A great little BYOB fine dining gem in the middle of nowhere!The food was outstanding. Perhaps not the most daring and innovative flavor combinations, but everything was prepared perfectly and it was all very, very good.The service is very professional without being stuffy.I highly recommend this place!

A top notch restaurant in Chester County. Feel so lucky to have such a delightfully charming place to dine in the neighborhood. I love the creative dishes. Presentation and flavor is appreciated. Our server was a real charmer. She offered to mix us a drink since I forgot to bring my bottle of wine. The boneless breast of duck still make my mouth water thinking about it. I found the escargot to be on the salty side. So happy we got the butter scotch cake dessert! Blew my mind! Very charming decor in a country setting location. The wait for reservations might be long but it's worth it. Have to remember my wine bottle next time.

It's an absolute delight. Make your reservation!!!Every single dish we tried and we tried to get as many as possible was perfectly balanced, flavor, appearance, and texture.The service was fun and flawless.Location is easy to get to and beautiful surroundings.Super easy and plenty parking.It's BYOB place, so you can bring anything you want to have with your food.The ambiance is also perfect.This is an ultra high value experience and cannot say enough great things about it.The menu changes frequently, but guaranteed they will have many things you will love!

Fine dining in the middle of nowhere. Excellent food that is well worth going to the middle of nowhere. It's a BYO so bring a bottle of wine. The tasting menu is excellent, but you must make reservations months in advance. But again, it is totally worth it.

THE BEST!!! Tucked away out in the middle of nowhere this is one of our absolute favorite spots! Every meal we have ever eaten has been fantastic. One of the few places we trust the chefs with whatever is on the menu. I’ve had steak, seafood, pork chop, wild boar, venison and so much more. And to top it off their desserts (pictured) are superb. The butterscotch cake is a MUST! Note they are BYOB which is great. Also they only take cash or check. And you MUST call well ahead as they usually book a few months out. But I assure you it’s well worth the wait. Enjoy!!!

Yes. It’s definitely a five-star restaurant. I’ve been wanting to get here for about 20 years, ever since I found it in the very back of a Philadelphia Zagat guide in the suburb appendix! Remember those?Well I now have the Explorer merit badge for my Boy Scout sash because finding this place is no small feat, even with GPS. Know why? Because it’s in a geological hole somewhere in between West Chester and Phoenixville where I could not get a signal to use my cell phone!Anyway the place is charming with a distinctly French feel. The menu included Mediterranean Dorada and Spanish, octopus, halibut, duck. Kangaroo, pheasant and two beef dishes. I don’t think I have ever seen such a range of protein choices anywhere before this. And as they came out of the kitchen each one looked better than the last!The presentations were very impressive.Mine was the halibut which, wrapped around lobster meat, was steamed and sat on mashed potatoes and sautéed greens with a puree of tomato. It was fabulous, the kind of dish you might see in Paris or Lyon.Well done, Birchrunville Tavern!(Even if you are very hard to find.)I will definitely go again. Bon soiree!

Our first time here and I picked this restaurant for my husband's birthday.They are very popular and very busy and are booked out several months in advance. If you are okay with a later seating, 8 or 8:30 p.m. you might get lucky with a reservation. And that is what I did and it worked out perfectly.The food and service were fabulous!We highly recommended and will be back!

Outstanding! You absolutely must go!! The food, presentation and service are excellent. It is a very special place, and takes 2 months to get a Saturday seating. You have to call and leave a message with dates you are looking for. You will then receive a call back. It’s a wonderful experience—one not to be missed!

Perfect in every way. The staff, the lighting, the perfect table size and comfortable seating, the warm bread, the music and of course the food and desserts, all perfect. The only negative, the long wait until our next reservation.

Delightful meal that kept us craving more with each plate. The timing of the courses was perfect for a night full of good conversation, delicious wine, and unforgettable food.

This restaurant has been on my to-do list for quite some time, so when a friend told me he had to give up his reservation and asked if I wanted it I jumped on the chance. We were a party of four with a 6:00 reservation. Each of us ordered a different appetizer and entree. The gnocchi, or "love pillows" were the best. Creamy, nutty and perfect texture. I was disappointed with the octopus salad. There was a generous amount of meat, but the sesame and tomato flavors just did not resolve. Bummer. My strip steak was done to perfection with the most perfect sear on the outside and served over a light bed of roasted vegetables and a mousse of red sweet potato. My wife ordered a stuffed quail special that was crispy and roasty with lovely color and flavor. Service was attentive, but you got the very clear understanding that this table is yours for a limited time and they will turn it over in two hours or less. My advice is that if you want to linger over coffee and dessert (get the creme brulee), get the last seating.

This was our first time at the cafe. It took some time to get a reservation, but it was well worth it. We had Emily as our guide, as she knew the menu so well and had a fantastic conversation with us that she guided us through the delirious appetizers and main course. Everything is freshly prepared and made perfectly. We finished the meal with their specialty of Butterscotch cake that melted in your mouth. We are hooked, made a follow-up reservation, and will bring our friends.

We visited Birchrunville Store Cafe for our first time this evening. Amazing! Everything was wonderful. The food was outstanding and artistically presented. One thing that especially stood out to me was I ordered my steak well done (I know, a true travesty, but that's how I like it) the chef was able to honor my request but still the meat was so tender and delicious, I am sure I could have cut it with a butter knife had I not been provided with a steak knife! So tender and perfect. Seriously everything from the bread to the appetizer to the main course to dessert was absolutely outstanding. If you haven't visited please call and make a reservation asap!Also it was my husband's birthday and they put a sparkler in his dessert, how cool!!We drove all the way from Conshohocken for our meal and it was SOOO worth it!

I have wanted to make a trip to the The Birchrunville Cafe ever since a colleague at work raved about it. I was finally able to make a reservation a week in advance with my fiancée for a Wednesday - it was so worth the wait! We did the tasting and everything was perfect, including the ingredients, presentation, and service. Her favourite was the scallop with risotto (photo attached), and I really enjoyed the duck confit and the skate wing stuffed with crab meat, which I have never had before! There were five total courses plus dessert, and we even were even able to take home the last course, duck breast stuffed with foie gras, because we were stuffed too (no pun intended and picture attached). I am making another reservation as soon as possible!

We've been eating here since 2004 when I found out about the restaurant while cycling through the area. We thoroughly enjoy every meal. The servers used to recite a list of specials that was longer than the menu, I don't know how the staff memorized it all. Now there are a few specials and most dishes are printed on the menu. Timing has improved over the years; I remember waiting a while between dishes in the past. I love the overall ambience and location. We would rather eat here than anywhere in Philadelphia. Remember to bring your checkbook or cash.Parking: Usually there are spots available across the street at the bakery.

I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. We come quarterly, and always have a great time. The food is always fantastic. It changes just enough that you can have a favorite that will probably be on the menu, but the way the food is served changes and is always exquisite. The Oysters are out of this world, and the escargot is to die for. My wife loves to try anything that is unfamiliar or a common dish made in an u usual way. We have never been disappointed with the food or service. All of the waitstaff is extremely friendly and attentive.
