                        Reve is more than just food. It’s on a different level in terms of service, creativity, and execution of the experience they’re trying to create. We celebrated our 10th anniversary here and the staff made it very special for us. Their 10-course tasting menu was truly outstanding. So many highlights but my favorites were the caviar potato and the petit pois. We enjoyed the approachable nature of the food and staff. This restaurant is somehow just as at home here in Birmingham Alabama as it would be in the 6th arrondissement of Paris.

                        We had the most wonderful dining experience at Reve. The hostess called the day of our reservation and confirmed our dinner selection (10 course tasting menu), allergies, and even informed us of parking locations. Our server was so professional, friendly, and very aware of when to check on us. She was so informative and well versed in all of the courses in their preparation and the ingredients that were in all of the selections. The dishes were so well thought out, delicious, beautifully prepared, and each course perfectly complimented the course before. Each course flowed out so smoothly. It was perfect timing in between each course. The head chef and the pastry chef each came out to speak to us and carefully explained the course, the preparation involved, and the ingredients. The restaurant is very stylish. This is the perfect place for an incredible meal and the way that all fine dining should be!

                        Truly, a great experience! We were just looking to try somewhere new, but coming across this place has been awesome! We will definitely be back many a time. The service was impeccable, the food was absolutely wonderful and we really fell at home there even with the top notch cuisine. It didn’t feel stuffy or pretentious in anyway it just felt like a beautiful experience. We really enjoyed meeting the Chef, Jacob, and Kate the pastry chef. They are a delight, super knowledgeable, and super hospitable. Also, Callie, our waitress was wonderful as well. We highly recommend going to this top-notch restaurant here in Birmingham!

                        The immediate impression was one of a beautiful and cozy ambiance in the restaurant. The staff were courteous, attentive, kind, and accommodating to my dietary preferences and restrictions, and provided in-depth details about the tasting menu items and drinks. The chef prepared a selection of vegetarian and pescatarian-friendly options as a modification to the chef's tasting menu, which was amazing and delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Birmingham as a place for a tasty meal, beautiful ambience, and great staff.

We were grateful for this dining experience.
