Birkbeck’s Waterfront Grille

I’ve been here only once.
ordered steak tips w/​rice pilarf, and it was excellent.
the prices are competitive and atmosphere was delightful.
i would try again, and the owner appears to work hard and understands this business.

The wait staff was friendly and efficient. I enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan, atmosphere was fun can’t wait to go back

Couldn’t wait to meet a friend for dinner at Birkbecks & I was starving, saving my appetite all day for dinner. When I walked in I was greeted by the waitress, cook & bartender who recognized me from the last time I had dined there. They were all so genuine & warm making us feel at home. Our meals were outstanding & so tasty. My sirloin steak was so juicy, tasty & cooked to perfection smothered with mushrooms & onions. My friends pulled pork sandwich was phenomenal & the Cajun fries just made the dish complete. The huge quantities we could not finish & we both have to go bags to enjoy tomorrow!

Been enjoying this place since they opened, missed a couple weeks, came back anticipated the same great food. What happened? Completely different wait staff, hostesses, bartender, cooks, menu? If it’s not broke don’t fix it. Many of our favorites are now missing from the menu. Buffalo wings were slathered with a different, funky tasting sauce with zero heat. Why change? My favorite steak tips with mushroom risotto is now more expensive and comes with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies, again why change? When I questioned the change the waitress asked and was told I could still get risotto. However it wasn’t risotto it was more like Uncle Bens rice with 3 pieces of mushroom. One of the things that keeps you coming is the staff recognizing your patronage, however the only recognizable person was the owner who has always great ed us and made us feel appreciated, we saw him and he couldn’t miss us, but alas, he did, because we were never greated. Consistency is the number one way to keep people coming back in a town filled with amazing restaurants.

First time here. I came with six other people on a Friday night and our server Jordan was awesome. She was very attentive, prompt, and courteous. The food was just as equally wonderful. We ordered nachos — which is one of the biggest and most delicious plates of nachos I’ve ever had. All of our meals were delicious as well. Needless to say, we all left very full and very happy.

Like many of the other reviewers I was very excited to see a new restaurant in the area. We have dined there now 4 or 5 times, on all occasions the food has been good. Service has been good, but there seems to be an identity crisis. It’s an upscale menu, but it feels like a bar scene. This last visit we sat at a table on the bar side and there was a definite bar crowd and they were over served in our opinion. I am spending $ 70 for dinner and 2 feet away guys doing shots with beer chasers. On a previous visit, the St Patty’s Day parade evening. there were several parade goers that could barely walk out the door. I am hoping they decide who they want to be, I vote restaurant, the neighborhood can definitely benefit by having a good quality restaurant.

Read the Telegram dining review and decided to check it out. Outstanding dining experience. Great food, huge portions! Will be back!

We were excited to see that a new place had opened in this location. Joey’s was wonderful (and probably still is). Lagos was the same as this place. We walked in, host was pleasant and we were seated. Then promptly ignored. 4 tables occupied with families, we came in second and after orders were taken for 3^rd and 4^th tables the host took our order. Since I had a child with me, I ordered her lunch. I ordered a drink while waiting for my husband to arrive and informed him that we were no eating here. He got a little assertive with the man that bought the lunch order out, but still no eye contact. Place was cute and we like to support local businesses, but if you are of color and have a lot of time to kill… this may be the place for you. They will not see us again.

As much as I hoped to find a new restaurant to go to, I was terribly disappointed. First sign was cold, muddy coffee. Then we ordered.
I had the beef lettuce wraps. I enjoyed them though my husband did not.
We also ordered Asian wings, and Caesar salad with steak tips. I liked the Caesar salad but the meat was cold. The wings were over cooked and anemic. I am so sorry that it is not worth trying again.

We went here last night with friends. Luckily we had reservations or we might have had to wait for an hour. Finding a parking place took a little time as it was but eventually we got one. The food was excellent. The service was excellent. It was very noisy though. Of course, the place was full but there was nothing to absorb the noise, just steel and cement. Still, we enjoyed our visit and especially the food and service. I suggest you go early or at an off time. Enjoy!
