It was fabulous! The service is outstanding. The food is great! The atmosphere is very clean and comforting. Can’t wait to go back! Best Cheddar bay biscuits I’ve had! Lobster mac was good. Prime rib Philly – yuummm!

This was a good experience where the food was tasty but slightly overpriced for what you actually got. An example was an up charge of $3 to substitute a side salad that was not explained on the menu. In addition they charge a 3% “convenience fee” for the use of any card type (bank or credit). That being said, the food was good and the service was pleasant and attentive. Parking is all meter parking that I coins or the ParkMobile App.

Made an impromptu stop in Iowa City. Great looking city. Certainly a lot to experience being a university town. Our first choice to eat was too long of a wait. This sufficed nicely. The food was very tasty! We did have to go down to the Den and sit at the bar but that didn’t finish the taste of the food.

We chose St Burch for my birthday and our wedding anniversary celebration. The food is always wonderful and service friendly and excellent. Kim was our server and she was very attentive to our every need and fulfilled our every request. 8 of us in our party and ordered several items. Appetizers of their cheese biscuits (2 orders), shrimp covktail (2) and 3 different types of oysters. Entrees were NY strip steaks (2), petite filet, Caesar salads, a mushrooms gallette, Mac n’ Cheese and dessert was shared in the dark chocolate torte w/raspberry ice cream and a generous dish of pistachio ice cream. Prosecco and various cocktails were enjoyed. It was a fabulous experience for all in our party.

We finely got the chance to dine at St Burch after failing on two other attempts because of wait times. Highly recommend reservations if you plan on dining here. Our food was sizzling hot when it reached our table. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu and attentive.

New menu is fantastic!!! Lobster Chitarra was recommended and did not disappoint. At first I was saddened that the pistachio sundae had been replaced by a campfire, safe to say, I got a new fav!!!
