    Soggy fries
    Benjamin C.

    Not very good at all, unfortunately. Decent wait time to order at the cash register, soggy truck fries, weak churrasco steak plate with mushy bed of rice and bland flavors. Steak was thin cut, oversalted flank steak (cheapest kind). The plating was not very appealing, in addition to the taste. Table next to us didn't approve of the soggy fries either. I won't be back. Unless this place steps up its game big time, it won't be open for long. The upside - tremendous opportunities to improve.

    When you arrive at Cantina, you order at the front. When we went I only saw one man taking orders, serving food, and helping customers. He was extremely nice and they weren't overly busy but it was definitely more than a one person task. They were accommodating of me wanting to exchange my mashed potatoes for fries. The food took a while to come out which was expected since they were more than likely short staffed. I was unfortunately disappointed by the food. The salmon was very well cooked but there was no flavor. It was not seasoned. The garlic fries seemed like they were tossed into raw garlic. I love garlic but this was too raw for fries. My friend got the churrsaco steak and was not impressed. I thought the steak was very dry, but I don't have a previous experience to compare it to so maybe that was the way it should have been prepared. The pricing is reasonable in my opinion but the portions are not large at all.

    Amazing Bar!

    The food was excellent! I ate it before I took pictures but we had shrimp tacos, cilantro chicken with saffron rice and the Cuban taco. The Cuban taco is a must try for sure, everything was delicious. The service was great, Amy helped us out and she was so friendly. The ambiance was so nice, good music, the bar looks outstanding; I'm sure it's popping at night, I can't wait to come back and hang out at the bar. They have a fantastic patio as well that I will definitely be back for once it's warm weather. I did snap some pictures of the restaurant before leaving. I highly recommend this place!

    Bar area, steak plate, chicken plate

    Nice ambiance, but the food had small portions and was very expensive. My brother got the steak sandwich. It had one slice of steak and the sandwich was very small. Salsa and chips are $8 dollars. We had the chicken plate too, which had a thin chicken slice and an off tasting sauce. We were very excited about iCantina coming to West Homewood, so hoping it will improve! There was also a beard hair in my entree :(

    The steak nachos.

    My husband and I dined inside on a Wednesday night at about 6:00. The inside aesthetics are so cute! You order at the register what you want and seat yourself with a number for your food to be brought out when ready. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We used to visit the Cantina food truck in the area a good deal when we lived in Lakeview area we were both very excited to hear about the restaurant opening a few months ago. My husband got the peach margarita with Cuban fries and I ordered the prickly peach margarita with steak nachos. We also ordered cheese dip and salsa. The margaritas were delicious and I really liked the food. I will say that the salsa did not taste like traditional salsa to me, but I did like it. My husband loved his Cuban fries. The steak on the steak nachos was seasoned well just like the Cantina food truck and I really enjoyed it. Was a little pricey (the margaritas were a little over $13.00 a piece), but other than that our experience was excellent.

    Cuban sandwich was super, best I've ever had. Tacos, beef and shrimp, were excellent. Super service, friendly and fast.

    I finally got to check out Bygones! My friend and I went for a late night bite and a cocktail, and…read morewe sat at the bar. The service was quick and the hospitality was unmatched. They have a food truck that I've heard wonderful things about and I ordered the chicken Caesar salad. It was almost like a chopped Caesar salad and it was just the right amount for a small girl dinner. If you like Parmesan cheese, this is a must order as they do not skimp on that! What was really nice however was that you couldn't tell the food was from a food truck. It was great quality and you are able to order from inside the bar and they deliver it to you. That was a great service. I can't quite remember which cocktail I got, but it was very delicious and at one point the server had even given me a new chilled glass so my drink would remain cold as I sipped on it. This is definitely a great date night spot or just a place to grab a drink with friends, definitely a little more upscale as we were there in the evening, so the lights were dim. I won't drop my rating as it's spring time in the South but I remember being cold immediately as I walked in- but that's typical for a lot of places.

    Yall! Get down here!!! The absolute best SEXY bar ever. Sophisticated. Dark wood…read morecabinets....exposed brick walls ...black and brass fixtures...great music. But the real jam!

    Sloan's Bourbon Bar never misses. The night I went, they were hosting a WhistlePig tasting, and it…read morewas such a great experience. I ordered the featured Old Fashioned for the evening along with a WhistlePig flight, both were excellent. The Old Fashioned was smooth, balanced, and exactly what a bourbon lover hopes for. One thing I really appreciate about Sloan's is that they host tastings almost weekly (or very often), and they're great about posting details on their social media so you always know what's coming up. It makes the experience feel curated and intentional. The service is always amazing; knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly passionate about bourbon. And the atmosphere? Grown and sophisticated. It's the perfect spot for a date night, a business meet-up, or just a refined night out if you appreciate a good pour. If you love bourbon and want a polished, elevated experience in Birmingham, Sloan's is the place

    I'm a bit torn because I felt this place was great but my fellow revelers (aka my husband and…read moreinlaws) felt the service was off. For my part, I thought the cocktail I had was fantastic. My husband and FIL liked theirs too. My MIL felt there was barely any alcohol in hers but I cannot confirm. We did have a hiccup with the bill being completely wrong (and we were overcharged twice) but it was all settled. There were not very many people at the bar for a Friday night. But perhaps it's a more late(r) night place. We are all geriatric in our party (sort of). I didn't mind and it seemed to be picking up when we were leaving. Overall decent, but maybe I miss Pale Eddie's just a bit.
