There were several empty booths and tables, but I was told I needed a reservation to sit at one. I was happy to sit at the bar, only to be told the stools I initially tried were reserved as well. I understand a reservation policy, but it was frustrating to see so many empty tables while having to wait for food/service at the bar. The restaurant didn't really begin filling up until around 6:00, and what I hoped would be a quick stop turned into over an hour. I usually order/eat quickly to be in and out. I wish there had been a little more flexibility with seating, especially right at opening.

Dark wood interiors, cobblestone streets right outside, and big windows that flood the room with natural light create the perfect backdrop for a relaxed and elegant meal. The food is outstanding. Classic New Orleans inspired flavors meet Gulf Coast freshness. The crab-topped benedict with silky hollandaise is rich and satisfying, and the crispy potatoes are cooked to perfection. Paired with fresh coffee and warm service, it is a brunch that feels special from the first sip to the last bite. Service was excellent also! If you are looking for a place in Mobile that blends history, charm, and unforgettable food, Bistro Saint Emanuel is a must. #EatSipTravel

Came here Sunday May 3rd around 1pm. Was busy but not completely full where you had to wait for a table. We sat down and waited for our server to take our order. It took our server about 20 mins to come over and take our order. So we put in our food order when the server came by to take our drink order. Food took about 40 mins from when we ordered to when we got our food. I used to work in restaurants (the busiest of restaurants) and know that you should staff more, prep more, and place larger food orders in anticipation of being fully booked friday night till sunday night. I ordered gumbo. My niece got biscuits and gravy. The gumbo was pretty good except would have liked the roux a little thicker. The gravy on the biscuits was lacking in flavor.

We sat towards the back of the place this time in a smaller room- perfect for a smaller group of 4. Ordered some seasonal oysters, delicious. The Tuna Crudo was amazing and unlike anything I have ever had before- the coffee taste and the sweetness of the kiwi was delightful. As for the entree- I went with the same Alabama Blue Crab Cake I had from before. The first time we came, we were with a large party and there was talk about the crab cake being a bit too much 'filler'. This time is was loaded with crab and I was thrilled to be able to experience it again. The salad is great and the rice grits were soft and a perfect base. An elegant place with an amazing menu. Well done. Cocktails are also top tier with their eccentric ingredients and presentation.

This is a nice restaurant serving Gulf seafood and Southern cuisine with sustainable sourcing. According to the restaurant, it was a James Beard Foundation "Smart Catch Leader" three years in a row (2021-2023). Also, executive chef Jim Smith was nominated for the 2026 James Beard Award for Best Chef: South. The restaurant is located in the Oakleigh Garden Historic District, a quiet neighborhood in the downtown area with oak-lined streets and Victorian-style homes. The Hummingbird Way has that clean, modern, "farm-to-table" look and fits right in. I had dinner with a group of seven on a Thursday night around 7pm. We left before 9pm. During our visit, the restaurant wasn't very busy. We had the back room all to ourselves. Here's what I had: Libations (cocktails) * The Hummingbird ($12) - gin, St-Germain, soda, lemon, and lime Oyster Bar - Raw - $3 each * Murder Point (AL) * Grande Batture (AL) * Wild 504s (LA) * Farewell Cove (ME) * Fire Lake (PEI) * Shigoku (WA) Biscuit Service * House Buttermilk Biscuits ($10) - with whipped butter, cane syrup, and smoked sea salt Soup * Turtle (LA) Soup ($20) - sherry, farm eggs, and herbs Starters * Late Harvest Tomato Salad ($18) - mascarpone, cucumber, spring onion, shaved zucchini, sherry saba, and pickled herbs * Yellowfin Tuna Crudo (AL) ($24) - Galia melon, coffee, walnut, EVOO, sweet pepper, basil, whole grain mustard, lemon, and black pepper Mains * Oyster Omelette ($20) - rolled French omelette with fried oysters, creme fraiche, arugula, and herbs; added caviar (+$24) Dessert * Chocolate Chip Cookies for the Table. $3 each. * Blind Faith cocktail ($16) - peanut-infused Bumbu rum, Abita root beer reduction, and chocolate orange bitters In general, from the food to the drink, everything was delicious and presented beautifully. I love raw oysters and thought the oysters here were terrific -- fresh and flavorful. I loved how the biscuits were served with both butter and syrup. I think I liked the Turtle Soup more than anyone else who tried it. It wasn't bad, and I thought it was worth ordering. Our server Liz W recommended the Tomato Salad to me because of the mascarpone and I thought it was a great recommendation. I was disappointed in the portion size of the Oyster Omelette, particularly because it was listed as a "Main." Liz told us the caviar was Russian Osetra. I did find the omelette to be a bit heavy because the oysters were fried, so maybe that's why it was small. In hindsight, I would have chosen a different entree like the Butter-Cured Double-Bone Elk (NZ) Chop with English pea puree, charred red okra, and port wine beet sauce ($60), which one of my friends got. It looked really good. The warm Chocolate Chip Cookies were fantastic, as was my dessert cocktail. If you're looking for a tasty dessert cocktail, the Blind Faith is a good one to get. To give you an idea of other menu offerings and price points, some of my friends had the Fried Alabama Blue Crab Claws with cocktail sauce ($20), the Alabama Blue Crab Claws marinated with chili, lime, and herbs ($20), and the Alabama Blue Crab Cake prepared with Mississippi rice grits, sweet soy butter, and pickled mushroom salad ($42). Also, someone had the Frog & Waffle, which consisted of chicken-fried frog legs with jalapeno waffle, radish, mustard veloute, and cane-lemon-sherry syrup ($18). I couldn't eat the crab because I'm allergic to it. Service was excellent. Liz was great. The Hummingbird Way Oyster Bar opened on January 7, 2020.

I had the seafood basket with a side, Caesar salad. I think the menu had it listed as six shrimp and two catfish fillets. Mine came with two fillets and four shrimp, the shrimp were quite small like 36-50 size, and very chewy. The fish was greasy but fairly moist, with decent crunch. To clarify the issue with the size of the shrimp, most restaurants in the area will serve 26-35 or larger with an entrée. The Caesar salad had great flavor and plenty of crunchy croutons and romaine stems, there was a few brown and wilted leaves mixed in so it was kind of off putting once I found those. The bread that came with the platter was lightly toasted but flavorless, took one bite, left the rest. Service was fairly lackluster, which is unusual given their high level of service at the downtown location. My side salad came out with my entrée at the same time, which is kind of a pet peeve of mine, but maybe I should've asked that it come out ahead of my hot food . I just usually assume that most restaurants do this so maybe that one's on me. Neither my fish or shrimp were very warm, almost like they were waiting on the salad? Also, it was kind of creepy that a lot of the servers and staff were just standing around leaning on the walls at the back of the dining room, just seemed off. I actually came in here, wanting to have their tuna sandwich, which I've had in the past at the other location and it was phenomenal. Sadly, it is no longer on the menu. We'll definitely come back here and give it another shot because i do like the menu options and atmosphere.
