Birk's

Been here many many times whenever we crave steaks. This restaurant is tucked in the office buildings. Parking lot is at the back of the building. Every time when we come, we ask for Dennis. He's the best server you can ever get. He's friendly, polite and proactive. Sometimes I don't have to ask for refills, he already is ahead of the game and bring me my drink or whatever I was about to ask for. I don't come without him serving us. To start, theeir bread is very good. It comes out hot and soft. We can't stop eating it before our meals. Their appetizers are good too. We usually get their olive oil poached shrimps and fried calamari. You don't see the olive oil poached shrimps any other places and they're good. Their wood smoked prime rib is the bomb! They used to only serve this during the weekend awhile back. (We had come before during the weekend and was disappointed it got sold out). Now they have this daily. If it's your first time here, you gotta try their prime rib. You can taste the smoked flavor and it's not over-powering. It tastes much better than a regular prime rib you get elsewhere. Their steaks are excellent too. We usually get the filet mignon and the ribeye. They look it very well and it comes with 2 sides. Their pork chop is awesome, so is their sea bass and salmon. You just got to come and try them all. Now comes to the desserts. Their cheesecake is surprisingly good. It's light and fluffy. We really enjoyed it They also have private rooms for booking for gatherings or events. We booked one of their private rooms for family event before and got to customize the menu with the help of Robert (manager). Come support this local business that serve awesome food and services. You won't be disappointed.

Birk’s was pretty good overall. We started with the wedge salad, which was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was very upscale with white tablecloths, super clean and appealing. My fries were phenomenal, and my dad said his sandwich and potato wedges were a solid 10/10. Unfortunately, my aunt and I both got the burger and it was disappointing, too much bread, and the beef patty was huge but had almost no flavor. That said, we still enjoyed the experience, and what you order can really make or break it. P.S. You need a reservation

The service was awesome. Our server was on top of everything. Refilled our water. Recommend food. The tomahawk was so good! The dessert sampler was really good. We enjoyed ourselves immensely.

We had such a lovely experience here. We don’t drink alcohol and decided to share a meal, and the staff handled everything with such kindness and ease. They even offered to split the dish for us, which immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable. We ordered the bone marrow and the 16 oz steak cooked medium rare, and the steak was absolutely perfect. The portions were very generous. My wife was full after just a few bites, and I was completely stuffed by the end. What really stood out was the care and warmth from the team, including the manager. A small dessert with a candle was brought out at the end, which was such a kind and memorable gesture. It wasn’t about the dessert itself, but the thought behind it. We left feeling great and truly appreciated. Excellent food, generous portions, and exceptional hospitality.

It was a dinner with leadership of the company, fantastic atmosphere, we ordered the appetizer sampler having Chipotle steak bits, fried calamari, blackened garlic fries, in main course, it was marys chicken, pork chops and 8oz Filet Mignon, all well cooked and delicious. I will suggest make reservation and then go. Its the hidden gem of Santa Clara and must order the dessart sampler.

The food was not bad but the steak was slightly overcooked and the lobster was perfect on an order of steak and lobster. Also ordered a chowder that never came. There is plenty of parking and this restaurant is easy to find, but it's kind of tucked away in the middle of a random business park. I don't think I'll be back especially given the price.

I was treated for my Birthday. But Just coming in through the entrance we were greeted. They walked us to the our table and waited for us to sit down. Everyone was very friendly as well. I ordered the Tomahawk, it wasn't on the menu but, they offered it and other items as well.

We had a marvelous lunch, mother and daughter time sitting on the outdoor patio of Birk's restaurant. The outstanding service and scrumptious food added to our luncheon time. My mom enjoyed a hot chocolate along with the chicken cordon bleu sandwich. I had the Chinese chicken salad with salmon and my sister enjoyed the prime rib special. The dessert menu called us, we splurged and had the chocolate chip ice cream along with the creme brulee. Susie our waitress was wonderful!

