Whether I'm working or attending a function, the Manor has always met my expectations. With experience at more than a hundred events, I can confidently say that you can't go wrong with Birchwood Manor. I'm heading there today!

We fell in love with Birchwood Manor the first time we visited 2 years ago as the first person we…read moremet with was Michael Marino, who was so warm and welcoming from the beginning. Since then, we've worked with Michael on planning our wedding and he was so great to work with. He was easy to communicate with, super energetic and full of positive energy throughout the planning, and very informative. We wanted our dogs in the ceremony a lower guest minimum for fear that less people at the time would attend due to covid and Michael quickly accommodated our requests, no questions asked! Our wedding was 10/14/23 and Farrell was our maitre'd. After getting home, my matron of honor, brother in law and mom had nothing but AMAZING things to say about Farrell. According to my mom, Farrell saw my grandpa had trouble with his boutonniere and she, without us asking, started helping him and all the other groomsmen clip them on. She worked with my husband on getting a little last-minute seating mishap resolved (we had some unplanned guests who had initially rsvp'd no and showed up). She was so good with children as our flower girl and flower boy/ring bearer were 4 and 7 and she interacted with them and helped show them what to do at the ceremony. Our day of coordinator unfortunately had an emergency and was not there part of the wedding but Farrell really took over and checked in on us constantly and took charge of the day. My matron of honor said Farrell was so nice and reliable and amazing at her job. Going back to the wedding, our guests couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous the venue was, down to the chandeliers in the ballroom. Our wedding was unfortunately outdoors but Birchwood was so accommodating with allowing us to use the Grand Ballroom for the ceremony as the reception was already set up elsewhere. We upgraded the cocktail hour to deluxe and with both my husband and I being from Chinese families with high expectations in regards to seafood, the lobster tails were gone instantly as our guests loved them so much. People raved about how good the cocktail hour was, including the carving station and shrimp scampi station. The ice sculpture was a beautiful and elegant touch. All in all, we and our guests had nothing but an amazing time at Birchwood. We have nothing but positive experiences through our 2 years of wedding planning. Thank you Michael and Farrell and Birchwood Manor for helping us plan our wedding and make our wedding day visions really come to life!

I've been to this First Watch so many times that I can't believe I'm just now leaving a review. But…read morehere it is: chefs kiss, every single time. It's so cozy in there and definitely gives off farmhouse brunch vibes!! The food is always fresh, hot, and delicious. The regular menu stays the same, which I love, but they always add a holiday or seasonal menu with extra food and drink options--best of both worlds. I've never had anything here that wasn't good. The service is consistently great too. It does get very busy, so I recommend joining the wait line before you go--once you arrive, just check in at the desk and they'll give you a good idea of the wait and how many parties are ahead of you. Pro tip: anything on the menu with "hash" in the name--get it. The Belgian waffle is fluffy, lightly sweet, and just a little crunchy, especially with the warm syrup and butter. The Million Dollar Bacon is easily in my top three menu items--don't skip it. This location is in a busy shopping complex, but there's always plenty of parking. I also love that you can scan your receipt and check yourself out if you want. I've only had breakfast here so far, but based on that alone, I highly recommend this place. Try it and tell me what you think.

A little breakfast/lunch place that is packed to the gills - we had a large group so they split us…read moreinto two which was fine, and they took a phone reservation since the group was so large. The million dollar bacon was excellent - drizzled with syrup and pepper. All the kids liked this. The current seasonal specialties- tres leches french toast - the toast was good, but the tres leches made me want syrup - a lot more syrup- as it made it drier even with the whipped cream and strawberries. The chimi steak was too dry (they didn't ask us how anyone wanted it done... so not the best), though the hash was plenty of potatoes and the egg was done right with the chimi churri sauce a nice touch across. Service was ok, but very busy so they didn't come around much. Coffee cup was already dirty, passed it back for another one. They have a coffee pot upfront for those waiting. Self-checkout QR code to pay online which was convenient (credit card or Google Pay). You can sign up online for the wait list for seating (up to 12ppl).

I also decided to order the chipotle bacon burger this time as my main. It was a tad too salty and lacked the chipotle sauciness for me. The sweet potatoes waffle fries was yummy. Maybe next time I'll just go with the Brie Burger. Overall the service was quick and super nice. Notable mentions are when I asked for barbecue sauce on the side and since there were two kinds, the waitress gave me one of each. I would definitely come back or visit another branch.

