“ Our second visit to Cafe DuPont was not as pleasant as the first. The food was excellent but the service was a bit of a letdown. There were not enough servers for the amount of customers. On a Saturday night you would think it would be "All hands on deck". But this wasn't the case. We had 6:15 reservations for four. Promptly seated, and we waited and waited for our server. Upon his arrival, he took drink orders and appetizer orders. Our appetizers arrived approximately 10 minutes before our wine. Each time he came by, he seemed in a rush to get to another table and he was. After dinner and dessert, we were left waiting for our bill and as we were, I noticed several other people waiting with a disappointing face. That's when I realized, we were not the only people dissatisfied. Do better DuPont, you're much better than that. ”

“ Beautiful traditional atmosphere with attentive and knowledgeable staff. This was also an incredible dining experience, complete with amuse bouche, a palate cleanser and end of meal chocolates. The foie gras was the best bite of the night, served on French toast with a berry gastrique, chutney and spiced pairs. The smoked ribeye was delicious and tender with a giant cap. You could really taste the smoky flavor, and it paired excellently with the Boursin potato gratin. The lamb chops were also tender and the veal reduction was delicious. Dessert was good, but not as outstanding as the rest of the meal. ”

“ My husband and me went on February 13th to eat before Valentine's Day and we valet parked. The valet stole 2 golf clubs out of our car. I called to talk to a manager and gave my number. Nobody called me back. I'm not blaming but I think I high end restaurant needs to know the valets are stealing things out of cars. ”

“ Dinner last night, Tuesday 2/18/25. Menu changes daily. Recommendation from a friend who is local in Bham. Walking in the restaurant is quite quaint. A look and feel they nailed. The hostess was pleasant and directed us to our table, very soft spoken. The service is very good, after the host we were greeted by a gentleman who filled our water glasses and then our waiter arrived. After a short introduction, brief history of the place and menu we ordered a cocktail and placed our entree orders. I ordered the Old Fashioned, light on simple syrup, it was fantastic. For my meal I asked for help, should I go with the Flounder or Joyce Farms Chicken Breast? Without hesitation our server (Brandon I think) recommended the chicken. He also mentioned it has been highlighted as a "top 22 things to do in Birmingham". The dish was amazing! A plentiful lightly bread chicken breast. Buttermilk-fried, served over truffled creamed potatoes (melt in your mouth) with 3 or 4 large asparagus and lightly covered with a lemon beurre blanc sauce. Easily one of the best chicken dishes I've ever had. Absolutely a hit by the chef. Service, food presentation & taste, and over all atmosphere were all 5 ! ”

“ This is the best French restaurant in this state. I would recommend everything here but the beignets are amazing. ”

“ What can I say, this restaurant is a staple in Birmingham for a reason! I cannot overstate the beauty of the facility, the niceness of the staff, and the elegance of the presentation! The details, such as custom plates and bowls, really add to the charm of this early 20th-century gem. My wife had the steak and the snapper and my only word is amazing! I would say that this is an excellent date night spot as the lights are low, the drinks are great, and the food is out of this world! ”

“ Celebrated a dear friend's birthday. Cuisine was fabulous!! Service is always first class. With that said, we had a new server who was still training. He was not up to the high standard we are use to at Cafe Dupont but the evening was amazing. Ambiance is always a favorite! The lovely, simple but elegant French decor with lovely wall sconces and warm lighting truly welcomes diners. ”

“ Birthday dinner. Nice ambiance. Food excellent- scallops were cooked to perfection, snapper was okay. Loved the lemon crème brûlée. Service was the best I've had in a while- Cayla was very pleasant and knowledgeable of menu. Valet or street parking ”

“ We had a fantastic visit to Cafe DuPont. Our server Summer, was amazing and explained everything from the meal timing to entrees wonderfully. The overall atmosphere was very cozy. I do recommend reservations, we had a reservation for 2 and the restaurant was completely full. Parking is somewhat limited, it is street only but they do offer valet. ”
