We had a fantastic dinner here right before a Reds MLB game. The dinner portions were perfect. We had the short rib grilled cheese and the chicken club and both were delicious. The price was affordable and we plan to come back for dinner sometime. The outdoor seating was well spaced and not too loud. Great atmosphere, great service, and delicious food.

The Birch is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Cincinnati. Great food, good drinks, and the staff are always friendly, inviting, and provide great service. Chefs Aaron and Marc have crafted a fantastic menu. I’d highly recommend trying the stuffed peppers, mussels, and weekly pasta feature if you go on a Wednesday.
