We've eaten dinner, breakfast and dessert in this restaurant and nothing here disappoints! Highly recommend the crab cakes, pork medallions and brussell sprouts! The desserts were so good! And all our wait staff were so nice! Thanks for making our stay so great!

I had the most amazing service I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant! Every single person here was exceptional—zero complaints, just pure appreciation.

While exploring food options in the mall, I was greeted warmly by the hostess. I smiled and, after considering my choices, decided to sit down for one of the best dinners in Alabama. Sharlyn, you are an absolute joy! Dining with you felt like coming home, and I can’t thank you enough for making my experience so special.

I initially had some doubts based on previous reviews, but I’m so glad I chose to come here. This was one of my most memorable meals, and I truly hope that the next time I visit, you’ve moved on to even greater things—you deserve it!

Thank you, Sharlyn, for your outstanding service. It was a pleasure meeting you!

We're staying at the Hyatt overnight and decided to have dinner here tonight. We read some of the reviews and were a little reluctant. I'm so glad we decided to try this establishment. Our server Latauren (I hope the spelling is correct) forgive me if it's not. She worked the evening shift on Wednesday April 10, 2024, she was so helpful, friendly and professional with assisting us. Answered all our questions and was always checking on us. We had the crab cakes for an appetizer then the ceasar salad with shrimp. Also the smash burger with grilled onions and french fries. Topped it off some carrot cake for dessert. What an amazing dinner from the cook that evening, we will make sure to stay and eat here again when we're in town again.

Today Easter Brunch was exceptional ? the choices of breakfast options were delicious. The chief Patrick and Bob were both over the top... it's not everyday to be serviced by a chief not one but two. The attention to detail was amazing ?. We wanted to try something different for Easter this year and the staff made this brunch a special memorable occasion for my Mother and Aunt.

We were staying at the Hyatt Regency because of its proximity to the airport and had dinner at this nice, tucked-away little restaurant. A special shout-out to our server Latarren! She was both attentive and efficient, brought menus and food promptly, and noticed when our glasses were empty. She was the kind of server we always hope to get -- knowledgeable and personable, without being pushy. Thanks, Latarren P., for making our last night in Alabama such a nice one!

It took way too long for our food to come out.The fried chicken has no flavor and it's a small piece of chicken breast. It only comes with 1 piece of chicken. The service was extremely slow inside as well.

While staying at the adjoining Hyatt Regency - The Wynfrey Hotel, we had our dinner here. Very welcoming reception when we entered. Menus produced quickly and drinks order taken and served without delay. Food order take and the food, when it arrived, was well=presented and delicious. My wife is Gluten Free and, for once, this did not cause any problem. There was only one slight problem and that was the time it took for our food to arrive. I appreciate that the food was all freshly cooked but it seemed to be longer than you would normally expect.

Breakfast with a girlfriend this morning. The $23 buffet is what you want. Plenty of bacon and sausage. The fruit, mainly the pineapple, sweet. The grits were good and the jam for my toast was full of strawberries. Staff was friendly and constantly at our service. We weren't guest at the hotel but if you are, you may get "coupons" for breakfast with your reservation. Enjoy!

I would give zero stars if I could the bar tender guy is absolutely rude and has no people skills. I was there about 2 months ago and my girlfriend is there tonight she is very turned off by the way the bar tender is acting. The prices for the drinks and food are extremely expensive and if I'm going to pay high prices I expect good customer service. Please listen and fire this bar tender. We love the hotel but hate to eat or have drinks at the bar because of him.
