Global cuisine with emphasis on seasonal ingredients. Upscale, comfortable surroundings, with an open kitchen. Creative preparations of seafood, meats, salads and vegetarian dishes. On the same menu you might see influences from Asia, the Caribbean, Italy, the Middle East, and the American South. The heirloom tomato salad is so popular that the Birmingham News publishes an article when it becomes available in the summer. Chef Chris Hastings, who owns Hot & Hot with his wife Idie, has been recognized both locally and nationally by the media and fine food organizations, including a 2007 finalist for the "Best Chef in the South" James Beard Award. He is active in promoting local independent restaurants.

Occasionally have eaten at this place since it opened. There has been a steady and slow decline. I was quite pleased the first few times I ate here. The atmosphere is nice, the selection, presentation, and taste were all good. The last several times I ate here, there were only about 2-3 seafood items on the menu (1-2 of which were shellfish) and the rest was all other meats (beef, chicken, etc.). Hardly a seafood place. Furthermore, the service was mediocre and food good but not worth the price. Prefer Ocean for consistently good seafood in terms of variety and preparation. "The View" at the "The Club" has shown promise latley in terms of their seafood.
