My husband and I decided to try Tallulah for Valentine's Day, and while we had a decent experience overall, there were a few things that could have been better.First, the ambiance was a bit off. We were seated in an extremely dim room - so dim that it felt more gloomy than romantic. Some well placed mood lighting would have made a big difference.On the bright side, our waiter was wonderful, attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. We started with the Fetta Fritto, which was absolutely incredible, crispy, and flavorful. For entrées, I ordered the Spicy Orecchiette, but unfortunately, it was pretty underwhelming. Not only was it lacking in spice, but it just didn't have much depth of flavor. My husband, on the other hand, really enjoyed his filet, which was cooked perfectly. We ended the night with the Lemon Italian Cake, which was a great choice. Light, citrusy, and a refreshing way to finish the meal. My husband is still raving about it too.Overall, Tallulah had some hits and misses for us. The food ranged from excellent to just okay, and while the service was great, the ambiance kind of threw me off. Would we come back? Maybe someday, but next time, we'd ask for a seat in a better lit part of the restaurant.

Classic Birmingham restaurant. Food was good overall and had a nice bottle of Pinot Noir. My favorite food was the feta appetizer. The duck confit risotto was good but a little salty. The steak frites were also tasty with a chimichurri sauce but was a little tough to eat. We sat in the side room so the ambiance was a little muted. The main room had a lot more energy. Our service was solid and the waiter gave us a good wine recommendation!

One of my favorite Italian restaurants in metro Detroit, the ambiance is unmatched with the beautiful branches hanging from the ceiling and soft romantic lighting. This is our second time eating here and the food is always phenomenal. We started with the delicious burrata and then ordered the filet and shrimp bucatini with rosemary fries!

We ordered the burrata salad to start... the pesto it's on top of is so delicious and bursting with flavor! Next we did the pasta... we added the grated truffles on top and it was such a great addition so we each ordered ANOTHER round of pasta! The porterhouse was served medium rare which is perfect for our taste... if it's not mooing still then we don't want it (just kidding). The fries are honestly the best fried potato I've had. We got an Italian lemon cake for dessert and it was served with blueberries. The best lemon cake ever! So moist, nice cream in the middle and the blueberries top it off! We celebrated our 1 year anniversary and coincidentally our wedding cake was a lemon cake with custard and berries in the middle, so it was a great way to end the evening! Brandon was a great server!

We had a yummy meal where we bought a bunch of plates and shared it all! Our server was attentive and brought both still and sparkling water which was a nice touch. We sat outdoors so I can't speak on the interior of the restaurant but the patio was perfect for us to enjoy the great weather! Like I said in the photo, I am still DREAMING of the burrata salad. It was creamy and flavorful and just perfect! I wanted to take an order to go and just might have if I wasn't so full lol. Definitely a must-try!! There are so many delicious options on the menu and from the looks of it, it's a rotating seasonal menu which means the ingredients are fresh and delicious! I'd go back again if I'm even in Birmingham, Michigan again. I'd probably drive an hour or two for the burrata salad alone haha. Seriously though. Get the burrata.

Had an amazing time at Tallulah. It was my first time and it did not disappoint. I was meh about this place knowing it was a white tablecloth kind of fancy vibe, but all of the food was delicious. The ambiance isn't anything special, but our waiter was so nice helpful and attentive. The arancini balls were so good and a very generous size. Both the pastas we ordered had a lot of flavor as well as the fries and burrata, YUM!

What a fantastic Happy Hour menu! I was in the area and met up with a friend! We had a great time at the bar ordering a few items off the Happy Hour menu. Great selection of food, drink and always the best staff!

The food and ambiance at Tallulah's was amazing as always, but it was Brandon who put our experience over the top. He was attentive and personable without being pretentious. Cannot say enough about the service.

I made my reservation through Opentable and put notes that I wanted to sit somewhere quieter for a work social meeting. (Needed to talk about a wedding project I was working on). ANNNNNDDDD They sat me right next to the kitchen, closest to the bar. Granted the restaurant was a full house on a Wednesday evening so it was loud. Even if I didn't have planning in mind, I felt like I had to shout just to talk. Irritating at first, but a bottle of wine in, I became more lax. When I choose restaurants like Tallulah, I go because I know they will have good food which means a great experience. But I really and truly didn't appreciate my waiter stopping by my table to let his presence known as often as he did. His hand was waving all around my face when he was describing the specials and wine. Each time he stopped by, he overstayed after interrupting. This was even AFTER I personally said I was here to meet with my clients for the first time. I would love for Tallulah to change up how they announce the specials. I like to read the specials to think about how the flavor profiles would work and see what kind of wine I would like to pair my food with. Hearing a waiter shout through the chaos, not understanding how much things cost without repetition seems to take the class out of the experience. I also had to bring up my plates to the SA because the plates were overcrowded and the dining pace was removed from the equation. Overall the food was great. MY GOD was the scallops deliciously prepared. But the service? The service needed help on all accounts. From the host reading the reservation notes, to the waiter learning how to read the table to the SA/waiter/EXPO seeing how guests react after their entrees are delivered.I will be back again for the food on perhaps a more social setting but the FOH logistics needs some work for reservations similar to mine.