The dinning experience was great! The food amazing and appreciate the friendly service.

First time trying this Steakhouse and have to say enjoyed it from the moment walked in until the moment walking out. (Sorry no pictures this time , I was so focused on the excellent food , totally forgot to snap some -next time for sure) From the start , I'm talking making the phone reservation , the staff was excellent , even when calling back to move up the time VERY friendly and gave a positive feel even before going in. Was very warmly greeted at the door and seated immediately. They have several sections each a little unique and we were around the service area which was great as we were constantly checked on and made this an exciting evening seeing the kitchen at work. Our group had the prime rib and filet , with myself ordering the peppered filet. Our server this night was excellent and made the evening enjoyable , we always had our drinks full and plates moved when done. No appetizers this time , but the main course came out in excellent time , cooked to perfection and for the sides , the portions were generous. Very well plated and great visual presentation. The wedge and Caesar salads we good , those did not overly impress , but then the steaks. Moist , cooked as ordered , and just darn tasty. For dessert had the crème brûlée , and like the salad good with the addition of the fruit , a little thick in proportion to the thinner outer layer but worth the try , will try another after meal next time but did enjoy it. But the main course for our party was a 5+ hands down. Overall, a perfect experience in a well run and kept establishment with a very friendly and fun staff. The parking is self park and plentiful. Highly recommend and we will be back for sure and next time promise some pictures! Overall, with tax and tip ran about 120 a person , and well worth it. Hope you give this location a try and let us know if you agree!!

My review for this location is a bit unusual. I went here for a celebration dinner my boyfriend took me to after I sold my company. It was convenient for us and a "nice spot," and we had both heard good things about it. Ambiance: Absolutely amazing. The Christmas decor was some of the best I've ever seen--truly magical. I'd 10/10 come back just for that--beautiful, special, and perfect for a celebratory occasion. Food: Mixed feelings here. I had the hamachi, which was well-flavored, but the quality of the fish didn't quite live up to the flavors. The soup was enjoyable, though small in portion, and the steak was mediocre. The wet salad was nothing special (but, honestly, what more can you expect from a wet salad?). Overall, the food was okay, but not memorable or worth the high price point--the bill was around $200 for just the two of us with no drinks. Service: A little glitchy. Our server wasn't always clear, and we weren't sure who was taking care of us at times. Water refills were slow, which became frustrating. Overall experience: While the food wasn't standout, the experience felt very occasion-worthy. The location works well for a special night out or hosting guests, but I probably wouldn't go back just for the food. The liquor selection is impressive, so if you enjoy drinks, you might really appreciate that aspect. In short: amazing ambiance (especially the Christmas decor!), okay food, spotty service, and a pricey menu. Great for a celebration, but not somewhere I'd go again

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.

My friend was in town and this is one of her favorite restaurants. I have never been here before, she said they are known for their prime rib. Service was decent, attentive when needed, but they pretty much left us a lone except for when it was time to fill our waters. The atmosphere was nice, your typical steak house feel. The food was fairly decent though nothing really stood out about it. The cut and flavor was good, but again nothing stood out. I will consider coming back because there were other things on the menu that seemed worth trying

Friendly and attentive staffs, good selection of food, great location and delicious food. Came here for business lunch, we had a great time. Appetizer sampler- the steak bits were juicy and tender. Garlic fries were flavorful Crab-shrimp Louie salad- big portion and delicious. Love the crab meat and big shrimps Seafood pasta was delicious but a bit salty. Will come back to try other items in the menu

The food was not bad but the steak was slightly overcooked and the lobster was perfect on an order of steak and lobster. Also ordered a clam chowder that never came. There is plenty of parking and this restaurant is easy to find, but it's kind of tucked away in the middle of a random business park. I don't think I'll be back especially given the price.

I work close to here, so we come here a lot after work. I love it here and never have had a bad experience. Service is amazing and very responsive. The bar area is a great place to sit if you have a big group and you can only order the sliders in this area. The sliders are a MUST! We've sat in the dining area, but it feels a little stuffier over there.

