"This place needs a serious corporate management intervention. We arrived to a vacant hostess stand, and nearly a vacant restaurant (no surprise) after all surrounding restaurants had long lines to get in. After a couple minutes she took us to our table. Nearly 10 minutes later, we hadn’t seen a server so I flagged down the hostess who then approached one of the servers across the room. After a short discussion, they parted ways and no one came to our table. I told my wife that I couldn’t live with myself if we sat through this and spent money here, so we got up and left. Ridiculously poor service and the restaurant itself was filthy, including the restrooms. Sit back, Birmingham, and watch this one either close down or change hands soon. Awful."

On November 8, the restaurant was closed and empty. I recommend removing it from your list.

The restaurant was closed for business. OpenTable should remove this establishment from its listings.

Based on the number of diners in the restaurant on a Saturday night, I must be one of the last folks who really like this place.

The restaurant wasn’t even open during my visit. I went there with my date, only to find it permanently closed. I wish OpenTable had informed us.

The food was delicious but the waiter was terrible. We had stopped going to Macaroni Grill for a long time due to bad service but thought we would give it another try. Well no change! Disappointing. View menu

Waitress untrained. Ask about Happy Hour. Told specials, ordered, drinks delivered and found out you had to be at the bar. Limited beer selection and waitress didnt know what they had. Long periods of server disappearing. Food cold. Restaurant was not crowded.

the total service and food delivery were very slow. we had a party of 12; but our waitress seemed to have other tables. even if the restaurant did not overcrow food delivery was slow with about 10 of our 12 received eating in the round simultaneously. the other two seemed either not to have been missed with the original order or by the kitchen. these two meal times came when the other 10 were finished, and the server did not excuse or recognized the error. with the original 10 were some of the meal cold until they were delivered.

"If there is a restaurant that is a Birmingham institution among the wealthier crowd, there is literally only one name that locals would bring up, and it is undoubtedly Highlands. Not that there aren't other nice restaurants, but this spot has proven itself over time and is ran by a chef that most Alabamians are quite proud of. Opened in 1982, Highland's is a place that put Birmingham on the map in a positive way at a time when the post industrial iron period was about to wind down and transform the city. Frank formalized his cooking techniques by working in kitchens of San Francisco and France, creating a medley of American Southern and French cuisine that is difficult to find elsewhere. It was not a time when it was common to see a chef from Alabama going to study cooking in Europe, thus the story was already an anomaly. Frank Stitt was trying to pioneer sustainable agriculture and farming well before anybody in Alabama knew what in the world that actually meant or for that matter, cared. One of the signature items is the baked grits that has been around since the restaurant opened. It's a tasty grits preparation and without a doubt, something to try. The pheasant was spectacular, fairly lean and with a crispy delicious skin, served with grits and green beans. Pastries here are created by Dolester Miles, who has been in the job for well over 30 years. The opera cake is absolutely spectacular, gentle and complexly layered. The basque cake is peachy and moist, with a crispy delicious exterior and Chantilly cream. Not only are these likely the best desserts to discover in Alabama, but may be some of the best to be found in America. The attentiveness got derail was clearly evident. As far as service, generally fine, but not particularly attentive. The waitress did not seem in much of a mood to welcome people to the establishment. Many items on the menu were running out by 8:30pm on a Saturday night. Nobody was particularly impressed with the flounder that got substituted for the grouper. And then there are other questions, why would you run out of grits? They know they are always filled to capacity and ingredients to make grits are not immediately perishable. Highland's has by this point in Birmingham's history become a classic. It's evident that most people here have been around for decades working at their jobs and serving the rich crowds of Mountain Brook. It's a place of great food and shows many combinations of ingredients that are nearly impossible to find elsewhere, let alone be executed this well."
