The Essential
2215 Morris AveInspired by small tasty spots in Siena, then Florence and finally Paris, we yearned to bring the concepts of Europe back to Birmingham, Alabama. Finding just the right size and spot on Highland Avenue in the midst of the city's "food mecca" neighborhoods, we threw open the doors in January 2018. We cook and uncork every evening Tuesday through Saturday.
