Highlands The national online reservation service, OpenTable, has named Highlands Bar and Grill in Birmingham one of the 10 best restaurants in America for 2014. The award is based on the opinions of more than five million restaurant reviews submitted by OpenTable diners in all 50 states. Opened by Chef Frank Stitt in 1982, Highlands has been a finalist for the James Beard Award as the country’s most outstanding restaurant for six years in a row. Stitt also owns two other popular Birmingham restaurants, Bottega Café and Chez Fonfon, a French-style bistro next door to Highlands. www.highlandsbarandgrill.com
