Veranda on Highland Restaurant Review

: Chef Tom Robey and dining room manager Stanley Reynolds have brought their many years of experience at Commander's Palace in New Orleans to one of the most idyllic settings in Birmingham. It is difficult to imagine lovelier surroundings for a leisurely brunch or dinner than this grand 1920s-era Greek revival style home with columns and multiple dining rooms, some with stained glass windows and fireplaces. Local ingredients are laced with touches of New Orleans and the Caribbean. House-made soups start the meal well. Try the pork porterhouse from Fudge Farms, served with Lyonnaise new potatoes, sorghum-braised red cabbage and Jack Daniel’s Creole mustard honey. We also recommend the jumbo Atlantic scallops with spinach and tomatoes in an aged sherry bacon vinaigrette. At brunch, try the crispy soft-shell crawfish with mirliton avocado slaw and smoked jalapeño butter. Shrimp and grits haute Creole finds favor with charred green tomatoes and summer squash over the local McEwen & Sons grits. Add Dixieland musicians strolling from room to room at the Sunday brunch, and you won't want to leave soon. Lingering is encouraged over praline cheesecake or orange ginger crème brûlée.
