Our waitress, I believe her name was Brooklyn, was amazing. Friendly, fun, and accommodating. She crafted some custom cocktails from me and my friend that were delicious! We also had a few unexpected guests join and she was great about adding them into the party as well. Food was good, especially the truffle fries! Looking forward to our next trip to 220!

The reviews that were read before visiting really over sold 220 Merrill. For starters the atmosphere is confusing. It’s almost like a mixture of a small space wedding venue mixed with an old coney restaurant . At least in the area we were placed. The tables were so close together that I questioned fire safety. We were little on top of ppl. The music was too loud that made ppl speak louder which was also annoying. There were crying babies and there was an unpleasant smell in the air. The first waitress gave us water in which he spilt all over the floor then left it there. The second waitress didn’t ask if we wanted drinks at all she brought us straws in which she placed in our cups opened. I thought that was weird. The water was disgusting, the waitress wasn’t familiar with the menu, and not helpful at all. The food was Very bland for the price. Unfortunately hard pass on revisiting.

Food was great and so was the atmosphere. However my reason for this review is the service. My server Alvin was amazing!!! From the minute he came to the table he had great energy and was so kind. He was personable without being pushy and recommended several items for us to try. It was a very busy Saturday evening yet he was on top of everything for all of his tables. He displayed perfect service from start to finish. His sever assistant was also perfection. We never had our waters empty, and our plates were promptly cleared. If you’re ever dining here and want to have a great time, request Alvin. He displays top notch service for 220

We sat outside, fun lively atmosphere and our server Andrew was excellent, food was excellent also. our group is middle aged and dressed very nice. our issue was my wife went up to use the restroom and as she approached the door to the restaurant the bouncer stepped in her way and told her she needed to check in with the hostess. She told him we have been sitting outside less than 15 feet from him for the past 90 minutes. He then opened the door. she told him she felt his actions were rude especially when our table was with eyesight of him the whole time and his response was “not really“. I did ask for the manager to come over and softly and politely told him of the experience and he gave a very soft apology. We hosted our company holiday party ar 220 last year, this year we will on to another Birmingham establishment with a more professional approach.

Asked for food recommendations from server, he went through them so quick I had a hard time understanding. Tuna tartare app was very good, needs more chips. Calamari was rubbery. Ordered filet-medium, received well done. Presentation was horrible with burnt potatoes. Scallops were under cooked. Chicken parmigiana was very good. Salmon was not so good. Hamburger with truffle fries-we all enjoyed. Seating was outdoors, nice and cute seating. I would recommend to go if your looking to grab a quick bite to eat, but if you are looking for more of a fine dining experience, I would not recommend you come visit. You can get more for your money elsewhere. I won’t be returning

We had a girls meeting there which is always fun, Anytime you need an app with the girls lol. The food was pretty good. But I had to give Service a one star. Our waiter kept disappearing on us literally for like 20 to 30 minutes at a time and we had to ask other servers to assist us. What I found crazy is that manager didn’t come over at all. But we didn’t make a bit fuss of it because again it was the girls time and we enjoyed spending time despite the POOR Service.

The chopped salad was absolutely amazing! The salmon on top was cooked to perfection- perfectly flaky and moist. Just superb. For the majority of our meeting it was quiet, but around noon the crowd came and it was a bit hard to hear. Successful meeting, good food. I will be back. I really, enjoyed it.
