Was here for a wedding event. The food was very good and the service exceptional. Mini crab cakes were divine, grilled cheese fun, also enjoyed the steak crostini. Needed silverware, which was hard to come by. However, the drinks kept flowing.
A fabulous dinner! I never leave reviews but everything was just so good. We had cheese board, and then lamb ragu pasta, chicken, and risotto. Everything was just really amazing, and the risotto was the best we have ever had. Had strawberry rhubarb dessert which was also awesome. Great place!
Great place, quiet and comfy. Atmosphere is great, food is tasty, as well as cocktails. Jack was really nice and helpful, making the place even better
Decent food but incredibly poor service
We have been to Churchkey multiple times and love it, and we were so excited to finally eat at Birch & Barley. It's great to have the same beer and drink menu as Churchkey while having a quieter more intimate space to enjoy date night. The servers and bartenders were absolutely fantastic! We had the lamb ragu and the venison and both were awesome, highly recommend!
Great ambiance and good food!
We went for restaurant week! We tried to enjoy it but ultimately poor service really ruined the night. It was a three-course prefix, and they brought out my app without bringing my husbands. Then they brought out my entree—my husband still had not even gotten his first course. He had ordered a beer pairing, and not a single beer got paired correctly. His first beer arrived with his entree and his final one was brought after we pointed out on the check that he paid for a pairing he didn’t get. Timing was off throughout, my entree came out before I’d gotten a few bites into my app and the dessert came a solid 30 min wait later. Each individual issue was small and we usually wouldn’t mind it but it all compounded to be too much, especially for an expensive night out! The vibes here are excellent and it had so much potential. Honestly, the food was good too. My favorite was the salmon pastrami appetizer—delicious! But maybe avoid for a date night! It was really awkward!
