DESSERT: Yeah I know that comes last... but it's my review so it comes FIRST!
I couldn't put the fork down! The cheesecakes consistency was exactly on point and the macadamia nuts brought amazing flavor and were a great addition to the texture ! Accompanied by fresh berries and candied orange slices my only complaint would be that I would have loved for the sauce to have been incorporated more... maybe just a drizzle on top... I found myself scraping the plate with every bite for a dab of sauce. I saved the best for last THE MIMOSA TRUFFLE... I could have taken an order of them with one of their freshly made ice-creams and the lovely barely enough sauce and I would have been in heaven!
ATMOSPHERE: Totally trendy. The selling point has to be mentioned... the garage doors that allow the eatery to be converted into an open air restaurant! Brings big style to this little city!
* I should get my low point of my meal out of the way... I'm not a drinker but the first drink I ever had and really liked besides a Mimosa I had at 26! It's the Kermit The Frog Martini... I usually have one on my birthday as a celebration and was totally disappointed when the waiter told me the new bartender did not know how to make the drink... so ginger-ale it was for me. I should also mention they were having a free wine tasting that night so if you aren't partial to anything particular I'm sure they have something for you! 
THE FOOD: Spectacular as always... I stuck with my tried and true Happy Hour pleasures... Sesame Peanut Sauce/Chicken Satay and the always amazing Gouda Macaroni and Cheese (off of the regular menu)
VERDICT: If you have read my "to-go" review then you already know I don't have anything bad to say about 26... The staff is always pleasant and more than accommodating and I love dining in the city and there just aren't many options so I commend 26 for sticking in there and providing Birmingham with this wonderful option!
