Nicole p Loved this place so much we went back two nights in a row. First night had the sourdough, meatballs, Cesar salad with white anchovies, and the salcitta pizza. Was all delicious. Second night had the marinated beets, arancini, cacio e Pepe, and bolognese. Again incredible. They also had delicious NA IPA, fully satisfied beer craving. Everything was so good I forgot to take a picture till the final dishes came. Staff were also great and kitchen was cooking efficiently!

David Shepherdson We go there often. Nice view, not noisy, friendly staff. Outside seating in the summer. Not cheap but reliable and good value. Good happy hour prices. Love the ahi tacos, salads and burgers. Serving sizes might seem small to some. Perfect for us. Went there for brunch yesterday and had one of the best classic French toasts ever!

Kyle W. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brunch here was fantastic. My German pancake was amazing — perfectly cooked, light, and full of flavor. I also had a greyhound, which was refreshing and paired great with the meal. The building itself is part of the experience — the iconic wooden door, cozy cabin-style feel, and warm, inviting vibe make this place instantly recognizable and memorable. It feels like a destination, not just a restaurant. Great food, great atmosphere, and a spot I’d happily return to and recommend. The Birch Door Cafe is absolutely worth the visit.

Lorena Snyder This place is quite unique. The staff was very friendly. We had a reservation so we didnt have to wait to be seated. The place was nicely decorated. All the food was delicious. The plates have rather large portions. I highly recommend the jalapeño chicken, Ceasar salad, and Brussel sprouts.

Kaylee Leatherwood Celebrated our 6 year anniversary with some Fiamma Pizza and it did not disappoint. The food was incredible, but the reason for this review is because the staff deserves all the praise! Lily was so so great! Friendly, attentive, and kind. I appreciate her helping us celebrate!

Nan Arm Stopped in for a Sunday brunch and was pleasantly surprised at the menu variety. The coffee cake in place of bread for the table was an absolute treat, the bloody Mary and mimosa we ordered were super tasty, and then we managed to save room for our meals somehow. Their play on Cobb salad is a great choice for brunch, I highly recommend. Our server, Now, was great and the view was cherry on top. A friend sent us here so Im passing on the good word, and looking forward to checking our their dinner menu!

Cat King We visited Anthony’s Hearthfire grill for my parents bdays and the food was solid. So was service. I got the pork chop and my hubby got the lingcod. My toddler had the salmon meal. My toddler’s meal was pretty big size for a kids meal. Can’t complain. I tried it out and it was nicely charred like it was bbqed. My pork chop was unfortunately dry. I don’t blame the restaurant. I think it’s just how it is for all pork chops. The sauce/condiment on the pork helped with everything. It complimented the pork chop with sweetness. My husband thought the lingcod was alright. We all enjoyed the calamari and the prawns more than our mains. Overall, was a good restaurant for a special family event.

Diana Carrillo Wedding Anniversary dinner- It was busy which means the places is a good place in my book. The young lady right when we got there told us it was a 15min-25-min it she said we can sit in the bar right away. So we sat at the bar which the young lady/bartender was amazing!!! We was so sweet and you can’t tell she knew what she was doing. She recommend every good food and beer she made my food even better recommending adding things. Drinks/food was 10/10 and serve was amazing!!!

Ali W Was hoping they also had borscht, but they have literally only 2 things on the menu: potato or beef dumplings. But better to have a limited menu and do it well! Very tasty- especially with all the toppings!

Lauren Bunke The food is amazing! I had the Shiitake Vodka Cream Sauce with Linguini and it was delicious. We filled it up with the terimisu and it was a generous portion! Cant wait to come back.