A pretty decent hotel buffet breakfast…read more. They open at 7am on Saturday. As I'm an early bird I was there right at opening. I was greeted and brought to my table. The buffet had eggs, sausage, bacon, assorted fruit, pancakes, breakfast potatoes, cereal, oatmeal, bagels, yogurt and some danishes. I had scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes and some fruit. Scrambled eggs definitely needed some seasoning. They were very bland. I added some black pepper to help save them...but it didn't do much. The bacon was delish!! Thick cut bacon cooked to perfection. Sausage was your basic breakfast sausage. The breakfast potatoes were the star of the meal! So much flavor packed into little potatoes. My favorite of the meal. The fruit was fresh and sweet. The coffee was pretty good. Other reviews mentioned an omelette station. There wasn't any omelette station during my visit. Service was okay. My waitress cleared my plate as soon as I was done. What I didn't like was that she gave me my bill shortly after I sat down, and said "Please sign." I wasn't even half done yet. I felt VERY rushed. I believe this also offer a grab and go option. It's $18 on the weekends for adults.

Service was friendly as I ordered by phone and it was ready for pick up as promised. The space is still charming and packed with treats. You'll want one of everything! Thank you for the delicious cake.

I have only been to this place and it was very recently for a pick up. I placed the order on…read moreDoorDash for pick up and it was ready in about 15 minutes. Might have even been sooner, but I got there within 15 minutes and they had it ready for me. Very friendly counter person. All I got was the Taylor ham, egg, and cheese and it was a very hefty sandwich. It was very delicious and I'm not sure how I've ate the whole thing, but it was hard not to. I didn't really look at the other sandwiches, but apparently some of them are good and I would definitely come back again to try more stuff.

We had a reservation for 7:30, but it looked like they still had a decent amount of tables available so I wouldn't rule this place out for walk-ins. Fig&Lily Garden only serves wine/mocktails along with regular drinks, so we opted for the red sangria which was refreshing but didn't really have fruit in it which is sometimes the best part! Started off with calamari for our appetizer and it was pretty good. For entrees, we got the lobster risotto and the lamb chops. Both were really amazing and definitely will be ordering again. Service was a bit slow; we waited for what seemed like a while to get our order in and it took quite some time to get our check. We weren't in a rush, but it just seemed like a long time when it didn't appear to be crazy busy.

This was a spot that served sandwiches, pizzas, and made to order donuts. The service was friendly…read moreand the food was ready in a timely fashion. Four of their donuts were ordered. They were of the potato variety. Since they were made to order, they came out piping hot. My thoughts on each are below. The temperature really made a difference as I tried a few bites after they cooled down and it was not the same. All of the donuts were appropriate in size and somehow appeared very light. I wonder if that was attributed to the potato variety. I just could not believe how much the hot temperature made a difference in all four. Original Cinnamon Sugar - This was very good with plenty of sugar present. Raspberry Jam - There was a ton of raspberry jam here and it was great. Nutella - There was an excessive amount of Nutella here and it worked out well with the hot donut texture. It was unreal. Cannoli - This was great too. I really liked the melted chocolate chips in the cannoli cream. Will I go back? Oh, easily.

A true hidden gem that feels like it was made to be stumbled upon, which is kind of what happened…read more(saw a sign outside for potato donuts and was very intrigued!). Verrilli is a charming, hole in the wall bakery with a cozy interior. Although seating is limited inside, they will have a lot of outdoor seating when summer rolls around. There is a small parking lot out front, but may need to street park when it gets busy. The owner is incredibly warm and welcoming. Getting to the highlight: the potato donuts!! They also have other small desserts like cannoli, cookies, biscotti, and pizza, burgers, fries - all freshly homemade. Anyway, ordered the cinnamon sugar and butter glaze donut, (fresh and best enjoyed hot) and it was so light, fluffy, and not overly sweet!Looking to try their other donuts on the menu! Note: Owner mentioned this is BYOB! And can mix and match donut toppings!

Really nice waiter, too; attentive and patient! Cons: long wait for the table and our French press coffee ended up having a decent amount of grounds come through the filter. Good flavor though? Would go back but definitely will get my name on the waitlist first, or go for lunch. Place seemed to empty out around 1:30pm.

First family outing of the year. Lots of parking and great spot for after service on a Sunday…read more Party of 5 and we only had a short wait. We ordered the cookie hot chocolate, blondie, and the kids got orange juice. For food we got the shrimp and grits, Cuban, chicken tenders, pork sausage, and grilled cheese. All except the shrimp and sausage came with potatoes. The potatoes were good but some were not fully cooked so they were a little hard. The shrimp and grits was tasty and the cornbread it came with was good too. The Cuban was different than other places but still good. My daughter loved her tenders. My son ate almost his whole grilled cheese. My littlest one loved the pork sausage I had to order a 2nd order. Waiting staff was pleasant and attentive. Lots of tables and good for groups and small parties. All and all good experience but next time I would send the potatoes back.
