    Fall turkey melt and butternut squash soup.
    Letitia J.

    I got the fall turkey melt and butternut squash soup. It was SO good. I've been here a couple of times and every single time I have been here. I have had a really great experience. The servers were really nice and friendly. The butternut squash soup was really nice thick and creamy. I felt like the portions were just right and I did not feel like anything was too greasy. It is a great place to eat with your friend or significant other. I thought it was a very cool vibe and matched the name of the restaurant! Because this is located downtown, there is street parking, or there is a parking garage down the road where you can park.

    I came here for lunch to catch up with a good friend from high school who was home for the holidays! Wow, Brick & Tin and the entirety of Mountain Brook village were packed! Parking was a bit difficult on this day, but that's to be expected with the holiday shopping traffic. I love Brick & Tin. It's upscale Panera in the best way. Their brisket sandwich and soups are absolutely incredible. I always recommend this place if you're looking for a nice, fast-casual lunch. I got the farro half salad and added chicken. This was the perfect lunch. Great flavor, squash, some greens, farro to keep you full (I believe this is an ancient grain), I feel like I checked every box on being healthy for the day. The dressing is delicious and not overdone. They've got bar seating, two tables for larger groups, and then booth seating along the walls. It's a farm-to-table vibe in here, and the food certainly matches. I've never been disappointed by anything from here. I need to try out their downtown location next!

    It's been years since I've been to Brick & Tin and I'm so glad that I got to go back! They're a semi-casual dinner/lunch spot in Mountain Brook Village that has sandwiches, salads, and plates. They have seasonal menu items too, and I appreciate that they source certain items seasonally to ensure high quality, fresh ingredients! I ordered the Sesame Chicken Bowl and loved it! It had so many toppings that complimented each other well. It's well balanced with veggies, protein, and carbs and doesn't fall short of flavor! I really liked the chicken, it's lightly fried and had a sweet glaze. The staff were super friendly- our cups never lacked water and our food came out in a timely manner. I'm already looking forward to the next time I get to come back here! It's such a cute spot too!

    We've enjoyed eating at both locations a 1/2 dozen times and have never been disappointed. Seating is ample, except on Sundays, it's loved that much. Five outdoor tables that are perfect when the weather corporates. Soup & Salad Combo: Mushroom Soup "Yum" and Seasonal Farro Salad. Hearty but light, delicious combo and very refreshing. Sautéed Salmon: Crispy crust on presentation side, moist tender on the inside, served on a bed of Farro salad. Perfection. As always the Service was a snap and friendly. It will take another dozen time to partake of their wonderful offerings.

    Loved everything about this place! There was such a great atmosphere inside and loved the optional outside seating as well. They had a great selection of drinks on tap. The food was served quickly, everything was delicious, and the service was top notch. We grabbed an assortment of bakery items to go on the way out. OH MY WORD I wish I'd gotten more macaroons and jam cookies! Heavenly!! The lemon tart was also PERFECTION!

    Hadn't been to this restaurant in quite a while and had forgotten that it's such a great lunch spot in the Mountain Brook area. We were lucky enough to find street parking near the front of the restaurant. Orders are taken at the bar area and then you can locate a place to sit. Beverages and meals are brought to your table by the friendly workers. There's an eclectic array of items on the menu from which to choose. Several things stood out this time, including the sweet corn soup, sesame chicken bowl and the chic & tin. I should mention that all the breads are made fresh in the attached bakery. It's also worth a stop in the back for a tasty brown butter coconut cookie! Overall, this was a very good experience in a friendly and casual environment.... Will definitely be back!

    One star for the staff. I have been eating here for 11 years and noticed a major shift in the staff's friendliness and attentiveness.