My wife and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary here at Birks. It was a phenomenal experience. The service was prompt and attentive. And the food was out of this world. Starting with the Clam Chowder, and ending with the most tender prime rib. All well seasoned and delicious. Excellent atmosphere! Will definitely be returning.

Came here last Saturday for the first time. Had no idea it was here since it's wedged in between some commercial buildings in Santa Clara. Plenty of parking and they have indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside and for awhile we had our own little private area until more people started coming in. Very good service. Our waiter and the timing of the food was perfect. We started with the Hamachi Crudo as our appetizer. Fresh and a good starter. We shared the blackened ribeye which comes with garlic mashed potatoes and bacon infused creamed spinach. I've had better ribeye but it was still good. We also shared a caesar salad. They split the portions up for you so you don't have to divide it up yourselves which was nice. We don't drink but we did get both mocktails they had on the menu which were very good and refreshing. For dessert we had the crème brûlée. It was just the right amount of food. I had some leftover to take home. I think it's a nice restaurant for date nights or when you want to treat yourself to a nice meal. Be sure to make a reservation!

This restaurant impresses me every time! The service is impeccable because they are always attentive and friendly. I usually always frequent the bar area where there is always open seating. Providing a welcoming ambiance that is relaxing, warm and charming. The menu is exactly what you want if you're looking to entertain your elevated palate. I had a favorite steakhouse before, but this place blows other restaurants out of the water. Starting with the oysters, fried calamari and steamed shellfish, was nothing but a delight. The margarita was top notch to pair. Then moved to the bone in ribeye, each bite was a treasure. I can't even put it into words how good it was. Paired with prisoner wine. Ending with the cheesecake and a coffee, was just the cherry on top! This place is one you don't want to miss if you're looking to indulge in some good food and great service! Highly recommend

We came today for Thanksgiving Lunch. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. Have their set prime rib meal for 4 people. The prime ribs is excellent, cook to just the way we want it . Very flavorful. Side dish are vegetables and creamy meshed potatoes. End with crème brûlée and coffee , a glass of coffee . Service is good and we enjoy dinning in here . They have a wide selection of wines too .

I came here on a recommendation for a nice steakhouse dinner during a work trip. I sat at the bar and chatted with another solo business traveler while I waited for my meal. I ordered a negroni, and then a glass of crisp white wine for a night cap, both of which were good. My meal was the crab cakes and the executive salad with grilled chicken. The crab cakes had great flavor and were full of crab meat and not filler carbs. The salad had a nice crunch and the chicken was well seasoned and juicy. I recommend sitting at the bar if you're alone and want to unwind and have a good meal.

I had lunch at Birk's with a coworker and was very happy with the entire experience. Prompt service, a great upscale atmosphere, and good food. I LOVED the salmon teriyaki salad. Perfectly cooked salmon on a cabbage slaw salad. Would definitely come back and order the salad again.

Always driven by yet first time visiting. Family birthday party and we had a great time celebrating. We started with happy hour drinks at the bar then transferred to the table for formal dinner. We ordered the seafood tower which was fantastic. We then ordered a buncha steaks and they were all cooked perfectly. No room for dessert but was a great time. Thank you birk's restaurant

You know you really get what you pay for. For years I took my mom to restaurants for Thanksgiving so she wouldn't have to cool. Every year she had some sort of problem... "too salty" "too dry" "too this" "too that" but this the first year she loved everything and I myself had the filet minion, which was perfect.

Oldie but goodie. Tastes still fantastic, I like to get the table at the corner. Servers are friendly, they can recommend you what kind of drinks to pair with your food. It's an old fashioned but high end restaurant. Really good for couples!

