Galley & Garden - Birmingham, Alabama

Birthday celebration!!! We did have reservations. Love that they have complimentary valet and he was very kind, so we made sure to tip. It's always good when you can get together to talk, laugh and enjoy great food/drinks. Even though the birthday girl wasn't feeling 100, we still had a great time. Waiter and other staff are very helpful and friendly. What I originally wanted was no longer on the menu, so I tried bone in coq au vin recommended by the waiter and turned out to be very delicious. I didn’t care too much for dip, but the chicken and mash were very, very delicious. The crimson sunset was also very good if you like fruity drinks. Everyone else enjoyed their selections, which I sampled, but really didn't like the ribs too much. The salmon was good so may try it next time. Fyi they do have complimentary bread, but you have to ask for it. The decor of the restaurant was very nice as well.

Excellent service. The bartender Megan is the best with the drinks. Everybody was so attentive and came to the table very often to ask if we needed anything. I highly recommend.

We loved the valet service and the food was great. Our waitress explained the dishes in detail to make sure we would be satisfied with the choices. They were very attentive and we loved the fine dining experience. Wr recommend the lobster ravioli and duck confit pot pie 10/10!

The fish highlight was great. Well seasoned, well cooked, and delicious over the grits. The duroc pork chop, while very tasty, was not cooked to order throughout. It was medium rare only close to the bone but definitely more cooked than that across the rest of the chop. I know from personal experience that it is difficult to cook a cut like this evenly, but it is absolutely possible with the right technique. It was still very good and not something I would send back, but I did want to point out that improvement could be made here.

Our server was personable and attentive. She made the dinner enjoyable and made us feel welcome. The person bringing out the food, however, didn’t know who ordered what both times. I feel like it shouldn’t be our job to relay this after we’ve ordered. Also, the person running valet service, which we didn’t use, immediately asked us if we had a dinner reservation as we were approaching. This was kind of off-putting to me and made me wonder if we’d get the same question if we were older or dressed more formally.

Overall, it was a nice dinner. I particularly appreciate having a good high-end restaurant for dinner on a Sunday night. I just think there’s a few things that could be improved. We will be returning though.

We recently went there to celebrate a special occasion. They gave us the perfect table in the corner of a cozy room! The staff went above and beyond to make our night special. The General Manager, Virgil, stopped by several times to check up on us and took a few minutes to chat. The food was exceptional! We started with the fried pimento cheese with pepper jelly, then on to shrimp & grits and the pork chop. Special shout out to our Server, Marge, hope you nailed your exam! We will definitely plan on dinner there every time we pass through Birmingham!

Had an amazing dinner on Christmas Eve Eve while visiting Birmingham. The service was spectacular and all the staff were awesome. The food was incredible and the drinks were delicious. Also enjoyed all the wonderful conversations we had with the super friendly staff. The restaurant is absolutely stunning. The fried green tomatoes and the banana pudding are a must order. Can't wait to visit again.!

Fancy feasting. My son and I enjoyed our brunch. This place was truly a great dining experience. My little picky eater, enjoyed all of his food. Great dining experience for adults and kids. The flavors of the food were so good.

We were passing through on the move across the country and wanted a nice meal. We have high standards as we have lived in Austin for the past few years and have become accustomed to delicious food.
We made reservations and had an incredible experience. The attention to detail and the impeccable service with Bindia made our experience top-notch. The presentation was terrific, and we HIGHLY recommend this delicious food to anyone ready to have their taste buds explode with pleasure.
