"1st visit had opening cocktail Moonshine Bar rye and rocks, daughter had Apple Manhattan, both expertly done. Friendly flamboyant bartender and doorman were fun. Beautiful view, city lights and fire pit on rooftop bar, lots of pictures and fun even though it rained. Then wonderful dinner at The Yard with Jordan waiting. Black Drum fish market selection with smoked yogurt and yellow caviar wonderful firm, buttery with touch of smoke. I had panko breaded pork chop with roasted red pepper coulis, cambezola cheese, and pickled red onion arugula salad. Huge portions. Rich, tangy and crunchy spicy tomato vinegrette arugula topping w cheese. Wow wow wow. Ended with John Emerald Malt Whisky, decaf, and espresso creme breulie. Nearly flawless evening, friendly staff, classic surroundings gave us memorable fun evening. We'll be back. You have to try this place."

good experience with the wine tasting. the wee were excellent and well paired with the food. eating was quite tasty, although it wasn't hot as the table served; that was my only disappointment for the evening.

I've never been disappointed here. We enjoy sitting at the high table in the bar area. My wife ordered the Wagyu beef, while I had the drum fish, and both dishes were excellent. Although they offer valet parking, I prefer to park for free on 1st Avenue North near the restaurant. View menu

The good: The burger was excellent, the staff were kind people, and the space is attractive. The bad: Even though there were few other patrons the whole time we were there on a Fri night, there were multiple unavailable items on a menu that was limited and not reflective of what was posted online. The sweet young waiter was not trained to be able to describe the food on the menu and lacked basic food vocabulary. Though the waiter and chef tried to be accommodating, there's a glaring management problem there reflected in the almost empty dining room.

The Thanksgiving Buffet was not the quality for which we had hoped. I’m pretty sure the creamed corn was from a can and the dressing tasted like stove top stuffing from the 70’s with pears added. The Brussels sprouts were soggy with water and had no flavor; I could not eat them. They had desserts that were not house made and the pumpkin pie crust was burned, bread pudding was very dry with no sauce. The only salad offered was finely diced beets with a small amount of cheese. We suspected the beets were canned and if you don’t like those there wasn’t one more salad option. And the gravy was runny like water and tasteless. I think they could have attempted to do much better. The Yard for Thank...

"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."
