    Salmon with a pastry!
    Juan G.

    This place is amazing for brunch--the food, ambiance, and staff truly complement each other. You have an hour and a half to dine for $55, which includes mimosas, or $42 if you choose not to have them. Every dish is beautifully presented, and the flavors really stand out, making it a perfect choice for a Sunday brunch. The restaurant is very clean, and the servers are attentive and friendly. There is a bit of a rush, but it's really up to you how much you want to eat during the time allotted. The oysters are my favorite--you can have up to 12. The shrimp and grits are outstanding, and the presentation is spot on. Make sure to make a reservation, as it can be difficult to get a table otherwise. There's parking across the street if you arrive early, but by noon the place gets very busy.

    This is probably my new fav brunch spot in town!!! Everything I tried was exceptional! They were out of a few dishes I wanted to try , so I have an excuse to return much sooner. I absolutely loved the staff! So fun and provided excellent service from start to finish. They made sure that I had everything I needed. During my visit on a Sunday , there was a nice size crowd but I was able to find a seat at the bar. I had the best time! Great food, drinks and service!!! Highly recommend checking out the weekend brunch. You won't regret it!

    Came with SO for their Bottomless Tapas Brunch. It's $48 a person (plus tax and tips, of course) for unlimited mimosas with bottomless brunch and $35 for just Bottomless Brunch. What's kind of amusing to me is they put big bold "complimentary mimosas" on the menu even though it really isn't technically, not without a bunch of strings, as obvious in the pricing. Somebody needs to explain to them what "complimentary" means, ha. They do take reservations and I would recommend making one if you are set on eating there but don't want to wait. We didnt have a reservation but got lucky and was able to sit down right away. This was a bit past 10:30am on a Sundsy morning and the place was over 90% full. Staff there is super nice and efficient, definitely 5 stars in that regard. This being my first time there, I tried as many dishes as I could. A huge fan of the fried green tomato, steak biscuit, and beignets. Got multiple of these and would definitely recommend. Thought the bacon and sausage balls, shrimp and grits, and the fish were terrible. Bacon is floppy and I am a crispy girl, so that's definitely a personal preference thing and you may love it. The grit cake in the shrimp and grits were cold and hard, a definite no. The fish was over fried. Another thing of note is that at not even 11am (and their brunch runs from 10am to 2:30am), they were already out of the quail and almost out of the parfait and the oysters. So if you come at noon, you are already down three things you probably wanted to at least try! That's definitely a problem IMO. These factors caused me to feel like 4-stars is the best I can do, especially considering the cost. However, if you have never been, I would definitely recommend you to give them a try! The stuff that's good are really good and you could just fill up on those haha.

    I went during Saturday brunch hours. The price is $35 with no alcohol or $48, which includes approximately five mimosas. If you choose $35, you can add alcohol at the individual amount listed on the menu. The tapas are unlimited; however, you can only order one at a time. They come as individual/single amounts, so they are not shareable. The server usually comes around pretty fast to take the next order. The location isn't a large space, so be prepared to wait to sit if you don't have reservations or if they have a full house. They usually have some bar seating available if it is a packed house. It's not always packed, so go check it out!

    Soho Standard is the BEST! The bottomless brunch is unmatched!! This is one of the consistently best places I've been.

    I went back on Saturday for a friend's birthday brunch and we had a great time. It was a first time experience for a few of the ladies and they're already coordinating a second visit. Our waitress, Victoria, was such a delight! She was friendly, patient, and gave good menu suggestions. The patio was pretty packed but she made sure we felt taken care of. The Standard team also sent my friend a delicious french toast with a candle in it :) Super sweet gesture and it made her feel special.

    The bottomless brunch is definitely worth it if you eat enough to get your money's worth. It's very quaint and decorated nicely. They were out of a few things by the time I got there but everything else was pretty good. The mimosas are STRONG, the food is tasty and service is good. My favorite item was the beignets and least favorite was the chorizo hash. I would skip out on the chorizo. I definitely want to come back and try the items I missed out on! Will definitely be back soon.

