"I visited this restaurant a couple of weeks ago while I was in Birmingham. The host was incredibly friendly and attentive, making a great first impression. I really appreciated the atmosphere and enjoyed the outdoor seating. The staff was very helpful in guiding me on what to order. The cauliflower bites were exceptional! I have to mention that I was hoping the gentleman who seated me would be my waiter. He mentioned that he doesn't serve at the restaurant, but I truly think he would be an excellent fit for that role with his charming personality."

Grabbed quick lunch here on a Monday. They were slightly under staffed but still as attentive as possible during the busy lunch rush. Chicken Parmesan Sandwich was VERY good. Very large piece of chicken and the marinara was amazing.

The pizza was delicious and larger than we anticipated! We ordered the thin crust and ended up with some leftovers. The atmosphere was fantastic, especially sitting outside. The drinks were great, and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend this place! View menu

Excellent pizza at a reasonable price! There's definitely enough to share. The queso dip was delicious, and the pizza was fantastic! Additionally, they allow you to order half and half on their pizzas (as long as the base sauce is the same), making it an even better deal!

This is my go to spot for happy hour. They have great deals. I also love that it's pet friendly (free apps on Thursdays with your dog) on Wednesdays they have half off bottles of wine. I really Like their red wine. Sundays they have brunch. $8 mimosa pitcher. The beef nachos and toasted raviolis.

Great, casual, relaxed atmosphere with a fun, eclectic ambiance and nice, laid back service. The portion sizes are very generous. The food is good- the baked feta appetizer is a must! Perfect place to pop-into and grab a pizza, or salad- great spot for a quick lunch or relaxed dinner. Definitely check it out! View menu

I thoroughly enjoyed this charming little Italian restaurant located in an old service station. We stopped by for lunch on Saturday at 1:30 p.m., and it was quite busy, which is always a good sign. We ordered a salad with grilled chicken and a stromboli, both of which were delicious. The salad featured fresh greens and spinach instead of just iceberg lettuce, and it was nice and crunchy. We definitely plan on returning!

During our visit, I opted for the Italian beef sandwich, which looked delicious but had a bit too much fat for my liking. My husband went for the chicken parm sandwich, which was enormous, and our son chose the meatball sandwich. We ended up taking half of each sandwich home, as they were quite filling. All the sandwiches were served with a generous portion of fries. I would definitely return the next time I’m heading to the airport.

"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."
