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.

This is the ONLY spot out of the legion I've been to in Alabama that actually serves what folks from Louisiana would call gumbo and I was so happy to finally be able to enjoy a good actual gumbo instead of the icky Alabama soup all the other places serve. The ambiance here is really fantastic and they have a beautiful bar here as well. They make some of the best burgers I've ever had and I've had a LOT of great burgers along with way too many blah one. They have an amazing selection of beautiful desserts that make it VERY hard to choose which one you need to order. I've eaten at a LOT of spots in Lower Alabama and so far this one is at the top of the list.

We celebrated one of my birthday dinners at Tamara's, and the food definitely lived up to the hype…read more I had the Shrimp & Cheese Grits with Conecuh sausage and a fried green tomato, and it was excellent. The piña colada was delicious, and they brought me a blueberry crème brûlée for my birthday that was amazing. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals, and everything was beautifully presented. The only downside was the host. He came across as extremely rude and impatient, which was not a great first impression. Thankfully, the rest of the experience was much better. Overall, the food was excellent, and I'd eat there again. Just hoping for a friendlier welcome next time.

The coffee was hot and kept coming. The service was excellent. We would make the detour when traveling on I-10 to visit here again...until then we will dream of chicken fried steak and biscuits.

We were walking from our Airbnb, and were using Google maps with walking directions.

There are options for everyone, and you could tell by the fact that the restaurant was packed how good the food was. Staff was friendly, service was prompt, and we would definitely eat there again!

The atmosphere is quiet, relaxed, and perfect for a special occasion. I had the filet mignon with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus, and it was cooked perfectly. We also ordered the fish special, which was excellent, and started with spring rolls that were delicious. To finish the evening, I had crème brûlée and a glass of Chardonnay--both were the perfect ending to a great meal. The service was attentive, the food was beautifully presented, and every course was excellent.

From there, the blackened grouper--the catch of the day--was the star of the evening: perfectly cooked with a satisfying char and depth of flavor, though unevenly seasoned. It was accompanied by creamy cheese grits that leaned a bit mild and fried okra that, while slightly soft, could have used a touch more seasoning as well. A side of hush puppies was promised but never made it to the table--though admittedly, I rarely indulge unless they're something truly special. The atmosphere was relaxed and almost serene, with only a couple of other tables occupied during my visit, though carry-out orders seemed steady. I chose to sit on the patio, where the weather was ideal and the newly installed fly-deterrent fans did an admirable job keeping the table clear--if not entirely keeping the flies from me instead. Still, the food remained untouched by them, which I consider a success. Service was warm and attentive throughout, rounding out a pleasant evening. While a few dishes could have been elevated with bolder seasoning, the overall experience was delightful, and I left satisfied.
