The main point of our trip to Birmingham was to see an exhibit at the art museum. However, we are…read moreearly rises (especially with the 1-hour time difference from home), so we had some time in the morning to fill. My wife determined that the local botanical garden opened by 7 a.m. (!) and was also free, so we opted to stop here before the museum opened later at 10 a.m. We made it here by around 7:30 a.m. A word of caution - the highway interchange nearby was nightmarish. We missed 2 turns (even with a navigation app running). I don't think it was just me. So be careful and add a few extra minutes to get lost. Once finally off they highway and through the final roundabout, we proceeded along a road bordering the gardens. On the other side appeared to be an expensive hotel and an upscale shopping / dining plaza. The garden was having some sort of plant sale, and crowds were apparently expected. They had traffic control cones in place, but we arrived early enough so that parking was still plentiful. When we left, it seemed like the lot had mostly filled up. The gardens are quite large. They are divided up into sub-areas and there is a large map posted about 100 yards inside the main gate. No paper maps were on offer, so I guess you can take a photo of theirs and use that. We first strolled to the Japanese Garden. We had this to ourselves until almost when we left. This area is quite large by itself. They have koi ponds, a tea house, etc. It was nice. We took an alternate path back to the map pavilion. From there, we explored other areas (mostly dedicated to specific flowers). Some of the terrain is hilly. We routed through the vegetable garden and eventually ended up back at the central formal rose garden. This was being watered periodically that morning and some of the brick paths in it were flooded. They seemed to have some satellite restrooms in remote areas, in addition to the main set near the gate. We spent almost 2 hours here and probably could have spent even more time, but we wanted to drive to our prime stop. If you have any interest in botanical gardens, this is a very worthwhile stop.

The roll had a little too much greens for my taste. For dinner I got the steak quesadillas. There were four pieces. The quesadilla steak was good and there was a flavorful jalapeño sauce in there. The quesadillas had a little kick. I really enjoyed it. Service was good albeit a little slow especially considering we were the only ones in there. Food took a bit to come out but I knew it was fresh. Very cool place inside. You can tour the distillery. They make all their own alcohol right there. I enjoyed my cocktail which was the book club.

The space was sensational, giving the atmosphere the warmth we were all wanting to share with the couple and I wanted to share a little bit about the evening with you! There were well over one hundred in attendance last night and although it may have been a larger crowd than usual for the space, it suited us very well. The layout of the home lends a hand to crowd movement and transitioning. The bistro tables out front served as a elegant extension of the space. The rolling welcoming lawn is perfection warmed up for little ones to play. Slideshows are such a big part of events these days and the Clubhouse is prepared. They have fully equipped projector from the second floor ceiling set to broadcast for all on the first story of the home. In what seemed like a flip of a switch we were moving right into the presentation. Speeches were given from the bottom half of the staircase. Lighting was exceptional. The main course worked well in a back room with guests transitioning through and back for a seated dinner. Thoughtful touches like the well appointed wine bar (another extension) off the main room show neither the Costa's nor the Clubhouse are stranger to a good party. I would highly recommend this space for your next event. Especially if you have guests traveling in from out of town. We traveled up from South Florida and much appreciated the authentic Southern hospitality. Thank you for a lovely evening!

However, I was mainly here for the drinks and games and I've got to say it was a lot of fun. The staff was checking in frequently to see if needed anything else, and helpful when we had some questions.
