I was finally able to check out wooden city and enjoyed it so much that I went back a couple weeks…read morelater for a friend's birthday! I really like the ambience inside. It gives a great vibe for either a work dinner, a date night, owl or dinner with friends! It's fun and swanky but not over the top. They have a really attractive bar and they have a pizza kitchen that is open, which is always a cool touch. I try to handful of appetizers and I've got to recommend both the jerk cauliflower as well as the brussels sprouts and the Caesar salad was delicious as well. Also, the blistered Hungarian peppers are a must order if you'd like sausage! The meal that I had both times because it was that good was the spicy lamb rigatoni. I might just go back next week and get it again. I like that they have a wide variety of options whether you're looking for a gluten-free meal or something carb heavy like pizza or pasta, but they also have options to fit a variety of budgets from a casual dinner and a burger to more expensive entrées. The servers are very kind and are definitely educated in their wine and food offerings and very hospitable. Since this is located on Morris, a lot of people think parking is difficult down there, but apparently there is a parking lot in the back where you're able to get your ticket validated. I know some of my friends wish they would have known this before. I'll definitely be back and recommend this spot to others wanting a good meal!

Ordered a takeout pizza because of the 4.8 stars. I'm from Omaha and when I went inside to pick up…read morethe pizza, it was obvious that this is one of the main hipster spots in Birmingham. The pizza was good, but my girlfriend ordered mushroom and pepperoni and we got sausage and mushrooms . The toppings and sauce were good, but the best part was the chewy crust that was slightly charcoaled. I had to use the City parking lot in the back as street parking was full. This area looks to be comparable to Omaha's Old Market, but we didn't have any time to explore. Hipsters of the World Unite!

Had multiple dishes most all of which were good with the paella being a standout. The chocolate cake was also stellar. Service was adequate. Portions good for two, would def need more for group settings. Price was reasonable.

This is a great date night spot although some of the dishes failed to hit the mark. The spring vegetables you can skip. A cold dish that was rather bland. Instead we liked the mushroom conserva which was very flavorful though the portion size was small for mushroom and an egg. The hangar steak was delicious with a perfect medium rare but somehow it wasn't too memorable. I would say the same for the fish which was also great but not memorable. The tres leches was good but could skip and opt for dessert elsewhere. Service was impeccable and the food was good. However I was expecting more from a bib gourmand restaurant.

We discovered this unspoken, timeless spot called Sticks and Stones. Our usual place was closed for…read moreThanksgiving weekend, so I used Yelp to find nearby options. One place came up, and at first, we weren't sure if it was open, but we walked in and immediately felt good vibes. No TVs, just hip R&B and Funk music, with a beautiful L-shaped bar and friendly bartenders Chloe and Ian. The menu is minimal, offering tapas and small plates, but that's because everything is made in-house and is especially good. We started with a House cocktail, the Pear & Proper, which is magnificent. Then we ordered the Wedge salad, and it was divine. After that, we shared the Red Wine Braised Short Rib, which melts in your mouth--their signature dish. We finished with an espresso Martini and some great Calamari. This has become our new FAVORITE. Must try!!!

Beautiful cozy spot. The atmosphere was casual upscale. The staff was very attentive…read more I enjoyed the food. I thought the hummus was tasty with the soft pita and even the veggies. My drink was tasty, it was their version of a lemon drop. My friend got the whiskey sour and she was upset at the size... it was pretty tiny. My entrees was very delicious but it came out lukewarm. Beef and potatoes should be served stemming hot. Also the portion of the mashed potatoes could have been a bit more generous. The burger girls were ok with their choice, no frill there. This spot has an extremely limited food menu, so it's not a place I'd frequent but it's definitely worth a future return!

We had heard from so many friends that we had to try Little Betty Steak Bar. When a friend invited…read moreus to dinner we were so eager to try it, and let me say we were not disappointed! The ambiance was great with lights on the tables, low lighting overall and plenty of room between the tables. We definitely felt like we were in our own little corner, could hear each other talk, and we did not have to listen to others conversations. I really enjoyed the mocktail I ordered. It was called the Sinaloa Sunrise and was much more than a few juices poured together. It was full of flavor, and I actually said "Wow" out loud as I drank it. It included pineapple juice, lime juice, habanero brown sugar syrup, sage syrup, and grenadine sink. Before I ordered it, i I wondered about the sage syrup, but it really added to the taste. For an appetizer, we shared the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio. Our friend suggested it and he was right on the money. It consisted of fresh horseradish, truffle aioli, fingerling potatoes, pickled mustard seeds, arugula, and caciotta al tartufo. It was melt in your mouth goodness. For my entree, I went with the 8 oz Filet. It was cooked perfectly, and we shared a side order of the Brussels Sprouts Calaprese. They were absolutely delicious and plenty for the three of us. This wonderful evening ended with dessert. I went with the Bananas Foster Cheesecake. It was good, but it needed more caramel. It included brown butter caramel, pistachio banana crumble, spiced ice cream, white chocolate crèmeux and white chocolate pearls. Was this an expensive dinner? Yes, but it was well worth it. You definitely are paying for a whole experience including unique flavors in every bite and wonderful service. Our server, Matt, made the night perfect.

Service is horrible.... Go to Armour House https://www.armour-house.com/…read more My food was VERY delayed. Had a $500 tab running and entree was 30 min after everything else was cleared.

I visited this bar twice…read more On the first occasion, the bartender was slow and inexperienced. Plus the computer system was inoperable so the bartender had to keep track of tabs by hand. On the second occasion, same experience as the first. However, the second time had the added bonus of the bar's water pipes busting. Water began to flood from under the bar into the lobby area and it had to shut down for the rest of the evening. The drinks were $$$ I remember it was about $38 for 2 mixed drinks. Hope they resolved their plumbing issue.

The roll was fresh, meat had a nice crunch on the edges from the grill, tasty veggies. Only drawback was how little meat was on the cheesesteak. I was honestly kind of hungry after eating it. I commented to the wife that I probably could have eaten a second one. Perhaps there's an option for double meat I could try next time. Came with house made chips. I'm a sucker for house made chips and these were very nice. Wife had a fusion bowl and seemed to like it. We'll be back at the bar on our next visit.
