Tykesha at the bar was very friendly and welcoming. She was polite and provided top notch service even when they were very busy. This was an unexpected stay and she made it a great night. The food is good and not over priced. The service really makes the difference

Very good staff! Great atmosphere. I explained to them that I was from Mississippi and a particular drink I wanted. The bartender tried to make the drink however it didn't taste the same as what I was use to. He tried a few times to get it right. He ended up fixing me his signature drink and it was wonderful. I just appreciate the 2 bartenders trying to please me. I was visiting for a wedding but would return just to go to have drinks and eat here.

This restaurant is in the IHG Hotel and is a local gem. It is quite surprising and seems to be a local gathering spot. The Birmingham Police come here for dinner. It is severly understaffed. Two very hard working women, JoJo and Jennifer, run the place. They are the bartender, server, cook and order taker. The food is excellent. I had the basket of 10 wings and my spouse had the Quesadilla. Both were perfectly cooked and tasty. I saw a Ribeye come out with mashed potatoes. It looked ample and delicious. It is hard to believe this is a hotel restaurant, the food is very good, the service is outstanding and the 2 women running the place are friendly and personable. If in the area I certainly will come back.

My daughter and I are staying at the hotel tonight and did not want to leave to eat so we tried the restaurant. The entire staff was wonderful and very friendly. Our waitress was the best we have ever had. Everyone was amazing and the food was really good.

The staff was friendly. But a little overworked for the number of customers. The atmosphere was great. The food was good but a little pricey.