After about 10 years, we finally came back to give it another try. This time we're pleasantly surprised with the quality of service and food. Birks is still here after the pandemic while the rest of the building is pretty much vacant. Although, from entering the building, the sign of auto theft sparked our concern. The hostess was friendly; we were quickly seated at the table of our choice. Our server was friendly and inviting as well; she immediately opened the bottle of wine we brought in (corkage fee was $30). We ordered the oysters as a starter. Let's get down to the main course - prime rib. This time our prime ribs at medium temperature was cooked to perfection. Very flavorful, reminded us of Sundance's prime rib, they were on point. Generous amount of vegetable also cooked to perfection. We will definitely come back again.

Step inside Birks in Santa Clara and you immediately feel the weight of history. For decades, this was the after-hours clubhouse for the Valley's power brokers, venture capitalists, and executives who shaped Silicon Valley. Deals were inked over martinis, introductions made over prime rib, and the hum of business blended with the clink of glasses. The faces may have changed, but one thing has held steady all these years: the food and service remain uncompromisingly excellent. The menu is a nod to tradition, done with precision. Steaks arrive perfectly seared, juices locked in by a high-heat crust that gives way to a tender, flavorful center. Seafood is fresh and plated with care -- buttery scallops that melt on the tongue, grilled salmon with just the right char and a delicate flake. The classic wedge salad is chilled to perfection, crisp iceberg crowned with smoky bacon, creamy blue cheese, and the crunch that makes you want to linger between bites. Service is exactly what you hope for at a restaurant of this pedigree: warm, attentive, and intuitive without ever being intrusive. The staff knows their regulars, but newcomers are treated with the same level of respect and welcome -- a rare balance that's as important to the Birks experience as the menu itself. Birks is not just about eating; it's about continuity. It's where Silicon Valley's past meets its present. The Valley may reinvent itself every five years, but Birks has never needed to. The formula works: high-quality food, classic service, and an atmosphere that feels both professional and personal.

Came here for a weekday lunch. Service was good; kept our waters filled and checked in on us. I ordered the shrimp flatbread and it was delicious:) we also had the calamari appetizer and it was a good portion, crunchy, and so delicious!

My review is late (sorry been busy with work). My wife took our kids to Birks Restaurant on New Year's Eve for dinner. It was outstanding and while the last time I was at this restaurant was over 10 years ago, it still lived up to my expectations. Ambiance: The restaurant needs a little maintenance work. The fixtures look old and worked...no surprise as this restaurant has been around for ages. Service: It was as expected for a high-end place like this - GOOD. Food: See below ----------------------- * Bread and butter: This is outstanding just by itself! Yummm! * Appetizer - Chipotle Steak Bits: We got this and from the pic you'll see we all devoured this. I would get this if you are going to share o/w it is quite heavy. * Sides - Truffle Mac and Cheese: This was SO GOOD. I would highly recommend it especially if you have adults who like Mac and Cheese and kids as part of the Company. I would warn you that it is quite heavy. - Mashed potatoes: Good...but nothing special. - Spinach: Good and well sauteed * Mains - My sons each had the Filet Mignon and they both loved it. They got it with mashed potatoes and spinach (see pic) * Special: My wife had the pasta special which was elbow pasta in a creamy sauce with chicken - it was very tasty. * Sea Bass: I had the sea bass (see pic). It was a FANTASTIC presentation (the picture doesn't do it justice). It was tasty but I won't get this again...I don't like sweet with my dinner meats and fish and this one was a little too sweet for my taste. That said, I did finish it. All in all this is a good spot - we will again start to visit it again (the last time my wife and I went here was before we had kids). Now that we know our kids like the food there and it is kid friendly we will go there again.

