Thankfully, our server was able to explain everything and made it easy to understand. I ordered the egg rolls, wings, pretzels, bacon Brussels sprouts, and a margarita. The Brussels sprouts weren't pictured, but they were SO good! Everything came out fresh, hot, and surprisingly quick. The drinks were also perfect and came out quickly. The wings were good, just a little on the thicker side, and the ranch was AMAZING! It had a different flavor than your typical ranch, but it was really good. Even though the restaurant was super crowded and busy, our server did a great job making sure both myself and my guest were taken care of. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back!

Seated immediately by the Friendly staff. After a bit of trying to decide, I settled on the Basically Famous Fried Chicken Finger Plate with side of Regular Tots (instead of the Parmesan Truffle) and Street Corn. I had intended to save a couple of the chicken pieces and some of the tots for lunch the next day. But it was so good I ate it all! Even though parking can be a little challenging at the SoHo area, I consistently can find an available space in the underground parking garage. While I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch, they need a lunch menu with smaller portions and pricing for me to come back more often.

I notoriously hate mushrooms but I absolutely devoured the crab stuffed mushrooms - 10/10 dish!! The service was excellent, there was plenty of parking, and the ambience is upscale but not stuffy.

The focaccia was outstanding - crunchy outside and fluffy inside with whipped butter - don't skip this. (5) Shrimp cocktail was good, would've loved cocktail sauce instead of the sauce they served. (I could've asked for it I'm sure, I just didn't.) (20) My prosciutto wrapped scallops atop roasted red pepper risotto was divine and as decadent as it sounds. The arugula on top added a fresh crunch and the beurre blanc sauce was light but creamy. I would absolutely get this again. (47) Julia got the salmon oscar featuring lump crab meat atop grilled salmon with asparagus and fingerling potatoes. She said it was delicious but could've used more asparagus and potatoes. (48) We both enjoyed every bite of our meal but thought the prices were on the higher side. We would absolutely return but maybe for a special occasion next time. Parking is no issue, our waitress was extremely kind and helpful. We had a reservation and it was pretty crowded for a weeknight so I don't think I'd brave it without one. We loved it here and will be back!

The meat and three today was meatloaf which was very airy light and had BBQ sauce on it. I also had…read morefried okra, and collards which were delicious. The service is also fantastic. The cook's name is Joseph and he knows how to season. My only complaint was that it's a bar at night so still smoke filled during the day. I noticed a LOT of outgoing orders. My husband couldn't smell the smoke until we got into the car together, but I have asthma, and I could. He had meatloaf with black-eyed peas and collards. No seasoning needed! And it was $7 and change-we will go back. This is my second visit. It won't be the last.

The first time we waited around 15 minutes at a table before anyone acknowledged us, and the second time was basically the same experience sitting at the bar. Friendly service definitely wasn't the strong point here either. That said, the food honestly saved this review from being much lower. The wings had a fantastic sauce with great flavor, the fried pickles were crispy and addictive, and the fried green tomatoes were genuinely delicious with a really solid batter. Even the beers were ice cold and crisp, which fit the vibe perfectly. The biggest issue is that the pricing feels a little high for the overall experience and environment. If you're charging those kinds of prices, the cleanliness and service really need to match it better. If you're coming strictly for fried bar food and cold beer, you'll probably enjoy it. Just don't expect attentive service or a polished atmosphere.

Since I didn't see any other open establishments, this is a mystery to me. 2. Service 3/5 - Our purses were checked at the door by a security guard with a very big gun on his side. Our server ignored our table. Another server saw us sitting for about 10 minutes or so and stepped in. She did an excellent job, and we appreciated her service. A 20% gratuity was added to each of our four checks. This was not mentioned in advance, and we did not see it posted. 3. Food 4/5 - The catfish was divine! It was well seasoned and melted in my mouth. The sides offered were limited. I wanted the fried green tomatoes, but they were a premium side with a $4.50 upcharge. I went with the sweet potato fries with powdered sugar and brown sugar (it was supposed to melt on top of the fries, but it did not). They were something to put on my stomach. 4. Environment 2/5 - This is also a Hookah bar. When we arrived, they were smoking outside on the patio, but later someone was smoking inside. I will pass on this restaurant the next time I am in Birmingham.

For entree, I ordered the Blackened Wild Louisiana Redfish, and I would definitely get it again! The blackened seasoning was perfection, and I thought that the fried okra were well done too. We also tried a dessert that I can't remember the name of - it was chocolatey, creamy, and delicious! I really liked the atmosphere - a good combo of formal while being unstuffy. We brought some family that was in town, and we were definitely pleased with the experience!

