“Very nice place to have a drink and meet friends!!!“

“Great selection of bourbon 🥃“

“Exceptional in every way. The food is always over the top. They go above and beyond to make this the best dining experience. It's our favorite Birmingham restaurant.“

“Food was good, but everything was cold. Really like the place the staff is excellent. Wish they would concentrate on making sure that the food arrives hot.“

“I took my sister here last night after we left an event we had gone to earlier that night. I loved Atomic when it was around, and I had one of my best dates there. So when I originally came to House of Found Objects (HoFO), I kept comparing it to that date and it didn’t quite live up. It was still such a cool environment that I knew my sister would love it. A different experience and expectation was exaclty what I needed to get a fresh read on the bar. We. Had. A. BLAST! We sat in the lower level, red-room and played a game while we waited for our drinks. Our server was Cat and she was so nice, helpful, and upbeat. The music choices were top notch and the drinks were delicious and adorable! The bubble machines overhead came on twice while we were there, which was so unexpected and fun. We made sure to hop in the photo booth/video booth before we left for a chance at being on the big screen. I can’t wait to go back and show other friends this amazing spot. Thanks for a good time HoFO! You make Birmingham even cooler!“

“Every visit = perfection. The service is impeccable and the food is delicious. You can’t go wrong with the Burrata, Kale Caesar, and Calamari!“

“We went to Magnolia Point for the first time last night and are so glad we did. The food was delicious, service fast and attentive and the prices very reasonable. It’s a great place to take kids because it’s got lots of food they would like (fish tocos, hamburgers, etc) and not too fancy. There’s also a great outdoor patio that we cant wait to try. We’ll be back for sure!“

“All-time new favorite place! Can’t say enough great things—beautiful, dreamy atmosphere that feels like you drifted into a European country cottage with lush, greenery everywhere: friendly, attentive staff; refreshing cocktails; food was to die for, bold, rich flavors, especially the crab cakes and burger! 10/10“

“Perfect spot! My niece invited my sister and I out for her 40th birthday party. The lounge was so laid back. Good lighting, parking, and seating. Everything's set up so nice, including the bar, along with great bartenders as well. Great space for a nice party, meeting, reception, etc.“

“You walk in the door and this incredible scent lures you upstairs to the coolest Japanese bistro I've ever seen. Pick up the phone in the phone booth to gain passage to a legit 1920s speakeasy. Beautiful music playing, cocktails. I never want to leave.“

“I love the friendly atmosphere. The chicken plate is Bumping and oh, my Bartender makes the Slamming Bob Marley drinks, so if you want to relax and chill this the low key spot to be. Trackside hun“

“Was looking g for a place for a quick old fashioned. This place was recommended and did not disappoint. Great little place“

“My 1st time visiting here, went with cousins, we all had a great time. It’s very beautiful inside & out back. Totally exceeded my expectations especially in decor. Bartenders were nice but the drinks are very small. I don’t like having to pay average prices for a tiny cup. The music & sound system was excellent! Security had great presence throughout. The later it gets, the younger the crowd gets. I love the pool & beautiful led lights thru out. Spacious.“

“I went here last night and simply had an amazing time. The other customers were all singing and dancing to the songs they were choosing, and the staff all had fantastic attitudes. It was a very welcoming environment, along with an exceptional menu. Shout out to the bartender Ryan, who made me some killer cocktails. I will recommend this place to friends, family, and coworkers. Thank you, guys, for exceeding my expectations.“

“Great Fried Green Tomatoes“

“Very nice atmosphere with great an eclectic design and pops of personal touches with plants and vintage planters.Great service and the food was fantastic . To me , some of the side items on the menu are overpriced but otherwise a great experience. Our first time back since they moved to the main Street in Homewood. We got the nachos for an appetizer for five of us and it was really big, I think it could be shared with even more . We also got their guacamole, it won't disappoint, delicious !“
