Pauli’s restaurant (www.paulisbarandgrill.com/) has become one of the better fine dining opportunities in Huntsville. It is located west of downtown on University Drive in a "strip mall," but the large orange awnings set it apart from the anonymous eatery. Inside, Pauli has decorated with warm, inviting colors. The space is intimate, and reservations are definitely a good idea. Pauli offers a changing menu of upscale selections including a healthy range of seafood (big bowl of mussels) and freshwater fish (crawfish cakes sateed with spicy romoulade) to wood grilled meats (New Zealand farm raised venison served with porcini mushroom ragout and polenta) to name a few. The complete menu is on his website. Prices run on the high side for Huntsville ($12 – 25 per entree). The service is professional, and Pauli is often on hand to ensure that your current visit will not be your last.
If you like the food, you can also pick up refrigerated portions in the nearby Pauli’s wine shop and deli. An extensive review by the Huntsville Times (www.al.com/news/huntsville/1998-05-21/) rates it a must with nearly perfect scores in all categories, and I heartily agree.
