The Silvertron Cafe - We Loved It!

These two graciously posed for a photo at the tasting event I where I first tasted, and then raved, over their white chocolate bread pudding. My apologies to the bride -- I did not get her name.

My husband and I dined recently at Silvertron. Our food was cooked to perfection. The service was outstanding. This has become a new favorite. I can see us becoming regulars. You can see their fabulous menu at The Silvertron Cafe.

This is my meal from our Sunday brunch this week -- well, most of it, anyway. As you can probably see, I had already begun eating when I remembered to snap this photo. I tried to make the plate look pretty again, and cropped out as much of the messy part as possible.

My husband and I go to Sunday brunch every Sunday after church. Okay, now and then we don't make it to church. After going to the same restaurant almost every Sunday for about a year, we decided to branch out and sample other fare. This week we went to The Silvertron Cafe in the Forest Park community of Birmingham. The main reason we went there was that we were impressed with their food at the recent tasting event. But we had already been thinking of trying The Silvertron because it was highlighted on the US Airways Dividend Dining Miles' list of member restaurants.

This is a great way to have a great meal and get airline miles, too; and you actually do get the points, unlike some of those credit cards. You know the ones I mean, the ones where the bank insists they sent the miles/points to the airline, but the airline swears they never got them....

But back to Silvertron: We loved it and will definitely go there again. And yes, we ordered the white chocolate bread pudding.

This looks like a cozy little bar for having an intimate drink with your special someone after a play or a movie, a trip to the art museum, or maybe just a a rainy afternoon.

I found the art of Eric Johnson very interesting, detailed, and of high quality.

My problem? A house with one of those open floor plans and, therefore, less walls on which to hang art - mine or anyone else's. (I work in watercolors and acrylics.) I liked Eric's metal art so much that I decided to include it in this lens. The art on display at Silvertron rotates frequently.

You can see his work and that of many other Birmingham artists at Naked Art USA.

The building that now houses The Silvertron Cafe was once a TV store: a Silver-Tron TV store. Hence the name of the cafe.

The Forest Park neighborhood is quirky, cool, pretty, and fun. There are lots of little restaurants and cafes, galleries and shops. This great little restaurant is near the intersection that borders the golf course of Highlands Country Club. Birmingham has many historic neighborhoods. Visit some when you can.

Across the street from The Silvertron Cafe, in this wonderfully electic neighborhood, is Zoe, a shop of vintage clothing, gifts, and other items. This sleepy kitty was snoozing away the rainy afternoon in the window. He/she glanced up at me, then resumed napping. See more photos of the cute kitties who live at Zoe, go to ZoeShop.
