    Great service from the sales representatives. They are helpful without being pushy. When purchasing you will need to wait 6-8 weeks for your order to come in and pay 50% before you leave and the rest when you come back to pick up the item. Birks does not have a wide selection of some metals like rose gold, but they can make one if you request it.

    The FCP Birks provide top notch services. The staff are very friendly and super knowledgeable in all their products. As a watch enthusiast and a person working in the building, I always have good conversations with the staff and they are enthusiastic with all the watch brands as well. The grand seiko, Tudor and Cartier novelties they show me always get me hooked with all the amazing timepieces. I also happen to get a Tudor BB58 that I always have interest in with great service and knowledge. Very pleasant shopping experience. Nicole, Garo and Melvin here are great.

    I had the pleasure of dealing with Gato at Maison Birks, he made my watch buying experience super easy one specially during COVID times. I was able to get the watch I have been waiting to get for some time now, super excited, very happy with the over all service provided. I highly recommend dealing with Garo! Thank you

    I had such a great experience here. Melvin was extremely patient and nice. Very knowledgeable about the watch that I was looking at. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a watch and want someone knowledgeable and patient to help you with the process I would highly recommend Melvin.

    The store has now moved across its old store location at the First Canadian Place (FCP), still on the same 2nd floor, but it's closer to the escalator, it's more modern, chic modern, brighter and you can see the store from all angles. In fact, I spotted this store more often now than in the past when I walked in the past, I may not spot the store front. And those old wooden decor are long gone. The new store, the staff are knowledgable, friendly, never pushy, makes the shopping experience very enjoyable.

    I purchased a Tudor timepiece today at Birks and the sales representative I dealt with (Garo) was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Birks as an authorized dealer of many fine watch brands owing to its impressive selection of watches coupled with outstanding sales representatives.

    Great service from Garo and his team at Birks in First Canadian Place. Friendly, courteous, and super helpful. I'll definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Alim L. 3 years ago on Google • 6 reviews
    I had the pleasure of going through a purchasing experience with Garo. He was amazing, didn’t forget who I was even after months went by after my initial call, he clearly values his clients. I was able to pick up a Tudor Black Bay 58 watch in Blue, exactly what I was looking for and couldn’t have asked for a better experience than what I got at Maison Birks! Will definitely be coming back here for any future purchases. Thank you to the team! Keep doing an amazing job!

  • 5/5 Yasthiel N. 1 year ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Great experience here, I dealt with Jobert and Garo who are very professional and accommodating. I went in to order a watch which wasn't in stock at the time, it was delivered to my door within 3 days (in December even with the Statutory Holidays). Would definitely recommend Maison Birks without hesitation.

    I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a watch from Robert at Birk’s First Canadian Place. From the moment I arrived, Robert and the rest of the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. For anyone looking to purchase a Tudor, Tag Heuer or Cartier watch I would wholeheartedly recommend Robert and the team at Birk’s First Canadian Place.

    With every big decision comes a bigger question and the staff at FCP Birks helps lead you to the right answer. Not only do they provide an exceptional purchasing experience they appreciate the uncertainties of life that comes with it. Look no further for any fine jewellery store. Ps. Ask for Melvin C, he’s great !

    I had a great experience at Maison Birks thanks to both Aleksandra and Garo. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. Thank you for such a positive experience!

  • 5/5 Filip B. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall I had a fantastic experience purchasing from Birks. I had the pleasure of being serviced by Aleksandra Kimaeva at this location. She took extremely good care of me answering all my questions pertaining to jewelry and walking me through diamond size, quality, and cut. The staff were extremely accommodating to changes in a special order I had and had provided a complimentary signature sterling silver bell with the engagement ring I purchased. Aleksandra always kept me updated on the status of my order and stayed in touch for future appointments.

  • 5/5 F. K. 2 years ago on Google
    I was fortunate to pick up the new Tudor Chrono. I've been in touch with Garo for about a year. Each time I've saw or talked to him, he met me with the same enthusiasm and excitement. He is a true enthusiast and made the experience as memorable as the watch itself. Great communication and after-service as well. Garo and Maison Birks are enhancing the Tudor brand experience.

  • 5/5 Giancarlo M. 2 years ago on Google
    I had such a wonderful experience dealing with Garo & Aleksandra. Both are very knowledgeable and amazing with client care. Very thorough and down to earth, not like most places I visit now-a-days. Professionalism is second to none. 10/10 would recommend & will be purchasing again! Loving my new Tudor BB GMT!

