The Fire Steak house food and service is beyond amazing, and worth the price. The staff recognize you from the time you enter and continue the one-on-one service as they make sure you have everything promptly at your table. Upon leaving the women are given a red rose. Such a wonderful added staple of excellence along with imported chocolates for two.

The food is fantastic. Best kept secret in Bham. All the service is great . The waitress we had, Alyssa, was as good a waitress as I have seen in a long time.

The cuisine is always excellent at Bistro V. The gumbo was especially delicious—some of the best I’ve ever had outside of New Orleans! Catherine was our bartender/server & did a great job with not only the cocktails, but also with food recommendations.
