a plate of cheese spread, vinegar cucumbers, potato salad, crackers, and, of course, celery and carrot sticks, all complimentary. I chose their signature salad and it was so good. Fresh veggies. Combination of textures and colors. Husband had their signature fried chicken and the coating and crispness was excellent. It came with Cole slaw and Mac n cheese. All very good. Service was excellent. We had a reservation, although on a Sunday night, there were plenty of openings. Great stop.

Fantastic setting on Long Lake. Large portions that are easily shared. My husband and I had the crusted walleye and we shared a watermelon feta salad. We had a party of 10 people and the server couldn't have been more helpful. We were celebrating a couple of birthdays and he gave us complementary ice cream desserts. I enjoyed that he seemed to really like his job. Looking forward to returning.

What a gem on Long Lake! Living in the western suburbs, this is about to become a regular spot for us. This brewery/supperclub on the lake has a beautiful up-scale patio, perfect for a sunny day. Service and seating was quick on the first 80 degree day of the year. Even more of a plus is that they're included on the pub pass! I love that they offer beer and mixed drinks, I opted for the cranberry spritz - cranberry vodka, prosecco, aperol and orange. So refreshing and a large glass. We started with the hot crab and artichoke dip, this was delicious and felt so coastal for the nice day. It was creamy and rich without being overpowering. Even better was the server kept bringing out more bread as we ran out! All of the lunch options looked delicious, but I went with the gatherer salad. This is a creamy green goddess salad that I really enjoyed and cooled me off! I wish there were a couple of stronger flavors in here, but nothing wrong with it - I polished off my plate! You will definitely catch me here this summer out on the patio!

We stopped by Birch's for a birthday reservation, drawn by the lovely views. We ordered the Friday King's and Queen's prime rib cuts and the steak frites. While the prime rib was good, the baked potato sides were undercooked and served with the wrong topping--loaded with horseradish and no butter. The replacement potato was also undercooked and crumbled apart. Despite informing the waiter that we were celebrating a birthday, he only checked on us near the end of our meal to see how things were and to bring the bill. He never asked if we wanted more drinks or offered the dessert menu. When I requested the dessert menu, he seemed to forget and brought the bill instead. Overall, we found the service and quality to be overrated, especially considering we spent over $250 for three people.

Wow! We went here at the recommendation of a friend to celebrate my birthday...and it was so good that we went back a month later for more! My partner is a chef and ordered the jumbo scallops and grits, and said it was one of the best dishes he's ever had. I really enjoyed the walleye, and their whipped potatoes were to die for. The best part? Our server from our first visit, remembered us when we came back. It was like walking into "cheers", but more high end great service, awesome food, amazing and peaceful view!

If you are looking for a great dining experience or a cocktail with a view. This is your spot! We have come here a few times over the years, and it never gets old great service, great food! They often have live music as well as water activities happening year round. They have a private parking lot with lots of space. This is a great spot that has a more elevated brewery vibe as it is a supperclub upstairs as well. Great spot to get out of the city!

My wife and I were on our new restaurant Saturday lunch date. We have always wanted to try Birch's, but it was always out of our price range. My wife saw that their lunch was on restaurant week and they had my favorite sandwich, the Cuban. It came with sauteed calamari for $30 and they have happy hour in the bar all day Saturday! Cool. $5 beers, I ordered the Hazy IPA, which was really good. We ordered a $13 lamb flatbread off of the happy hour menu and it was way too sweet for me for some reason, not sure if I missed some ingredient in the menu description, but it tasted like pizza candy. Just not my favorite. Our bartender was cool and refreshed our waters a lot and the Cuban was AMAZING! The calamari was super full of tentacles and the bread was fantastic and almost a meal in itself. Really good place to go to see the fall colors, but we sat down with a view in the brewery and made us go to the bar to get the happy hour pricing.

