We had an excellent experience at Culinary Dropout at The Summit in Birmingham, AL. Our server was knowledgeable and accommodating, and all of our food choices were delicious. My favorite was the Crispy Popcorn Shrimp appetizer. (The creamy sauce was a bit different than the norm & so yummy!) C.D. offers an upscale, not-stuffy atmosphere, with fun cocktails and a cool vibe. Highly recommend!

Always a pleasure dining at Little Betty. The carpaccio and tuna veil for appetizers were an excellent start. I ended up getting the Caesar salad and crab cake for my entree and it was delicious. My son got the cod and he said the flavors were so good. My husband got the NY strip which was cooked perfectly.

We had not eaten here is awhile and we certainly enjoyed our meal and drinks at the bar. Cocktails were prepared expertly and the appetizers were delicious: Baked oysters and fried green tomatoes with remoulade sauce were excellent. The shrimp and grits with a white wine sauce and cherry tomatoes was a great choice and the fried oyster plate was perfectly prepared. The blueberry cobbler was good as well. We decided to make plans to eat here more often!

We had a birthday celebration for a group of six steak enthusiasts. The food was OUTSTANDING. The quality, the flavors, the presentation. Service very patient (we had a merciless clown among us), friendly and efficient without hovering. Portions are enormous, we had to pack away half of our food. All-in-all, great experience. Here are the entrees we tried: the famous pork chop (a.k.a. OMG), ribeye (buttery tender), Three Kings Mignon - all excellent. Pork chop is truly stupendous - three cuts, three different textures, tru awesomeness! Sides: corn brûlée (amazing), potato au gratin (excellent), creamed spinach (on par), and grilled veggies. Desserts: Chocolate Jubilee (scary rich and humongous), Creme Brûlée, and Lemon Bar. Loved all three. Everyone tried a little, and six of us couldn't finish the Chocolate Jubilee. That's a major accomplishment for a family of gluttons. We also had some wine, a dirty martini, and a spinach salad. We had the best time, honestly. Highly recommend. It's a truly upscale fine dining, not your everyday dinner, but so worth it.

The food was awesome, and the service we received was just as good. I made reservations and when I arrived my table was available at the specified time.