  • 5/5 Philip T. 1 year ago on Google
    Aleks was a spectacular Sales Associate. I came in last Fall looking for an engagement ring - I had all of the ring specifications and she stayed right in my budget. We then went back to her to buy our wedding bands. Excellent experience, excellent service, beautiful pieces.

  • 5/5 Jun 7 years ago on Google
    My fiancée and I shopped around for e ring in Dec. 2016 until we landed in this Birks store. Annie Tse is the one who gave us the best service out of all other stores. She gave us different bands with the diamond we chose to compare with. She explained us the clarity grading scale. In the end we picked a satisfying e ring both in style and quality. Can't thank you more!

    I came into Birks to try on engagement rings. The door was unlocked for me by an associate who allowed me to enter without saying a word. I then walked into the store up to an associate who was busy organizing boxes and jewelry. I stood uncomfortably waiting for some sort of acknowledgement. I was completely ignored. I understand she could have been busy but a simple, “so sorry! Be with you momentarily” would have been appreciated. The associate that let us in then helped me try on rings but was not helpful at all when I was looking for something of a higher carat. My family has had the pleasure of purchasing Birks engagement rings since the mid 1900s and I will be the first to break that. With so much variety this day in age I was disappointed at their snotty demeanour and I would expect more from Birks.

    I ended up booking an appointment with Maison Birks since they carried a number of the watch brands that I was considering for my first watch purchase. I ended up booking a meeting with Garo to explore my options. Garo's knowledge around all of the watches that I had interest in and his ability to adapt to my specific buying behavior (not being too persistent/ pushy, knowing that I wanted to try on multiple options, etc) was very impressive and made for an excellent experience. I ended up purchasing a Tudo Black Bay 58 with two straps. I am looking forward to doing business with Garo and Maison Birks in the future. J

  • 5/5 Alexson C. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a beautiful timepiece, Tudor Heritage Chronograph. I got myself this watch as an early birthday gift, I’m in love with it. I really appreciate Garo for taking time and knowledge to introduce me through different Tudor watch collections as this is my very first Tudor watch. Thank you, Garo and Maison Birks.

  • 5/5 Mike D. 1 year ago on Google
    Both Aleks and Garo were an amazing help! I casually looked at some models with Aleks and she was a great help. Then weeks later I came in again with my fiance for an engagement watch for myself, and Garo gave us his full attention for over 2hrs while picking out the perfect piece for me. He was honest and very helpful and I couldn't be happier with the Tudor Ranger I went home with. Amazing staff at this location and I highly recommend stopping by as supposed to just browsing online.

    The rating would be zero stars if that was possible. I preface this review by noting that mistakes occur all the time in business. It's what you do, or don't do, about those mistakes that matters more to a customer. Also this order is not about this particular store location but Birks' national customer service. I ordered an item by telephone from a Birks customer service representative. I checked my card statement and Birks charged me twice for the same item. I called Birks and asked them to cancel one charge. I was then informed that the order (both "orders") had been cancelled - but that Birks had forgotten to inform me of the cancellation. I asked if the charges to my card had been reversed and was told no, they were still pending and no effort had been made to cancel the payments by Birks. So I had 2 identical large dollar payments sitting on my card balance for an item that had been canceled (but the payment hadn't been canceled) without any notification to me. I asked for clarification. I was then put on hold for 30 minutes before another person from Birks credit services answered. That person then immediately tried to blame me for Birks' fiasco, stating that I'd entered the order information wrong on the Birks website - twice - causing a problem in Birks' order system. When I advised him that could not be right because it was the Birks' sales representative that entered the order information and that it wasn't a website/e-commerce order at all, he began screaming at me (in barely intelligible English) like a lunatic . Suffice to say, I purchased the same item from a different vendor and filed credit card disputes for the charges due to Birks' incompetence . Birks can count me as a permanent ex-customer after this experience. FOLLOW UP RESPONSE TO BIRKS: I CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE AS YOU SUGGESTED. THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE E-COMMERCE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD THAT "YUSUF" WAS AWAY FOR PERSONAL REASONS AND NOBODY KNEW WHEN HE'D BE BACK. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH THE AUTHOR OF THE NONSENSICAL FORM REPLY TO MY REVIEW. NOBODY AT THE BIRKS CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER KNEW HER NAME OR HOW TO REACH HER. I AM STILL WAITING FOR A REFUND.

