What a pleasant surprise this place was. First of all the owner is beyond personal. It’s like you’re at her home. The ambiance is elegant without being pretentious. Now to the food and cocktails. The cocktails were made masterfully, a rare treat in this day and age. The food was delicious and the portion sizes perfect. I’m saddened that this establishment is 3 hours from my home. If you’re in the area you’re certainly missing out if you don’t stop by for at least one meal.

Wonderful food with superb service and ambience. A great selection of both appetizers and main courses. A shout out to the owner who arranged a great table location for our party. Everyone in this group of 7 was delighted with every course. Great choices for everyone.

They make the best burger around. The craft cocktail menu is impressive. Highly recommend the chicken wings and house chips.

Patty, Chef Matt, and the staff not only run an exceptional restaurant, but they’re exceptional people. The food is elevated but the vibe isn’t stuffy or pretentious. It’s attractive and hospitable without the pretense. But they clearly sweat the details in every aspect. If people matter to you as much as service and a superior menu, the drive will be well worth your time. We travel an hour and ten minutes almost weekly to Birch and Vine because they’ve exceeded our expectations in every way.

Absolutely wonderful! The owner is warm and inviting; it is evident she loves what she does and cares for her customers. The inside is laid back but elegant and cool, all at the same time. In the summer, the view of the lake must be spectacular Service was outstanding from everyone. Cosmo was great, beer selection good as well, my husband found his new favorite regional beer. The only thing I can say that wasn't perfect was that my fish was cool upon arrival, and was watery and bland. I'll share my fish recipe with you next time we visit! Desserts were awesome as well!

We have a home within walking distance of The Birch & Vine and we feel so blessed to have a restaurant of such quality so close to us. But what really makes a difference to us is the owner and her staff make this place truly special. Great food at great prices, great service, great attention to detail, and every time we come we are attended to by a smiling, delightful owner and her top notch staff. The Birch & Vine is a treasure, and thank goodness it is in our neighborhood. Please try it out, you won't be disappointed!

So happy to welcome Birch and Vine to the neighborhood! The food was delicious and the service was great. Patti was very welcoming and our server Micaela was so sweet! We had the wedge salad, grilled Brussel sprouts, lobster risotto and the blackened salmon. All top notch. Oh and took home the key lime pie! We will be back often with family and friends!
