We were greeted by the nicest bartender while we awaited our reservation. The server was very friendly and professional. She appeared to enjoy her job. The food was excellent. All of our party loved their entree! We will definitely be back! read more

I was pretty disappointed with my first experience here. We came for Sunday Brunch. I was really looking forward to something delicious. I had a nice time because I was there with friends. The biscuits with whipped hibiscus butter were yummy and the sax player played beautifully. We started with the "Beignets á la Dauphin's" with mango sauce. There were five 1"x 1 1/2" beignets. We had trouble locating the mango sauce but they were good enough and we happily ate them. My entrée was a bit sad. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken itself was pretty good. It had great flavor and was nice and hot. However, the eggs and waffles were not edible. The waffles were cold in the center and hard (I was really expecting some delicious Belgian Waffles.) I kind of hope they were not made that day because they tasted like they must be old, stale or dare I say.... still slightly frozen. They were bad. I always eat my food but I was not able to eat them. If those were made that day they have greater issues to deal with. I took one bite of my eggs (they were cold) and tried a little of the waffle. In the end I just ate the chicken and was super grateful for the biscuits. My husband ordered a bowl of "Gumbo Z'herb" which he said was nothing like gumbo and just tasted like a bowl of greens with a few pieces of sausage in it. I definitely was not blown away in the slightest And question whether I would come back to try dinner. I'm leaning heavily toward NO right now. All that being said, I had a great time with my friends. read more

Go for the views! The food is consistent, but it's the views that will get you, especially at dusk. This is a romantic place to have dinner, but their lunch and brunch menus are solid. Mobile, AL, isn't a steak town, but you can get a good strip or filet here. Their Caribbean-inspired dishes are also good, including the Cuban pork and black beans. read more

The food was a little pricey but you're paying for the beautiful review. We also sat at the bar before dinner and I have to commend the bartenders. They had a lot of customers there but those ladies were hustling and getting everyone their drinks quickly! read more

We went for lunch today! Super affordable and delicious! I started off my lunch with the soup & salad ($9). The soup was shrimp chowder and the salad was a Caesar salad! Both were delicious! Honestly, I was pretty full after this and I could have just eaten that as a meal and been fine! I did get an entree however! I got the shrimp tacos ($11) and they were AMAZING. I forgot to take a picture of them. They have a yummy slaw on top and are served with sidewinder potato wedges. So good!!! And you can't beat the view! My fiancé and I have been here for dinner before and it was quite expensive, so we probably wouldn't do it again. Lunch, however, is much more affordable and delish! read more

We make sure we visit any time we're in the area. The food, ambiance, and service are always excellent! The Dolphin Tres Salsas wasn't my favorite, but the shrimp and grits was one of the best I've had anywhere! The Joe Cain dip is a great appetizer, the Baldwin is my favorite salad, and the Bon Bons were a perfect finisher. Thanks for always being a highlight of our trips home. read more

Pros: service (waitress Stephanie I believe?) was awesome and the view is amazing. Cons: food. It was meh. I got the fish of the day plate with the squash and coconut rice and beans. The squash was really good, but I didn't detect any coconut flavor in the other side dish and it just kind of tasted like a Uncle Ben's black beans and rice side dish. My fish was slightly overdone and the cornbread that came out before the meal was dry and cold. For such a nice place, I was definitely expecting much much more. If I have been here for dinner with those prices, I would have actually been pretty upset. But since I was paying lunch prices, which are pretty reasonable at $15 including tax for a full plate come on I'll start it up really good experience and service interview. read more

Came here for an anniversary dinner for the in-laws. We loved it! My fish was perfectly cooked, our waiter, Stevie P. was very attentive and took great care of us. My hubby was well pleased with his stuffed Flounder although it was fishy compared to my Sheepshead. (I tend to like really white flaky fish) We were thankful they had a kids menu. ;-) and the kids were served first. We made a reservation a week in advance and at the last minute found we needed to add one more to our party. They were very accommodating and seemed more worried about our being uncomfortable than about having to switch things up despite being booked solid. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be back! read more

