Located in the historic Five Points South district, Highlands Bar and Grill combines the simple elegance of rustic French cooking with rich southern tradition to create a dining experience that is, according to Gourmet magazine, among the top five restaurants in the country. Buttery-colored walls donned with vintage posters and subtle lighting are the setting for Highlands Bar and Grill’s intimate dining room, while the bar (full menu available) exudes a lively energy with both locals and travelers seated around the Alabama marble oyster bar. With an extensive wine list and loyal and knowledgeable staff, sophistication without pretension emanates at Highlands Bar and Grill. Fresh gulf seafood, locally grown organic produce and sustainability raised poultry, beef, veal, lamb, and game are the foundations of the dishes, created by James Beard Award winner Chef Frank Stitt, at Highlands Bar and Grill.
