    David, Victoria, Rell and Anna were perfectly accommodating. I am greatly appreciative of their assistance with the a dinner that was held there recently. They did everything and more to help to make my mothers birthday great! Thank you so much to the staff for your patience, kindness and graciousness! The food was awesome as always and the atmosphere was splendid as well.

    The brunch was cold and seemed like it has been sitting out for a while before being served. We also had a server who was very much trying to rush us out.

    Food was mediocre, at best, service was slow, music awful. We will not return, it was just a lackluster experience and not a place we enjoyed or intend to visit again. My salad was missing a topping, husbands fried chicken was burnt and daughters meal lackluster. Server was nice but service was slow and not engaging. We have been excited to try this place but will my return. There are too many excellent restaurants in Birmingham to visit here again.

    The food was good but it turned out to not be a good place to take my elderly mom due to the loud music. We sat in the back room but she still could not hear us talk and we couldn't hear her soft voice. I had been told that the regular brunch menu would be available but only a portion of it was available so we didn't get to order what we wanted. But the food was good.

    Always enjoy the atmosphere here. Fried green tomatoes are amazing! Server was very friendly but had trouble with details. Ordered the burger specifically medium-medium well. Came out medium. Server had cleared silverware from appetizer but didn’t return w/knife so couldn’t cut burger in half and had to wait to catch his eye. He also took my drink before finishing & brought the wrong one to my son. Fries too salty for my liking. Still enjoyed the evening and will return again.

    Food was fantastic. Our waiter did a great job educating us on the menu and what his personal preferences were since we had never been there before. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. Although food was great, it seemed to be a little overpriced for what you got. The fried airline chicken breast was really good over the pasta and greens, but $30 seemed a little high not to include a salad or another side. Otherwise, nothing but positive reaction from our party of 8.

    Upon entering the establishment I was greeted by all smiles, from the host to the bartender. It was like they were happy I came, I almost thought I was at Moe's . I had read that you can bring your four-legged family member if you sit on the patio so that is where we dined ( I also had confirmed via phone call Ann or Anna assured me). My server Tyler was amazing, he informed me of their "Happy Hour" specials and made amazing suggestions. Let's just say I am a fan of their Fried Green Tomatoes and Banana Peppers FOR LIFE! My dog enjoyed his bowl of water and I took a chance on the lemon drop martini with a sugar rim. For my main dish I ordered the Farrelly's Pasta and being from the north I'm pretty picky but they did not disappoint. It was seasoned perfectly, you even have the option to add a protein so I chose grilled salmon which took it and me to another level. Needles to say I could not eat it all but I am looking forward to my leftovers tonight for supper. We will be back soon to enjoy the people, the food, and the relaxing patio.

    A server took forever to take our order although we were next to a booked table of 2 in the same section. The manager gave us free French toast which was a great start to rectify the situation. You didn’t even need the syrup. Another issue is that they made my order twice and it was still wrong. The server tried to argue with me when I was actually right about the food I ordered. It was a crazy experience.

    The filet was very small and had a bit of gristle. We ordered a side of spinach, which I assumed was family style. It was very small - one person for $6. The service was also a bit slow, but I think there were just not enough servers. A bit disappointing. We will probably go back, but I will not order a steak or side again.

    Loved the enclosed seating for a party of six. Very cleaver on making it look like the inside of a bank vault. Server was excellent. Loved the Swiss chard- something not frequently found on a menu of a nice restaurant.

    Food was better than I expected. Service was lack luster. Food runner basically just set our food down rather hard and walked off. I would go back because I enjoyed the food and would hope for just a little better service next time.

    The restaurant was bigger inside than I thought from their website. Our server was very fast and efficient. It felt almost too quick. We had 8 people and we were done in just a little over an hour. It felt a little too rushed. But, it was very nice and we all enjoyed it.

    The appetizer in the main course were very good. Ordered a Caesar salad. Not sure what kind of salad it was, but definitely was not a Caesar salad. I asked the waiter about a menu item and his response was it’s really bad not worth ordering. The waiter was nonresponsive, and basically just going through the motions will not return
