Do something different and go to Highlands Bar and Grill, Bottega Restaurant or Chez Fon Fon.

I seriously don't mean to hijack this thread but speaking of steak places in B'ham, do any of yall remember Baby Doe's? Michael's downtown was better for steaks and hanging out, but BD's was good and more of a romantic setting for dates.

Michael's downtown was better for steaks and hanging out, but BD's was good and more of a romantic setting for dates. oh yeah..I worked at the Galleria in my early 20's before joining the Navy, and took a few dates to Baby Doe's...I gotta tell you most of those dates turned out very successfully. or turned out to be successful...which is the more proper English? Oh and along those lines, remember Rube Burrow's- I think it overlooked 20th st? similar story...

For steak, Perry's or Ruth's Chris. For the best overall, Highlands Bar and Grill is #1 in Birmingham, according to Tripadvisor. I concur.

Had a table window seat on a rainy New Year’s Eve years ago at Baby Does. Lightning, fireworks over the city. About the most unbelievable supper we ever had in a unique place!

I’ve never been impressed at Ruth Chris. The 400 degree plate ends up cooking my steak beyond what I like it and the cuts are just “meh” for the price. They always give me a hard time about drinking beer at the table too, prefer you to drink wine at the table and beer in the bar area. Never givin me a hard time about drinking beer or hard liquor at the table

Perry's is good, but it is loud. Not exactly a romantic atmosphere. Fleming's seems to be quieter and more along the atmosphere you're looking for. Ruth's Chris I think is the most "intimate", but I think their steaks suck.
One thing that always surprises me about the "high-end" restaurants is how loud they are. Never been to Highland's Bar and Grill.
Most of the high end places mentioned on here are pretty good food, and all about the same IMO. If you go to Perry's or Flemings. I wouldn't get the steak. Both places have an excellent Salmon dish, and Perry's is known for their Pork Chop, which could feed a small army.

[quote=Clem] Do something different and go to Highlands Bar and Grill, Bottega Restaurant And then you can go by a drive thru and get something else to eat on the way home. Five green beans doesn't cut it with me. We ate at Baby Does on the night of our wedding. They bulldozed it because it was a structural nightmare. But the location was excellent and I never understood why someone else didn't build there. I have heard great things about Perrys and will try it next.
Baby Does 10 cent beer and free wings during happy hour was WONDERFUL!!! Loved the cool air from the mine shafts. Good Times Proby!

, I would have to say that McGuire's Irish Pub has an excellent steak with trimmings. And, I'm not driving to the beach. Their pork chop is awesome too.

Perry’s steak is very average imo not bad just average very average. Perry’s salad is first class. I go there just for their salad. House Cabernet Sauvignon is made just for Perry’s and is simply amazing.

Agree with above, probably highlands. Don't sleep on gianmarco's. If you can get a reservation, the thick cut veal chop is one of the better cuts in town. I don't know if they have it every night though.

This is going to sound crazy, but Linde Marie's in Cave Spring, Ga. Take your wife on a little adventure, and take 411 all the way to Cave Spring, Ga. and eat there. It honestly rivals any steakhouse in Birmingham or Atlanta for food and atmosphere and it's in a town so small that if you blink when you drive through you'll miss it. This!!

Gianmarco's is very good. If you are not stuck on a steak place, I would go there, Highlands, Oven Bird, or Cafe DuPont. Mrs. Irish and I have had nothing but good experiences at Oven Bird. It's a "small plate" place so you have to order more than one thing or go to Waffle House on the way home. I like their "Beef Shoulder Complex."
