" I'd heard good things about Birba, so I had to check it out and see if it lived up to the hype. I have to say, the wine selection did not disappoint. I tried several glasses, and they all paired perfectly with the small bites we ordered. The atmosphere was beautiful, especially on the patio. However, I did have an issue with the service — our server seemed overwhelmed and was slow to respond. That being said, the food was excellent, and I can't wait to try more dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wholly impressed with Birba! It has a lovely ambiance that enhances the experience. I enjoyed their wine selection more than I can say; they really focus on quality. The small platter offerings were refreshing, and we loved the roasted veggies. However, pricing leans more toward premium, so it's a great spot for special occasions rather than regular outings. In any case, I look forward to my next visit soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a cute little spot! I fell in love with the atmosphere at Birba. Their garden area is perfect for a sunny afternoon. I particularly enjoyed their selection of wines, which was refreshing. I had the meat and cheese board, and I found it quite generous, However, the service was a bit hit or miss. Some staff members were fantastic, but others seemed less engaged. Despite this, I would recommend Birba for a cozy gathering with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great time at Birba, but the billing left a sour taste. The service was commendable, and I really appreciated the wine suggestions. The atmosphere made the experience pleasant, but I felt the food portions were slightly on the smaller side for the price. I enjoyed everything we ordered; however, I wish I had felt more fullness by the end of the meal. Despite that, I would return for the wine alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" During a recent visit to Birba, I was blown away by the serene garden ambiance and the quality of their wines. I’ve often visited wine bars, but this one has a unique charm that sets it apart. The server recommended a fantastic white wine that paired beautifully with the flavorful small plates we shared. I particularly loved the creative dips and the charcuterie board. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Although I wish they'd enhance their dessert options, I'll surely be back to indulge in the wines and small bites again.

" I recently revisited Birba after a year, and it still holds its charm. The cozy ambiance is perfect for evening hangouts, and the wine list is impressively curated. We tried some small plates, including their famous dips and cheeses. Though the atmosphere was bustling, I found the service a touch lacking in haste. All said and done, it's an enjoyable spot that I'd recommend to anyone wanting a relaxed night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic experience at Birba! From the moment we walked in, the cozy atmosphere made us feel right at home. The wine selection was impressive, with a blend of local and international options to satisfy all palates. We started with the pistachio feta dip, which was creamy and absolutely delicious. The service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. I would highly recommend coming here for a casual night out or a date night. Can't wait to return!
