The Harvest is the ground-floor restaurant of The Redmont Hotel at 2101 5th Avenue North in downtown Birmingham. It pairs farm-to-table cooking built on regional ingredients with an Italian accent, and locals and hotel guests book it for date nights, pre-theater dinners, and celebrations.
The setting carries real history. The Redmont opened in 1925 and is Birmingham’s oldest operating hotel. A major renovation, completed around 2018, gave the dining room a polished modern look while keeping the building’s early-20th-century character. Expect warm lighting, a handsome bar, and a pace suited to lingering conversation. The menu changes with Alabama’s growing seasons. House-made pastas and wood-roasted proteins sit alongside Southern produce and Gulf seafood, so ask your server what is freshest that week. The cocktail and wine lists favor Italian bottles and classic builds, which suit a long dinner.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Reserve ahead for Friday and Saturday evenings and for nights with downtown concerts or shows. Weeknight dinners and earlier seatings are quieter. Hours and menus can shift, so confirm both directly with the hotel before you go. The Alabama and Lyric theatres are a short walk away, which makes The Harvest an easy pre-show choice. Linn Park, the Birmingham Museum of Art, and the Civil Rights District are also within walking or quick rideshare distance. After dinner, ride the elevator to the hotel’s rooftop bar for skyline views. Valet and nearby garages handle parking.
