Birch: Experience Upscale New American Dining in Milwaukee

Went to Birch on my birthday and yes, the food was amazing, they took good care of every single product, bite, story… but I needed to highlight that the staff signed me a birthday card!! It was so unexpected that tears came to my eyes when I saw all of their names and birthdays wishes! Thank you so much We live thousands of miles away but we’ll be back!

We chose the tasting menu at Birch for a romantic date night — and it was truly exceptional. We were seated at a table right in front of the open kitchen, which added such a special touch to the evening. Watching the chefs work with focus and precision brought us even closer to the experience. The food was creative, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Each course was thoughtful and well-balanced, highlighting seasonal ingredients in unexpected and delightful ways. What also stood out was the team-based service: several staff members took care of us throughout the evening, and every interaction was warm, professional, and perfectly timed. We felt truly cared for the entire night. The ambiance — elegant yet relaxed — made it an ideal setting for a date. Birch exceeded our expectations, and we’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a refined but welcoming dining experience in Milwaukee.

Second time coming with my wife and trying the tasting menu. This place is better the second time around. It is amazing. I always considered myself a meat eater/lover. This place really taught me that cooking vegetables at the highest tier can beat any steak. It’s like tasting flavors you never know existed. Everything is fresh, tangy, sour, sweet, salty, umami, and zesty. You can really pin point each flavor with ease. I am excited to come back and see what new art is created. The staff works like a well oiled machine; a lot of finesse. Also, very picky wife approves of everything and said it’s her favorite restaurant. Picture: you fancy huh . Dessert: Herb ice, passion fruit crème, and mango sorbet. Best Cocktail I’ve ever had (I’ve been to the top rated bar in the country) I’ll leave it at that.

My husband and I are avid diners and also own a food business, and this is one of the best experiences we’ve had! While there is a great selection of wood fired meats and fish on the menu (we had trout—it was fantastic!), we were blown away by the vegetables and pastas. The service was warm, inviting and attentive (thank you for a wonderful night Catie!!!) and the wine program offered exciting options and informed, enthusiastic and attentive service by the sommelier. Don’t skip dessert :) We live in Chicago and will go back often.

Came for the burger, and got some excellent appetizers and service as well. Burger was simple and delicious. They nailed a medium for smash patties. Thr secret sauce blended with it just raw onions and cheese with it. Got the farm vegetables with carrot miso dip and grilled cabbage with ham hock broth. All the servers were nice and the bartender was extremely helpful in explaining everything.

Absolutely wonderful experience at Birch! The service was wonderful, our server Catie was very kind and informed. The food was outstanding, highlighting some the most delicious seasonal produce we've had all year. Every part of the staff from front of house to the kitchen made our experience 10/10. Thanks Birch! Will definitely be back soon!

This place is amazing! I had such a great time and I will definitely be back. I had the tasting menu and the food was absolutely amazing. The staff and the atmosphere was outstanding, refined yet relaxed and warm. The wine paring was also spot on. With Tons of info from the staff on the story behind each wine and producer, and the reason for the paring choice. The price is absolutely fair for what you get. Cannot miss coming here!

Cannot say enough amazing things about our Birch dinner experience! We came for my boyfriend’s birthday and we were blown away by the food and the service from everyone! Truly, run, don’t walk here. We can’t wait to return! Didn’t even take any pics of the food or drinks because we were enjoying the moment too much!
