"This was very pleasant dining experience. Everything from the atmosphere to the decor to service and on the the food was very pleasing. Before entering you are offer free valet service, big plus. Once you do enter the beautiful garden like setting is a delight to take in. The staff was very friendly and seated us immediately. I took advantage of making a reservation, which I highly recommend if you visit during the busier hours. The entire restaurant's decor was very pleasing to the eye and it made your dining experience feel more special. The food was excellent and the drinks we good. I will definitely be back to experience more of the menu and to enjoy the atmosphere."

"El Royale was the perfect place for date night! The atmosphere is moody, absolutely gorgeous, fabulous and the lighting is romantic. I had the chicken tinga enchiladas and they were divine! We ordered the dip trio for an appetizer and all of the dips were delicious, but the salsa that came with the chips was the best salsa I've ever had. Ever. I highly recommend ordering the Flaming Royale cocktail and the Diamond Daquiri. Both were amazing! Our server, Chris L. was excellent. I've found my new favorite restaurant in Birmingham, for sure!"

"We wanted to lick the plates! Had the combo fajitas! Super-cali-fragilic-expialidocious!!! The chips and salsa are UNIQUE and DELICIOUS! The service we received was THE BEST we've experienced in a LONG time ANYWHERE in Bham. If you go, ask for Fletcher and take ALL of his menu recommendations! You'll be glad you did! Thank you, Fletcher, for your wonderful attention to detail and for the great history lesson on the restaurant."

"Excellent atmosphere and wonderful food. Used to be a plant nursery back in the day; good memories! I most recently went on a busy Friday night and while the service could’ve been a tad faster and more efficient, I believe they were doing the best they could. Food was outstanding. Great back area that pays homage to the property’s past life. Worth a visit!"

"Really enjoyed my recent visit to El Royale. I ordered the chicken fajitas and an orange margarita on the rocks. They were both were great and exceeded my expectations. Our waitress was fun, informative, and quick to help us decide on some yummy options. The space was beautiful, both inside and out on the patio. The vibe was fun and laid back. A little extra I appreciated was the full jalapeño that came with the fajitas and the warm salsa for the table. Looking forward to putting El Royale into my restaurant rotation this year."
