Entering the charming space reminded us of so many lovely bistros in France: the art, the furniture, the draperies. Our server, Henry, was so informative of the day's specials, and accommodating to our special requests. Sipping our wine, we could actually hear one another along with the background music (great use of textiles!) And then the food started arriving! First, the bread...a perfectly chewy French baguette with whipped butter. And then the pate. Heavens! And now I know they sell it to go! Is that carnal knowledge? So I am a gumbo snob. I make a gumbo yaya (caramel shade roux) that is amazing. My daddy, however, made a wild game gumbo with an almost black roux. R Bistro's duck and conecuh gumbo had me looking for shot in the bottom of the bowl. I literally cried because of how close it tasted to my dad's. Thank you, Misty, for coming out of your amazing kitchen to visit with us. We're so thrilled to find our place.

We enjoyed a delicious flatbread and an amazing Charcuterie board while chatting about wine with our friendly bartender. The drinks are made with fresh squeezed juices ( The Berry Delicious Martini is a must try), and it's fun to watch them make the drinks. It's such a welcoming and quaint space. Exactly what we were looking for on a Monday evening when everyone else in town is closed. We enjoyed sitting at the bar, but noticed some comfy couches to try on our next visit. Well done Le Bouchon!

It's in the "downtown" section of Daphne, which is pretty small but easy to find. It's parallel to Hwy 98 on scenic 98. Speaking of small, there are a couple of comfy seating areas, with couches and chairs, high-top tables, and a small bar. Upon entering we noticed the shotgun shake elongated space but it's very laid back and intimate with a nice atmosphere and vibe. Despite the limited space, they had a dude playing guitar and singing by the front door, nice and mellow too. There's a respectable choice of wines, but not overdone like some of the more pretentious places plus they have several craft beers, beers on tap and sparkling fizzy choices. Good news, if you're not a connoisseur you can also sample some of the wines, nice touch. We were greeted by Jessica, she rocked, and she guided us through the specials and all about the wines and foods. She took excellent care of us throughout the visits and made it a joy. While they had a bbq chicken slider being made that was not on the menu, and it sounded good, we got a flatbread pizza and the roasted red pepper hummus with pita bread and veggies. Both were outstanding, fresh, and a very good pairing for my sweetheart's wine and the stout beer that I chose. However, I regretted not getting their huge and inviting-looking charcuterie board, it's loaded full of different cheeses, olives, meats, and more, next time for sure. I got to meet quite a few people from our group, everyone seemed to enjoy their choices of food and libations so I feel pretty good that everyone enjoyed themselves and I look forward to doing it again real soon! Big shout out to Chace Yamagata for making it all happen, way to go!!!!!!! Bottom line: The atmosphere, friendly people, and great service, with creative and fresh food offerings and course the wines make this a really great place anytime. Chill time especially and I highly recommend chillin' here! https://www.lebouchon.biz/ https://www.facebook.com/LeBouchonBar

We finished with the bread pudding, and the wine flight paired beautifully with the meal. Our server made the evening even better. She was warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the food. She explained the flavors in each dish and how they worked together, which made us appreciate everything even more. When I asked whether we could see the farm, she immediately found General Manager Raleigh Swan. Raleigh spent about half an hour personally walking us through the edible landscaping, raised garden beds, mushroom growing room, and hydroponics room. He explained what they grow and how it all connects to the restaurant. Seeing it firsthand was fascinating. The food and service would have made this a wonderful night on their own. That personal tour made it one of the most memorable dining experiences we've had. Thank you to Raleigh and the entire team for sharing what makes The Hope Farm so special. We can't wait to come back!

My wife had the eggs Benedict and it was one of the best versions she has ever had. The hollandaise sauce was exceptional.

The atmosphere at Buster's Brick Oven seems more upscale than the more dive bar ambiance of Manci's. They offer more than just pizza here but pizza seems to be the featured item. I sampled a Margherita pizza at Buster's Brick Oven and honestly it wasn't my favorite version of that particular pizza but it was alright. I also tried their Bison Burger which I ordered medium and it arrived with charred, burned and very crunchy meat on the outside but better on the inside with a side of charred and burned green beans... I will be sticking with the food on the Manci's Antique Club side! Ultimately the food on the Manci's side is far superior to me. The same folks that own Callaghan's Irish Social Club in Mobile have taken over Manci's and added the pizza addition of Buster's Brick Oven. Overall this is a great neighborhood spot which gives you the choice of the more "upscale" pizza side or the more classic dive bar side with different menus available in each. So far my experience with Buster's Brick Oven has convinced me to stick with the food at Manci's!