Birk's serves up hardwood grill steaks, chops, and seafood. It's considered an American cuisine and steakhouse. RESERVATION I made reservations for two on a Sunday evening through the OpenTable app. AMBIANCE Upscale attire. The interior is a traditional steakhouse and intimate. SERVICE Upon arrival, the hostess greeted us after assisting the group in front of us. We were seated swiftly. Our server was excellent. He was attentive and did a great job providing us with the best experience. Bravo! FOOD My SO and I decided to come here for dinner. It was a redo Valentine's dinner since the other restaurant we visited a week ago didn't hit the spot. We ordered the same thing here at Birk's, which was delicious. * BlackBerry Mint Bee's Knees cocktail * Blue Royale Mocktail * Crab Cakes -- This was our starter. The crab cakes were served with mango salsa, herb aioli, and arugula salad. The cakes were tasty and filled with shredded crab meat. A solid starter. * Pork Chops -- I ordered the pork chop; well done. The presentation of the pork chops was appetizing. The two chops were the perfect size, seasoned, and cooked well. The chops were accompanied by mashed potatoes and creamed spinach with bacon. * Filet Mignon 8oz -- This entree was served with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach with garlic. The filet mignon was seasoned well and cooked correctly to be medium rare. The proteins were executed and well-seasoned. The sides were delicious. All in all, when it comes to steaks/chops and the sides, keep it simple and do it well -- that's what Birk's accomplished. Our drinks were good. We will return to Birk's to satisfy our cravings for what they serve--looking forward to the exceptional customer service provided on our last visit.

Was craving some prime rib and wanted to try this place suggested by my buddy. It was a good choice and I could confidently suggest it as well. Not knowing what to expect, I made reservations for 6:00 pm. When we arrived, it appeared that it was not necessary because their were only a few tables occupied. This was great because it gave us time to catch up with drinks at the bar. The appetizer: We had the flatbread and the fried calamari. Both were very good and will probably be my Go-To appetizer. The main course: I had the 12oz cut (Chairman) and it was just the right size. I'm a big eater, but know that I would not have finished the 20z cut (CEO). It was cooked to perfection--tender, firm and flavorful. Each bite was enjoyed like it was the last. Service: was okay and I would have liked a little more attention, but it was good enough to recommend. All in all, a good place to try if you're hankering for prime rib and don't want to break the bank. BTW, the place was packed by the time the entrees was served.

I'm not sure why the low ratings. I had a wonderful dirty martini. Gin A cup of New England clam chowder that was nice, creamy, delicious. Main course was a wild Alaskan halibut with truffle garlic cream risotto baby carrots tarragon lemon butter sauce and it was delicious . The fish was wonderfully prepared. The perfect light meal that I wanted. The staff was great. Very attentive. Great service.

Good seafood and steakhouse. Location: If it's your first time going, the restaurant entrance might be a little hard to find. However, they have plenty of free parking in the parking lot. The restaurant itself is pretty spacious. I would say it is good for large groups. I went here for a company lunch. If you have a party larger than 14 people, you will have to call ahead to make reservations. They also will require you to put a credit card on file for a deposit (the amount depends on the size of the party) Food: The portions here are decent. Because we had a party of 20, we had to order from a limited menu. The clam chowder was really good. Super creamy and had a lot of flavor. I asked for my steak to be cooked medium rare and it seemed like the people who got medium was more red and tender than mine. The lobster was a little on the dry side, but still very good. I also got their seasonal sorbet, which was pear. Loved their sorbet, they also give you two bug scoops. Service: The servers were super nice and quick to serve you. They would refill our drinks before we even had to ask. Everyone working was very on top of things. When I called ahead to make reservations, the event coordinator checked in on me periodically prior to the day of our event. Overall, I would come back to try out their norma, menu, but this is a great place to have a group event.

Service was good part of the food had real a problem i had seafood pasta couple of mussels had no meat in them most of our table ordered small fillet wit mash potatoes and a pile of tasteless spinach our family really likes vegetables so they really need to come up with different way of preparing spinach or maybe opt for some yummy roasted root vegetables, maybe ask all your employees to tey a bowl of the spinach besides the cook and give an honest evaluation or maybe try offering something different for the spinach maybe roasted vegetables

My wife and I come here often and always have a great time. Service & Food is always excellent!

