Have you ever wondered what happens when you find a gift card nearly a year old, book a reservation four weeks out, decide to take the day off, clear your hubby’s schedule, dress up a tad, and see what the food fuss is about? I’ll tell you what happens. What happens is the total elevation of ones palate, plate expectations and plans to return again. Yes, that’s what happened on a recent date night at Birmingham’s renown Highlands Bar and Grill.

I won’t command too much time telling you how excellently attentive the staff was, or about how we got a peek at Chef Frank Stitt when he came to greet guests to whom he must have been familiar. I won’t tell you how the ambience and menu were so inviting it simultaneously captured upscale and welcoming almost effortlessly. I won’t bore you with my thoughts on…Let me just stop typing and start showing you what you’re really here for…the FOOD!

Take a look and try not to drool. Visit Highlands Bar and Grill as soon as your budget and belly allows. You will not be disappointed.
