Midtown pizza is not bad but I wouldn't say it's my first choice to grab a slice in town. It ISA nice little place to grab lunch with friends. The atmosphere is casual and social. The pizza's are thin crusted but a little too chewy for my liking. They do have a diverse selection of pies, which is nice.

This place is not authentic Mexican but it isn't bad for Montgomery. The restaurant is spacious with high feelings. The atmosphere is better than expected. When you first sit down, the waitress will bring by some chips and salsa which both taste freshly made. The portions are quite hefty for the prices, so if you are looking for some bang on your buck, this place is for you. Overall, this place is okay.

I love this place for Pilates. The instructors are super nice and thorough. The group classes are small, so you get quite a lot of attention. Although the classes are a bit expensive but it is very worth it.

This is a strange hodgepodge of a place. It serves up spaghetti, Korean food, and breakfast sandwiches, along with artisanal bread and cakes. The food here is really good but the service is a bit slow. It's been closed recently going under renovation so I've been quite disappointed. Apparently it is going to reopen as a Korean restaurant.

Big Blue Bagel & Deli

Coming from a New Yorker, this is no New York bagel joint. I know that sounds a bit snobby, huh? Have you ever had one? If so, you'll know what I'm talking about. In the beginning, I was excited about this place, since the only other place I can find bagels around here is Panera (blah). But after eating here, not so much excitement anymore. The bagels are dense and almost under baked doughiness and the skin has no snap. The first time I ordered a breakfast sandwich, the eggs were good but bagel ruined it. Then I decided to give them a second chance and came back for lunch. It was a bad idea to order the pizza bagel. Bagel was once again dense, and doughy, then cheese was so salty and the sauce was clearly from a jar. Thumbs down all around!

I love this place. I've actually heard good things about it from some friends but I never know what to expect since standards here about food are a bit different from what I'm use to up north.

The service is great (except when there's an Auburn game going on). The good is awesome, beyond my expectations. One of my favorites is the crab cake sandwich but I like to occasionally get the daily special. That has yet to fail.

I definitely will miss this place after I graduate.

Tried out a beginner's group lesson on a Tuesday night here. I love it. The classes are not too big, about 6 people the night I went. The instructor was very encouraging and attentive to your strengths and weaknesses. I felt like I got a lot of good feedback and coaching from the one hour workshop.

Love how this place is right in my front yard... literally.

I've at here on a few occasions. Dinner is always spot on. I believe, the menu changes seasonally, but I always get the scallops. They are seared to perfection.

As for my lunch experience, it was okay. I remember having the tuna Niçoise salad. Nothing special but might order it again if I'm in the mood for a salad.

Our biggest disappointment was when we came for Sunday brunch buffet. For $17, we had expected something good... but what we got was just okay. I really didn't feel like it was worth it.

Overall, I like Roux and so grateful that it is conveniently next door. The atmosphere is perfect. The food is tasty. And the service is friendly.

I think this restaurant is fairly new. My husband and I have never noticed it before. We decided to give it a try, we're always up for some Korean food. The menu has pretty standard Korean fare but it also has a section of stews and soups to share. The side dishes were got were okay, nothing special. The food was pretty good, we'll definitely go back again.
The restaurant is spacious and the decor is nice. It appears that it use to be a McCallister's, much of the interior was kept the same. Overall I liked it.

The whole family came here to celebrate my in-laws wedding anniversary. When making reservations, the hostess asked if this was for any particular occasion. So when we got there, the restaurant had printed personalized menus for all of us. Nice touch!  The restaurant is a free standing building I think it use to be someones house. The interior decor has so much Southern charm and character. It's perfect for a romantic and intimate dinner.

Our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable, especially about the wine. She was quite friendly and personable too. We all decided on the (blind) 5 course prix fixe menu. All the savory dishes were very delicious. We had a little of everything, shrimp, fish, quail, and pork.  But the dessert was so-so. We had a fruit tart thing and I think the crust was a bit under-baked. But that's just me. Nonetheless, everything else was so good, I still give it all 5 yelp stars.
