Blue Birch - Hopkins

Ate in hotel lobby bar area. Very noisy. Food and service were good.

Booked Blue Birch for a business lunch that included six attendees. The team appreciated the good service and good food. In addition, the restaurant is located in a Marriott which allowed space for the lunch attendees to make phone calls and log on to their laptops. Boss rated this location A+.

I made an outdoor reservation for Mother’s Day brunch. It wasn’t until our party was ushered to a table in the back of a hotel ballroom that I was informed outdoor reservations are not allowed for brunch. I asked the hostess why I was able to make an outdoor reservation when it wasn’t available and she told me it was OpenTable’s fault. If I had known this, we would’ve gone to the Mother’s Day brunch happening less than five miles from home instead of driving 25 miles to Minnetonka. The menu on their website is old because half the items listed weren’t available. The buffet was not worth $50/person by any means. I would not go back and wouldn’t not recommend

I have never had such a terrible dining experience and there was only one other family there! The waitress was so rude. When we asked about non alcoholic options she just said No we can 't do that. Our reservation was at 6pm, there was 5 of us, and we did not get our food until after 7pm. Again, only one other family in the entire place. One of our party ordered medium rare steak and received a well done steak and by then it was too late to ask for another one (and potentially another hour of waiting) and so we just shared our meals with her and they did not even comp the over $35 steak. The restaurant is in the lobby of a hotel and there will be people running around with their shoes off, just a heads up if that is not your thing. Felt like a worst version of Applebees with triple the price and worse food.

Fast service and reasonable prices considering this is a hotel lobby resteraunt. Pleasantly surprised.
