★★★★☆ 4.0 Jamecia Mcclendon · Dec 2025

The food was surprisingly good. There wasn't much to the menu, but what was there was good. I had the truffle fries, wings, and spicy shrimp. The waiter was all over the place and rarely checked in on us. It was very discouraging. I would return though, but just for drinks.

My wife brought me here for my birthday along with two other friends. We had reservations. When we arrived we did have to wait a bit for a table as I guess they were sorting things out. We wanted a Booth but they said they had non available (though I could see three empty booths). They wanted to put us at a table with stools but given our age and backs we really wanted a booth. After much hemming and hawing from the hostess(?) after she conferred with two others, we finally were granted a booth to go with our reservation. That should have gone smoother Nothing indicated that we needed to specifically request a booth when we made the reservation. Aside from all that, the food was wonderful. The drinks were great. The shrimp excellent. The steak bites excellent. The Lamb, excellent. The ser

We were a group of 4, standing by one of the entrances, and my brother was violently bumped, and when he checked the guy for not saying excuse me, the guy response was, “hey dude, I work here”, as if that’s entitlement for being completely rude. Well about 5 minutes later, we dedcided to continue to go into the establishment, and my group and I witnessed the same worker telling his fellow workers not to serve my brother or any of us! He was 100% in the wrong, all because he refused to have and display proper manners. So we just took our party next door to Sidecar, which is always so welcoming and respectful!

Yum yum. The vibe was nice, food was amazi g. You must try the lobster taco. The staff were friendly and helpful. We did not have. Reservation and they hooked us up. Will be back for sure.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ameera A · Mar 2024

I've came here twice (Birmingham location) in less than a week lol. Each time was great. On my first visit my waiter's name was Chris and he was outstanding. He explained every item on the menu, he checked up on me in a timely fashion, just overall great service from him. The Bartender Nate made the best cocktails (I had a Lemon Drop and a Strawberry Lemon Drop) He even came to the table to introduce himself and made sure the drink was to my liking. Food was good, I really liked the garlic aoli with the fries. Fried lobster tacos were delicious. Filet Sliders were good. I'm not a big fan of pretzel buns so I would have preferred a different type of bread but overall they were good My second visit I sat at the Bar. Mike was the Bartender and he made me a Cosmopolitan. I ordered Sweet & Spic
