Delicious food in huge portions (& a tasty Manhattan, a cocktail I’d never tried before); our server was charming & helpful with menu selections…and made no effort to hurry us along when we stayed at the table chatting & considering dessert/after-dinner drink options for @ a half hour w/o ordering any.

It's nice to have Birch and Barley back and the renovations look great. The menu, though small, has some tasty items. The beet salad and shepherd's pie were well-crafted and offered great flavor. The standout was the salmon which had a perfect combination of elements, textures, and taste, all beautifully presented. The burger, however, was not as lean as one would expect at this type of restaurant, making for a greasy meal for one diner. Call me old fashioned, but I have to say I miss the beer focus from the previous incarnation. The menu offers no suggested beer pairings for the entrees, no beer flights, no chef's menu. And the waiter wasn't very helpful in making selections from the still-impressive list. That's what made the original Birch and Barley so unique, so it's sad to see that part of it is gone.

A noteworthy dining experience! Fahad, our server was reining Rahab and did an excellent job. He even had a Lebanese wine recommendation that perfectly suited the dining experience. The food was great making it a quaint delightful dinner date.

We went with a group of 8. Everyone loved the food—it was fantastic! And the service was great. But we didn’t expect so many hookah smokers. If you have breathing problems, you probably won’t want to eat here. Most of us were not bothered by it, but it was definitely a factor for a few people at our table. The smoke was not heavy, and it’s not unpleasant like cigarettes, mostly a fruity smell. Parking was easy. The food portions were huge, and again, very delicious!!!
