Always a great visit at Meri Moons. They have a fairly regular monthly wine tasting.

It never ceases to amaze me how they are spot on in pairings with the wine and the food is so good. This was probably my 5th tasting there and I've never been disappointed. I have been exposed to French, Spanish and reds I would have never explored. Great hidden gem in Montevallo. Go check them out.

I've been meaning to try this place ever since it opened up. I believe it's been a few months ago…read more I've read the reviews and they've kind of been all over the place so I thought I would form my own opinion and go have some brunch on a nice Sunday. If you're familiar, it's in the Old Main St., Tavern location in Montevallo. Several of the employees kept saying how busy it was there was two large parties that were there and then some other tables. There was no wait to be sat. Someone came and took our orders, but it took a few more minutes for someone to come back to take our order, but we were not in a rush, so that was no problem. Decided to get brunch i got the French toast, which was very delicious. It comes with bacon. My brunch date decided to get the shrimp and grits. We also got an appetizer of onion rings, goat cheese, and fried green tomatoes. The fried goat cheese was my favorite. It came with a lemon blueberry aïoli sauce. I ended up using the rum sauce. It tasted better to me. The fried green tomatoes were very delicious. I believe they do a bottomless mimosa, but I decided just to get a sprite. Unfortunately, unfortunately, the server was not very attentive with filling up our drinks. I think they were shortstaffed. I'll definitely be back for either their lunch or dinner because that menu looked good as well. There is a lot of cool decor on the walls and I believe they do karaoke on the weekends.

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!

They didn't have any seltzers, the Lemon Drop Martini they claimed was so loved was not good. It was wing night and I wasn't impressed.

The whole experience was a disappointment.

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.
