We fell in love with Birchwood Manor the first time we visited 2 years ago as the first person we…read moremet with was Michael Marino, who was so warm and welcoming from the beginning. Since then, we've worked with Michael on planning our wedding and he was so great to work with. He was easy to communicate with, super energetic and full of positive energy throughout the planning, and very informative. We wanted our dogs in the ceremony a lower guest minimum for fear that less people at the time would attend due to covid and Michael quickly accommodated our requests, no questions asked! Our wedding was 10/14/23 and Farrell was our maitre'd. After getting home, my matron of honor, brother in law and mom had nothing but AMAZING things to say about Farrell. According to my mom, Farrell saw my grandpa had trouble with his boutonniere and she, without us asking, started helping him and all the other groomsmen clip them on. She worked with my husband on getting a little last-minute seating mishap resolved (we had some unplanned guests who had initially rsvp'd no and showed up). She was so good with children as our flower girl and flower boy/ring bearer were 4 and 7 and she interacted with them and helped show them what to do at the ceremony. Our day of coordinator unfortunately had an emergency and was not there part of the wedding but Farrell really took over and checked in on us constantly and took charge of the day. My matron of honor said Farrell was so nice and reliable and amazing at her job. Going back to the wedding, our guests couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous the venue was, down to the chandeliers in the ballroom. Our wedding was unfortunately outdoors but Birchwood was so accommodating with allowing us to use the Grand Ballroom for the ceremony as the reception was already set up elsewhere. We upgraded the cocktail hour to deluxe and with both my husband and I being from Chinese families with high expectations in regards to seafood, the lobster tails were gone instantly as our guests loved them so much. People raved about how good the cocktail hour was, including the carving station and shrimp scampi station. The ice sculpture was a beautiful and elegant touch. All in all, we and our guests had nothing but an amazing time at Birchwood. We have nothing but positive experiences through our 2 years of wedding planning. Thank you Michael and Farrell and Birchwood Manor for helping us plan our wedding and make our wedding day visions really come to life!

The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for catching up without feeling rushed. My usual order is the avocado toast, and it never disappoints. It's fresh, flavorful, and comes with their breakfast potatoes that are honestly so good--crispy, seasoned perfectly, and the ideal side. Their coffee is also amazing, smooth and rich, and pairs perfectly with anything on the menu. It's the kind of place that works for a slow weekend brunch or a casual meetup with friends where you can sit, talk, and really enjoy the moment.

Walked in before 10, was given a friendly greeting and had a cup of coffee in my hand in less than a minute. Great coffee. I find extremely strong brews overwhelm the subtleties of coffee (I imagine that puts me in a small minority, but I know what I like). Honey's coffee was great. Choosing from a couple of dozen enticing choices wasn't easy; I went with a Mexican omelette. Served with pretty good home fries and very lightly buttered rye toast, I couldn't finish it. Little by little the small space with about a dozen and a half tables slowly filled up, yet I was never rushed. The second cup of coffee was s good as the first, and it was topped off by another friendly waitress (love teamwork). The place did get quite loud, but the sounds of happy people enjoying great food is one of the joys of life. A small parking lot abuts the restaurant. I intend to go back and I highly recommend it.

The lines can get pretty long, especially for takeout, so I recommend ordering ahead when possible. That said, the staff does a great job, and the line usually moves quickly. The pastries are always fresh, the staff is friendly, and they even have merch available for purchase. The coffee and drinks are delicious, and my favorite item is the breakfast burrito. It's also a popular place for people to work remotely, so there's usually a lively atmosphere. Overall, it's a great neighborhood spot for coffee, breakfast, or brunch.

Housekeeping: At the front desk, they stated that housekeeping is not automatic, you would need to request it. Fine by me as we usually don't utilize it. A $257 charge was made to our cc upon check in and would be refunded if everything is "ok". Breakfast is from 7:30-10:00 am. It's adequate. We got a $20 voucher that we could use per day in the restaurant or snack shop. You forget to use it, you lose it. There were about three events happening on the property this weekend. There was still ample parking. Rooms were clean. Beds were comfortable.

My husband and I love to stay there and eat at Rod's for our special occasions. The renovation is great! The rooms are so nice now. Modern and very comfy! We most recently stayed in a king suite and it was big and lovely! So much nicer than the kinda icky bridal suite we stayed in 8 years ago But overall, this, like rod's, is still a pretty traditional place. If you don't like that, you won't like it! And if you're not staying for business or wedding, maybe not your gig. Still, I love it. Nice, friendly, train in the back, close to Morristown and Madison both lovely towns. And I love Rod's and the red dog, both fun old timely places for some food or a drink.

My favorite was the chia seed bowl, and that's reason enough for me to come back. Looking forward to trying more of the menu next time!

I sat and read a book for an additional 20 minutes after I was finished. It wasn't very busy and there were plenty of open tables. I might not have stayed as long if it looked like people were waiting but again the server did not rush me or imply I was unwelcome.