On vacation and in the mood for a good steak, Dauphin's came highly recommended so we stopped in for dinner. We made reservations and arrived a little early so we had a pre-meal cocktail to start off with. Our bartender was friendly and greeted us warmly. I ordered an old fashion but was a little dismayed that a large orange slice was muddled into the drink. Not the classic version I'm accustomed too but not a total loss either so I powered through lol. Our hostess let us know our table was ready and walked us to our table. Located on the 34th floor and being seated by the window we had a great view of the city and the illuminated buildings in the downtown area. Our server came by and introduced himself and ran through the specials for the day and also made some wine recommendations. I decided to start with the poke' appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. Our server told us afterwards that the chef has just finished a stint in Hawaii and had recently added it to the menu, lucky for me. Next, I had the Gorgonzola, pear & baby spinach salad. Great contrast of the sweet pears and candies pecans against the Gorgonzola cheese, very tasty. For the main course I ordered the peppercorn crusted filet mignon. It came out a perfect medium rare. It was juicy and seasoned well. Finally, for dessert we treated ourselves to the white chocolate & sun dried cherry bread pudding a la mode. It was simply delicious. Warm and sweet that went perfectly with the ice cream. I will definitely return here the next time I'm in town and will bring my family. read more

What an experience. My husband and I have wanted to try Dauphin's for years. Finally I decided to surprise him with a date night in honor of Fathers Day. When we got there, there was a pianist who also was singing and sounded just like Frank Sinatra. It totally set the mood for the night. We were shown the waiting area by the attentive hosts until our table was ready. We went to the bar where I was served the best mojito I've ever had thanks to Hannah. Our table was ready shortly after and Annie was our server. She was so polished and kind. She definitely added to our amazing experience. The view spoke for itself. You'll never see Mobile more beautiful than you will dining at night at Dauphin's. The food from the Bama Gump appetizer to the Rasta Pasta and Island Bread Pudding was 10/10. I'm so impressed. I can't wait to plan our next date night to come back! read more

This place was great. We went to this restaurant during happy hour and were the only people here. We walked in and was seated right away. We couldn't decide what we wanted from the menu so we ordered one of each off of their happy hour menu. We were not disappointed as we enjoyed every dish. The drinks were fantastic and not watered down and the staff was attentive and kept our soda refilled. We sat at the window which gave us a great view of Mobile. We even got to spend time with a regular who recommended some dinner favorites. Our favorite dish was the Poke which was fresh. The sliders were flavorful with just the right amount of meat. They do have a sign requesting for individuals to come in casually dressy attire, which is becoming a lost dress code that I'm happy they are encouraging. I would definitely be back if I am ever in Mobile again because this place exceeded my happy hour expectations with a great view. read more

Overall, I really enjoyed Dauphin's! The atmosphere was great and the views were amazing. Visited this restaurant last Friday with family. We had reservations, so upon arrival it didn't take long to be seated. Once seated, our waitress greeted us and brought out our waters. We asked questions about the menu and she made recommendations. We started off with the La Piña de Plata and the Thyme Out. The were both good and refreshing. Next, our waitress brought out complimentary bread with hibiscus butter and regular butter. The hibiscus butter was a nice complement with the bread. My fiancé and I both ordered the Gulf Shrimp Chowder. It was good and flavorful. For entrees, we ordered the Baldwin Farmer's Plate and two orders of the Mauvilla Platter. My fiancé and I split one platter because it's pretty big. The oysters and shrimp were really good, but we weren't crazy about the flounder. My fiancé's mom really enjoyed the Baldwin Farmer's Plate and his dad enjoyed the Mauvilla Platter. They had enough leftover to take home too. We also decided to order another round of drinks, which we ordered the Ramble On and Top Floor Margarita. Both were really good drinks! Last, we ordered bread pudding (not pictured) and it was delicious! If you're in the area and looking for good food and drinks, try this place out! You won't regret it! read more

The view! Wow, absolutely breathtaking view of the city. We went downtown for Sunday brunch at Dauphin's. I had the Eggs Al la bama which consisted of fried green tomatoes, eggs, conecuh sausage, and potatoes. It was all covered in cheese and served with grits. Definitely not the healthy choice (although there were healthy options) but it was as delicious as it looks! There was a saxophonist playing which added to the ambience. The entire experience was beautiful. read more

The spectacular nature of the food, rivaled only by the immaculate conception, activated all five senses and may have introduced to me a sixth.

