Birches Restaurant, Canton

[1000yregg]

This weekend, I went to Birches Restaurant in Canton with some friend from out of town. While parking is somewhat of a pain there, I found a tight space and we walked by the Greek Orthodox church to get to the restaurant.

The food there was very good- a take on comfort food items like mac & cheese, burgers, but also with some upscale items.

For starters, most of the table got the delicious baby spinach salad with chili oil popped popcorn, avocado, tomato and halloumi cheese.

I got the Pizzialo Grilled Steak- a flank steak with tomato sauce and cheese on top of garlic polenta. Tasty.

I also tried the Mac & Cheese- a little runnier than I thought it would be, but really nice- not too sharp.

Birches runs a comfort food contest every year- On the menu that night was corn fritters with venison chili.

For dessert, we shared a really good blueberry cobbler with ice cream.

The clientele definitely had a neighborhood feel, and all in all, it was a nice place to go for casual dining on a cold night.
