Saigon Noodle House ROCKS ! Another great meal this evening. Both me and crazy guest, a complete…read moreNUT; enjoyed everything ordered. This place is so dang consistent! The Spring rolls are like nobody's else I've ever seen, excellent with peanut sauce- you will want extra peanut sauce if you like this as much as I do. The Sandwiches- YUMMY - The Vietnamese ham, roasted pork and Pâté with "bimmy" bread or whatever they call the fresh made bread is so soft and unbelievable! The PHO'S - The Standard P1- Delicious with brisket, tenon, etc ( nothing waisted LOL ) with fresh cut onions, bean sprouts, and so many other wonderful ingredients including fresh herbs. - The Coconut Curry Seafood Pho - is also delicious with squid, shrimp and fresh seafood of the day and excellent noodles. I will be back soon

I hate it when I finish a meal and the server hovers while I pay / leave the tip. At Saigon it's…read moreworse than usual as the iPad to pay is attached to the servers neck... it just feels uncomfortable. But onto the food... - the pork egg rolls were the best I've had. 10/10! - the bahn mi (BM4) was great. Will get it again. - the bun with beef and lemongrass was bland.... Definitely missing something - the curry noodle with chicken and tofu was good, but I don't think I would get it again.

Home-run French in downtown Birmingham. I came here with a couple of my friends for a summer…read moreevening dinner out on the patio. We thoroughly toured the list of French wines, imbibed on a couple of their yummy cocktails (my friend loves the "Last Word"). Service was, of course, fantastic. The location is one of the most quaint and vibey in town (Morris Ave) and the food is certainly up to snuff. We split the famous potato appetizer and I had the half chicken for entree. Both outstanding.

This was my first time to visit La Fete. The location is great. Right on the historic Morris Avenue…read morenext to Alabama Peanut Co. and in front of Pilcrow and Cayo Coco Rum Bar. We were able to make a reservation for inside dining which I liked because it was a hot June Alabama day, but I would have preferred outside because it was so loud inside, there was no sound suppression, and the tables were very close together. The outside patio was nice and covered. Next time I will request to sit outside. We started with the sourdough bread which I highly recommend! There was enough pieces to have one while you waited for your dinner, and to save one to eat with your dinner. My husband ordered the deviled eggs and really enjoyed them. For our entree, we shared the roasted chicken. It was a half chicken with lemon, garlic, shallots and potato gratin. It was plenty for both of us. We even had leftovers. This is probably because of the appetizers and we had stopped for drinks at Cayo Coco before dinner. We usually skip dessert, but my husband really wanted to try the chocolate custard, bittersweet chocolate custard with chantilly cream. The presentation was beautiful. I had a couple of bites and it also tasted amazing. Our waiter recommended a dessert wine that paired with the custard. He let us try a couple of sips, and the sweet fruitiness really made a difference. The service was amazing. We will definitely be back.
