Wowza! It only took me 7 years for an in-person visit, but I made it! And at long last, and as I'd…read morehoped, the dine-in experience is a night and day difference from the catering I tasted all those years ago. A friend recommended a lunch stop at Mama's after a downtown meeting, and I was thrilled to finally give it a real go. (I'd honestly forgotten about my first impression until I remembered) But that's in the past and I'm happy to wipe the slate clean. This visit, the fried chicken special was delicious and perfectly executed. I tasted the pork chop and it was great as well. The Mac and cheese and collard greens that I ordered as sides, all tasty. I cleaned my plate. The sweet tea is also just as amazing as I remember from before when I tasted it in the wild. Service from Emily, wonderful as well. All in all, Mama's in-house dining is where it's at. Cheers!

You have got to try that. I can't say I have had anything like that. I will bring the fam here. Nice experience.

From the appetizers to them allowing us to cut and eat our celebration cake - everything was perfect. Our service person, Nay, was amazing. She make great recommendations, took care of our table for 12 (thanks Dauphin's team for making THAT happen) as if we a group of 4. I'm vegetarianish so I thought it would be a challenge but let me tell you, after the appetizers and the amazing bread, my order of fried green tomatoes and the wedge salad were more than enough. My colleagues ate a little bit of everything and there was more than one "licked" clean plate. The view was amazing, we felt like were treated like royalty, and a fun time was had by all.

I'm a sucker for a roasted Brussels sprouts appetizer (which we ordered). The chunks of bacon in it were delightful. My dish was light with 3 perfectly seared scallops and a spinach salad with fruit and a vinaigrette dressing. My husband had a 14 0z. ribeye with roasted asparagus and subbed the potatoes for vegetables. It was all very good. The decor is very hip - a wood meets metal type interior design. Only downside - 1. Steak was a bit gristly for a prime cut. 2. The metal chairs are a bit unforgiving for people with big hips. Only The steak was a bit gristly

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

I'll give this place 3 stars, but with a couple of 1 star comments. We took our Mom here for her…read more92nd birthday, had a reservation. Really nice atmosphere, we were greeted when we walked in, our server was fantastic. We all loved the food, and really enjoyed the place. At one point somebody came out, I'm guessing the manager or owner, asked how we were doing, and said if we needed anything at all, please let him know. My sister-in-law said "thank you, actually I'd really love a small amount of grits... like a couple of tablespoons on the side".. this guy replies he could only do a bowl and that's $4.00... ok, I can get you anything means anything but a shot glass worth of grits. He then repeats "if you need anything, please let me know." Got it. After we finished, our server announces that they'd like to offer Mom a complimentary desert and offers 3 choices. She enthusiastically chooses the chocolate cake. A few minutes later he reappears and says they're telling him the only option for a birthday desert is bread pudding. Seriously, they can't afford to give up a slice of cake? I was going to pay for it but at that point we'd decided it was time to move on. I'm sure they have their reasons for all of it, and I'm sure there will be a reply here from the owner, but it's all B.S. I stand by the 5 stars for the server, the atmosphere, and food. The 3 stars covers whoever came out with the phony "I really give a shit" attitude. They need to keep him in the back room.
