Tallulah Wine Bar & Bistro

Tallulah was a high-end dining experience set in a cramped New York restaurant complete with a celebrity sighting. Everything was delish made even better by the service. We had the Brussels Sprouts appetizer, the peanuts elevated this dish. Also, the mushroom ravioli, Amish chicken, and linguini with chicken was awesome. Side note, I ordered the parsnip soup. I have never had parsnips before. It was prepared well, creamy. I did not enjoy it. It was too new for me.

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.

Very classy dining experience. This is definitely an impressive place for either after work drinks or a romantic evening dinner. I have enjoyed my experience at the bar, regular table seating or the patio. The dishes and drinks are part of the experience as well. The cost is a bit higher than regular dining but it is worth it for the occasional splurge. Definitely a special place to go.

The reviews are very misleading on Google. We made reservations here a month prior and were so excited to experience Tallulah! We left quite disappointed. The service was very mediocre, we felt rushed and not very relaxed at dinner. The food was just okay, it was lacking A LOT of flavor. We had to ask our server for salt on the side to be able to eat our food. The Brussel sprouts were the only dish that was good tasting. The green mussels were absolutely horrid, very oceanic tasting -NEVER order those. It was nothing special, there are much better options in Birmingham for the price you’re paying!

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.

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.

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.

Their food never disappointed. I tried shishito peppers, branzino, shrimp, tiramusu. All top notch. The restaurant itself is very small and they try to put as many tables as possible and as a result you have no other choice as to listen to the people sitting on the near table. If the people next to you are loud your evening is definitely ruined. No private conversations. The hostesses are rude though. We went there for dinner once and were seated right in front of the door. I saw at least five other tables empty. When I asked to change the table, i was told that they are for four people parties. 10 minutes later all the tables were occupier with two people parties…..Three start review is for the rude hostesses. The waiters have been great so far.