Would recommend and would return. read more

Headed to this place on my first night and Mobile and wasn't particularly impressed. When I arrived, I was happy to learn they were on the 34th floor with amazing views! I sat at the bar which didn't face the views but was still close enough that I could see everything. Happy hour here is awesome with almost everything on their menu half priced (drink wise). I ordered a vodka Thyme drink which was tasty but a bit sweeter than I would have liked. Josh and Hannah were excellent bartenders and gave me advice on what to order. I had a Caesar salad to start and crab claws for my dinner. They brought the salad out with a chilled fork which made me feel fancy. Unfortunately, my main dish wasn't as exciting. The quantity was large, but as I began to dig into my crab claws I started realizing this ammonia smell in my dish. This smell indicates that the seafood has gone bad and has been stored improperly or for too long. The sauce also drowned out the flavor of the blue crab which I didn't prefer. They should give a butter and garlic only option. I complained and they took the crab off my bill. This was generous and appreciated; but a place as grand as this should never serve rotten seafood. read more

I will say it again, a five star review for me is extremely rare, but Dauphine's could not be accurately represented by any less. I will say this... make a reservation! With your reservation indicate that you want to sit by the window and specify which direction you prefer. My friend brought me here for brunch one morning before heading. I was a little worried that I did not dress up more since the ambience was a little bit formal. They do not have a dress code but do not feel out of place. Maybe wear a button up or a nice top with jeans. Our waiter, Jimmothy was extraordinary! He had that "little something extra" that just made our experience feel like you were at a friend's dinner party. I recommend the make-your-own Bloody Mary. I ran out of room. Ask your waiter for a Cajun shrimp to top it off. The homemade biscuits are a must! Tried both the regular butter and the pink butter. read more

Went here with a friend on a Tuesday afternoon. Place was quiet, quieter than I thought I'd be for dinner. Ergo, we pretty much had options for seats - which is beneficial for a restaurant at the top of building (more options for views). The hostesses were great & friendly, while letting us choose a great seat next to the window. The drinks were good and reasonably priced. The waitress was patient with us & very helpful. For appetizer we ordered the alligator bites - which were pretty damn good. For entree, I ordered the filet mignon medium well & my friend had the special of the day. I forgot which fish but it had crab on top of it & he said it was really good. My steak was cooked to perfection. No complaints. This is definitely an after-work-suit and tie/romantic dinner spot, mainly for Thurs-Sun I'm sure. Try to go in the late afternoon/evening - we were able to witness an amazing sunset, you won't be disappointed. read more

High prices with not so high food quality. The ambiance is top notch but it ends there. If this restaurant put a little more into the food quality they could be amazing. We didn't have a dish that blew us out of the water. I even returned a gumbo appetizer, which I've never done before at any restaurant. They were still packed out. I think this place can get away with it due to its fantastic views. One and done place in my opinion. read more

The view is beautiful... I think. It was foggy when we went for our anniversary, the staff was very nice and attentive. My partner is vegan and has allergies however and they did not have any significant vegan main course dinner options and so the solution was a fruit platter and eggplant, tomato, and cauliflower medley, which was nice but not on par with the expectations of a fine dining experience. read more

This was a five-star experience all the way. Allow me to break it down for you. Dauphin's is a penthouse restaurant and the atmosphere has a luxe appeal that's looks and feels great. The saxophonist played beautifully throughout our experience. The service staff was incredible in every way and the view was spectacular. We had brunch and the presentations of our meals were impressive and tasted very good (four stars).

