Our first date night in months, we get sat at a half table with a view outside of a small and dirty window next to a large table, it felt very crowded. We tried so hard to enjoy ourselves. My filet mignon was over cooked, our server was amazing and he noticed and took it back for me. But my husband's pasta was way too 'lemony' and not reminiscent of the delicious meals we've had before here. We can cook delicious food at home, but we were looking forward to a dining experience. From the 'ambience' of our table (uncomfortable chairs as well) to the over cooked meals, I wish it had gone better.

I was seated…read moreupstairs in the back--kind of tucked away, not sure if that was intentional, but it made for a cozy spot. My waiter, Alejandro, was fantastic. Even though he's young, he was really attentive and on top of everything. Plus, he's very easy on the eyes, which didn't hurt! I ordered a glass of red wine, the Brussel sprouts, and the short rib rigatoni. The Brussel sprouts came out cold at first, but Alejandro handled it quickly. When they came back, it seemed like fresh ones had been added on top of the old batch--first bite was still cold, but the rest were hot and honestly delicious. The short rib rigatoni was the star of the night. Perfectly cooked pasta, tender short rib, and the fried garlic on top was my favorite part, it added so much flavor. Overall, everything was phenomenal. Great service, great food, and a really nice atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

You can order the pasta from the regular menu. Today, I had the soup, Italian Wedding Soup, as I was independently informed it was really good. And it was. The creamy broth with veggies, pieces of meatball and bits of spaghetti was really tasty. It was served with some garlic breadsticks. I think I would come back and get this same thing for lunch again. We ate on the patio. Our service was great. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. We had a very nice experience. I will be back and try that pasta too.

On a recent trip to Montgomery from Birmingham, we decided to try this place out. They are…read morecurrently sharing a space/kitchen with Prevail Coffee on Dexter Avenue. My guy called to make sure they would be open since it the week of Christmas. The guy on the phone, after answering that they were open, proceeded to text a menu and the address to us. Great customer service!!! Upon arriving, and after a little confusion as to how to place an order (due to the coffee shop staff), we ordered a meat lovers.com and a build your own with Alfredo base, bacon and beef. Both were personal sized. After a short week and the owner coming out to give us an update on our order, the pizzas arrived. They looked just as delicious as pictures had showed. They also tasted as good as they looked. The cheese was really cheesing, and had that mozzarella pull you see in movies and magazines. The toppings were fresh and flavorful. Both the red sauce and the Alfredo sauce were measured perfectly. The crust was a star and could easily be a meal by itself...it was just that good. The pizzas should come with a side of red sauce for dipping the crust in. The owner (I think his name is Cedric) came out , chatted with us, discovered we were from Birmingham, and apologized that we didn't get to visit his regular location as they are making some repairs. He was very down to earth and we encouraged him to look into coming to the Birmingham market. We could tell that he put his heart into his work and he has taught that also to his employees. I really hopes he looks in to branching out. He has something special with these pizzas. If you're in the area, please check them out. You won't regret it!

This included the pimento cheese board, wedge salad, entree, and small dessert. It is a tiny bit pricey for the size of the entrees, but was worth it for the private space, service, and quality.

It defies all logic of concept. It's not a restaurant, but it is. It's not a grocery store, but is.... It's not a liquor store, but... It's such an interesting evolution of business man. You could never just start something like this. It's just been percolating for a good while and just evolving along the way. They now are in the whole building they lease as the concept has grown. I love to see a family business evolve and grow! It's call Derk's Filet and Vine. I was thinking steakhouse when I heard we were going here. It is a butcher shop (slash) wine and beer store (slash) grocery store (slash) caterer (slash) that happens to also sell a wildly popular Meat and Three Caferteria Style lunch that lines up people sometimes in the hundreds. Insanity. My reasons for being here are even more insane to be honest. Nonetheless, I am so glad to have had the opportunity to see this place while I am still alive. The folks working here are fantastic! Super helpful and friendly. I dig some AL hospitality! I had never been to Montgomery before. My lunch was too freaking notch!! Yum. Yum! I'll be back.

Our server Olivia was very attentive and made some great suggestions for us out of towners. We decided to start with a Ceasar salad which they make the dressing in house, it had good flavor but i like added fresh pepper on my ceasar's. The croutons were also buttery which was a pleasant surprise. I had the mushroom ravioli, anything truffle infused is usually my go to. The ravioli had very good flavor, and a good balance of ingredients and truffle. The cream sauce was so delicious and I loved the added mushrooms, parm and parsley on top. My fiance got the midtowner. He said it was very good, he really enjoyed their in house bread. The bacon was perfectly crunchy and gave a good balance with the chicken and pesto aioli. We got a cannoli for dessert, it was also very good but I do wish they had a pistachio one! My only thing about the cannoli is I probably would have skipped out on the chocolate sauce. Overall very satisfying, especially after a few days of traveling!
