Helen Birmingham Reviews
Helen is A MUST GO TO RESTAURANT
I've traveled all over the United States, Europe, and Singapore. This was one of the best dinners my wife and I ever had. Everything was amazing!!! The food and service were phenomenal. I had the 14 ounce bone in Fillet. My wife had the Short Ri
We had a 5:30 dinner upstairs.
It was not crowded but filling up by time we finished our meal. We did have a reservation. We started with warm angels. Goodness, they were so good. I highly recommend. Both had the filet! It was so delicious and cooked perfectly! The atmosphere was

If you didn't order anything but the bread, you could die happy. Outstanding food and ambiance is amazing. Highly recommend. But if you aren't ordered the bread, why go?
what a fabulous and unexpected dining experience! We were
what a fabulous and unexpected dining experience! We were in Birmingham for one night and, being from San Francisco, we certainly didn't expect to have an exceptional meal. Boy were we surprised. This restaurant has it all. From fabulous ser
My favorite restaurant in Birmingham.
Food and service are always top notch. Went for my birthday last week and couldn't have been better! This was my fiancé's first time eating there and he said it was "the best meal I've ever had!" I love the side offerings wh
I'm always on the hunt for a good beef tartare and this one
I'm always on the hunt for a good beef tartare and this one was delicious! The cracker was unique and I was hesitant, but it worked! Service was nice and bartenders were attentive. I would definitely go back
Huge disappointment.
Not the same as 3 years ago. I'm not convinced that they weren't serving left overs. All dishes were tepid at best. No way that tomato pie was made that day. You expect something really good for that price. This was diner quality. Our de

I came here today for a birthday lunch with my girlfriends and honestly was disappointed in most by the temperature of the restaurant. I couldn't even enjoy my food and drinks and dessert because I was sweating. The food itself was good, but not

We loved that the atmosphere wasn't stuffy or snobbish but totally SHOULD BE if you were only judging by the food and service. The server was top tier, knowledgable, and answered every question we had. I adore the open concept kitchen where you
Helen is my favorite restaurant in the area.
The service, food, and kindness is always top tier. We recently celebrated our anniversary at Helen and it was perfect!
Came here for my last day living in Alabama after so many
Came here for my last day living in Alabama after so many people recommended it to me. Ordered the $150 porterhouse which I give a 3/5-too salty, kinda rough in some areas. I think because we were a younger couple, service didn't really pay atte
We ate at Helen last week.
Our server was attentive and did a fine job, but overall we did not receive the calibre of customer service expected or commensurate with the type of restaurant Helen aspires to be. There was an inordinate wait between the starters and our main cours
Good lunch but bring your pocketbook
The atmosphere is good and the biscuits are divine at Helen but $104 seemed pricey for 2 entrees, 1 order of biscuits ( 4 biscuits) and 2 teas for lunch. The $32 grouper was fresh and flavorful but the presentation would have been better if it would
Great Meal, Friendly Service at the Bar
Stopped for a quick dinner after a long work Day. Cade made a great Woodford Manhattan to start things off. Then paired a nice Clos Du Bois cab with the Beef TarTare and the house made Iberco Sausage. Great Place. Not pretentious
Perfect in every way!
We tried Helen based on the stellar reviews. Unfortunately I screwed up on Resy and made my reservation for the wrong date. Bailey was the hostess and said they would accommodate us anyway despite a full house. We are eternally grateful. Our serv
If there’s a better restaurant in Birmingham let me know!
Everything is right about this place. Service is impeccable, menu is simple yet eclectic and the people are organized like a top shelf choir. I’ve nothing else to add. Go for yourself.
Amazing service, delicious food.
We had top-notch service from our Server, Jenny. She gave fantastic recommendations at every turn and was attentive without being overbearing! The food was delicious and for dessert we got the peanut butter pie and rocky road bread pudding. The pie w
Helen & Oliver
To be fare I always like to say that these chef/owners are friends of mine. However, I don't think it matters in terms of the quality of the food or service I receive. What ever I eat is prepared the same as someone that doesn't know them a
Nice
Great Atmosphere, Great Dinner I scheduled this business dinner without knowing much about this restaurant due to a mix-up with my reservations. I was very pleased with everything about this experience.
Helen…a gem!
Helen is a Birmingham gem! Celebrated a birthday there with warm birthday greetings from the hostess & our waiter. Biscuits are melt in your mouth delicious! A flavorful green salad with scrumptious tiny fried onion rings on top & chunky bits
This restaurant is my favorite in the South. Hands down!!
OUTSTANDING!! Shout to Bailey and Greg. I had a blast with two fellow screenwriters. People cannot believe Birmingham AL can be this sexy. I was so proud. San Francisco and New York guests saw just sexy food can be. I am making my husband bring me ba
Underwhelmed
We had slow service, so maybe our experience was a bit skewed. We were excited to try Helen after hearing so many great things, but our experience did not live up to expectations. Overall very disappointed.
Connect with users posting reservations for Helen Birmingham
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Helen Birmingham. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Helen Birmingham at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Helen Birmingham page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Helen Birmingham to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Helen Birmingham!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
