"Montgomery's premier rooftop table - seasonal small plates and crisp pizza over the downtown skyline, atop the Trilogy Hotel."
Waterworks Rooftop crowns the Trilogy Hotel Montgomery, an Autograph Collection property in the city's downtown historic district. The open-air deck looks out over the Montgomery skyline, a calm perch above the streets below.
The kitchen leans on fresh, seasonal small plates and wood-fired flatbreads. It anchors part of our city coverage alongside our pizza picks, as Montgomery's leading rooftop address.
The menu is built for sharing: seasonal small plates, crisp rooftop pizzas, grilled shrimp tacos with a zesty slaw, and Southern fried chicken with house-made biscuits. It runs alongside an inventive cocktail list - the Hazy Russian and the Waterworks Margarita among the signatures - plus select wines and craft beer.
This is relaxed, view-first cooking rather than a destination kitchen: easy plates designed to keep pace with sunset drinks.
The draw is the setting - an open-air rooftop with skyline views, warm lighting and an easy after-work buzz, with an indoor bar for cooler evenings. It is sociable and unstuffy, equally suited to a date or a group catching the sunset.
It opens evenings, Wednesday through Sunday, and fills on warm weekends, so a booking helps.
Waterworks Rooftop suits a relaxed first date, a sociable birthday, or an after-work team dinner. For other Montgomery tables, compare Central, Vintage Year or The House.
Not for a formal, white-tablecloth dinner or a winter weeknight - it is a seasonal open-air rooftop built for drinks, small plates and the view.
