About this restaurant

A fun, energetic tribute to American Southern cuisine. Our dining room is bustling with high-energy just like our great Magic City. Our menus focus on local distilleries and local farms throughout Alabama; the menu is ever changing with only the freshest products on hand. Our dishes are whimsical yet elegant with a feeling of comfort to them.
Roots & Revelry departs from the norm by modernizing fine dining. It’s haute with casual undertones, southern with international influences.

Our Patio is not covered. Patio is weather permitting. In case of inclement weather, we will do our best to accommodate you inside but can not guarantee a table.

Reservations preferred, walk-ins accepted based on availability.

We are allotting 1 1/2 hours for parties of two, 2 hours for parties of four, 2 1/2 hours for parties six or more. Please call us at 205-730-1907 or email robert@roots-revelry.com for any parties over 8 guests.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Roots & Revelry, nestled in the historic Thomas Jefferson Tower, offers a "beautiful, charming and quaint" venue ideal for special occasions. While some guests praised the "delicious drinks," "amazing brunch" with "cat head biscuits," and "exceptional service," others noted inconsistent service and food quality. The atmosphere exudes a "farm to table feel" and is "perfect for a romantic dinner." However, the restaurant has faced operational challenges and is currently closed due to unfortunate circumstances.

Restaurant was closed until further notice. We had our nye reservation and were not informed of the closure. Terribly disappointing. Very unprofessional.

The restaurant is no longer open. We should not have been able to make a “secured” reservation or waste our time driving to the location.

The restaurant had a sign on the door when we arrived saying they were closed. Why did they still have reservations available on the website?

Sad to say that the restaurant was not open due to death of the owner. We found out when we arrived in a neighboring business said they have been closed for over two weeks. Wish they had updated their system to not take reservations and do not send reminders we do look forward to dining there in the future, but they need to correct this issue.

This restaurant is permanently closed. We made reservations on OpenTable, and when we got to the restaurant, there was a note on the door saying that due to circumstances beyond their control, the restaurant was permanently closed. If you have made reservations, do not go. It appears open table has not removed them from their app.

Charged $120 reservation fee with Restaurant being closed evidently for weeks with no notification. Open Table, take this down so this Restaurant can recover if they decide to reopen after a horrific event of the owner dying.
