Iz The Place - Vestavia Hills

We recently held my son’s rehearsal dinner at Iz the Place. Everything was PERFECTION. I had received several recommendations from friends and had asked for a general estimate to get a feel for the cost. I was very pleased with the estimate and I booked them immediately without ever having even been in the venue. I had seen pictures online and from friends and knew it was the place.Melissa was my point of contact, and she was wonderful. She was on top of everything and helped with this nervous Mother of the Groom at every turn with a smile on her face. I met with her a month before the rehearsal dinner and she was very helpful with suggestions and I even made upgrades to the menu since the estimate was under what we had budgeted. Melissa is a very warm and caring person and is very knowledgeable about events, menus, etc. She went out of her way to accommodate us so that we could decorate earlier when we had conflicts with other events we had to attend that day.Everyone raved about the food and how lovely everything was. The two wait-staff were fantastic. They were everywhere at all times. I realized we didn't have a gift table and they got that set up in the middle of putting down salad plates before I could even turn around. The bartender was taking care of the bar and any questions that I had as well. The rehearsal ended earlier than expected and people arrived 30 minutes early. But the staff didn't blink an eye. The bar was opened early and everyone just socialized until everything was ready.The food was fantastic. Every bite I put into my mouth was delicious. The passed appetizers were a huge hit. We had fried mac-n-cheese bites, loaded potato bites, and phyllo dough wrapped sausages. Several people commented they could have just eaten the mac-n-cheese bites and been perfectly happy with just that. Our dinner was a buffet with grilled chicken, beef tenderloin, fettuccine alfredo, mixed vegetables, garden salad, and rolls. The seasoning on the grilled chicken was fantastic. The beef tenderloin was flavorful and juicy. Everyone enjoyed the fettuccine alfredo and the mixed vegetables as well. As soon as the pans were empty, they were quickly refilled. And the dessert bites set at each table were fought over!! We had strawberry cake/icing, cheesecake bites, and chocolate mousse bombs. It could not have been any better and I would not have changed a single thing.I highly recommend Iz the Place. The venue was beautiful, the food was amazing, and the staff was top notch. The price was reasonable in my opinion considering what all was included and based on other estimates I’ve seen from other venues. You won’t regret using them.

Excellent food. Whether dropping in for a sandwich or using them to cater an event in my home, I've always been very happy with the quality and professionalism.

The plated dinner for rehearsal was amazing! Friendly staff and phenomenal food.

Kay and her staff catered a wedding at Red Gates at Kelly Creek. The food and service were fabulous. I highly recommend Iz for any gathering or wedding.

We stopped for lunch during work one day and I was so happy with the food! I had a grilled pimento cheese sandwich and it was amazing. With fresh fruit on the side, the cost was less than $10.If I wasn't diabetic, I'd have dessert that's the real attraction!! Almond cake or one of their chocolate selections it all looks amazing! I'll be back!