First the good: The setting is great and they've done a great job ensuring everyone has good views. We were on the deck and it was very nice. The food and drinks were also pretty good overall. We needed to eat gluten free and there were a lot of options. The server also seemed knowledgeable about the options. The lobster smash burger was great, the shrimp and crab cake was very good, and cocktails were pretty tasty. Now for the not so good: We had 3 people order the frozen peach margarita to start. It was $15, but came in a small plastic cup and the cup was probably a third of the way filled with full ice cubes for all 3 of us like they used them as filler. We ordered the shrimp and crab cake to come out as an appetizer, but it didn't come and we asked about it when the food came out. Ended up coming out well after we all finished eating and had asked a couple more times about it. I ordered the steak frites cooked medium. It came out medium rare and was even marked as medium rare. When I asked about it our server said they'd re-cook it. What I got back was my original meal moved to a new plate that had been put under a heater until the steak was well done. None of these is huge on its own, but seems like some poor management and prioritizing cost savings at the expense of their customer. Pricing wasn't terrible, but I do think you're paying some for the lakefront dining, which is to be expected. The food was good enough and the setting was great that I'd probably give them another try, but I don't think I would for a lot of restaurants that didn't have the same setting based on their customer service.

Food was really good Service was great Ambiance and vibe is just phenominal Patio is amazing and I am so glad the weather was great today for it. I enjoyed every minute of it

Excellent place for beer and lakefront patio hangs! We love their happy hour in the fire pit area is so nice! The staff is great and super friendly. Very nice inside! When we go for dinner it can be a little hit or miss depending on the dish that you order and possibly based on how busy they are, so that's why I'm giving it four stars.

What a view!!! Honestly, I'm in love with so many aspects of this restaurant. The hiccups we encountered surely didn't put a dent in what we had. Let's get started on how our late lunch/early dinner went. I have 2 children, one of them only 2 months old. I've never been here, so I brought a stroller. Word tot he wise, don't do it lol. This restaurant has many levels, but they do have an elevator if you make the same mistake I made. The hostess was incredible and walked us through many different spots to get to the elevator, then the ramp to outside, moving trash cans and chairs for my boat of a stroller to make it. I wish o got her name, but she was as so sweet. We sat outside and it was raining, which was epic for the views of the beautiful lake. Cocktails were really cocktails, not weak drinks you can't taste alcohol. The Birches Martini was perfectly sweet, sour, and balanced. I'd order that again for sure. All of the food was good, but the temperature of the food could use some improvement as many items that weee meant to be hot were cold. Luckily, none of the very important items lol. I'll share pics of all the good food!

Had a fantastic anniversary dinner at Birch's this year. You arrive to a MN fire pit and the smell of wood and enter a two level establishment that has a killer bar and patio on the bottom level and a supper club up top. We ate up top with a great view of the Lake and enjoyed Walleye, Cod, a spicy chicken sandwich and a variety of sides. The staff was great and it's such a relaxing vibe. They have boat up access and a group patio on the side which would be a fun place for a birthday.... Really good celebration and time with our family

Been here three times so far with seating on patio. Each time we're given water immediately but it's taken the server 10 to 15 minutes to get to my table for drinks or appetizers. They will walk by not greet or say ' be with you shortly' . Visited 2-3 pm weekdays each time so never busy. Today with it being very slow and tired of this happening the prior two times previously we left.

Fine food. Super over priced menu items. Got two tacos for $22. And the fried chicken bowl had 5 small pieces of chicken. Wished it was better but service was excellent

We love Birch's! They have something for everyone on the menu and a lot more interesting of options than your typical restaurant on the lake. More American New than traditional. Fun spot for drinks and cheese curds on a warm day or having a full meal. The indoor bar and setup is also very cool and a little more modern. We wish there was a location on Lake Harriet ;) Definitely a staple for where we bring guests, too!

Food was basic nothing to brag about, however after we ordered and had our food and drinks served we never saw the waiter again. I assume his shift was over but nevertheless we were left unattended and when we finished dinner I had to walk by the cash register to ask for the bill. No big deal we got the bill but i refuse to leave a tip due to not having a waiter check on us if we needed anything or if we were doing ok. So yes i put down 0 zero for tip and when i got my credit card statement I noticed that THE RESTAURANT TIPPED THEMSELVES ANYWAY. I decided not to dispute it with my credit card company since it's only $20 bucks but i will never come back to this place or recommend anyone to eat here. Also it's illegal to alter a customer's receipt. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

The waiter was very kind and was a patient server. The beers were decent, especially one of the IPA's. I ordered the grouper and asked what the succotash was served with it. I was told a tomato puree, so I ordered it. That was incorrect. It was on potatoes, also served with either skin or brown stuff on the bottom. I'm eating very low carb, so I was irritated that I had to wipe away the potatoes and try and dig out the vegetables. I wasn't a fan of the piece of grouper that I was served. My brother ordered the lamb flatbread. That was delicious!

