I got what I've had a few times that I really like the chicken tacos. It comes with some sort of corn slaw and black beans. My date got this steak frites. Both were very delicious. Our server was very attentive. I did not catch his name. He did say that the meatloaf there and his mom's meatloaf for his two favorites but we decided not to get the meatloaf. My boyfriend's son got the fish and chips and he really enjoyed that as well. I did visit the bathroom a few times and it was very clean. They had someone playing music on their guitar and they were really good again didn't catch his name either. It took me a few times to like this place, but I'm really enjoying it now if you're going to come on the weekends again, I suggest making a reservation.

I do have to say it's definitely a date night type restaurant, and worth going to. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was the amount of tv's in such a nice, yet expensive restaurant. I guess I wasn't opposed to it, but I was there for a birthday dinner not a tv in my face.

We had the matzoh ball soup and the lentil soup, with a side of hummus and pita. First... That pita was the most amazing Pita I've ever had! However, I will say that the soups and the hummus were a little on the bland side. You definitely have to take advantage of the hot sauce that they bring to the table made from Serrano peppers. I also never add salt to anything... However, I had to add salt to both of the soups. Still... Definitely would recommend and definitely will be back!

The sauce was luscious and velvety, even if it showed up tonight with a mild personality. I kept waiting for the heat to clock in for its shift, but apparently it had PTO approved. Still delicious though. The vegetable samosas were crispy on the outside with that delicate, comforting filling inside. No notes. Just solid. And the garlic naan? Dangerous. I told myself "just one more bite" at least seven times. It's garlicky, soft, and basically a carb trap I willingly fall into every visit. Now... the service. Let's just say if attentiveness were a spice, it was left in the kitchen. Our waitress vanished for extended periods like she was filming a documentary about the back of the restaurant. No check-in, no "how is everything," no interest in whether we were thrilled or quietly combusting. It felt less like dining and more like self-guided Indian cuisine. Food: still outstanding. Service: spiritually elsewhere. Four stars because the kitchen deserves it. The front of house might need a little masala of its own.

This is a spot with a heavy regular rotation. The people of Mountain Brook/Vestavia are here for dinner. It's a specific crowd. Service was great, the waitstaff is very friendly and on top of things. My dad ordered the "Magic City Manhattan" -- I'm not normally a dark liquor person, but I thought this was fantastic. I think it was the pecan liquor which made it so good. We split the muscles appetizer, which was great. The broth was so warm, garlicky, acidic, perfect. Love. And the bread that came with was great, too. If I'm being picky, the bread services' butter could've been more room-temp and easier to spread. But that's me being extremely picky. We ordered the lamb chop entree to split, too. Again, great. This is a fantastic spot if you're not looking to travel downtown for dinner. Easy menu, crowd pleasing. Definitely suited for an older crowd, which can be harder to find in the downtown spots.

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.

I was so impressed with the food that I sent photos to my son and recommended he give it a try. Great food, friendly service, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere. I will definitely be back!

The gentleman even had his finger in his ear trying to hear his lady over the music. Eventually, they got up and left -- they were having the same experience I was. The music was on full blast at midday. I politely asked the gentleman at the counter if he could turn it down a bit, and his response was a very clear and concise "no" lol. So if concert-level sound decibels aren't your thing, I'd recommend ordering your food to go and waiting outside until it's ready. To be fair, I've been here at other times and this wasn't my experience, but it definitely was today.

They take absolute care and pride in everything--even the eggs were extra tasty and their breakfast sandwiches....yum. Most of the pastries are made with sourdough (except danishes, cookies, muffins). And they are top notch. Tender, buttery, flavorful, no skimping on anything. Just plain delicious. Bought more to save for afternoon coffee. The Friday offerings of challah, rye, and bagels are not sourdough but made with great care--even the bagels are made using tangzhong and cold proofed for 48 hours. Even those who do not emote about food and those carefully counting macros and calories in our family were impressed, vocal, and eagerly finishing off all of the offerings, sweet and savory. And great service!

They have both indoor and outdoor seating, although the indoor seating is very tight or at the bar. While we were there, it started raining, so everyone outside came in and mostly had to stand around. We got two sandwiches as a to go order, and it took about 45 minutes. So, if you need food fast, I would not suggest this place. The sandwich itself was a build your own, and came with Ruffles type chips. The sandwich was good, and all the ingredients tasted fresh! My total after tax and tip was about $16. Interesting ambience inside, as the indoor seating and ordering area was pretty dark having red lightbulbs everywhere. Overall, I would recommend this place, but maybe not for large parties or a quick bite to eat.
