Epiphany Cafe

Epiphany Cafe is a fine dining establishment specializing in New American cuisine with Asian influences focusing on organic meats and locally grown organic produce, as well as sustainably caught or raised seafood. The menu is updated with fresh offerings on a weekly basis.

We have an outstanding wine list focusing on boutique wineries and small production wines. The separate wine and martini lounge features leather love seats and an intimate setting. The Lounge has a separate small plate menu, especially suitable for light or late-night dining.

For larger groups and private functions Epiphany offers a private room seating up to thirty five people which is available free of charge for parties of fifteen or more.

"We went for Valentine's Day and it was absolutely out of this world. My date was greeted with a rose upon arrival and we were treated to a wonderful 4 course dinner. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great / romantic night"

"I've been here three times now, and every time the food and service has been top notch! The food is a bit expensive, but you get what you pay for! The dishes are all divine and very creative with excellent presentation. It's by far the best fine dining in Tuscaloosa! I can't wait to return again."

"My wife and I went for an early Valentine's Day dinner on Saturday night. It is definitely our "go-to" place for special occasions, but we're always surprised at how reasonable it is. We have vowed to go more often.
The food is outstanding! My wife had the shrimp and grits, which she loved. My crab fritters were delicious. Don't miss it! This is a wonderful restaurant. Not just good for Tuscaloosa -- first-rate for anywhere!"

"We had a reservation, but our table was given away to someone who did not have a reservation. We waited at the bar and were told that it would only be a few minutes. Not a big deal, but then they gave our table away again, so we were not seated until 20 minutes after our reserved time. My husband and I ended up sitting at a table for 6, which was awkward. Our server was nice, but did not tell us the specials and did not ask us if we had any questions about the menu. I expected more "hands-on" service. The food was okay, but nothing spectacular. We live in Birmingham and only eat dinner in Tuscaloosa a few times a year. We will probably choose another restaurant the next time we eat dinner in Tuscaloosa."
