This is a wonderful date night spot. We enjoyed the food as well as the ambience. The servers were very attentive to our needs. Having the option to valet was a bonus!

This place is great! My partner ordered the duck confit and enjoyed it a lot. I’m vegetarian and there were several options for me, as well. I ended up with the rosti and it was delicious! It was a bit overcooked the first time, but they remade it for me and took it off the bill entirely, and offered us a complimentary dessert for the trouble. It goes without saying that the service was very good and made the already enjoyable experience even better. I would absolutely come back here!
Vegetarian options: There is one vegetarian main dish and one that can be made vegetarian (shrimp and vegetable risotto, so you would be removing one of the main features of the dish). There are a couple tasty-sounding vegetarian appetizer and salad options.

EXTREMELY disappointed…we came for Valentine’s Day dinner and I found a hair in my dessert, fingerprints all over every dish I ordered, and food on my wine glass (not pictured)…

Loved this restaurant! Came here for my fiancés birthday and we left extremely happy! The portions were huge and absolutely delicious. They also accommodated my gluten allergy which is huge!

Best kept secret in Birmingham. In my opinion, Bistro 218 and Bocca are the best in town that are not owned by Frank Stitt.

We made a reservation for our anniversary and we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. It was so sweet and intimate going on a slow Thursday night but that redfish was absolutely divine. I wish it came with Swiss Chard instead of green beans because the grits are so thick it needs a better vegetable to complement such a delicious piece of fish. If the fish wasn’t so good this would be a completely different review. The okra was not great as a garnish, again another thick breaded vegetable. I would say they need to rethink the side items for such an amazing piece of fish. Grits green beans and okra does not elevate the dish. It stifles the fish altogether. Still a lovely evening and a nice restaurant. The fries were overcooked. Pick a different appetizer.

We had a wonderful dinning experience at this restaurant. It started with great cocktails at the bar. The bartender was so friendly and super knowledgeable.
After we got seated we had a wonderful dinner. As a appetizer we had the octopus, it was cocked in perfection. As a entree we had the beef Wellington. It was perfect and delicious. We also had the vegetarian butternut squash Rösti. It was also really delicious. Great atmosphere as on the bar as in the dining room. It’s a little bit pricey but its worth the price.
We will definitely come back.

We had a date night here for the 2nd time and it was lovely. We enjoyed the food and wine. We had a couple of specialty drinks and it was delicious. I enjoyed the gumbo and the shrimp on my main course tasted fresh.

The food was great. The white valet man however ruined the experience. When i got my car back the mirror was scratched and it stunk of cigarettes. I am ashamed and will more than likely never return

One of the valet guys out front was completely dismissive and rude, time wasted, food was cold and got no help. Terrible place, will not be returning
