Dinner for my wife's birthday. It was awesome! We got the Beef for Two. It was incredible! Loved the presentation of the meal, and the flavor was incredible! Highly recommend this place! Their knowledge of beer and beer pairings is unrivaled in my experience!
Great customer service and delicious food. I loved the variety of draft and bottled beers they have along interesting combination of flavors in their food. We had a great experience, comming from Panama :) -Thank you Gary! we hope to meet you in Panama
Good beer, and a great variety. The place has a nice feel to it, and was comfortable for a drink at the bar. The lady who served us had a good knowledge of the beer on offer. The only issue for me was that it was quite dark and I struggled to read some of the menu.
Vibe 👍 Food 👎
However, the atmosphere outpaced the food and service. 😔
We were really looking forward to dinner here while venturing through one of our favorite cities. It came recommended by fellow foodies, but our experiences didn't compare.
We may have just hit it on a bad night... But our experience left us wanting more.
Baked oysters app tasted like a baked potato 🥔
Lobster risotto was pretty challenging to get through 😅 The roasted cod dish was definitely the shining light of the evening.
Giving it 4 stars for potential

Had a really wonderful NYE dinner here! The tasting menu was incredible. All of the dishes were outstanding and the portions were sizable.
We started with a cocktail and then picked out a bottle of wine to share with our food.
Salt roasted oysters were delicious. The grapefruit butter added some tasty tartness to the panko and pecorino.
Shaved Brussels sprouts salad was fresh and crisp, and perfectly dressed.
Cacio e pepe was great - not too heavy or overly salty.
New York strip was cooked to a perfect medium rare, as ordered. And the pan sauce was delicious.
Finished with the chocolate lava cake, which was tricky because I was very full by that point. But it was great. Not overly sweet and balanced with berries and espresso cream.
The staff were all lovely and fun, especially Paul who brought over some tequila shots from the bar.
My only suggestion would be to maybe leave water at the table. We found ourselves asking for refills quite a few times. It was very easy to get someone’s attention, though.
Overall, a really great experience. Loved the atmosphere, too. Elevated but comfortable. We also appreciated the space - we were glad to find a place to celebrate the night that wasn’t super crowded.
My new favorite place for brunch!! A solid array of choices, and all the ones we've tried have been outstanding. But my fav is still Eggs Benedict. Sublte improvements in the ham and bread retain the classic elements but improve the overall effect and raise it to perfect. Perfectly cooked eggs and prompt service, too. Congenial chef Nathan constantly refreshes the menu with creative and seasonal changes. A winner!
This place was absolutely perfect! Came here for my SO birthday and everything was fantastic. The prefix menu was exactly what I was looking for. Each dish was delicious and well thought out with the beer pairing menu. There were some dishes that tempted me to visit from NY more often. Romantic atmosphere and very attentive service. Would absolutely visit again if in DC.
What's good? The brunch ... The chicken & waffle was excellent! Not too sweet. The devil eggs were tasty. The drinks were good. I think the brunch was moderately expensive for the portions. $15 for two alcoholic drinks when ordering an entree is not an amazing deal but not bad. I wish the devil eggs appetizer came with more than 2.
My husband and his friend visit Churchkey often for beers but we all decided to try out dinner at Birch & Barley since they just recently reopened since covid. I absolutely loved the ambiance and aesthetics in here! The atmosphere feels like a perfect date spot. Food was also great. We got the bone marrow, lamb carpaccio, Brussels sprouts, steak frites, and pork chop. Everything was very tasty. Also amazing service!
Great restaurant! The oysters are AMAZING - definitely worth the money to get for a starter. The birch burger was delicious and came with small crispy fries. The “Crispy Hen of the Woods” was an interesting appetizer but not anything special. It’s basically just a very thinly sliced piece of chicken battered and fried. The garlic butter that comes WITH the crispy chicken is great with the bread though! Service was friendly and fast.
randomly walked in here on a quiet evening… what a find! I forgot this place was here.
First, decor and lighting is implacable. While warm “mood” lights create a cozy feel, track and recessed lights highlight the table (and all the amazing food) perfectly.
Food is IMPECCABLE! Delicious, beautifully presented and just … makes you wanna order a second potion of each dish. Tomatoes “tartare” dish was refreshing, yet very reminiscent of steak tartare. Duck was juicy, perfectly cooked and accompanied but some delicious greens and carbs. Would highly recommend.
Service was very attentive and “just in time” without being overly intrusive.
I loved this place when I came here with my sister and friend. We had so much fun trying a ton of different beers and ate amazing food. The pictures are pretty outdated, but I will definitely be returning soon!