    Brick and Tin has a great ambiance and offers a menu of elevated soups, salads and sandwiches. During sunny days, the outdoor seating gives the vibe of a European sidewalk cafe. Inside seating is modern and warm. Try the

High ceilings and exposed brick are a few of the ways to my heart. If you've seen a post about this place, you've probably seen a picture of the crackly round, artistic dish and wondered what it was. There are dumplings on the underside of it and you break each one off of the crackly part to enjoy. We did enjoy these but I would've loved a soy sauce to dip them in. They came with chili crunch, peanuts, and green onions but I wanted an actual sauce. They were very standard tasting dumplings and there was nothing extraordinary about them unfortunately. As always, we'd looked at the menu beforehand and decided what we wanted. It does state on their website that their menus can change due to freshness and availability. But we'd both decided on an app and entree we wanted only to get there and have none of them on the menu. I do appreciate a rotating menu to accommodate local items, but I would also love for those to be updated on a regular basis. So after rerouting, we decided on the chicken skewers as another app with the dumplings. These were chargrilled, flavorful, and had a nice crust on them. I got shrimp fried rice and Julia got spicy beef noodles. It was fine but I wish the shrimp wouldn't have been cut up. It felt like they chopped them up in order to not put as many in the dish. At $25 for this, I'd like whole shrimp please. There were a few pieces of raw spinach with pepper on the top. I would've loved a sauce of some kind. I would've preferred shrimp hibachi with fried rice from a Japanese place that included vegetables and sauces. This was not *bad* there was just SO much room for improvement. We both agreed that nothing was awful, but for these prices and the hype, we expected more. Our waitress was super friendly. Bonus points because they had match boxes at the host stand! There was a paid parking lot diagonal from the restaurant, so we had to walk through an intersection to get there. There are some spots up front if you can snag one. Overall, we enjoyed our time here but won't be sprinting back.

That's a huge plus; the number of times I've seen referees having to pass on the side because they didn't have utensils! The entree was a chicken pita. It did have a few fresh onions, but I enjoyed them since I didn't have to be the one dragon breathing around the field all day. We did have a choice of roasted potatoes or basmati rice. The potatoes went much quicker than the rice; I had the potatoes and they were fantastic. There was also a tray of chocolate chip cookies provided. I don't think they were frash made; they looked similar to other restaurants generic chocolate chip cookies. They were a nice addition to the lunch, though. They also provided sweet and unsweet tea in gallon jugs.

There was a bit of a wait before my order was taken, but honestly, it worked out in my favor because it gave me plenty of time to look over the menu. There were so many tempting options that it was honestly hard to decide! I ultimately chose three items and enjoyed a few bites of each. Ham & Fontina Scone: This was my first time trying a scone, and I was pleasantly surprised. The texture reminded me of a dry biscuit, but the ham added a delicious savory flavor that I really enjoyed. Frittata Plate: The frittata was SO good! It wasn't too dry, and all of the flavors worked really well together. It was served with polenta, which reminded me of really fine grits, along with fruit. After trying it, I realized that one entrée would definitely be enough for me to enjoy on its own. Breakfast 'ZA: This was essentially a breakfast pizza topped with a fried egg, and the egg was such a nice touch. The 'ZA itself was really good, although I think adding something similar to a gravy or sauce would make it a little less dry. Even without it, though, the fried egg really took it to another level. Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso: I decided to try the Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso, which was the barista's pick. This was my first time having a shaken espresso, and I'm so glad I gave it a try! It was refreshing and perfect for a hot day. The inside of Trattoria ZaZa is nice, although it is somewhat small, so I opted to sit outside. It was a very warm day, but the awning provided plenty of shade and made the outdoor seating comfortable. I also appreciated that, even though the restaurant doesn't have traditional table service, someone periodically checked on me to make sure I didn't need anything else. Overall, I had a great brunch experience at Trattoria ZaZa. There were plenty of menu options, the food was flavorful, and I really enjoyed trying a few things that were new to me. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying more of the menu!

And of course they had me at poke bowls. It's one of my top 5 things to eat, honestly. But I ordered a Buddha bowl because it's almost the same thing and I felt a little lazy to DIY (not to mention, the Buddha bowl looked tantalizing!) They have other veg options, but I set my sights on that bowl as soon as the friendly counter guy suggested it. It's overloaded with goodness--avocado, deliciously marinated tofu, edamame (yes, it's a protein-rich bowl), tomatoes, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, greens and more. You're literally devouring the rainbow here, friends. For drinks, they have a modest but decent selection of beer, wine (a decent bubbly in a can!) and sake in addition to soft drinks. The place is so beautiful (and spotlessly clean) with plants dangling from the ceiling and beautiful murals throughout. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd be here all the time.