Unfortunately for new business visitors to the area this appears to be a go to place for business dinners in Silicon Valley, of which I was forced to recommend to a colleague. Service: - absolutely horrible - in every aspect of setting the table for guests Birks did not deliver. - after drinks and appetizer, it took almost an hour for the server to take our dinner order and got some of them wrong Food: - Crab cakes were acceptable and in lieu of - flavors, the chef selects salt - Calamari was embarrassing as the breading came off as you were navigating with our forks to eat it - Filet Mignon was terrible, what steakhouse serves a $64 and cut full of grizzle with the wrong temperature. - For a standard Steak, the spices and chipotle pepper and whatever the heck they put on there was so strong. I had to cut off the edges and eat the middle - We ordered three plates of asparagus and they were raw and cold. No one ate them. - the brussels sprouts were undercooked and over seasoned - the mushrooms were good and the baked potato was cold by the time I got to the table Ambience - the entire restaurant has long tables to accommodate massive groups, very few round tables as we ordered - As expected it's noisy The Bar: - average nothing special All in all good one star to two stars on a good night. The observation our group made was Burke is on auto pilot and we will be busy every night of the week and will collect money and they're fine with serving below average service with average food and there's a market for that... Beware

interesting restaurant located in a bunch of business buildings. The ratings on Yelp definitely doesn't do it justice as people were giving it 1 star for "long wait on delivery". That's not reflective of how good their food and service were. I took my team out here for a corporate dinner. Everything was cooked to perfection. Most notably, the wood smoked prime rib, oysters, and market seasonal scallops. The service was great and attentive, and took the time to serve us going from drinks, to apps, to the mains. We were skeptical of the dessert sampler at first but ended up ordering two more to go. That's how good it was!! Imagine an old school steakhouse with a modern update on the menu. Much appreciated. Will definitely come back!

They have a good burger. Their fry's are decent. Very nice ambience and friendly staff.

Birks is a nice steak house to come to in a very industrial area with many work offices in the area. There's ample parking in the parking lot and a few EV chargers next door at Santa Clara towers as well. The bar area can be a little noisy but the dining area is slightly more quiet. I would recommend a reservation if you want to be seated immediately, otherwise after 7-715pm on a week night you might be able to get a table quickly after arriving. The food and drinks here are pretty solid. This is a nice place to go for a business meeting or a place for a celebration. The waiters service is fairly prompt and the food takes a reasonable amount of time. I started with a Caesar salad which was pretty average, could've used a little more dressing as I was eating a lot of unflavored crunchy water. We also ordered bone marrow as well as calamari to get us started. The bone marrow is yummy but won't really fill you up, I really enjoyed the onions and garlic bread that it's served with. Calamari is pretty average with heavy breading and not that crispy/crunchy. I did enjoy the scallops quite a lot and it was in a buttery sauce with gnocchi and green beans as well. Overall Birks is a solid place to come to eat but a little bit on the pricy side, but it could be good for a company or business dinner.

Not sure how long this has been here, but has the feel of an old school Vegas Steakhouse. Classic set up, nice bourbon selection Started with the shrimp cocktail. Came with 5 large shrimp and a nice cocktail sauce. Shrimp were cooked perfectly and nice and firm Caesar salad was true to the original with anchovies. Very delicious Had the ribeye for my meal and it was yummy. Nice cut of meat, seasoned well but not too much. Cooked perfectly For desert had the mixed berries and a double espresso Washed it down with an old fashioned! Service was good, very attentive without being overboard.

We came and we won't be back. Way way over priced for what you get. There is other steak and seafood places in the area that are better & not over priced !

