Award-winning seafood, steak, and cocktails in chic space
"This 2020 James Beard Award finalist lies in a cluster of restaurants that have coalesced in Birmingham’s Lakeview district in recent years. The seafood spot is a gustatory and visual spectacle, thanks to the efforts of 2022 James Beard Award winner for best chef south Adam Evans (the Optimist) and Suzanne Humphries. Automatic is the place to impress folks visiting Birmingham, with some of the best dinners, brunch, and cocktails in the city, plus hospitality that makes people feel like celebrities. Lakeview is crowded, so anticipate parking and walking or keep enough cash on hand for a valet." - Sarra Sedghi

"A Birmingham seafood restaurant opened by chef Adam Evans in a repurposed Automatic Sprinkler Co. building; the restaurant’s strong culinary voice and stylish interior (designed with his wife Suzanne Humphries Evans) helped earn its chef the Best Chef: South award." - Beth McKibben
