This was our first time having dinner at Current. The food and service were impeccable. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

First impression was great! The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Service was magnificent from the valet to our server. The ambiance was very relaxing. Great restaurant for date night. It was quite empty for a Saturday night but still very enjoyable.

I was honestly disappointed, spent a lot of money for our experience to be tainted by our server ; but we seen many great reviews so we were expecting more. My significant other and I went for a date night Friday and our server just seemed very not interested in our table, as well as her attitude being a little bit rude and disinterested with us. She never even introduced herself to us so we don’t have a name. Also the food took forever to come. After that happened I asked her multiple questions about the menu and she wasn’t able to properly answer them so when I got the food it was a completely different flavor profile than she described so it wasn’t quite the flavors we were expecting. It’s unfortunate that we got a server who didn’t really value us like she did the other tables.

Current hosted my brother’s wedding reception this past weekend and everything was incredible. I wanted to specifically mention, Sam, who went above and beyond for me personally on multiple occasions throughout the night. It’s rare to see this kind of service these days so I was inclined to give him some recognition. Thank you Sam and the entire team for a wonderful night!

Yeah it’s expensive but absolutely justified considering how good the food is.

Closed for an event.
Service was very, very slow. For context, we arrived at 6:45 PM (reservation) and received our meal around 8-8:15 PM. Took 20-30 minutes to get our cokes/cocktails. Our group didn’t want an appetizer and felt super judged by this decision from our server?

The service was really slow. We waited over an hour to order food. The atmosphere was upscale and nice. We ordered 6 entrees. The food was tasty but for the price nothing screamed we have to come back. For us it was a one a done.

Wait staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. Sorin was our waiter and he took great care of us. Food was unbelievably delicious too. We had 5 different dishes and each was unique and delightful. My wife and I said multiple times that this is one of the best meals we’ve had in recently memory. We will definitely dine here again.

This place is truly remarkable. The atmosphere is a vibe. The food and drinks....OMG. I tried the pork belly....and OMG!!! I had to cover my face to hide the excitement of well the flavors complimented each other. This would be a place for an anniversary or a date night.
They also have complimentary parking. Once we parked, walking distance of the place, and noticed they did have complimentary parking. they were willing to go get my car and park it for me.

Had a lovely dinner here. Definitely my favorite vibe in Birmingham. Great cocktails, unique menu, great service. I don’t normally get dessert, but their custard tart is amazing!

If I could give this place twelve stars I would. From the moment my group walked in we were in awe of the beautiful decor and architecture that was open and yet cozy at the same time. Our server Justin went above and beyond with phenomenal recommendations and was just overall lovely to talk to. Now the food... This was one of the best meals I've had in my life. The fish collar that Current's sister restaurant Automatic is known for got a facelift and is completely different and yet equally delicious here. My green curry dish was flavorful and lovely. I had the miso custard tart for dessert and I can't put into words how delicious it was. It made me mad to finish it. It was the best dessert I've ever had.
Thank you for a fantastic birthday dinner, Current! We will be back soon!