Made a reservation on a chilly February evening, arrived a bit early, and they had a table ready for us right on the dot, even during this busy night. Everything about this place is incredible... plenty of parking in the lot (with a security robot), great ambience inside the restaurant (they also have a bar and outdoor seating available), attentive waitstaff who give detailed explanations about menu items, quick service for our order to be ready, drinks were just wow (especially that Sundown cocktail... so tasty!), and every single dish we ordered (entrees and sides) was phenomenal, I can hardly put it into words. We got the chairman prime rib, pan seared duck breast (from the Valentine's Day menu), truffle mac and cheese with lobster meat, and sauteed mushrooms. The last two sharables were my favorite items... simple delicious ingredients, not too salty, and perfect consistency, noticeably more unique and addicting than what I've had at other eateries. But the main dishes were amazing too, with just enough fat to add flavor on the meats. Food portions were decent, so we had plenty leftover. Can't say enough good things about this restaurant! Yes, it's a bit pricey... but what do you expect, it's a steakhouse (a pretty damn good one!)

Who knew this place was still around! It's because it's access really good! We had a team dinner here and the fish, steak and pastas were all received. The wine selection was good and folks really like the selection of scotch and whiskeys for the cocktails. Staff was wonder duo and parking is super easy as it's right there. Classic gem. 10/10

Two words, WOW. ZERS!!!! I had oysters on the half shelf, filet mignon, garlic mashed potatoes, sautéed spinach, and truffle mac and cheese. Y'all, 10 out of 10 recommend, added the blue cheese and port sauce to the steak, blown away by the flavorful spread. Mind you, this is after wasting my time and money at a more expensive steakhouse! Definitely worth the trip!!

Last night I planned for a holiday work dinner with some of my close coworkers. I booked reservations about a week in advance and I had no problem. The week leading up to the dinner they were able to accommodate more guests to my party luckily without any issues. Our server was Andrew and he was awesome and attentive. The food was great as well. Half of us ordered the prime rib prefixe 3 courses. I ordered clam chowder and my husband had the salad for the first course. We both got prime rib as our main. It was cooked perfectly tender, and juicy and pink . And then I got a key lime pie and he got a creme brulee for dessert. Amazing. Although I think I liked the creme brulee better than the key lime which the crust was a little too sweet for my personal liking. But I still finished it non the less. My husband and I aren't drinking so we had their mocktails. The faux smash and the Shirley blush. Loved the lychee puree on the Shirley blush so much I ordered two. The drinks are very strong and worth it. The co-workers even went to the bar for more drinks during the dinner. My coworkers and I really had a festive good time. I loved the warm Xmas decor, it made the occasion feel extra special. Would definitely come back again !

We came here to celebrate our daughter's birthday. Service was good, food was great - I had the 8 oz Filet Mignon, and it was cooked to perfection; my husband and daughter ordered the prime rib and it was melted in your mouth good; my other daughter ordered the lamb, and it was cooked to perfection and delicious; The crusted Ahi Tuna was also good. Overall, our group enjoyed their food. I had the key lime pie for dessert and it was delicious too! We would come back here to enjoy more food in the future.

This was my first time dining here. It was a little hard to find the entrance tucked away but we are so glad it did not disappoint. Bar area and dining was clean, cute. Great for date night ! I saw a range of attire from casual to dressy. Service was attentive and accurate. Staff was super nice ! Dine here for savory ! We can't stop thinking about the delicious prime rib. It was smoky, salty and just perfect. Sides of creamed spinach and mashed potatoes perfectly complimented the prime rib. Ended the meal with the pear sorbet and crème brûlée.

A truly underrated and fantastic steakhouse, located oddly behind a hotel in the outskirts of Santa Clara by Great America. I would be happy if not everyone knew about this place so I can get a reservation. The restaurant is big, classy and seems to be busy all the time. Lots of people come here for lunch and celebrating life events. I really enjoyed my ribeye steak as it was fairly priced, seasoned and cooked perfectly medium rare. Service is attentive, professional and certainly welcoming. I left here with friends completely full, happy and looking forward to the next life event to come back.

