Title: B'ham Restaurants
Post by: Townhallsavoy on October 30, 2009, 05:48:49 PM
Anyone ever eaten at Highlands Bar and Grill?  Or Hot and Hot Fish Club? 

I understand these places are expensives as hell, but I'm getting some ideas ready for my first anniversary.

Hot and Hot is the tits.  Make sure you get a reservation at the cooks counter so you can see all the chefs do their thing.  Me and the wife try to go a couple times a year, it is well worth the price.  

Tell your waitress it is your anniverary and they often treat you to a free desert (not really free considering the tab you will walk out with)

First anny?  You gotta start small, or you leave yourself nowhere to go. 

Seriously.  Jack in the Box, two days late, is the way to go.

Hot and Hot is my favorite place to eat, Chez Fon Fon is also a nice choice.

Highlands is a favorite of my family, but we've never tried Hot and Hot, so I can't compare them for you.  If you want to try a place that is on par food wise but (i think) may be a little less expensive, you might consider looking at Veranda on Highland (I'm not 100% sure on it being cheaper).  I liked the atmosphere there a lot, and we got to talk to the chef a couple of times as he wandered around, which I like.

Highlands is a great place to go.  I have never been to Hot and Hot, but I keep hearing great things about it.  If you want upscale, let me recommend Icon.  It's in the Tutweiler, so you could either enjoy the beautiful old architecture or get a room quickly after dinner.  It's a win either way.

And, if she promises you oral, take her to Wendy's for a nice Frosty dessert.

Listen to him.  Play it right and you will be ordering a couple bakers dozen from Krystal by aniversary #5.

Between these two, I'd go with Hot and Hot.  I've eaten at the Highlands a few times and it has never lived up to the hype for me.  There are some other cool restaurants in 5 Points that you could take her:

Ocean
Bottegga
Chez Fon Fon

If she likes Italian, you could take her to Gian Marco's in Homewood - by far my favorite Italian restaurant in Birmingham.

Or you could drive her by all of these places and then take her to the Ruby Tuesday's in 5 Points.  I hear they have some killer burgers!

I'm coming up on #10, and it's looking like the Golden Corral.  I've heard their bottom round steaks are to die for.

Yeah, but not too many trips though.  You don't want to encourage weight gain.

This is true, maybe you can be a sweetheart for the wifey and fix her plate for her...cause you want to just serve her and stuff....you know....  :silence:
