I mean, fine service. Classic Chicago guys who know baseball. $16 bucks for a pour of Knob Creek Rye? Get out of here. This is not the place to pay for that. I didn’t eat here, food looked on par for a hotel bar. Surprised they are still in business for the price you pay for what you get. Be aware of what you’re asking for.

We used to leave 2 minutes away from Birch River Grill.
I just found a picture from last year. My boyfriend took me to Birch for our small anniversary.
Atmosphere was okay.
Staff is very friendly.
I don't know if I was super hungry or what. But OMG! This Ahi Tuna is just one of the best dishes I've ever tried. That was definitely the best ahi Tuna called "Blackened Mahi Mahi". Highly recommend it.
Even though we moved, I would love to come back there for another date.

After driving around for an hour getting turned away by 30+ minute waits we finally decided to try Birch River Grill which was on our list.
Walking in on a saturday night at 8 and it's pretty dead should have been our sign.
The nachos were room temperature and greasy / bland. I ate them with a fork and ate a lot because I was starving otherwise it wasn't worthwhile .
My girlfriends vodka cranberry was below average.
The dinner was just meh.
The atmosphere wasn't good. I'd just not come back unless it changes.

Went for Easter brunch last Sunday, brought a group of 11 to find out that I don’t have a reservation!!!, 2 days earlier someone called to confirm my reservation. Total mess!!! At the end it was found under the… name Medusa? No table cloths on the the tables . The worse Easter brunch in our 16 years tradition! If there were NEGATIVE STARS I would give at least 5, there was no apology either.

Weird experience.
The server was the bartender and then later a guy in street clothes. We were the only people having lunch/dinner at about three pm and the bartender and I think the cook were watching a baseball game when we came in.
We weren't told of drinks on tap but were just brought a wine list. It's a big spacious place with odd seating. Food was ok a bit -overcooked -I would pass on this place. $$$ and Cooper's Hawk is down the street !

Three stars for a totally ordinary experience. A coworker and I stopped by for a fairly late dinner the other night, we each had an entrée and shared the firecracker shrimp appetizer. The appetizer was delicious but could've been presented better. It was just thrown on the plate over top of some reasons it could've been presented in a more appetizing way.
For the entrées we each had fish - one had Salmon the other had some sort of whitefish, I forget which one it was. Best part of the plate was the vegetables which were perfectly cooked and seasoned, probably a different cook from
