“A 25-year anniversary in the restaurant business is a milestone rare in the culinary industry,” said David Whitcomb, Birk’s owner, “especially in this highly competitive region where you find some of the finest restaurants and chefs in the world. Our goal has always been, simply, to serve the best food we can create, in a stylish atmosphere where our guests feel comfortable and welcome. We could not have reached this point without our truly excellent staff and loyal customers.”

Whitcomb added: “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this proud occasion than with Birk’s longtime patrons, good friends and supporters, who have helped us build our reputation into a Silicon Valley icon. It’s a great feeling to know that our 25th celebration event will not only be a fantastic party, but also an opportunity for us to help give back to this community which has been our home for the past quarter century.”
