Tallulah Wine Bar & Bistro

"A decent place for some quality food--yes you won't find a truck with tomatoes sold by the ton to this bistro. The salmon is always done just right and the greek salad is fresh. The portions can be a bit sparse. The desserts are fantastic. They have a good waitstaff and the ambiance is mellow, if a little grey and loud thanks to tables being stationed too close to each other. But overall a good spot for a date night."

"I attempted to eat at Tallulah Wine & Bistro but unfortunately my party of 3 could not be accommodated by the hostess. I was informed that it was booked with reservations. I pointed out 3 open tables and the hostess said to me that they are reserved for reservations that would be coming. Honestly we didn’t have a reservation but apparently that only made a difference for us as another party of 2, that arrived shortly after could be accommodated without a reservation. It was during the seating of that party after I spoke up did any staff member attempt to try to accommodate us. I was absolutely offended at the audacity of the staff. This is not an establishment that I would recommend. I’ll let you guess as to the amount of melanin in my party. Compared to the other party that lacked any visible signs of melanin. Is that why we couldn’t be accommodated? They were seated and served expeditiously without a reservation."

"its one of the very best restaurants in the area. the interesting entrees and appetizers are beautiful to see and so well put together. interesting ingredients. the desserts are about as good as it gets. anywhere. the wines are very pricey, but even the most reasonable bottle is just excellent. friendliest staff. go early, like at 5. walk around town after."

"Lovely dining experience with phenomenal service, a very creative bartender, and exquisite cuisine. I added photos from a couple visits including tonight’s. Our waiter, Scott, was very knowledgeable about the menu and assisted my guests and I in a friendly manner. I am never disappointed by the service here. I’ve had a few items, including the Cacio e Pepe, the lamb ragu papperdale, and I’m not sure what the name is of the meal I had tonight, but it was angel hair pasta with red sauce and I substituted chicken for the shrimp. All of which I recommend! Very delectable entrées, my guests also had nothing but good things to say. The atmosphere is very small and intimate, however, it is also very elegant and and well lit, especially during the evening. A staple for Birmingham, it’s been around for quite some time, and I highly recommend it for multiple variants of food."

"Best upscale happy hour! We came for happy hour and it was great. The charcuterie board was delicious and well thought. I cannot overstate how great the old fashioned was for happy hour. Sat at bar and perfectly comfortable. Excellent service. Great selection all around. Will be back for dinner."
