The Black Birch

The food was delicious! I got the cod and my husband ordered the salmon. We also ordered all three desserts because they looked amazing. The blueberry peach galette was my favorite. The chocolate cardamom cake with ginger frosting was decadent and beautiful with the perfect balance of flavors! And we loved that they make their own ice cream, in house. You can tell the chef takes great pride in creating beautiful dishes. My only teensy complaint is the very, very dim lighting and the music was quite loud for how small and crowded the space already was, but I know that's personal preference. The food is great! Go eat it!

Black Birch is a gem in Kittery. I had a lovely dinner with friends there this week. Sat out back in the fresh air.

The Black Birch is one of my all time favorites. We were lucky enough to get right in with a party of 3 at 630pm on a beautiful Saturday which is usually unheard of for most of the restaurants in downtown Kittery. Gavin who runs FOH is also an owner is always pleasant and friendly chatting with guest while seating or waiting to be seated. There's always a great selection of beers on tap and a range of appetizers, small plates, large plates, entrees and desserts prepared with fresh, local ingredients. The Black Birch is best with a group that enjoys sharing so you can try a little bit of everything across the whole menu. The house pickles and devil's eggs are a must!

Absolutely amazing food. One of the best fish and chips we've had in all our years in America. We tend to order it whenever it is on the menu because we enjoyed it often living in New Zealand. The batter is crispy and thin and the cod is soft. The mussels were very good as well,, nice size and plump and cooked to perfection (mussels are also another food we are snobs about coming from New Zealand). We also had the strip steak which had these amazing radishes. The portions were just right and the price is very reasonable and the wait staff is very attentive and helpful with the beer recommendations. We will come back here the next time we come up to Maine!