  • 5/5 Elio P. 3 years ago on Google
    I had the opportunity of buying a Tudor watch from this location and the service was phenomenal! Garo was very helpful and knowledgeable about Tudor, Rolex, and other luxury brands. Not only did we receive amazing service we also learned a lot. Garo took time with us and answered all our questions, his passion for watches and jewellery made him great to talk to! My wife and I plan to make other purchases from this store in the future, and highly recommend everyone checks it out.

  • 5/5 kyle c. 4 years ago on Google
    The experience in this BIRKS store location is a phenomenal experience! As I am an ‘avid’ window shopper of luxury watches, I wanted to do as much research as possible before buying MY FIRST LUXURY/HIGH END WATCH. This is where the excellent customer service from the Birks team especially (Annie, Garo and Melvin) came into play. I work very close to this location and a part of my ‘research’ on my first watch encompassed regularly visiting this location to not only look on the products but asking questions about its specifications, pricing and best value for money etc. I joke not when I say that this process for me took quite some time (months) and throughout all of this the team and Annie especially was very pleasantly accommodating towards me and my questions(some via email) etc. It speaks volumes towards their EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE regarding their knowledge base and their accommodation towards customers such as myself (without even having any prior purchases etc). With that said I had finally made my purchase and with no regrets and full confidence in what I was buying. All I can say is that if you want a pleasurable experience in purchasing of that first milestone watch, that special anniversary gift or that amazing birthday present for yourself or someone special, please visit BIRKS First Canadian Place Location and ask for Annie, Garo or Melvin.

    Had my wedding bands (otiginally purchased here) polished - they took great care in managing my request, and quickly returning the rings back.

  • 5/5 Denise M. 4 years ago on Google
    I went to Birks at FCP last week to buy my Birks Bee Chic pendant. The item was not available in store but Garo, the sales professional who assisted me, was so accommodating. He ensured that I get the pendant within the next 2-3 business days. I love my pendant and I enjoyed the conversations I had with Garo.

  • 5/5 Andrzej K. 5 years ago on Google
    Amir was extremely courteous, helpful and made sure I promptly received my new TAG Astin Martin edition.

  • 5/5 KlaudiaVeltheim O. 7 years ago on Google
    The kind of place you accidentally buy the perfect diamond, you get your money's worth every time, you won't see this quality or clarity in a small town, the kind of diamond that scintillates, is fiery, glows in the dark and the kind of diamond that outshines everyone else's, even in horrible lighting. I can reflect thousands upon thousands of speckled lit dots on a wall from quite a distance and love blowing people's minds with it, especially mine. I appreciate all my purchases and gifts from this store and highly recommend it. My uncle, also a jeweller, started as a diamond setter for Birks. I still have one of those old rings. Thank you, Birks!

  • 4/5 Lawrence C. 3 years ago on Google
    Good service and experience. Birks sold me a great watch. Despite being wait listed for the watch, they were always available to let me know how far along i was on the list. I finally received my watch in February and I absolutely love it. The staff are knowledgeable and are great Birks ambassadors. Will recommend to friends and family.

  • 5/5 Jason U. 4 years ago on Google
    Garo was very knowledgeable and has a real passion for watches. Very happy with my purchase and will be back again.

  • 5/5 Ands V. 4 years ago on Google
    To be honest wasn’t here to shop. But I ended up spending 6k buying a Tudor watch, GARO was extremely knowledgable and passionate about watches, he helped me to make up my mind to own my first high end quality watch ever after having a great conversation with him! I’ve been to different Tudor/Rolex dealers, no-one was more friendly than Birks and Garo! He even followed up with me after couple weeks to make sure the watch doing well and I’m satisfied with the purchase. I’ll definitely come back just to talk with him again!

  • 5/5 Sam N. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic customer service and the staff are very knowledgeable about their products. Bought the engagement ring here and they were very responsive with the ring selection, re-sizing, and warranty. The store director (manager) was particularly great. Highly recommend.

    I entered on a whim to look at watches to celebrate a personal milestone and Garo and the team at Maison Birks were very knowledgeable and helpful in helping me decide on a new timepiece. Client service is excellent -- Garo answered all my inquiries in a very timely manner (even on his day off)! The excellent customer service made my purchase decision an easy one. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Hamid M. 9 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    If you are looking for purchase your next luxury watch or even your first official one, I believe Garo would be the greatest person. He knows a lot about watches and patient with your questions. Also, your experience doesn’t end with the purchase, if you would like to swap your bracelet with rubber strap, he is extremely helpful.
