Fantastic - our evening at Helen could not have been better. The wait staff is polite and informative sharing suggestions on wine pairings as well as explanations when needed. The John Dory was outstanding. Perfection. A fine cuisine jewel in Paris.

This was our first time to Helen and our group was very impressed, the food was spectacular. Need to be a fish lover! The fish was so fresh and so well prepared, just melt in your mouth. Highly recommend!

My favorite restaurant in Birmingham! Great for business lunches or dinners.
You would be hard pressed to find a better restaurant than Helen for lunch or dinner in Birmingham. You have to start with the biscuits. They are fluffy and the butter they serve them with is perfectly sweet with a bit of a butterscotch flavor. We could have simply eaten them for all 4 courses of our meal. We went during lunch. Of the mains, our group liked the Schnitzel and chicken thighs. We also got the corn ribs and potatoes. The potatoes were the clear winner between the two. For dessert, we shared the peanut butter pie. The perfect ending to a great lunch.

Personally I think the food is overly seasoned. The food is cooked perfectly, looks good just a tad too much seasoning. The service is top notch, the atmosphere excellent.

I've visited a few times (3 or 4) but I must say this evening was a highlight. The red snapper was superb. The cast iron skillet veggies were excellent & my favorite celery & blue cheese slaw was absolutely delicious. My entire experience was WONDERFUL. I need not mention the angel biscuits because if you have ever dined there, you know. OMG!

Visiting from Los Angeles for 4 days. As always, when I’m in a new town, I try to explore and support good local restaurants. Decided to give this place a try. When it comes to food and restaurants I am definitely a snob. It takes a lot for me to be impressed as I have lots of f&b experience and knowledge. The moment I walked thru the door I was greeted with warm smiles by 3 lovely ladies. Their vibe was so welcoming and sincere that I instantly felt at home. I decided to eat at the bar and my server Cade was amazing. So friendly and genuine. What a wonderful young man. Throughout my dinner staff said hi and talked to me and everyone was so genuine that I felt like I knew everyone for years. The vibe, the staff and the food were so amazing that I might literally come eat here for 3 days straight, while in town, and not even bother with another place.
Omg! Definitely a must have!!! We are incredibly picky but tonight we had an amazing dinner & drinks.

Was a really nice seafood experience, a little noisy due to families and children. Not sure id allow kids due to experience and expensive dinning as its not the right experience. Food was fantastic and service was over the top in a good way.
