Restaurants in Mountain Brook

“I go here almost once a week because its close to work, and food is always delicious and consistent. This is a quick pasta place, it is not fine dining, so manage your expectations. The owners are very nice and always helpful. If they mess something up they will fix it and go above and beyond for you. Simple pasta dishes with easy to identify ingredients. Open Kitchen, you know what you are getting. Portions are decent size and fresh ingredients. Also try the amazing tea assortment! I'm a big fan!Vegetarian options: everything I get is vegetarianParking: plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: unfortunately, pretty kid friendly lol ; )Wheelchair accessibility: very accessible”

“Came for casual early light dinner and that is exactly what I got. We ordered the Holy Moley and the Fish and Chips Bowl, both were fresh, crisp, and delicious. Service was phenomenal and I enjoyed music.”

“Our server Chris was exceptional and Aaron behind the bar did not disappoint (but he was raised right). Everything was so tasty and you can tell the kitchen was not afraid to season the food well. Put this on your "must visit now" list immediately.”

“Where do I even start?! First and foremost, as soon as you walk in you're greeted by the extremely kind person working at the register! The restaurant is a fast paced, casual, order at the register type of place. Service is super quick! The menu is slightly overwhelming I'll say because even for the DIY Poke bowl, I had such a hard time choosing sauces and toppings! Most of the sauces seemed foreign to me which I think if maybe on the menu they clarified what the flavor is supposed to taste like, it would make it easier for a noob, kinda like me! Overall the bowl ended up tasting delicious! I would definitely recommend this place and will be back as well.”

“What a beautiful cocktail bar! I absolutely loved both drinks that I had. The employees were attentive without being overbearing and we were able to just sit and chat and enjoy the lovely ambience.”

“Taziki’s always has great service and high quality healthy food. Great options!Parking: Parking with open spaces even on a Saturday night.Kid-friendliness: Healthy options in a nice relaxing atmosphere.”

“They were very busy for lunch on a Sunday, but service was efficient. All the food was excellent. The watermelon aqua fresca was fantastic. Look forward to trying their nashville location.”

“Authentic ruebens and many other delicious sammiches and eats! The best (and only) real deal, fresh made limeades in the city. One of the few remaining true soda fountains / sandwich shops around. Bustling and hustling during the lunchtime feedings. Fun and busy atmosphere for sure. Great folks at Gilchrests too - always the same dedicated, and super friendly staff at the helm. Must be how they have maintained such consistency and earned their loyal patrons!It's been a regular stop for me and my family for at least the past 40 years. We've all been raised together on Gilchrests limeades for multiple generations!! Yumsville indeed.”

“I used to go to their store at The Pizitz Food Hall for lunch. They always have good food.Vegetarian options: You can get some of the dishes without meat or with tofu as an option.”

“SUPERB .. The best and freshest ingredients, creative flavors, excellent service and most caring and friendly owner and staff.The best pizza anywhere in the state - hands down! This is a real compliment from a New Yorker!”

“I work for a highly respected law firm in Birmingham and we had the BEST catering experience from Bongiorno's last night. Tiz was incredible and owner, Ozzie, even came to help create a perfect evening. Quality food, quality service, and the best feeling of supporting a family-owned restaurant!”

“It's been a year since the first time I dined at The Gardens Cafe. I've dined here a few times since, but thought I'd add my most recent review via my local food review Instagram account, @eatingwithamybham A $20 fine dining experience. Birmingham Restaurant Week begins today. Local participating restaurants will be offering prix fixe menus thru March 3. I kicked off the week with lunch at one of my favorite participating restaurants, The Gardens Cafe. The Gardens Cafe is located at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens & is owned by local restaurateur royalty Kathy G & Co.. Their menu features elevated seasonal Southern favorites in a fine dining setting. The Gardens Cafe's Restaurant Week menu features a choice of entree & dessert for $20. I went with the Pan Seared Almond Crusted Rainbow Trout served over fontina cheese grits, sautéed green beans & classic picatta sauce with lemon, butter & capers. What a stunning presentation. It absolutely tastes as amazing as it looks! I find that trout has a mild, nutty flavor which paired exquisitely with the almond crust & lemony picatta sauce. The fontina cheese grits are silky & flavorful. A bite of the trout with the grits, sauce & briny capers was heavenly. The green beans were cooked perfectly & still had a nice snap. Dessert was Dark Chocolate Mousse with fresh berries & whipped cream. The mousse is decadent, yet light. Just right after a rich entree. The Gardens Cafe's atmosphere is beautiful. It's elegant, but not stuffy. Service is impeccable. Luther always takes excellent care of us, as does the rest of the staff. James, the chef, even came to say hello & made sure we were enjoying ourselves...& we certainly did! I didn't partake in the drink special today, but they're offering a choice of cocktail for $7. I recommend the French 75 (which I always make a "French 76" by asking that vodka be used in place of gin). I highly recommend adding The Gardens to your Bham Restaurant Week "must dine" list.”

“This place is my favorite! I go every year for my birthday. The food is phenomenal, the service is great, and the owner is amazing. He gave me a dessert to go on my birthday!Al Rabiee made my night!”

“Incredible food at a great price. Your kids will love this place. The service here is super friendly and helpful. They'll do what it takes to ensure you have a great dining experience. Ashley for example is 5 stars. Thanks Ashley.”

“Watkins is an incredibly charming Bourban bar and Brasserie within walking distance of The Grand Bohemian hotel. The high quality food and cocktails paired with chic decor make it the perfect place for a date or Happy- Hour with your friends. The food is delicious and complex. Highly recommend!”
