Best Lunch Restaurants in Hoover

Great food and fun. Service is awesome. Get the pretzels!

We had a birthday celebration for a group of six steak enthusiasts. The food was OUTSTANDING. The quality, the flavors, the presentation. Service very patient (we had a merciless clown among us), friendly and efficient without hovering. Portions are enormous, we had to pack away half of our food. All-in-all, great experience. Here are the entrees we tried: the famous pork chop (a.k.a. OMG), ribeye (buttery tender), Three Kings Mignon - all excellent. Pork chop is truly stupendous - three cuts, three different textures, tru awesomeness! Sides: corn brûlée (amazing), potato au gratin (excellent), creamed spinach (on par), and grilled veggies. Desserts: Chocolate Jubilee (scary rich and humongous), Creme Brûlée, and Lemon Bar. Loved all three. Everyone tried a little, and six of us couldn't finish the Chocolate Jubilee. That's a major accomplishment for a family of gluttons. We also had some wine, a dirty martini, and a spinach salad. We had the best time, honestly. Highly recommend. It's a truly upscale fine dining, not your everyday dinner, but so worth it.

Great food and great service love eating there go there all the time

Galley and Garden is an oasis of calm and warmth on a hilltop of Birmingham. From the moment we arrived and had our coats checked, throughout the entire meal, we felt a calmness and warmth that erased the rainy, cold days of traveling Birmingham and the surrounding area. I enjoyed the salmon. My husband enjoyed his steak. The wine selection was very good. The key lime pie served in a martini glass was a perfect size dessert for two of us to share. Our waiter and other staff were very attentive and friendly, but not intrusive. We were seated in the room to the right of the bar area. Very nice decor and ambiance. We would definitely return.

The restaurant was packed but we were seated at our reservation time. The food and service were very good. The noice was average for a packed restaurant. We all enjoyed our meal. There wasn't much ambience to speak of, lots of tables and people, little if any Christmas decor. Thank you to all those who worked to provide a great meal on Christmas so the rest of us could relax and not cook.
