   I'd have given 5 stars across the board, but the service was slow. It was very busy, but it always seems a bit slow there. However, the cocktails were delicious (Old Fashioned & Manhattan), the appetizers were generous & delicious (Charred Octopus & Watermelon Salad), the dinner was perfectly done (both had Tournedos au Poivre) and the sommelier was friendly and knowledgeable - helped us pick a perfect Bordeaux to compliment dinner. Desserts were good, just a notch below outstanding, but very good. We've eaten there several times and have not been disappointed.

    Bistro 218 is one our favorite restaurants. The food is always spectacular and the service is excellent. Love the vibe! We brought my sister who is visiting us from South Georgia there to celebrate getting to see each other for the first time in over two years. As always, Bistro did not disappoint. We had the Blackened Redfish and it was a spectacular dish. She loved it and so did we. It was a very special evening. Thanks to all the staff for great service and friendliness. See you soon!

    The food was prepared to perfection. Portions were perfect. I had the beef Wellington and my wife had red snapper. They were both wonderful. It was a great experience. We will go back again. The valet service was excellent as well.

    We were greeted with them acknowledging our special occasion. There was a placard on the table with well wishes. It seems many people use that restaurant for their special occasions. We even received a small glass of champagne to toast the occasion. We were pleased with the attention shown having been very disappointed at a nearby fine restaurant who totally ignored a big anniversary.

    Our anniversary dinner was a wonderful experience. The staff were so friendly. My wife and I will definitely return. My wife said that the crab cakes were the best she has ever eaten. Latoya was a superb server. Valet parking is a nice bonus. Highly recommended for a special occasion meal.

    Went to Bistro Two Eighteen to celebrate our anniversary. I let them know thru OpenTable when I made the reservation. They took it from there; making it a special meal for my wife and I. We were a little early for our reserved time, but taken right away to a secluded table upstairs with a special "Happy Anniversary" note. Castles, the sommelier, was very charming. He brought us a "toast" to celebrate the evening. We ordered the crab cake appetizer on the recommendation of our server and it did not disappoint. Mostly crab and very little filler. Light crust on the outside with a nice sauce on the plate. Entrees selected were the Blackened Redfish and the Red Snapper. Both were well prepared. My wife and I shared, and I can't tell you which I liked more. They were both so delicious. Bistro Two Eighteen treated us to a complementary dessert for the occasion. Again, we deferred to our server and chose the caramel mousse. It isn't on their normal dessert menu, but had an apricot puree and a pecan and apricot brittle that was incredible. Definitely a winning choice!!

    Two of the plates had food that was not warm. Told the waiter and he said he would tell the chef. It was disappointing because we live Bistro 218 and always get great food and great service.

    John was spot on and one of the best servers we've had to date. His recommendations were spot on from the pomme frites to the duck to the snapper (best of the best)! The sommelier after asking more details and was great with a nice cab choice to compliment our meal. Highly recommended!

    Everything was great. The food was amazing. We made a reservation for a birthday dinner. They sat us immediately to our table and had a nice birthday note at our table which was a nice touch. The service was quick. Our appetizers came out pretty quickly and there was a nice time in between our appetizers and our drinks. Our dessert was on the house for the birthday. It was all around a great experience.

    This was our first time dining here. The food was excellent. The drinks were creative and delicious. It has a beautiful interior. And is in the middle of the Central Business District. Our entire party was pleased with their meals. I would return again the next time I’m in Birmingham.