The food and beer here are both amazing and it is always a pleasure to have dinner here as service is great as well. We went for restaurant week and my girlfriend got the lobster risotto, which isn't on the regular menu, and enjoyed it. She said that it was a little more brothy than some risotto, and had great flavor. I had the walleye sandwich, which came with a mountain of fries that were nice and salty. The sandwich itself wasn't salty or anything like that. It was tender and flaky with nice crunch on it. The beer is great. A smooth cherry chocolate stout that was sweet and delicious!

Happy Valentine's Day! Saturday night I ordered the Seared Diver Scallops from their Valentine's menu and it was amazing! So many great flavors came from this dish. Herb polenta, smoked bacon, blistered heirloom tomatoes and brown butter-oof kill me now! We also enjoyed the hot crab & artichoke dip (order more toasted bread right away) and the brussels sprouts were also very flavorful. I love, love dim lighting for ambiance while dinning...but good gosh they lowered the lights so much that it was even dark for me which is hard to achieve. I couldn't read the menu and couldn't see my food. Guess I'm just getting old!

I've enjoyed every visit. We've been for brunch, Christmas with Santa event and date night on the patio. Birch's does a great job offering different events and activities, check out the website they always have something going on. The space is large, restaurant upstairs more casual brewery down stairs. Kind of cool having a couple options depending on the wait or what you're on the mood for. The specials and entrees are always on point. Parm crusted walleye has to be one of my favorite. They cook a mean steak too, I've tried the filet and prime rib. Burgers and sandwiches are good, if you're looking for a more affordable option. Parking lot stinks, it fills up quick and I swear either the stalls are more narrow or people forget how to park straight. There was complimentary valet on my last visit, not sure if that's weekends only.

It was super busy when we went so you might want to get reservations. We ended up having to add a person and they were able to make it work despite how busy it was. There is a really cool patio as well as a nice inside with great views out over the lake. The food was all good as well but different from the classic super club food.

Had a couple great beers and mixed drinks before heading elsewhere for dinner. We've always really enjoyed the taproom space and the beers are better than I expect from a brewery/restaurant, but their coffee golden ale has always bern a homerun. One note from tonight's visit...the blonde server/manager in the taproom was the list person in a packed restaurant on s Saturday night. There's enough ambient noise already without one employee thinking it's a competition.

Fast service, good food, and good location to watch the sunset! The portions are big so you get good value for your money. The noise level is a little high so not too conducive to conversation in the evening when they have a band but otherwise a good place to try. They have a full bar, that at least will make most people happy

Menu is not vegan or vegetarian friendly at all. This is some of those restaurants who are yet to entertain diversity when it comes to food. No consideration for vegetarians or vegans. Thankfully they had 2 options that I could have gone for and I went for the salad on recommends of the server. I checked with my entire party who are not vegetarian and as per them food was Ok. Same with my salad, could have been better. Lot of families were there for dinner which makes it very family friendly. Besides being on the lake, there was nothing unique about the menu or the restaurant. Maybe it would have been 4 stars if I was not a vegetarian.

This place has been on my list for a bit now since moving to the west side of the Cities. I haven't gotten a chance to spend time on Long Lake, but it's so beautiful. Our waitress was so nice and gave great recommendations with our meals. We got oysters and cheese curds to start - really really good cheese curds! I got the grilled salmon bowl for myself and loved the poké bowl style of it. There wasn't very much quinoa but lots of yummy edamame, yum yum sauce, and carrots. The salmon was over cooked and dry which was a shame. It would've been so amazing with a flaky salmon. I did like the bowl, but would probably opt for a different entree next time! The restaurant was a bit loud so it was tough to hear friends over dinner, but it was a nice view. Food was okay and ambience was okay hence the three stars.

Came here on the Saturday before Halloween; had never been here before; the view was amazing over looking the lake; the bartender was super attentive with a great sense of humor; all the staff were dressed up in costumes and in good spirits interacting with guests; the flatbread, wings, and cocktails were super delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant and my husband and I will keep coming back.

I came here for a special occasion dining experience. If you are able to score a seat near the window, the view is outstanding (especially in the summer months). The server was attentive. For the price, the food was OK, but not a meal I'd be dreaming about repeating. This place is popular and packed. I wouldn't recommend coming without a reservation.

