This place is amazing, the food hear is beautiful, delicious, and worth every penny. I got a simple fish and chips and I was still blow away with how delicious is was. I also sampled the octopus, oysters, tuna tartare, hush puppies and swordfish and everything was amazing. The atmosphere is wonder, and service is always on point. Parking can be a pain due to the location, but it’s not too bad.

They are simply the best. Having the pleasure of speaking with Adam and realizing he understood food in the way i did was such a delight. Cooking is an amazing skill anyone can learn and his restaurant embodies the spirt of exploration and passion that comes with that. I am losing track of how many times I’ve been but man do I walk away impressed every time.

After numerous experiences at wine bars that have decent-good food, this is solidly a GREAT restaurant that has a GOOD wine list. If a seafood focused place can make their non-seafood dishes with this much care and craft, it’s worth going. You’ll pay the same amount either way, but good food is worth so much more than a specialty wine list when eating out.

Probably one of the best seafood restaurants I’ve ever had. Look, my wife is the foodie… I’m just some guy… but this place has got something special. We came here for our 5 year anniversary and got to sit not far from the kitchen- it was freaking impressive how fast and how detail oriented they were! The service was also fast and so well presented. I felt taken care of every second I was there. The food itself was amazing from the yeast roles to the oysters to the blackened amber Jack to the ASO Sundae. 100% recommend to ANYONE looking for a unique and special spot. It’s expensive but worth every cent!

This place is wonderful! I highly recommend the duck fat poached swordfish. Our service was perfect. They have a good wine list and they valet your car so you don’t have to worry about finding parking!

Absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is amazing and the food is incredible. Our waiter, Winter gave us outstanding recommendations. Everything we had was impeccable. I think we said WOW after every bite. We started with the rolls, grilled oysters, and the fish collar. All AMAZING. I got the blacked crawfish mahi and my husband got the African pompano. Both were to die for. Finished it off with the ASO sundae. 15/10. Definitely one of our new favorite places in Birmingham. We cannot wait to go back!!