I am looking forward to bringing my husband and the rest of the family to Dauphin's. read more

This place was surprisingly good. I walked up to the bar. You don't need a reservation for the bar. I ordered the crocodile appetizer which was great with the sweet and spicy sauce.

Lee was our server and we had the river view table in the kitchen. The chef came over and talked to us, informed us of specialties, and assured us that we would have a great meal. We had an excellent meal, there was an awesome atmosphere, and excellent service. I had Filet Mignon topped with crabmeat with shrimp, garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus. I tried my hardest to eat all of it but just couldn't get it all in, oh but I wanted to. Everything was great. Eat here! read more

Dauphin's has been on my list to try since our friends from mobile rave about it, so I had pretty high expectations coming here. Visited for brunch on a Sunday with a group of friends, we had reservations so we did not have to wait long at all. It is located in the top floor of the RSA building and you're definitely on top! Views were great in the am (mostly construction but you can see the pretty skies), I bet it's way prettier at night! I loved the atmosphere as well, very cozy. There was live piano as well, that was lovely. Our server was attentive no problem there. The portions of the food were also very generous but the quality of the food could be better. The potatoes that were served with the brunch entrees' were soggy and way too many onions on there, it was not crispy at all they were not edible. My friends definitely thought that the dinner experience was a solid 9 however brunch was a mere 5. I will have to give this place another try for dinner, I was a bit disappointed, surprising that the quality of food at different times is drastic. The 3 stars here are mainly for the atmosphere and service, I felt like the food was average, nothing to rave about, maybe next time will be different. read more

Great location and lovely views. The appetizers are good but the entrees are mediocre. Decent wine list.

I went to Dauphin's for lunch because I have heard many great things about the restaurant. It's on the 34th floor of the RSA tower where the Bienville Club used to be located. The place is very elegant with an awesome view of Mobile, Mobile Bay, Mobile River, etc. They bring you sliced baguette bread with 2 types of butter when you first sit down. I found it very, very good. I started the meal with a Corn and Shrimp Chowder that was pretty good. Next I ordered a Caesar Salad with Grilled Shrimp. It was okay....it didn't blow me away like I was expecting. It also had what I guess was a vinaigrette dressing which was odd on a Caesar salad. Not my favorite, to be honest. The shrimp were not amazing either. I was underwhelmed with my meal so far after having such high expectations. For my main entree, I ordered the fish of the day which was Sheepshead, one of my favorite fish in the Gulf. They have 2 choices in sauce that you can get. I chose the Lemon Caper Sauce. I thought that the fish was a bit over-cooked, and I wasn't a big fan of the sauce. The sides are black beans with rice and a squash. Again, I was under-whelmed with both the fish and the sides. Overall a very average meal. I was expecting so much more, but I got a Baumhauers Wings type of meal with an awesome view. I cannot recommend this restaurant for their lunch service, but I will return to review the Dinner service. I hope that my experience is much better. LUNCH - NOT RECOMMENDED read more

Exceptional service from placing reservation, greeting and throughout service. I was especially pleased with the wait staff of Shea and young male waiter, forgot name but he's pursing his online Bus Admin degree. Dauphin's was very accommodating to my lactose intolerance allergy and even gave me a special dark chocolate bon bon. Shrimp cocktail was yummy and fresh. Gumbo is non-dairy and not heavy like others. Spiky lobster was great too. The view is amazing and people often get up to take photos. Will be back next time in Mobile.

What an overall amazing restaurant. We were in town this past weekend and visited Friday evening.

The menu is basic. The is obviously pre-made and overpriced for what you get. You are paying for being on the 34th floor. For $44 dollars I expect the steak to come out hot not warm with cold sides. The server was more occupied talking to the bartender and the manager was busy trying to look busy. The piano player/ singer was too loud, off key, and didn't know all the words to the songs he was singing. This place is PRETENDING to be fine dinning. TRASH! read more
