It honestly feels a little like you stumbled into a hidden spot on vacation. The food was solid across the board. You can tell they actually care about what they're serving, everything tasted fresh, not heavy or overdone. The menu has a great mix, from burgers to pasta and seafood, so it's easy to find something no matter what you're in the mood for. The shrimp and grits and the pasta dishes are delicious , and even the appetizers were on point. Service was just as good, friendly, attentive, but not hovering. You don't feel rushed, which is rare these days. What really makes this place though is the vibe. Whether you sit inside or out, it's got that relaxed, slightly upscale but still comfortable feel. If you're in Fairhope and want somewhere that feels local (not touristy), this is it. Easy 5 stars. Will definitely go back!!

We were in Fairhope for the day and chose to eat lunch here after reading reviews…read more We were seated right away and all the staff are very friendly. It was a nice day so we sat outside in a cool little ally. We started with bruschetta which was great. Not what we think of but delicious. For entrees I went with the meatball sub wife went with the arugula pecan salad with ahi, son got Cesar with ahi and daughter got the flatbread which was a caprese. Everyone loved their entrees. The only negative was the meatballs were a little dry. Would definitely go back though.

A Reuben sanwich, cuban sanwich, springhill turkey and bacon sandwich. All of us enjoyed our sandwich. I was apprehensive about the cuban sandwich and Bob said many people like it, I told him my roots are in Miami Florida the heart of little Havana. He said the bread would not be exact as the bread is hard to get up here. He was correct, the bread was tasty though and the sandwich was tasty. The place was just getting started for the day but pretty busy at Noon on Saturday and a little on the quiet side. Everyone here was very friendly, Bob even came by to see how the cuban sanwich tasted. A great service touch point. We will be back.

She was very blunt at that time, but at 2:20, I went back to order one more sandwich. She said "it'll have to be togo" I said "no that's okay, you can make it for here" (as we were already sitting down and eating), and she said "no we're closing." I work in the industry and that is actually ridiculous. 15-30 mins sure but it was 40 minutes from their closing time AND we were already in the building! From well before 2pm! Honestly tainted the entire experience and really made me angry. I don't even write Yelp reviews but this girl got under my skin. I hope she reads this and does better.

There is outdoor seating As well as indoor seating for guests including tables, booths, and a bar top. Wait Time: Can call to get reservations as the restaurant can get busy but wait times are not that long for lunch. Service: The service was well done with the waitress being attentive and friendly while not being overbearing. Food: Can be hit or miss with some inconsistency in the shrimp and grits ordered between same day orders and different day orders. The food has both healthy options for those on a diet and more hearty foods for those who want southern comfort food.

It was my wife's birthday, and thus she had the privilege to choose where we would go for brunch…read more I had previously decided that I would not dine at this restaurant again, not because I had some gripe about the food, which was excellent, but because their table arrangement in the main dinning area made it difficult for wheelchair bound customers, such as myself, to navigate. This was not a hard and solid decision on my part. Instead I had decided that if I had my druthers, I would not eat there. Of course when it is my babécita's birthday my druthers were of no consideration and I found myself again at Tamara's for a Saturday brunch. We arrived to find the main dinning area to be full, and since we didn't feel like eating in the open to the outside area, we learned that we had an estimated 20-30 minutes wait for a table. Their was six to eight customers waiting around the hostess's stand inside, with another six waiting outside under a covered area. We decided to wait outside, but after about 15 minutes a rain shower began. The kind people waiting on the benches and standing under the awning encouraged us to move in further from the edge where they we were getting wet. A couple standing moved into the restaurant to make even more room for us. The hostess, seeing that it was raining outside when this couple opened the door, came to the door and invited us all in, announcing that she would make room for us all. Which she promptly did. My wife had informed the hostess of my needs, and had requested a corner table for ease of access, but once inside the restaurant, I noticed that the table arrangement seemed less crowded, which helped to ease my concerns about getting to a table. As it happened, right at the 20 minute mark, we were informed that our table was ready, and we were led to a table, not on a corner, but to a table at the end of a row of tables, and against a partition. I found this arrangement even better than our requested corner table, as it meant that I had no foot traffic behind me that I might inadvertently bump into, or bump into me. I was grateful for the evidently experienced hostess working out such a fine alternative to our request, and doing it in such a timely manner. Now I get to the food, and wait staff service. All I can say is that Tamara's management has both pegged to the highest degree. Our waiter appeared immediately, took our orders since we had perused the menu while we were waiting to be seated. As for our food, my birthday girl had the Spinach Eggs Benedict, and I had the Fried Chicken and Waffles. Both were excellent. Neither of us had a single complaint, and my wife, who is fascinated with Tamara's long list of various types of Eggs Benedicts, promised that we will be back for many more visits to try each one. I am grateful that I was forced to forego my pledge not to patronize this establishment again, as it provided an opportunity to learn how the good people at Tamara's made adjustments that allowed my experience to be enjoyed more fully. I am also grateful in that we can continue to enjoy their excellent food.

First off, the ambiance is very nice--comfortable, welcoming, and a great setting for a casual evening out. The service was also very good. Our server was attentive and friendly, which definitely made a positive impression. As for the food: * Raw oysters ($22): Fresh, plump, and overall very good quality. That said, it almost felt like each oyster had a bit of added salt, which threw me off a little. Not bad, just slightly off from what I'd expect. * Sushi-grade ahi tuna appetizer ($14): This was one of the highlights--very good flavor and nicely prepared. * Gumbo (large - $12): Probably the biggest disappointment. I'd rate it about a 5/10. It wasn't terrible, but it lacked depth and richness compared to what you'd expect in this region. * Happy hour mimosa ($3) and margarita ($6): Solid for the price--no complaints there. Total came out to about $62 cash ($64.30 with card fee), which feels reasonable for what we ordered. Overall, this is a place I'd come back to if I were already in the area and someone suggested it, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way for. If I did return, it would likely be for the oysters or the ahi tuna. Good experience, just not quite memorable enough to push it past three stars.
