OvenBird made a splash last fall when it opened. Renowned chef Chris Hastings says he dreamed up the concept nearly 20 years ago. Customers are not only treated to flavorful dishes, but exceptional customer service. Hastings even greets customers when he can.

Now, patrons are also raving about one of its dishes with a unique name – Seafood Fideos.

See the inspiration behind this dish and restaurant in the heart of downtown Birmingham.
