Restaurants near Clear Creek Marina

Every year I bring my daughter and my grandkids up to Birmingham for a special pre-Christmas celebration. They always have a wonderful experience and look forward to going again next year. The food was delicious as always and the experience with my wife, daughter and all four of grandchildren leaves us with another year of memories.

I took our IT department here for the Annual Christmas lunch and everyone loved it! Every plate was clean when we finished and dessert was also served. I had the fish special of the day - Grouper served over a grit cake with a white wine butter sauce. It was off the charts delicious!! I have eaten at Bistro-V many times through the years and they are always exceptional.

Our first time there and, yes, it’s expensive but it WOW it was an exceptional meal. Service was personal and attentive, really great. Steaks were some of the best we’ve had out and one in our party said the black cod was best they’ve had. It was fairly loud in there, but everyone was having a great time. If you want quiet, probably not for you. If you want a happening spot with amazing food and service, definitely give them a shot. We’ll be back!

We were looking for a nice steakhouse to meet family from N AL & B’ham for a celebratory dinner. Wissota had good reviews & we made reservations. We headed up early to have drinks prior to dinner. We did have a little trouble finding the restaurant - it is in the Coblestone hotel - and drove past before we saw the small sign. Once we arrived, we sat at the bar waiting for others to arrive. Emma took care of us, told us about menu items and made a fabulous martini. For dinner we moved to the dining room & Jacob took care of us. We started with charcuterie and bone marrow. The bone marrow is served with pickled onions & chimichurri on the side. So you can dress it to your taste. I love the marrow! From there, we all wanted steaks! We had the filet, ribeye & porterhouse. All were seasoned great and cooked to the requested temps. Sides are served family style (for two). We had the whipped potatoes and asparagus. Both were wonderful. The Bday boy even got carrot cake for dessert. Great hidden gem in Cullman.

It was great food and large amounts. We brought home enough for several meals. We were not rushed. Very enjoyable. Definitely will go again for their thanksgiving meal.