Have had more business dinners here than I can count! Always a crowd at the bar and in the dining area. From what I can tell, it's mostly business people stopping here after work, with coworkers or business partners. Birks definitely benefits from being located in the midst of a hi-tech business area. I've never had anything but very good service and tasty food - from the prime steaks to the salads and everything in between. We would often get appetizers for the table, crab cakes and calamari being the favorites. It's a steakhouse so I typically get the prime cooked perfectly medium rare. But for those who don't like red meat, they have chicken, pork, lamb, sea bass (absolutely divine), pasta and dinner size salads. In other words, something for most everyone.

Food was great and the private setting for our large size group was attended very nicely. Prompt service with very polite staff. We had a wonderful set menu, no idea what the cost was, but the choices and the what I tried were endless up being fabulous. I shared the 14oz Prime Rib plate along with a the Sea Bass plate. The Salad was fantastic and the Key-lime for desert. Certainly would recommend this top notch steak house.

We were recently at Birk's for our anniversary dinner. We hadn't come here in a long time. Dinner was excellent. We started off with a mango, passion fruit mocktail. Followed by a sampler for appetisers. Everyone loved the calamari and fries, but the chuck bites were a bit weird on the platter. It seemed like a side for a salad as opposed to something you would order for an appetizer. Dinner was a 12 oz prime rib with veggies and mashed potatoes. The prime rib had a smoke forward flavor like the prime rib was cooked in a smoker. Nice and tender and very delicious. The perfect medium rare. Our party of six shared the pear tart, creme brulee, key lime pie and a cheesecake. Everyone loved the desserts. It was a perfect end to a wonderful meal!

Great service and good food overall. Price is steep but lots of company events have resumed. There are places to sit outdoors. Food : best is filet migon and calamari. Others are all not bad. Parking lot there is a robot going around keeping you safe.

TL;DR: Good steaks with good service Came for a business dinner and our large party (20) was split across 3 tables so conversations were rather difficult to maintain beyond a few people. Not really a problem as everyone had a good time - just a seating issue The service was excellent - really attentive to our needs and quick with service of drinks. The explanation of everything that was on the menu was also much-appreciated My order: Prime Bone-in Ribeye (20oz) for $87 - rare - as this was a business dinner, I had less concern with price and more with quality to match the price tag - my rare cook temp was done pretty well although it closer to medium-rare - the sides (creamed spinach and mashed potatoes) were average I'll probably be back but only on the occasional business dinner - as tasty as the bone-in ribeye was, I don't think the overall quality was worth the pricetag Special shoutout to the service team Cheers!

Overall great place to dine out...took a star off because hostess look thru me and helped the couple who lined up after me at the check in podium...he helped the person in front of me, then helped the couple after me...I guess I had on my invisible Harry Potter cloak...rude... But the great service in the private room made up for hostess with the bad eye sight...wait staff kept our drinks fill, hot crunchy bread basket filled...steak was tender and flavorful...word of caution on the steak...my friend wanted rare but ended up with medium well steak...overall would definitely come back and I hope that the hostess will be retrained in not assuming that two people standing near the podium are part of the same group...either that or get glasses

We came for their social hour (aka after 49ers post game) Sat at the bar and the bartender was really attentive but one small problem he didn't want to smile always had a serious face. What we ordered was very tasty cocktail, shot of scotch, and lastly a couple beers to end the night with an Uber ride home. We targeted the appetizers pretty much everything they offered. Again great place a gem place to go for quiet time.

I finally went to Birk's the day after Valentine's Day because a swimmer neighbor raved about the wood smoked prime and the bacon-infused spinach. Upon entering, I was given a rose. My husband and I shared the chairman's cut. The prime rib was very tender and cooked to perfection. The bacon-infused spinach was a delicious addition. The garlic mashed potatoes were a nice addition. The key lime pie has a raspberry purée making it a sensational dessert. Our waiter was a whiz, tending many tables quickly and reciting many dishes. And he asked us many times if everything is okay. I would have liked to have my water refilled as the glass of water was small. But the wait staff is very friendly and accommodating.. Comfortable seating with high windows. Birk's does the cooking right. It is a very special restaurant and certainly one for a special occasion.
