 The beef fillet was excellent, as well as the sweet potatoes and asparagus and collard greens. I would not recommend the pork chop as it was kind of plain. we were disappointed that they had a problem with their licensing and couldn't serve any alcohol except for wine. Also, we really wanted the lamb as a starter, but they were out of lamb.

It was just us and one other table,(st. Patty's day weekend). Food was great, our server was wonderful, the food and drinks did take awhile considering we were the only folks in there but overall, great experience. We got the short rib, filet, and bison carpaccio and all were fantastic!

They were understaffed and while my salmon was good the rest of our party ordered steak that looked about like something you could get at Applebees. Our dessert was so long getting to the table and we had an event to attend that we gave it away to guests at another table. Would never go back.

Do not recommend. We went for brunch and they didn't bother to staff a bartender for brunch drinks. Food ranged from bad to okay. We were one of two tables and still our bad food took forever. Service was okay. Take your money and time and eat somewhere else.

Beautiful restaurant with delicious food and excellent service. The prices are more than reasonable for the quality of the food, and our server Alex was wonderful. Chicken breast, caesar salad, and chocolate torte were all delicious! They were extremely patient with our being late to our reservation. Will definitely dine here again!

One person working the tables and hostess stand. Bar tender was also overwhelmed. Drinks took 45 minutes and were bad. Server/hostess worked her tail off but can't do it all alone.

We had the best dinner we have had in years! From the vibes, to the outstanding food, and immaculate service hands down #1 place to eat in Birmingham. We will be back! Our server went above and beyond for us. They were out of olive juice for martinis and they went and got some olive juice from their sister restaurant. 10/10!

Line of 10 people waiting for this place to open. Employees didn't show up. After 15 minutes, the lady at the front desk was kind enough to make some coffee, but still couldn't get anything but coffee. Most people left and got breakfast elsewhere.

We needed a place to eat Sunday evening dinner in downtown Birmingham and found this place in the Redmont Hotel. Nice setting on the ground floor of the historic hotel. Food was pretty good - a nicely prepared tenderloin on a bed of collard greens with a layered potato side and a Caesar salad that used entire romaine leaves. But not great food - salad had a bit of brown and the potatoes with the steak were a bit overcooked. Service was pretty good - got a bit slow with apparently just one server on duty, but she did her best.

Breakfast is not as advertised on the Redmont website. There’s only a small Starbucks serving pastries and yogurt parfait. What good is a $15 food credit if there aren’t more choices than that? We wanted healthy protein, produce and juice options.

We stayed at The Redmont hotel for a single night for Valentine's Day and wanted a restaurant that was close in proximity. Luckily The Harvest is inside the hotel, so it was extremely convenient. The food was delicious and the feel of the restaurant was warm and inviting. We will definitely visit The Harvest and The Redmont again!

After carefully observing the menu, I chose to bring my wife to your restaurant because I saw several items that I felt she would enjoy. I made reservations a week in advance for Valentine's Day following our trip to the Alabama theater and was not told there would be a preset menu. Upon arriving at our reserved time at 9:45 I was first taken back by the limited selections available...main courses of duck or NY strip. Neither of us like duck so we decided on the NY strip only to hear our server say you were out. We were left with NO options in your restaurant or around town for that matter. Very disappointing. We were 1.5 hrs from home and had looked forward to a lovely dinner. This was a terrible experience for us.

My husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day at the Harvest. It was so nice and elegant. Our waitress was very attentive and polite. It was the best time we've had in A LONG TIME!!

This was our Valentine's Date night and it was NOT a pleasant experience. Our service was absolutely terrible!! We waited 30 mins just to get our waitress to realize we were there and to bring us water. Would not recommend on service alone

The menu was not what the website said, so it was disappointing for our first time visit. Don't think we will be back. Really should of made it plane that there would only be too choices.
