Restaurants near Cranbrook House and Gardens

The food was fantastic! The service was excellent. It took a little longer than usual to get our food. There was no valet service and it was a snowy and icy evening.

An exceptional experience from start to finish! The decor at 220 Merrill is modern and inviting, creating a relaxed yet upscale atmosphere. The dishes were beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The seafood pasta was a standout, and the dessert selection was decadent. The staff really knows how to make you feel special, and they made our celebration even more memorable. Highly recommend!

Kind of both ends of the spectrum for patrons: people dressed to the nines for a special event and dudes in sweatpants/gym pants. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Great food, good service, and a nice ambiance. Highly recommend the filet mignon (was cooked perfectly and I loved the horseradish sauce), the roasted corn and pancetta side, and the butter cake for dessert.

What a nice place for a client appreciation meal! Monica was our server/waitress. Very attentive and polite. Ravioli appetizer, lamb chop and dover sole entrees were delicious. Terrific wine list! I have been a Birmingham resident for 36 years and it is nice to have this restaurant so close. to home.

Everything was A1 from the time we arrived until we left. Adam was FANTASTIC!!! His sense of humor, his professionalism, his friendly demeanor provided the best service I’ve received out of all the times I’ve dined. What I did find that was disappointing, is how casual the dress code is. There was a time we would dress up to come dine. However I was noticing guests wearing jogging suits and gym shoes. It just changes the entire ambience.
