One Nineteen in Mountain Brook is one of Birmingham's most consistently excellent fine dining restaurants, with a menu focused on Southern ingredients and French technique. The wine list is well-curated and the service is attentive without being fussy. The outdoor terrace is one of the nicest places to eat in the city in good weather.
A good option for a special dinner without fighting for reservations at Highlands. Mountain Brook is a 15-minute drive from downtown Birmingham, and the surrounding neighborhood is pleasant to walk through after dinner.
