Then we called back and made dinner reservations for the first seating at 5 pm. We ended up walking around Birmingham which was just as much fun. We tried to do a walk in and were told they had no more openings for several hours. Best bet is to try and make a reservation.

The Mad Hatter Bistro has one small flaw in that it is in a small building so, this affects the number of reservations they can accept and how many walk-ins they are able to let in. It is a great classic burger and the hand-cut fries are a nice touch. The Mad Hatter Burger is made from Farm Field Table beef. The dish is very hot when served so before you burn your tongue make sure to let it cool down a bit.

It consists of Stoney Croft Farms grits, cheddar, poblano, black beans, and roasted corn. The Shrimp and Grits was another surprise taste. We tried the Shrimp and Grits and The Mad Hatter Burger. The main entrees choices range from seafood, pasta, burgers, steaks, and even rabbit.

The Mac and Cheese with Cavatappi noodles have the right blend of creaminess and cheesy flavor that will warm you up on a dreary, cold day. The Tuna Wonton Tacos are a surprise, soft on the inside and crunchy wonton on the outside. We tried a couple of appetizers and entrees to see how everything tasted. Prices are reasonable for an upscale bistro in Birmingham. Yummy! That about sums up the food choices here. Drinks come in crazy bent glasses which add to the crazy atmosphere. My drink came with a Swedish Fish on it as a decoration. My friend, Nathalie and I tried the Pom and Circumstance and Thyme Loves Hero. There are small graphics down in the corner that help you navigate the menu (sweet, sour, bitter, etc.). Very unique! The drink menu takes a little time to decipher. Cocktailsīesides the decor, the cocktails make the place fabulous! You have to see the teacup and spoon chandelier in the corner of the bar. This is a great area to have a group afternoon tea party, which you have to make reservations 24 hours in advance. The green walls are to give you an outdoor feel, and the upside down lamps are totally something the Mad Hatter will do. The downstairs eating area has more of the Mad Hatter Tea Party theme. “I’m late I’m late for a very important date!” Downstairs Eating Area Although with all the clocks in the restaurant you would think one would have the right time. When I recently stepped into Wonderland at the Mad Hatter Bistro, I sat over in the checkered area and kept trying to figure out the riddle “Why is a Raven like a Writing Desk?” The stairs leading to the downstairs seating area is decorated with cards, quotes, and more clocks. Even the walls are painted like the card soldiers in the Queen’s guard. From chandeliers, candles, and velvet picture frames. The main floor is decorated from the Queen of Hearts perspective with a rich, luxurious feel in the decor. Once you enter and are waiting for a seat, there are several more cute decorations from the dressed rabbits to the set of silver keys hanging on the coat hooks. You can almost imagine them coming to life and moving their mouths to greet you. On the outside, there are the classic door knobs from the story. Everywhere you look at the walls, ceilings, stairs and even the chairs have an Alice in Wonderland theme to them. The entire two-story restaurant has little touches of whimsy throughout the building.
