The Birch on Elm

I definitely enjoyed the food and I give high marks for the bar and the vibe too. Good service. I feel a little burned by the prices, though. Two Tapas, one cocktail, and two cokes was $55 without the tip. Ouch. I would DEFINITELY return for the food, but not often because of the cost. Ownership: if you ease-up on the prices a little bit, you will have the finest place in Manchester- hands down. Please think about it.

The place is nice and the service too. The food is pretty good. What I didn't like is that considering the small portions, I found it a bit overpriced! We tryed 3 main courses (all of them very small), 1 shared appetizer, 2 beers. 90$ before tip is honestly too much. It would be a reasonable price if the main course was a real main course and not just a taste of it. Btw the server was very good.

One of the best restaurants in Manchester. The inteeior is semi-formal and cozy and fits the style of the venue well. Menus are fluid to reflect the season, locally sourced crops, and new inventions of the chef. Ingredients that don't sound compatible all seem to form delicious small plates. Servers have always been wonderful and possess significant knowledge over the food and drink menus. Cocktails are prepared to entertain your senses, with many common, new age, and old school options available. Well worth the price tag. Worth a visit. If I could give a sixth star I would.

This is a relatively small place. During the week it's a tapas bar, but at least on the weekend mornings, it also does brunch. That's what we experienced. The menu rotates seasonally, and is quite good. The food is well done, the staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the prices aren't unreasonable. I would definitely recommend someone try them out.

Delicious brunch options and handmade cocktails. The breakfast black rice was a unique and the delicious take on brunch. The handcrafted cocktails were the icing on the cake. Will visit again when in the area. A hidden gem!
