    Came here on Sunday morning. Really attentive and kind service. The place was pretty empty but we were up early. They ask about dietary restrictions which is nice. The eggs are very fluffy but I would have enjoyed them with some pepper or chives on top. The conecuh sausage is a go to so I was glad they offered them. The grits hit the spot, but the standout was the sourdough toast. I'm not sure where it was made but it was just the perfect piece of toast. I would definitely step in again to try their other brunch items or dinner.

    Chicken salad wrap

    Came here for lunch. I ordered a wrap with a salad on the side. The food was pretty good--no complaints. The portions aren't huge, I'm pretty sure I ate every bite of my meal and had a clean plate in the end. Why I gave 3 stars is because this was the slowest service I've ever experienced in the United States. All the staff were super nice but mind-bogglingly slow for lunch service on a weekday.

    Been to Harvest Restaurant & Bar several times and each time was spectacular! I particularly enjoyed their brunch. Fourth Sunday brunch here is a thing and it's amazing!! You have to RSVP online for a spot but you pay once you get there. Valet parking and a complimentary glass of champagne or a mimosa was also included , if my memory serves me correctly. Warning , this review is way overdue , so some aspects of my experience may vary at this point. Okay, that was my disclaimer! The brunch is designed to be buffet style. It's on a much more classier scale. The spread is nicely set up and ranges from your choice of pastries, bagels, several breakfast meats, hashbrown casserole, oatmeal, omelets, cereals, fresh fruit , waffles, etc. The one downside was that the waffles were overcooked , so they weren't light and fluffy. Noone wants a hard waffle! The dining space isn't the biggest but you certainly don't feel like you're sitting on top of the other guests. You can have a conversation with your party without feeling like you have to yell. The atmosphere really sets the expectation for a good meal and a good time! That is exactly what you get here! HRB is attached to the ever so beautiful Redmont Hotel! A historic hotel in the heart of downtown Birmingham!!! All of the staff here are professional. The valet attendants are especially helpful and personable. I recommend this place for brunch, lunch or dinner! Or all three!!!! :)

    Sunday night in Birmingham we discovered a real gem! Cozy and comfortable ambience, our severs Paige and Robyn were super friendly, personable and fun.Good selection of wines by the glass, as well as craft beers and cocktails. We had the wedge salad and the burger, both were delicious! An excellent choice any time of day, definitely will come back when in Birmingham!

    I went for dinner and cocktails twice and breakfast while staying at the Redmont. The food overall tastes fantastic. The portions are small but this isn't a 5 Guy's. The chocolate torte is absolutely fantastic. I was too excited to get a picture of the beef tartare before tearing into it. The service is solid overall and the staff are friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance is upscale but chill. Only major bummer is that sometimes they're out of key ingredients for some of their cocktails. Overall pretty solid.

    Lee is the new executive chef and man is this place good! He brings a ton of experience from other Birmingham staples and combines it with a fantastic atmosphere. I will definitely be back! BTW, lots of homemade food.

    Fish of the day pretty but bland and overcooked.

    Really disappointing. I went in a Tuesday night. There was only one other table besides my table. The waitress was really slow. She was slow on greeting me and getting my drink order-and I didn't get my drink for a long time. The food was meh at best. The fish was slightly overcooked and pretty flavorless. She never came back to check on me after my first bite. The garnishments made the dish pretty but didn't make it taste any better. It also took a really long time to get a check. It was pretty disappointing compared to other places in the city. I'm still waiting

    Nice little restaurant build in to one of the older hotels downtown but very cute inside. Small ..maybe 15 tables or so but pretty with nice atmosphere. Food is good..we tried almost every appetizers and everyone in the party enjoyed them. Service was great. We had one person in the party who was vegan and the chef came out to offer some special choices which was nice. Ok started this review before the main dishes came..my son got the pork and did not like it so I switched with him and also did not think it was good. Fish was okay. So not overwhelmed with the dishes especially since there are so many nice restaurants around the area. Deserts were creative but just ok. So a solid 3 1/2 star

    Gorgeous bar

    I was in Birmingham for just one night, so I opted to have dinner at the hotel restaurant versus running around downtown. I mean, easy parking, no 'Bama sweat, what could go wrong? In a word: nothing. $5 happy hour wines, and $20 for a sautéed chicken breast with wild mushroom risotto. Win. Everything was excellent from the service to the food. The bartender let me sample the weekly cocktail gratis, we discussed his lack of 'Bama accent, I felt totally full but not at all stuffed. I can't wait to come back to Birmingham to stay here again!

The minute we walked in and heard the live music, we knew we were going to have a good time. The food did not disappoint. My mom and daughter both had the pasta--one swapped the crawfish for chicken and the other for shrimp--and both versions were delicious. Hubby had the steak and eggs, and the one bite he was willing to spare was surprisingly delicious too! I went with the fried green tomatoes and Brussels sprouts because I already knew I'd be helping myself to some pasta from their plates. We finished it all off with banana pudding and key lime pie, and both were the perfect ending. Great food, live music, good vibes, friendly server and a fun stop on the road home.

There was a guy performing live there, and the music was not so overpowering that you were unable to talk across the table. Very pleasant. Service was slow but it appeared they were understaffed. Order bowl of Gumbo for appetizers. We went on and provided our entree orders at that time as well. We waited about 25-30 minutes a different person brought out our order. I ask the server to take the gumbo back, as we had order that as an appetizer. In a few minutes our original server brought the gumbo back to our table. I told her we had ordered that as an appetizers, the server apologized and said it had gotten "Lost in the kitchen, keep it, I'll take care of it". About the food, wife ordered salad with chicken. The salad had 4 large fried chicken tenders on it. I order the sirloin tips over rice. Overall tasty, but gravy was a little salty. Dish included some green beans as well which were tasty. Overall experience was ok, service a little slow which I don't understand with the lower population in the dining room. When I got the check, the gumbo was still on the ticket. Not sure what "I'll take care of it " meant, not what I expected. I paid for it without saying anything else. Actually it was pretty good gumbo. Paid the bill, left a good tip, as the server seemed to be running her legs off. Going back? Probably so, but it'll be a while till I do.

It's kind of hard to tell what all the food options are, so I had to ask what some stuff was. I managed to get a meat and 2 instead of a meat and 5! There were quite a few veggie options that looked amazingly delicious! I do not recommend coming here hungry or hangry. Ok, sooo I love meat loaf so naturally that's what I got. I also got collards and cornbread dressing & yes they had cranberry sauce. Everything was good tasting. The meatloaf was a little sweet to my taste so I probably wouldn't order it again. The veggies were not over seasoned or overcooked. I will definitely comeback here bc there is still just so much I wanna try. The staff is nice and took care of the crowd. I even witnessed them give a person in need food, as they were about to dig in the restaurant's garbage can outside for scraps. Made me count my blessings.. all of them! There is street parking only. I didn't have any issues parking on a Sunday afternoon. The inside of this restaurant is not big but I was comfortable dining in.

Only about 3 people at a time can hold inside before it's starts getting crowded. It stay pretty busy. Options are 1 meat with two sides or 2 meats with three sides combination. A la cart is available as well. They have ice tea or lemonade drinks in a cup that they also serve you. Lemonade was good. There's a very small counter to pay after you order. Fry chicken is tasty with perfect crisp. Collard greens were seasoned well and perfect texture. Yams (my favorite) was perfect - flavorful, not too sweet and firm but not hard. Both of us thought the Black eyed peas looked really good but taste bland. I would have preferred it without the Okra. I didn't see that when I ordered. One in our group commented the meat loaf was good. The dressing was really good too - well seasoned and tasty. After paying there's a dining area for self seating. It serves the purpose to sit and eat but definitely could use sprucing up along with the restrooms. Please seriously consider! It would make the experience much more pleasant to enjoy their delicious food. I took off two stars for that reason and yes it's that unpleasant as the tables/chairs are also too clustered together. The chairs don't fit around the table properly. Overall good southern food at a reasonable price and recommended. Skip dining in if you don't have too. Just my two cents.