Great, friendly, and helpful staff. I was there for a work dinner and our two servers were just wonderful helping our whole group even though I'm sure it's intense to get such a big party. Beautiful lower level that has a pergola and outdoor fireplace area all overlooking the beautiful lake. Nice wraparound bar and there's a lovely full restaurant upstairs with booths and big windows that overlook the lake. I haven't even gotten to the delicious food and drinks! I tried all their ciders and they were so good, the filet mignon was cooked perfectly, the appetizers were unique and tasty. Overall would love to come back!

Beautiful location, great view of the lake. Excellent patio in the summer. Good food and excellent service. Brewery downstairs is less Formal, upstairs is classier, but Minnesota dressy casual.

We went to Birch's at about 3:30 pm on a beautiful, sunny, warm, Spring Friday; their patio opens at 3 pm so this was a calculated move. When we arrived, there was plenty of seating and the patio was still "Seat Yourself". The patio seating started to fill up around 4:00-4;15 pm, so plan accordingly! We were able to get a seat along the railing to get the best views of the water. It took about 15 minutes for a waitress to help us out, but they were working nonstop so it was easily forgiven, especially with the beautiful sunshine. We ordered a bottle of rose, 12 oysters, and calamari. Our wine arrived cold - a bottle of Champs de Provence for $46? We won't complain. The calamari arrived soon after and was really good. We had a few chewy pieces and the spices on the breading were a little heavy, but overall it was a good dish. The oysters were impressively prepared. We ate 11 of them with no shells and all of the oysters were removed from the shell, a detail often overlooked at even the best restaurants. They were served with cocktail sauce with horseradish mixed in and a mignonette. One oyster had a really yellow brine that we weren't willing to try, but the other eleven were refreshing and satisfying. We switched to a Prosecco after our rose and we weren't overly impressed, but overall it was a great experience for our first patio of the season. We will certainly be back!

The charcuterie board was different from what I'm used. The service was fantastic and the ambiance was beautiful.

Great place for Sunday brunch.. Wide selection of options both for breakfast and lunch.. I'd say definitely sit on the deck if the weather allows it.. Service, wonderfully friendly and helpful. Our waitress gave us a great recommendation from the menu and kept our drinks coming which was great Ambience, food and service give this experience a 8/10 for me

The view is everything! We ordered Mother's Day to go during the pandemic-it was excellent!! So we tried to go there this Mother's Day, but we're too early and they weren't serving any food yet so we left. A friend and I went for a weeknight dinner so I could finally eat there in person. I got the New England lobstah roll. It was ok. The crinkle cut fries were yum! She got the broiled walleye. Looked amazing! The snax were fun! Pickled beets, hard boiled egg with herring?, and white beans. I need to go back & try more items. That to go brunch was amazing & tough to top.

We have enjoyed many wonderful evenings at Birch's - in the supperclub, on the deck and at the brewhouse. But, the last two visits have been disappointing . The food has become overpriced and underwhelming. The service also seems to be declining . At our last visit it took nearly 10 minutes for a bartender to acknowledge us, and there were only 2 other people at the bar. We had to make an extra effort each time we wanted to order something. The final straw came when we asked for the dessert menu and saw that a piece of cheesecake was $18.00 - twice as much as what's being charged at other quality west metro restaurants. I hope it's just a phase. . .

This may be one of the most stereotypical restaurants you'd think MN would have (in a good way)! You get to eat at a restaurant with a view of the lake, and there are lots of MN foods on the menu. I ordered the Walleye Benedict and it was DELICIOUS! It's similar to a crab cake but more ~Minnesotan~. The arugula on the side was a nice touch and the egg was cooked very well. I highly recommend this dish and would order it again for brunch. Love being able to order Walleye whenever I'm in town. I also ordered a Blood Orange Beermosa, which included my love of my favorite 2 drinks - beer and mimosa. My fiancée's stepdad also ordered the blonde ale and has been there multiple times and enjoyed it. Him and my fiancée's mother go here a lot and have liked many of their cocktails/beers. Only complaint was that I did get sunburnt...but that's not the restaurant's fault that I'm a red headed Minnesotan who isn't used to the sun. The restaurant also has stairs that go down to the lake, and a bean bag toss section. Very fun venue overall!

