Restaurants near Ramada Inn Tuscaloosa

A wonderful evening celebrating two birthdays. I walked in and immediately loved the place. The atmosphere was classy and the music set the mood for a nice, relaxed dinner. Our server, Olivia, was friendly and very attentive. She offered explanation of some of the dishes we were considering and made recommendations - some is which we took. We had drinks, and shared an appetizer, the pasta, and the pork chop. The timing of food delivery was spot on. Overall - an outstanding evening out!

Excellent food and service. The section of table is along the long center of the restaurant could use some art or something. I hope they continue keeping everything they can authentic look forward to visiting again.

The service and food was excellent. There was a mishaps with our order but they resolved it in no time and the manager and waitress apologized for it. Will definitely be back!

01/25/2025: It was my first time there. You have to enter through Embassy Suites hotel. I made a reservation but it wasn't needed, there was only one couple when I arrived. The jazz music was perfect. I was looking for "fine dining," but this wasn't a bad choice. The dining area is large, but the bar seats 10 people at best. There was a bathroom inside the restaurant and it was clean. But the lock on the accessible bathroom needs repair. I had to lean on the door and jiggle the lock to engage it. Maitlon was my server. He was patient and worked with the bartender (a lady) to find a drink I would like. She ended up creating something and it was tasty. Maitlon helped me choose between different menu items. I had the flank steak w/mashed potatoes and asparagus. My steak was medium and tender. Maitlon delivered my meal with a steak knife. Which is rare because most restaurants don't serve your food with a proper steak knife. I had lemon cheesecake with vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. There was a solid lemon flavor to the cheesecake. The berry compote had a good texture and was not thin. The whipped cream was fluffy and the pistachios were ground to a good texture. Overall, it was a good experience. The meal was just under $70 for one person. The staff (Maitlon and the bartender) were friendly and patient with all of the guests. One suggestion would be to add a bread basket while you wait for your entree. I'll slip in to try a burger next time.

We had a great birthday celebration! The food, ambience and specially the music were excellent!
