Blue Birch Restaurant

First, Katie our server deserves a raise. And Lisa was attentive and absolutely kind and made it right. Blue Birch deserves to be shut down.I ordered the Yoshi Burger MEdium Well and it was absolutely terrible. Raw! Lemme say it again, raw flesh in my mouth. I tasted raw hamburger and cut into the burger and it was bright red cow flesh. Fries were soggy. Taco salad was basic and chicken tasted processed. When they asked me if I wanted another burger I said no way. But I would like another option but the kitchen left for the night. After 20 minutes of being here. Kitchen not just closed but chefs gone. Branding made me think this was going to be on point as a vibe... it was a total dive! Side note: I grade my bathrooms as a 5 Star Bougie (clean, pleasant, smells great, picked up, in order), 3 Star Basic (like home with the basics and equally as clean) or 1 star Bad (filthy, paper towels on the floor, sink is disgusting, smells like a toilet, etc) ... this gets a 3.

Had breakfast here and waited a good half hour to get my food. Just eggs, hash-browns, bacon and toast. Sat on the outdoor patio, which is very lovely! Nice pools with goldfish and water fountain. I have not been here for about 3 years and I see on the edge of the pool there is now an ugly stainless steel bar blocking the lovely pool view from all the tables! Ugh! Certainly was not planned out by any designer! The bar tender can't even see it as his back is to the pool! Too bad they destroyed the outdoor patio! Very sad!!

When you go during regular lunch or dinner hours, I find this place smashingly delicious & underrated. Your mileage might vary. Their breakfast buffet servers can be hit or miss and I've had some misses but their lunch & dinner menu & outdoor atmosphere in the summer is a little secret hideaway has been spot on every time. I really enjoyed Ivan, our server for lunch last time: attentive & a peach.

This was the one disappointment I had with my stay at this Marriott property.The lunch and dinner menus are nice and priced accordingly. Good food for the most part.The daily breakfast buffet? $18ish per guest for a meal that other Marriott properties provide for free. smhLimited staff as would be expected with a buffet. Eggs from a bottle, bacon, sausage, pancakes, fruit, grab and go fruit and yogurt, and toast your own bagels and bread. But none of it was the caliber of what you'd expect for a breakfast at this price. Skip breakfast here and head for Hoagie's. The BB is fine for lunch and dinner.

This should not be advertised for breakfast. Charging $17 for a breakfast buffet that is not any better than complementary breakfasts offered at most hotels.

I like to keep my reviews positive but this one was hard. The staff was not able to recommend a single good dish, they looked confused, like they had not eaten there or if there was nothing good. I was pleasantly suprosed that the burger pattie was very good. The fries were soggy and not crispy at all. But the biggest let down were the house smokey rub wings. Good God add a lot of salt and some sugar and you get the same inconsistent overly salted flavor. It was a no go for me. It was sad, because they are sure not cheap.

This was our 2nd visit to this restaurant. This time was a huge disappointment! Still a very nice atmosphere, but the menu has been slashed. No longer have any entrees or the bowls, only appetizers, salads, and sandwiches. The walleye sandwich was horrible! Quite obviously fried in old grease, it tasted like old grease and came on a dry bun with No tartar sauce or anything on it. Just 2 small filets slapped on a bun. Ick! My partner had the philly steak sandwich which was somewhat better but was also served dry. No au jus to dip into. All in all, Very disappointed and won't be back until their menu greatly improves.

Blue Birch is located inside a Marriott hotel and is a nicely designed hotel bar/restaurant. It is modern with a clean design, plenty of sunlight from giant windows, and a nice outdoor space with fire pits, tables with umbrellas, and a fountain. Their space is one of the most positive parts of dining there. I stopped by for a happy hour with a coworker and we started with a round of beer and wine. The wine list doesn't include anything spectacular and the bottle are ones I wouldn't choose to purchase if I could avoid them. Their beer list however is good - lots of local beers on tap or in bottles and cans. We followed those drinks up with martinis. The cocktails at Blue Birch struggle. We were automatically given a rail gin for the martinis and they weren't strained and were full of ice. One coworker got a Manhattan and the complaints were similar. Finally, our servers were friendly and were working hard, but they must have been understaffed because service was slow. We asked for waters a few times and didn't receive them until we were leaving. It was probably the busiest I've ever seen the restaurant, so I can't put too much weight in the service being slower than usual.Overall, this is a good spot to grab a beer after work or if you're staying in the hotel, but I wouldn't recommend a special trip to visit.

We stood at the connecting Marriott for 5 days and ate here each morning for breakfast and several times for dinner. Breakfast was great (and included depending on your Marriott status) and our server was the best - he was super friendly and very accommodating. For dinner, I rate lower.. felt overpriced and the cocktails were heavy on the bitters. In summary, definitely come for breakfast and your best bet is a bowl off the dinner menu and a beer or spirit served neat for dinner.

Many things went well, just met my dad for breakfast on a Friday morning. I didn't want to meet at a chain restaurant and wanted to explore near by spots. This absolutely fit the bill. We did the buffet and there was a lot! Staff being friendly was a super plus! The space was open and bright!Dad wants to bring his retiree group here for the 1x/month breakfast group, you have made a friend! ( am sure you if the group wanted a semi quiet spot... seemed that could be arranged!) If they call ahead (a small space seemed like it could be arranged very easily! For less than 20 people!) thank you for a great breakfast date with my dad! We appreciated it!
