" Last week, I took my parents to La Fête because I wanted to share this gem with them. The place was buzzing which set a lively tone. Each of us tried different dishes: the burger, the caesar salad, and the daily special of trout. My burger was somewhat disappointing as I found it a little bland compared to the others, but the trout stole the show with its aromatic flavor. The service was friendly but erratic at times—some dishes came faster than others. Nonetheless, they agree on returning, and I'm hoping for a complete win next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to La Fête with a friend for dinner last week, having heard raving reviews. The ambiance was indeed charming. The starters, especially the cheese plate, were divine but the pace of service made dining less enjoyable—the wait for mains was rather long. Once my salmon dish arrived, I was appeased thanks to its delectable taste. But as for the service aspect, they appeared rushed, which made my experience feel somewhat uncoordinated. I hope it can improve because I very much want to come back for their dessert, which I heard is excellent. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Fête on a Saturday night, and it was quite busy! I did enjoy the cozy atmosphere filled with chatter and laughter. The staff handled the busyness well, although our drinks took a bit longer to arrive. I thoroughly enjoyed the cheese plate starter, and the snapper for the main course was fine; however, it wasn't wow. Luckily, the dessert, a rich chocolate mousse, redeemed it. I will definitely give it another shot since I believe it has potential for improvement. Next time, I’ll arrive early to avoid the weekend rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Fête has a delightful atmosphere that made our dinner feel special. The menu was exciting, featuring a lovely balance of classic and unique French dishes. I loved the starter of potato pavé and for the main course, the snapper was cooked to perfection. However, our dessert—though beautifully plated—was slightly too rich for my taste. The service hit some bumps; I felt a bit rushed at the end. I will definitely come back to try more from their menu, especially for brunch. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you consider yourself a foodie, La Fête is a must-visit. They present a creative twist on classic French dishes that are unique but still maintain authenticity. I loved their truffle fries—think sophisticated flavor in a humble dish! The ambiance is chic and welcoming but a hint lively. It’s perfect for gatherings with friends! Overall, the food alone is worth a trip, but the service has been decent too. I haven't faced any unreasonable waits but do expect a busy vibe, especially on weekends. " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried La Fête for our anniversary and were thoroughly impressed. The moment we walked in, we felt transported to a quaint French bistro. The décor was charming, and the ambiance was perfect for a romantic evening. We started with the cheese plate and oysters, which were both fresh and delicious. For the main course, I had the steak au poivre, and my partner opted for the snapper. Every bite was flavorful. Service was attentive without being intrusive. We can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally made it to La Fête after hearing wonderful things about their food. The menu had a nice variety, and I decided to try the mushroom tart and the steak. I wasn't disappointed; both were flavorful and well-prepared. The service, however, felt a bit distant; I would have appreciated a more engaging approach from the staff. In general, this restaurant is a great addition to Birmingham's dining scene. I have high hopes for my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)
