Birch's on the Lake Brewhouse & Supperclub 1310 Wayzata Boulevard, Long Lake, MN 55356

"This restaurant in a stand-alone building right on the lake with ample parking space and even valet parking. It's the perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a special celebration. The interior of Birch's exudes a cozy, clean, and tasteful decor that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. What truly sets it apart is the low noise level, allowing for intimate conversations and a relaxed dining experience. The staff is incredibly attentive, friendly, and well-versed in the menu. They provided excellent recommendations and made sure our dining experience was one to remember. Their dedication to making guests feel welcome is truly outstanding. Birch's offers a delightful fusion of American and Italian dishes, with an extensive menu featuring everything from succulent steaks to delectable seafood and fresh salads. We sampled a variety of dishes, and each one was a flavor explosion. The presentation is on par with upscale dining venues, and the portion sizes are incredibly generous; you definitely won't leave hungry. Birch's also boasts an impressive beer selection, and their cocktails are top-notch. The prices range from $30 to $50, which is well worth it for the quality of food and service you receive."

"First time here on a warm day 11 October 2022. We sat outside overlooking the lake. Great lunch with walleye sandwiches, and fries with the local IPA. Doesn't get a whole lot better. Lunch February 14, 2024. Lunch was great, slightly disappointed that brisket was no longer on the menu. Chocolate cake for dessert was too big for two people, but wonderful."

"We've been going 3-4 times a year for a few years. We've gone for brunch, lunch, and dinners. The property is nice, love the brew house and upper dining areas. The fires add a nice touch when they're going. Disc golf in the winter, as well as the dog sledding events are good for variety. Both the service and food is generally good, though consistency could be improved on both accounts. Staff can be either great or inattentive and outright unknowledgeable. We've had some of the best french fries and mashed potatoes around from here. Sometimes it seems like you get a half serving or a really small potato though which can be disappointing when paying $10+ for a side item. I don't mind it when it's the proper basket of fries as you would expect, but once we were brought a small soup sized plate they said was normal. Burgers can be great, though sometimes overcooked. They have a good flavor to them though. Brisket in the summer is also great, just make sure to ask for the garnished items on the side or the pickled juices seep into other items. They offer breakfast items off the menu and a buffet. When made off the menu they are very good, but come very early for the buffet as they tend to stop early. In house beers are quite good as well."

"Super cute place on the water. It was our first stop when we got into Minnesota. The view from the patio is gorgeous and very comfortable even went out of their way and installed a motorized overhang just in case it does rain, definitely a perfect touch. The employees were kind and attentive. We ended up getting the ribs and the walleye. All in all the food was good. The ribs did seem like the ribs you get anywhere, nothing truly special, and as far the walleye the fish still had its bloodline and bones in it not what I would expect from a premium price place. The atmosphere was fantastic. The food left something to be desired a little bit more attention to detail, and I think they would have it perfect."

"We had a group of 8 and not a single person was disappointed. The service was amazing - extremely pleasant, quick to assist, just perfect all around. Everyone at our table thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Speaking for me - I had the Mediterranean salad add chicken and it was vibrant, fresh, and full of flavor. The restaurant itself is a beautiful setting that is rustic yet chic and affords amazing lake views. We weren’t even seated in a table with a view but that didn’t matter because the ambiance was enough to please on its own. Truly here you will find a five star experience - I am confused by some of the previous bad reviews, perhaps someone was having a bad day."
