About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Great for fine wines
Kick off your evening at Sullivan’s with a craft cocktail, whether you prefer our “Knockout” orange-pineapple martini, a “Smoldering” smoking mezcal mule, or an elevated pomegranate cosmopolitan. From there, dive into our mouthwatering bar bites (like our signature sliders or blue cheese chips), or settle in for more formal, equally delicious steakhouse fare. There’s a cut for everyone, whether you’re partial to the “cowboy cut” bone-in ribeye or a classic filet mignon. Pair your steak with crab-stuffed shrimp or a broiled lobster tail for the ultimate surf-and-turf duo.

There’s something in the air that makes Sullivan’s unique: an ambience at the intersection of luxury and cozy familiarity. Enjoy the swingin’ energy of our bar-centric atmosphere, soundtracked by the stylings of local musicians. You’ll be greeted by a staff who remembers you by name, offering personalized recommendations based on your typical favorites.

    This was our first visit to this establishment in celebration of my wife’s new job. I had requested a dozen white roses on OpenTable when I was asked if I had any special requests. I mistakenly assumed it would be taken care of at that point. I realize apparently there is not sufficient communication between OpenTable and the restaurants with whom they work. It’s my fault for not calling Sullivan’s directly to ensure this had been accommodated. I fully expected it to be added to my bill. Upon arrival, I did quietly mention it to the hostess, who gave me a nod of affirmation, and led us to our table. There we saw that a few rose petals had been scattered about. That was it. Not a giant deal, although I was embarrassed, and disappointed that my request had not been carried out, nor had anyone reached out to me directly to confirm. Secondly, I saw two different people in there with T-shirts and ball caps on. There’s a sign posted by the front door that reads “proper attire is required.” The sign is useless if there’s no one inside who enforces it. I was dressed in a suit and my wife in a nice dress and we felt it cheapened the ambience seeing people dressed like they were at Famous Sam’s. First, we had the oysters to begin our experience. There was a lot of grit. They need to be shucked better so there isn’t the risk of cracking a tooth while enjoying them. Next, I ordered the bone-in filet mignon which, unequivocally, is the best I’ve ever had. What I did not like was the dull steak knife that was served. I had to hack through it. All of this said, my wife and I will absolutely be back. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the food, grit notwithstanding, and the service was fantastic. I hope these comments can serve you in some capacity and we look forward to returning.

    Great food, we had ribeye steaks, Caesar salad for me and poke stack for my husband and wonderful creamy creme brûlée for dessert. Our drinks and bread came almost immediately and the service was spot on. The kind of service where they’re there when you need something but it doesn’t feel like someone’s looking over your shoulder. Absolutely loved our evening.

    Shawn did a great job with service by anticipating our needs and leaving us to talk but checking back. And besides he’s a good southern boy from Birmingham! Food was superb, steaks seasoned and prepared as asked. Good time for my father-in-laws 90th birthday!

    While the service at this restaurant was good, the overall experience was disappointing. The cleanliness left much to be desired — there was old dirt and leftover food under our table, and the air vent nearby was noticeably dirty. For an establishment positioning itself as upscale, the quality and presentation of the food were poor and did not meet expectations. With better attention to cleanliness and higher food standards, this place could better justify its upscale reputation.

    The bone in American Wagu very undercooked and had lots gristle. I ordered it medium rare came out purple and cold even on the edges. Gristle in a Wagu steak seems very odd. The other two steaks were good but overall the price for the overall experience is way off. Waiter was the best part, thanks Bruce.

    The four of us were there to celebrate our anniversaries. Bruce, our waiter, was very personable and made the evening a delight. We started the meal with the Caesar Salad, which was very tasty. We moved on to the filet mignon, which was cooked perfectly. One member of our group had the chicken, which also was an excellent choice. We finished off the meal by sharing the bread pudding and the cheesecake. The cheesecake for us was the clear winner. It was a wonderful evening and we look forward to our next visit.

    Absolutely loved the customer service. We went for our anniversary and placed rose petals on our table. Greeted us with Happy Anniversary. Complimentary champagne. And tended to us constantly in a timely manner. We enjoyed all of the food except for my wife's crab stuffed shrimp. They could have used more seasoning
