Best American Restaurants in Vestavia Hills

Natalie and her team at Perry’s in Birmingham are the picture of professionalism. Welcoming. Attentive. Responsive. And the food is only surpassed by the service. Definitely our special occasion place, but also a regular stop for a good weeknight meal or Friday lunch.

Although we had reservations they were able to sit us earlier on a busy Saturday evening. Our waitress kindly explained the menu since it was our first time. She then made some recommendations of her favorites. We actually ordered what she suggested and it was perfect. The ambiance of the restaurant was great and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

I took our IT department here for the Annual Christmas lunch and everyone loved it! Every plate was clean when we finished and dessert was also served. I had the fish special of the day - Grouper served over a grit cake with a white wine butter sauce. It was off the charts delicious!! I have eaten at Bistro-V many times through the years and they are always exceptional.

Our first time there and, yes, it’s expensive but it WOW it was an exceptional meal. Service was personal and attentive, really great. Steaks were some of the best we’ve had out and one in our party said the black cod was best they’ve had. It was fairly loud in there, but everyone was having a great time. If you want quiet, probably not for you. If you want a happening spot with amazing food and service, definitely give them a shot. We’ll be back!

The food was excellent. The quality of the drinks was also very good. Entree prices are reasonable but drinks are expensive, although probably no more so than at other similar restaurants. They have to make money somewhere. The service was a bit uneven. The server was personable but several food items were either not ordered or were just not delivered to the table in a timely manner. Appetizers and salads came out well after the entrees. Overall, my guests and I enjoyed our experience. The side room was a bit noisy. I think the main room adjacent to the bar would have been better.