Food first, thoughts after... My husband and I went here…read morerecently for date night. Everyone was friendly from the greeter to our server. We were seated at a 2 person table with a window view. Tight corner but still very intimate. The overall restaurant vibes were bright and fresh. We got 3 apps and 2 entrees. The octopus dish was delicious. Brussel sprouts was covered in a rich sweet sauce. We're a savory couple so not too interested. The pork belly was cooked well and topped over grits with an egg on top. Wow! My husband got the duck confit and I got the streak frites. Overall the sauces on both were way too salty so it was hard for us to eat and finish. Reasonably priced as we got 4 drinks, 3 apps, and 2 entrees totaling a little over $200. Overall I still have a great time with my love but unfortunately I don't think we will come back.

Amazing food, amazing vibes, and amazing service from start to finish. And don't let the name fool you if you're like me and don't eat steak. There is SO much to love here. The burrata and Caesar are fantastic starters, the lobster rigatoni is incredible, and the chicken Milanese is insanely good. You genuinely cannot go wrong with the menu. Our waitress, Anna, was fantastic. She was attentive, friendly, and made an already great experience even better! This most recent visit was another home run. They had a trial dessert on the menu, a lemon tiramisu, and it was hands down the best dessert I've had in a LONG time. Seriously incredible, and I really hope they make it a permanent menu item because I would come back specifically for that. Little Betty is one of those places that just consistently gets it right. We've been several times and have yet to have a bad experience. Birmingham is lucky to have a restaurant this good. Absolutely recommend!

I have dined at several Perry's Steakhouse locations over the years, and this was, without…read morequestion, the worst experience I've had. My friends arrived about 15 minutes before I did and were seated on the patio. When I arrived, the hostess escorted me to join them. We reviewed the menu and waited for our server to greet us, offer water, or take our drink order. That never happened. After sitting there for more than 35 minutes, not a single employee acknowledged our table. No server stopped by, no one offered water, and no one checked to see if we had been helped. We were essentially invisible. I finally had to get up and speak with the hostess, who immediately moved us inside. The manager came over, apologized sincerely for the oversight, and offered us a complimentary appetizer, which I appreciated. While he handled the situation professionally once he became aware of it, it should never have reached that point in the first place. What was most disappointing wasn't the wait--it was feeling completely ignored. At a restaurant known for its exceptional service and premium dining experience, being overlooked for over half an hour without even a glass of water is unacceptable. I've always had excellent experiences at other Perry's locations, so this visit was especially surprising. Unfortunately, this experience has left a lasting impression, and I will not be returning to this location.

Attentive, knowledgeable, and well-paced without ever feeling intrusive. The atmosphere was one of the highlights of the evening. The historic home setting creates an upscale dining experience that feels elegant without being overly formal. Adding to the charm was the background music. The selection of 1920s-1940s big band music fit the setting perfectly and gave the restaurant a timeless feel that enhanced the entire experience. We started with the Pimento Cheese Fritters and House Pepper Jelly. The fritters were crunchy, cheesy, and flavorful. The pepper jelly paired nicely and was one of the highlights of the meal. Bread service with butter was included. It was fine, but fairly average. The surprise star before the entrées was the soup of the day, a combination of collard greens, black-eyed peas, Conecuh sausage, and chicken broth. Comforting, flavorful, and distinctly Southern, it was excellent and something I would gladly order again. For cocktails, we ordered the Banana Rum Old Fashioned and the Golden Paper Plane. Both were well-balanced and enjoyable. My wife ordered the Lobster Ravioli. The presentation was beautiful, and the cream sauce and sausage worked well together. The dish was rich and satisfying, though it could have used a little more salt to bring everything together. I ordered the Short Rib Pot Pie. The presentation was excellent, but the flavor did not quite justify the price point. It was good, but not memorable. For dessert, my wife ordered the Banana Pudding. The presentation was excellent, but we both felt it could have used a little more sweetness. I ordered the Bourbon Pecan Bread Pudding, and it was outstanding. Rich, warm, flavorful, and easily the best thing I ate all evening. The bourbon, pecans, and vanilla ice cream came together beautifully. If you visit, save room for dessert and order this one. Galley & Garden delivers excellent service, a beautiful atmosphere, and thoughtful presentation throughout the meal. While a few dishes fell short of expectations for the price, the overall experience was enjoyable and made for a great pre-anniversary celebration.
