Open Table, a national online reservation website, has named Daniel George Restaurant in Mountain Brook, the most beautiful restaurant in Alabama. The 50-state list was published by People Magazine.

Called “dg”, the fine dining restaurant located at 2837 Culver Road in Mountain Brook Village, was established in 2000 by current owner Daniel Briggs and then business partner George McMillan III.

“It is an honor that Open Table chose Daniel George, among all of its customers in Alabama, as the most beautiful restaurant.  We renovated the space in 2021 which included the new lighting, concrete floors and a marble bar.  The white curtains seem to have made a statement as well as the new black and white color scheme.”

In addition to lighting and a marble bar, the hanging demijohns, a glass drop used in wine making and storage, is absolutely stunning. Here they are up close.
