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.

Had a really wonderful NYE dinner here! The tasting menu was incredible. All of the dishes were outstanding and the portions were sizable.

I had high hopes that fell very short. The lobster risotto was so bland I had to ask for salt, which only somewhat made it better-also leaving part of the lobster in shell made for a messy experience. I was with a group of six and everyone felt their food was badly seasoned and just okay. I would not go back.

We went for the restaurant week menu. Overall decent but the saltiness of food is very inconsistent. The lobster bisque and the Caesar salad my friend got were waaaaay too over salted, but some other entrees were under salted and lacked flavor. Service was great and the vibe was nice.

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!

Complete waste of time and money. The drinks were not carbonated, the food was incredibly sub-par considering the price. No management and next to no service. The steak was underwhelming, the crab was way overcooked. A shame considering the cool interior, but the restroom area was extremely dark which was not great. My worst dining experience in DC that I’ve ever had, and I have visited nearly yearly for the last decade. Avoid!

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.

Where to begin? From the moment you walk through the door, you are greeted with smiles from the hostess and servers. Once seated, our server, Mallory, came over to us with a trainee she was working with. She went over the menu, and then took our drink order. She was back so soon, we still needed a minute to pick an appetizer. We decided on the crab cake app, and then the Foie Gras. My wife is not one to try things, especially ones that are more exotic to her, but she had some of the Foie Gras and really liked it- I loved it! And the crab cake was all meat, no filler, good size for sharing- delicious!

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.