    Solid location, ambiance and restaurant is nice. Weekend brunch is different but you get full (especially if you're having mimosas.) You get a total of 5 mimosas (of course you can pay for more or any other drink.) Unlimited food during your hour and 30 minute timeframe, except for 3 options (oysters and 2 other items...those are limited to 3 order per person.) Wait staff is so nice and friendly. No modifications to the items (I was able to get some items w/o eggs or crab) but they wouldn't cook the oysters for me. Tehehehe. 2nd time going, definitely would go again! And plllleaasse get Toni's cinnamon roll!!!!

    Quail + Waffle

    Went to brunch on a Saturday and did the "All You Can Eat Brunch + mimosas" and it was fantastic. You could order as much as you wanted and the quality was surprising considering it's ayce. It came out quick and everything tasted fresh. I highly suggest getting the quail and waffle and the steak and biscuits. Or jusy get everything if you're sharing! It's a really good deal if you plan on eating a lot and also want bottomless mimosas (you can pay less if you go without mimosas). I'm glad something like this is in Birmingham because it's a lot of fun and tastes great!

    Best brunch in town. Bottomless tapas with an extensive menu of high quality dishes. I've been 3x and it is amazing every time. 35$ so on the pricier side for brunch but worth every penny. My favorites are the caprese with burratta, quail n waffles, French toast, steak n biscuits. The amazing thing is that nearly every dish I've had there is a winner which is super rare. I went with a big group and have now officially tried all 19 different dishes. They even have raw oysters.

    Lox, Mimosa, beignet

    Best brunch in Birmingham hands down. Always start and finish with the lox. Highly recommend

    The Hungarian Peppers were the star of the meal for us. They were in season so they were perfectly…read morespicy and the sausage was perfectly cooked. The focaccia was so fresh and you can tell it was made in house. It could be eaten alone or dipped in the olive oil/sauce mixture under the peppers. The steak frites was good, but I wouldn't say it was the best thing ever. Steak was cooked well but lukewarm when it came out and the fries lacked any crunch. The hollandaise sauce was very good though. Would definitely try either the pizza or the chicken schnitzel if I came again. The spicy lamb rigatoni was good as well. Could've used a little more lamb but otherwise it was a very solid and flavorful dish. Very happy that we tried the cheesecake. There were layers to the flavor as you got to taste the white chocolate and raspberry sauces first, and then it transitioned into the sweet cheesecake and the homemade crust. The crust really was what made the dish, as you could pick out cinnamon type flavors which added a little spice to balance the sweetness of the cheesecake. Overall I would definitely (and probably will) come here again. The modern and cozy ambiance was great, and the staff was there at every turn to take your dish, pour a drink, or even box up your leftovers.

    Another excellent addition your list of Thai restaurants in Birmingham!…read more They've only been there for 6 years and I finally made it. Even though I didn't dine in, I appreciated the beautiful decor and the attention to detail. Gone from their early days during the pandemic when they were take out only to their newly renovated and larger dining area. There's nice bar with stools nearly centered in the restaurant. Employees are more friendly than you can imagine. Located on 280 near the Greystone entrance, YYST is on the right in a small quaint strip shopping area that's raised "above" 280. So if you're driving by you can see YYST by looking up. There's no outdoor seating, but plenty of tables and chairs inside with seating at the bar. They are quite proud of their Yelpies 2025 award for "Beloved Birmingham Business" which sits at the front entrance. Their menu is comprehensive with the right amount of dishes to satisfy. Every "Thai" place seems to have their own take on most dishes and YYST is no different. Their "recommended" entrees include Mango fish, Pad Thai Chakangrao, Massamun Short Rib, Pad Thai Wings and Panang New York Strip. Then they also have "Signature Plates" whose menu descriptions had my mouth watering. There's also stir fry, curries, salads, and even a lunch menu. Since I wasn't dining, I was going to do my litmus test and try their version they call Beef Drunken Uncle noodle. I also ordered their Fresh Basil Shrimp Rolls, and Bangkok market fried rice. I waited at the bar for about 10 minutes when my packaged meals arrived. I was offered a glass of cool water as I waited at the bar. The rolls were wrapped in saran wrap and I would guess were probably made a couple of days ago. Nothing wrong with that except I got unlucky and rice paper wrapper was almost crunchy. They were a little heavy on the use of lettuce, but each had 4 large fresh shrimp. The taste wasn't anything spectacular BUT their version of the dipping peanut sauce saved it. Yom Yom Yom! The fried rice was delicious. Tossed in a wok with eggs, onions, chinese broccoli and their house sauce, I had beef added as the protein and it was delicious. My Drunken noodle was very good! This traditional street food inspired dish is a classic. Wide noodles tossed with snap beans, garlic, onions, bell peppers with thai chili and basil, their version is quite good! It had great flavor and an excellent representation of the drunken noodle. Next time I might have to pay extra for a fried egg on top. Yom Yom Yom Yom! I'm glad I finally visited YYST. I am looking forward to returning and this time dining in. The Panang New York Strip and Mango Fish have my name on them!