Came for the views over the food. Large dining establishment on the lake, and we came for an early dinner on Sunday to nab a table outside on the deck. Was a little bit of a bummer as Happy Hour was at the bar inside only. Our table was in the sun, so as soon as the table beside us left, we switched. Caused some confusion with the busser as he kept bringing our dishes to our old table. Started with their own blonde ale, and appreciate they offer different sizes to taste. I also had their grapefruit aperol spritz and it was quite strong! Could not finish it, which is not normal for me! We started with the mexican street corn casserole as it was interesting, and for the amount of dip they give, do wish they gave more tortilla chips with it. It was ooey gooey and delicious, and appreciated them giving cilantro on the side as I cannot stand it. We ordered their house specialities, Wisconsin fish fry for me, fried chicken and BBQ rib combo for my friend. Both were large dishes and pretty tasty. It was a bit hard to enjoy our food with bees swarming our tables, and though the view was nice, regretted not sitting inside to enjoy the views bees free. Our server was a bit MIA at times, but overall, it was a decent place to try.

We came across this spot via Instagram and signed up for the "sled dogs" event, I usually am not one to read the fine print (I know don't judge) so I didn't know what to expect besides what I envisioned dog sledding to be (a long excursion through the trails etc) and buffet brunch. Upon arrival we didn't know where the host stand was, finally asked someone after standing around like goofballs. We figured we should eat before our excursion so we arrived early and she advised we ride first seeing no one was in line. It seemed as though the timings played no part in this event. I asked how long the ride was and she said "2 minutes- it's like Disney land" so we rode before eating to kill time seeing there were no tables available. Although we just went in circles a couple times the dog sledding was cool! We then came inside and waited for a table I'm not sure they were prepared for the amount of people or if they were short staffed but service was poor. She directed us to a dirty table and we stood there waiting for it to be cleaned and just decided to do it myself, then we waited some more no one came so we got up to get our food, the buffet was a mess! No plates no silverware food everywhere, if I hadn't paid already I would've left to be honest but to my surprise all of the food was really good. We waited for silverware and finally the waitress came to take our drink order, service was slow and underwhelming. Overall the experience was just fine but I wasn't blown away.

Great food, great beer, and arguably one the nicest patios in the cities. Birch's on the Lake has it all. I can't help but compare them to a mullet. Sounds weird right? Well let me explain. Birch's really is two restaurants in one. Upstairs is a gorgeous and classy supper club (business in the front) and downstairs is a pub style brew house (party in the back). Both offering up breathtaking views of Long Lake. I have visited Birch's countless times and I have never had a bad experience or even a subpar experience. It is always great. I will start with the beer. The Coffee Chocolate Golden Ale is THE BEST golden coffee ale in MN in my opinion. They also offer up a rotating menu of IPAs, stouts and sours. As far as food goes. Whatever it is you are looking at on the menu just go ahead and get it. You won't be disappointed. I'm personally a huge fan of the wings, fried chicken sandwich, Birch burger and new to the menu Brisket Gilled Cheese.

We went here on a Saturday evening and they were able to accommodate 9 of us with a reservation. They were pretty busy, but despite this, we were able to talk and visit without too much trouble, as some places have loud music or a setup that doesn't work well with larger groups. The drinks were tasty and the food was good. I enjoyed the BBQ brisket, my only complaint was that it could use more sauce, so I kindly asked for a bit on the side. I will definitely be back, hopefully to sit on their patio!

Great view of long lake, fantastic service and te the food is NOT AVERAGE! Outstanding, delicious, presentation is ver nice. Love coming here it's always wonderful! I never feel like I'm in Minnesota ( no offense). The ceviche was AMAZING! Fresh and delicious as if we were near the Bay Area or the Caribbean!

Amazing view. Great place to chill (breakfast, brunch, dinner or even just to seat at the bar )and enjoy the gorgeous sight of the lake

Service was good. Ambience is okay...has a nice view and we unfortunately couldn't get seated outside. Food was really subpar. I wouldn't come for dinner.

Love Birch's view and the food. Service can be iffy during busy hours. I recommend a reservation for brunch and dinner. The basement is great for HH.

One of the best spots for a date night or hosting a large party. Have been here dozens of times and every time have had amazing service, food, and always love the ambiance.

We were here with family. We waited about 20 minutes for the valet. We finally gave up and found a parking place. My wife ordered the Hangar Steak. The steak was the toughest steak she has ever had. One of our relatives is a meat cutter. He tried to cut her steak and had a hard time. One of our relatives also had the Hangar steak and his was also tough.
