    bread- complimentary
    Gabrielle W.

    This spot really felt like a hidden gem! It's located in a plaza of restaurants and stores. So there's a lot of parking. We came while visiting AL. Let's talk food! The lasagna was very good, but massive. It can easily be shared. I struggled to get through 5 bites without getting full!! The sauce that the mussels were in... wow SO good, I honestly could've taken that home My partner had the spaghetti and said the it was good & had flavor! I was really impressed with this spot. We sat outside and enjoyed the live music from the spot next door, which was very good. I'd come back here and recommend this spot while in the area! Also, our server Anna, was exceptional! 5 stars for her!!! She was very nice, knew the menu, and able to help us with choices.

    Our food was wonderful from the warm bread, cocktails, salad and pasta. We ate here last year and chose this for our anniversary dinner this year. Our server Zach was personable and very nice. The Ambiance was also very nice we came to the restaurant around 6pm and the first to be seated outside. It was nice to be the only ones outdoors but it was an early dinner. I can't wait to come eat here again if we end up in Orange Beach next year.

    Calamari...some eaten

    Another extraordinary evening!! Way too much food !!! Drinks poured perfectly and you could not ask for a better waitress than Sarah and her daughter!!! The pesto sauce was loaded with basil and it was perfect one we the tortellini's and mushrooms. Added shrimp as well. Lasagna was HUGE... took home enough for the next day lunch and dinner. Desserts.... Lemon ricotta cake is light but loaded with flavor. it looked huge but it was not too sweet so it was easily eaten.

    Great option for late lunch/early dinner with a daily happy hour from 3-6 PM that offers discounts on appetizers and certain alcoholic beverages. Dedicated parking and no step entrance makes sure easy access. Offering both a bar area and the dining area allows you to choose how you want to relax. We were pleasantly greeted and quickly seated for an early dinner and enjoyed some of their house, salad (large enough to share) and homemade bread, which was great. We enjoyed several of their entrées that included the house special Seafood pasta. Their menu also offer a variety of veal dishes, which I haven't seen since Chicago. Reasonably priced left room for dessert to go, which was super generous portions. A really nice option from your standard Cajun or seafood options that are plentiful in the area

    Carrozza

    We came here on our last night in Orange Beach and sat on the patio and it was very lovely. Our waiter, I think Phillip, was a doll and gave great service. We had the carrozza appetizer and it was downright delicious and pretty decadent! The bread service was delicious, hot and fresh! We shared a few dinners - Ammazzafame was delicious and the Veal Piccata was amazing but the Maielando was pretty meh. We tried several of their house cocktails and all loved them. I had the italian rum punch and it was very yummy!

    The food was amazing, definitely worth going for Italian food the service is great. And it tastes like Italy.

    Anna was absolutely amazing! Everything she recommended was fantastic - 10/10 Wine, appetizers, and entrees were great. We took a piece of chocolate cake home

    Spaghetti and meatballs
    Meghan K.

    This was our first time here, and we live here! Not sure why we have never been here but OMG... Upon arriving our server Sara, took the time to describe some of the dishes and give her recommendations. The bread and rosemary oil was a huge surprise and was excellent. My daughter got the Chicken parm and it was MASSIVE. My dad got the spaghetti and meatballs special and some of the best meatballs he's ever had. I had the veal Marsala and it was amazing. Tasted almost like french onion soup. We are local and will absolutely be back!

    Caesar salad with anchovies
    David M.

    We sat at a high top in the bar and it was just right. Our server, Philip was terrific and had good recommendations. He brought us a fresh baked loaf of bread and we loved it. My wife had a Negroni while we examined the menu. First we ordered Caesar salad with anchovies on the side. She had the steamed mussels with crostini and I ordered linguine with clam sauce. Next time I'll ask for it without the mushrooms (they were good but there were just too many of them) The meal was all delicious and we even brought home some leftovers

    Lovely spot with great bites and really solid prices. Sadie took care of us on their outdoor patio…read moreand we have the best time for a family lunch in the sun. Ordered a lot of things off their happy hour menu. Bang bang shrimp was a big highlight, and their deserts are phenomenal. Would love to come back and try some more next time. Again shoutout Sadie our server. She was so attentive and sweet especially with our newborn nephew who was at the table with us. Thanks for having us!

    Would love to review the food, but our party of 11 was told to leave after an hour and a half wait…read morebecause one of the hostesses thought she overheard a member of our party being rude to her. She was not, the hostess was mistaken. The "manager" backed up her employee and we were told that we would not be served - after an hour and a half. I respect a manager backing up their employee, but there is a much larger theme here and Cobalt clearly dropped the ball. The lobby area was completely packed and loud, the manager was ENTIRELY disinterested in anything we had to say and didn't care at all that we had been waiting an hour and a half. Cobalt clearly doesn't give a crap whether or not you come back or leave a bad review. The local restaurant choices for large parties are limited, and Cobalt is so busy they apparently don't need to worry about customer service. We won't be back, and I strongly suggest that anyone with a large party avoid Cobalt.
