    Roasted Rack of Lamb
    Devon B.

    Food was delicious and great portions. Service was great at the bar. Ambiance is just a white tablecloth vibe. The lamb was perfectly cooked and delicious.

    Roasted corn pablano soup was wildly different, really good!

    This small boutique style restaurant was such a refreshing night out! The grilled romaine salad was a totally different experience! It's odd having a warm salad, but I'm excited to try it on my grill now! Salmon was excellent, and the snapper was to die for! Great all around service.... I wish I lived here so I could come back!!

    Currently driving across the United States. After Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, and Mississppi, this is the best food I've eaten. I received unforgettable service from a BEAUTIFUL server named Erin who seated me immediately upon arrival around noon. She recommended the squash which I would have not normally tried and I'm grateful I did. The atmosphere, charm, and taste of the food culminated to make this a 5/5 experience for me; I could not stop smiling. I drank a coastal mocktail in a copper glass which tasted fantastic additionally. Before I could pay, they gave me a complimentary creme brulee. Thank you, Daniel George! I'll be back.

    Appetizer - crab claws

    Absolutely delicious! A true hidden gem! The crab claws for an appetizer were some of the best we've had in Bham. Love the intimate atmosphere.

    We enjoyed this new place to dine. The atmosphere was upscale with white shades and table clothes. The service was stellar with multiple waiters and waitresses checking on you constantly. Our main waitress was splendid. My wife and I had the chicken and my daughter had the beef. Everyone enjoyed their meal. This is considered a neighborhood restaurant. Nice place to visit.

    I absolutely enjoyed everything about DG! I was quite shocked that a white tablecloth setting would have such an outstanding meat and 2 or 3 or 4 situation! I wanted everything on the menu!! Our server , Ben ( I believe) was amazing! I ordered the hamburger steak (with gravy , mushrooms and onions ), mashed potatoes and their spicy pineapple collards. Every bite I just knew this food was well crafted and could taste the effort put into each portion! I will say the only downside was , the food wasn't as hot in temp as I prefer. Notice I didn't even take a star away for this because DG provided the total dining experience I look for! My friend who I met for lunch has frequent DG several times . This being my first time , I was blown away! I can assure you that I will definitely be popping in again .... real soon! The vibe is relaxing and very nicely decorated. It's great for a date night , GNO or solo outing. The bar and dining areas are both very spacious as well. Street parking is available but this area can present some challenges depending on the time of day of your visit. All and all , it's well worth it!! Thankfully we arrived early enough and had no parking issues at all.

    This is one of my favorite spots to visit. It is a part of my regular lunch rotation. The staff is always pleasant. They also take proper precautions and provide sanitizer. We go there for lunch around 11:15 and there's always a place to park. After that, it gets really busy. So try to get there early. My favorite menu item to get is their hamburger steak with gravy. It is so good. I always add mashed potatoes and fried okra. I recently tried the creamed corn when their okra wasn't available. It was soo good and wasn't too creamy. It was perfect. The chicken breast with gravy was also very good. It usually comes with a biscuit that is a welcomed treat. I would highly recommend that everyone try the lava cake. It usually comes with berries and a chocolate ice cream. It is one of my favorite desserts. You may want to order it when you order your meal because it takes a minute to prepare. You will not regret it. Our server Ben was also very knowledgeable of the menu items and was attentive to my seafood allergy. Please give them a visit, because I want them to do well and stay open.

    I came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and we had a wonderful time! Every dish was amazing and our waiter was so kind. We got the crab claws as an appetizer and they did not disappoint. The ambiance of the restaurant is wonderful and I will definitely be coming here again.

    We had our end of the year, Christmas lunch here. Our reservation was for 11AM, and while hardly anyone was in the restaurant when we arrived, parking was still very difficult. When we left, the restaurant was pretty full, but we had no idea where everyone parked to get there! The food was good - everyone cleaned their plates. Lunch came out fairly quickly after ordering, but dessert took longer than expected (or appropriate) for a lunch meeting/hour. Our server was super knowledgeable about the menu and answered all of our questions. The sprouts were a hit at the table. The Hamburger steak was a little dry. Same with the chicken... it could have used a gravy to go with. Portions are a little smaller, but I'm guessing that's because they are lunch portions. I think the biggest takeaway is to come early!

A family member selected Culinary Dropout due to numerous high reviews. I made a quick online reservation due to my great fear there would be a long wait. Upon arrival, the restaurant had no visible wait but they were busy though not full. We were seated promptly at a nice clean and comfortable booth with not shared long bench seating, as is my preference. The menu was not too long but offered a nice selection of cooked to order selections. The server was very courteous and thorough. For appetizers, we ordered the Whipped Feta & Tahini Dip and also the Soft Pretzels & Provolone Fondue. Both had excellent flavors. I was especially taken by the latter as the soft pretzels worked so well with the gentle, warm and creamy fondue. As we were all quite hungry, we also shared a variety charcuterie platter. The selection of cheeses, meats, honey and olives were delicious. The astute server took it upon herself to add on for us some crusty bread which really added to our enjoyment. For entrees, our family had Butternut Squash and Kale Salad with Chicken, Crispy Chicken Katsu Sandwich, Prime Rib Dip Sandwich and I enjoyed the Turkey Pastrami Sandwich. All were very much enjoyed with premium ingredients and meat cuts. Aesthetically, the view from the restaurant is quite nice as it is up higher along the ridge line. The general shopping area of The Summit is completely and totally safe being just off Highway 280 and further from questionable downtown Birmingham. The restroom was spotless as was the entire restaurant. There is also a bar with high seats in the middle of the restaurant. I am betting the happy hour drinks here are quite good. I recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

With our other food, we came close but were unable to finish it! We also got a small charcuterie tray sampler - grilled bread, meat & cheese, nuts, and some grilled asparagus - very tasty. We had ordered the truffle pizza - truly one of the best pizzas I've ever had - but were so full, we ended up getting it to go and ate it the next day. I look forward to coming back soon.
