Birch & Rye San Francisco Reviews from The Last Year
Finally got to check off this place right before they ended
Finally got to check off this place right before they ended on their journey. It's my first time to have Russian food, I've had some variation of pelmeni and borscht at a friend's home, but never had it professionally made, let alone a modernized take on Russian cuisine. I was hoping to try their tasting menu, just so I can get a bit of their best dishes, unfortunately that was not available on their last day. I went and tried their borscht, beef cheeks, duck fat potatoes, and donut with caramel and Siberian sturgeon caviar. I was hoping to try their horseradish martini, but some of their ingredients were gone by the last day. I ordered their Princess Anastasia instead, which featured their strawberry-rose infused vodka. Basically tried to create a tasting menu for myself. My favorite has to be their potatoes. They were thinly sliced and cooked with wild mushrooms, then served with sour cream and fresh dill. Something about their sour cream being very airy made it a great combo to the rich potatoes. Beef cheeks were extremely tender and flavorful. The presentation was a bit unexpected with these crispy sticks as branches, looking like a nest around the wrapped cheek. The borscht was very rich due to its wagyu broth, but I found the texture a bit more watery. It was also served with a dollop of sour cream on the side. After seeing the sour cream in the soup in Google images, I gave that a go, it helped thicken the soup a bit, but it's still too much broth for what it's worth. Lastly, that donut was so simple yet so exquisite. I usually do not like caramel at all, found the stickiness too bothersome and it usually leaves a weird filmy aftertaste in the back of my throat. I didn't have that feeling with this one. I'm not so sure about the pairing with caviar. The caviar was great alone. I had thought to eat it all together, similar to the sweet and savory combo of chicken and waffles. Bad idea! It had brought out the fishiness of the caviar and did not pair well. It's great to have it separately though! The Princess Anastasia cocktail had a beautiful coral color, you can't taste any alcohol but I definitely felt it. While the ingredients list made it sound like extremely sweet, the natural flavors and sweetness of the infused vodka made it like a juice over a cube of ice than anything else. While I had enjoyed most of my meal, the service was not consistent. I see some reviews mentioned the server would spend time to explain each dish, mine had not. While I was still working on the soup, they've brought my main dish out. Food was just presented to me with their title, nothing else. How should I approach certain dishes, that part doesn't seem to exist. While the food was great, service is still an important part for a restaurant to win awards. After speaking with the manager, it seems like they were short staffed for the last day. Well, not like my complaint would do anything, it was their last day of business. Either way, I'm glad I've come to experience the meal.

Well worth an Uber ride to this joint! Exquisite food and delicious drinks. The service was professional, informative and impressive.
Tried Sunday Brunch--menu is excellent, coffee delicious
Tried Sunday Brunch--menu is excellent, coffee delicious but cup burned my fingers (no handle), einkorn crepe is served chilled (meh), petit rye w/smetana butter (not my favorite). On the other hand, the Buckwheat bowl was exquisite, and the Birch & Rye breakfast was outstanding (duroc bacon & duck fat potatoes do not disappoint). Pleasing interior design & wonderful service.
Excellent.
My husband and I both chose the vegan tasting menu. We very much appreciated the vegan option. The dishes were beautiful. Our absolute favorite was the Crispy Zrazi! The host was lovely. The service seemed a bit chaotic in the beginning, but improved as the evening went on. Looking forward to trying another vegan tasting (or more crispy zrazi!) in the future.
Excellent presentation of traditional Russian cuisine.
High quality ingredients and special care in preparation of authentic traditional recipes based on wholesome foods and fermentation. Beautiful presentation and a very creative menu !
Maître D was very friendly but our waitress was either
Maître D was very friendly but our waitress was either new, lost or ambivalent. She disappeared for ages while tables around us were getting sometimes two attentive servers. Apologies were being offered elsewhere for delays in food arrival and complimentary snacks were offered to others but our table seemed ignored. Drinks were very good, mushroom noodles were good but duck was dry and they ran out of lamb at 7pm on a Friday. Beautiful decor and I understand it's highly rated but our experience did not warrant the high prices.

It is very pleasant and very satisfying to arrive at a place where they serve you with that professionalism with which the staff of this beautiful restaurant treat you and I mention this because I have had the opportunity to go to different four or five star restaurants but they serve you in a normal but here they serve you in a very professional manner, educated and very knowledgeable about everything, offering you every detail of each meal as well as the knowledge of each wine that they give you every detail.. it is impressive, I am impressed.. I thank each of the staff who works in that special place, its owner who is a very very nice, humanitarian and very charismatic professional person.. my wife and I were impressed BIRCH &RYE
My husband and I went on a date for the first time in long
My husband and I went on a date for the first time in long time to Birch and Rye. It was such an amazing experience we both had! The food was exquisite, and the service we were given was exceptional. Everyone was lovely and professional. They even explained in much detail about the food that was made and what it was made of, as well as the wine that was accompanied along with each meal. I would love to come back again !!
This place is not just Russian food - it is an incredible
This place is not just Russian food - it is an incredible sampling of Russian, Ukrainian, and Uzbek food updated for a sophisticated San Francisco palate. So good! I am Ukrainian and my father was born in Uzbekistan so the food was familiar and also surprising. If you've never had great food from these countries, or if you've only had the more traditional versions of these cuisines, I highly recommend visiting Birch & Rye.
Pros: The decor is beautiful, and there is a nice back
Pros: The decor is beautiful, and there is a nice back patio. The presentation of the food is lovely. The infused vodkas are fun. It is unusual to have Russian food, so they get points for originality. Location, on a quiet block in Noe Valley, is lovely. Cons: The service was very poor. We entered the restaurant at 7:30pm and did not receive our entrees until around 9:00pm. We were at the restaurant for almost 2 hours, and all we had ordered was a round of drinks, an appetizer, and our mains. It was shocking how long we were waiting for our food. We think they simply forgot about our table. because other diners that arrived at the same time or after as us paid and left before we even got our entrees. No one ever checked with us on how the meal was. No one ever came by our table at all after we placed our order for over an hour. It was really the worse service I've ever experienced. The food was overall mostly bland and not worth the high price. I understand mistakes can happen. If the server had just acknowledged it and had apologized and offered to comp our entrees or something like that, we would have been fine with that. But there was never so much as an apology for the wait. When we finally flagged someone down to mention we never got our food, we did receive a complimentary vodkas (which we did not actually want or imbibe, given it was getting late and we both had early mornings and we had already had a round of drinks). That said, I will probably try it again someday, just to see if it was a one-off, since it is close to home.
Without overstating my frustration, I have never witnessed
Without overstating my frustration, I have never witnessed such poor service and disappointing food in San Francisco. Six people, each with their own starter and main, all agreed that their food was bland and uninteresting. For russian food Cinderellas bakery is magnitudes ahead at a third of the price

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