    I really wanted to love Yum Yai, and definitely has its pros, but the noodle dish left me wanting…read moremore. First let's start with everything they're doing right! Great service, lovely decor, impressive playlist, delicious wings and refreshing drink. I like that they offer mocktails and serve in generous portion compared to many places. The Zaap wings are a must if you're a wing person. I am not a huge wing person. We got both dry and sauced to start--both yummy. I'm a big fan of Thai food so I've had really good Thai food and sub par. The crispy spring rolls were good but pretty standard like most restaurants or what you can buy in the frozen section. I ordered Drunken Uncle noodle with chicken but it wasn't even "tipsy" lol - not a ton of flavor nor moist enough to be drunken. Edible but Kinda pasty and lacking so the 3-3.5 rating factored in to my overall is mostly due to my noodles but the rest of the experience I am pleased. Maybe I just didn't order one of their best entrees. When my friend had her basil fried rice dish redone with no egg she loved it, and it looked good too. She got it with tofu. Before that something was off but the staff was very accommodating and kind. They wanted to make it right so she'd be pleased and she was. We took our moms out on Mother's Day weekend as a treat, and they seemed to enjoy their whole fried snapper which comes on a bed of lettuce with rice & sauces on the side. The three flavor fish comes with 3 sauces and there's also a mango fish. The location is convenient and I'd return to try another dish or one of their curries. They were running a unique set of menu items especially for Mother's Day weekend but it included food items none of us eat.

Parking is primarily street parking in the area, but there is also a public parking deck nearby. I'm unsure what the current cost is for the deck, but it's worth knowing if you're visiting during a busier time. I ordered the fish tacos with black beans and chose the cheese grits as my second side. Everything tasted fresh and had lots of flavor. The real star of the meal, though, was the sweet potato cake. It was incredibly moist and delicious. Honestly, I could've eaten four of them without shame or hesitation. My colleagues ordered burgers and fries. They both really enjoyed their burgers, but neither cared much for the fries. They had also requested a couple additional items after the food arrived, but those items never made it to the table. The decor is bright and fun, though it didn't quite seem to match the style of food being served. Just my personal observation. They also have a robot that helps deliver the food alongside the servers, which felt a little unexpected for the casual atmosphere and southern comfort food vibe. They were fairly busy since it was lunchtime on a Friday, but the wait really wasn't bad at all. Would I go back? Yes. Was it my absolute favorite? No. But there were definitely things I enjoyed, especially that sweet potato cake that nearly made me consider ordering dessert first next time.

In fact, I'm getting warm feelings right now just thinking about my time here. Their vegan option is a nopal taco (tender, marinated cactus). It's excellent, but what makes it next level is that SALSA BAR with the best salsas I've ever had. It reminds me of taquerias in California. I drowned my taco in all of the sauces. In fact, I could probably be happy eating tortillas and salsa here. Because, yes, the tortillas are that delicious. As is that guac.
