This restaurant is fantastic! Delicious food, lively atmosphere on bar side and softer on the dining side. We will be returning! However, they DO NOT accept Open Table reservations, so reserve directly through the restaurant.

Literally the worst experience we have had in Huntsville so far. Our entrees were borderline inedible. We didn't even take the time to send the meals back and have them remade because we were pressed for time and had to get back to our babysitter. I found out after the fact from some in the industry that the head chef had left recently. Maybe this visit was just poor timing.

I made the dinner reservation and was actually contacted by the restaurant to confirm my reservation. They had a wine tasting event scheduled for that evening with a very limited menu that I was not informed of. The only person that told me about the wine event was the valet. We left the restaurant and will not be back.

While a simple hamburger meal for a child (meat patty plus bun and fries) cost $20, the other entrees appeared appropriately priced and very tasty. Our waiter, Ryan, devoted his attention to our well being and he made our dinner more enjoyable. Visiting from our stay on Smith Lake, we happened upon The Bottle through a Google search and took a chance based upon the reviews. Our experience at The Bottle validated the reviews and we highly recommend the restaurant to everyone.

Wonderful experience! We ordered cocktails, appetizers, and entrees. The cocktails were perfect, the smoked fish appetizer was great, as were the ‘always’ unique crab cakes. The service was stellar (very attentive, timely), our entrees were delicious, and the wine list extensive enough to find the perfect complement to our meal. We always enjoy the Bottle, but Friday night was especially wonderful.

It was great! We had a new server but he did great! Tried the specials off menu.. those lamb chops were worth every penny! I cleaned the bone like a chicken wing! Sooo good! My wife got the salmon and I don’t even like salmon that much but it was great as well! Great experience and will definitely be back!

We moved to Huntsville in fall of 2020 and had heard good things about the Bottle. Our first visit met or surpassed all of our expectations when we visited on Mothers Day. The food was outstanding; the service was prompt, courteous, attentive and knowledgeable. A wonderful experience all around. We'll definitively be back.

The service wasn’t bad, but because it was Mother’s Day weekend I guess they were just super busy because we barely saw the waitress. When we did see her, the service was good. Also, we had several mix ups, like they brought us drinks meant for another table, and brought my meal twice. The food is good, and the drinks are good, and good location. Just wasn’t overall blown away, which I like to be for the prices you pay there
