We had an unforgettable dinner at The Hope Farm. The mushroom toast was incredible, and we loved both the schnitzel and the blackened redfish. 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! read more

The variety of fresh dishes are designed to appeal to everyone. The sweet potato with pecans was delicious. Wanted to get more to take home! Service as friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The ambiance is a bit loud, and the live music outside was not audible despite the live feed into the dining room. I suppose louder music would make people talk even louder? read more

Wow, our meal at The Hope Farm was my absolute favorite meal I had while in Fairhope Alabama! The ambiance was so nice, interior and exterior was so beautiful. The landscaping was gorgeous. We sat outside and the lighting was so cute. Our meal was so good! The watermelon appetizer and the curry soup were so good!! Very nice balanced flavor. I ordered the garden plate and it was very nice. Other entrees were the chicken schnitzel and my companions really liked it. The Twice Baked Potato were a big hit. What a wonderful restaurant and the whole place e was beautiful!! Do go, it it's a an amazing place! read more

This place is straight up beautiful! I wanted a nice meal for the free afternoon we had during a conference and stumbled across Hope Farm online. I love farm to table restaurants so I was excited to try them out. Our server was super helpful and sweet. We started with the tempura fried mushrooms and I could have eaten a plate of these and been happy! They were large and crunchy with a blue cheese aioli. Definitely one of my favorite bites lately. For my entree I chose the Nasi Bayou which was fried black drum, coconut rice, cucumber, sambal, and a deviled egg. The fish was flaky and had a nice crunchy batter. I enjoyed what I could after eating too much of the mushrooms! If I make my way back to Fairhope I'd like to try out their dinner menu! read more

Made a reservation for a Sunday for brunch, was seated fairly quickly. Beautiful place, very clean. They had great options for cocktails which I had two. Birria Bowl I had was excellent, tons of flavor and the meat was very tender. Would love to come back but next time, I want to do dinner. read more

A farm-to-table restaurant located in Fairhope, AL. We were staying at The Grand for a meeting so I went with a group for dinner. The food was amazing. Everything from the appetizers, main courses, and desserts was prepared perfectly and tasted great. The service was also very good. We had 11 in our group and they never missed a beat. Reservations are highly recommended, especially during peak season. Bottom line - Very good food. Highly recommend regardless of group size. Bon appétit, y'all. read more

The Hope Farm is one of the best places I've ever eaten at in Alabama. This is a really nifty spot with a double personality with their brunch/lunch spot "The Barn" and then the more formal dinner location "The Hall" which this entire compound is a really beautiful spot. They make some fantastic biscuits here, the burger here is among the best I've ever had in Alabama. For dessert I got the XO flourless chocolate cake which is one of the all time best desserts I've ever had! On my next lunch visit I wanted to sample one of their seafood options so I got the snapper and it was fantastic with lots of great flavors then for dessert I got a white chocolate cherry cookie with a latte. Overall the food was outstanding and left me wanting to rank the Hope Farm as the best restaurant in Alabama. The service was outstanding on my first visit while on my second visit left a LOT to be desired as I was left without service for really long time periods which left me quite thirsty with a lack of drink refills. The food was 5 stars all the way as was the service during my first visit while the second visit service was more of a 1 star... I'm still eager to make another visit to enjoy dinner in The Hall! read more

I took my daughter to The Hope Farm for dinner. And I am very glad we went. The service was amazing and the food extraordinary...The Hope Farm is a must for ambiance, delicious food and just a crazy good vibe. Kudos to The Hope Farm. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

Update: I popped in from my barn literally in my boots and riding breeches for a late lunch, working with my horses works up an appetite! This ginormous BLT was every bit as delicious as it was huge! The bacon was crisped to perfection, I didn't even feel too sorry for the pig, ok maybe a little but just wow! The flavors were over the top! It was served on house made sourdough bread, as if that wasn't enough... they fried the bread oh my goodness it was PERFECT! I also had a tasty iced coffee with brown sugar and pralines it was so good. I love how it wasn't overly sweet, I want a nice treat with caffeine not diabetes. It hit the spot. I appreciate that they have oat milk or almond in addition to cows milk. If I can't say enough nice things let me add that my server Brandy was very kind, attentive and if I were her boss I would be very happy because she's the kind of person you want to represent your business. The ambience and decor were also very nice, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say soothing. Even though it was an absolutely beautiful day I chose to sit my skinny derrière inside on the padded half booth because I had been outside all day riding and wanted to relax. The Barn at the Hope Farm is a lovely spot to grab a latté and a croissant or a little lunch. I recommend it for those of us who prefer gracious living and don't just eat to survive. read more

What a beautiful concept! The restaurant is tastefully designed and we saw people dressed for comfort and dressed for a special occasion and everyone was smiling and involved in the experience. Our waiter, Caleb, was helpful and understated.Bless him, I had lots of questions about the city, the economy and the beautiful restaurant. He politely answered all my questions and then some! The food was delicately prepared and the spices were used in a way that left you with just a hint of flavor that was perfect and enhanced each bite! After dinner we drove around the city looking longingly at the uniqueness of each home and the flower lined streets and driveways! Fair Hope we will return! read more

The food was very good! The amuse bouche was deviled egg with bacon. For the entree I had the crawfish Benedict which was absolutely amazing. The sausage and crawfish were very good. Also had the rosemary orange iced latte which was amazing. One con was that the service was very slow. The bartender was also our waiter so it took a very long time for him to check on us and we waited over 15 minutes for him to bring our check after we asked for it. read more

We sat at the bar...Ian was our bartender /waiter/mixologist/ foodie extraordinaire!!!! We had the two tequila cocktails, started with Brussels, rice balls-forget name, then split a wedge, and the chicken dish...which we were told would be mind blowing..:and it was!!! A few bites of a Baked Alaska...then a nice walk home. Soooo good! We cannot wait to come me back! Beautiful grounds, and interior. But the food was fantastic!!!! Very creative and so delicious!! Honestly Ian is as good as any bartender/server a restaurant could ask for! He could be doing this job at a 5 star NYC/LA/London establishment. We ordered a few times we would never have considered because of him, and his descriptions were spot on! Extra points for unique desserts like the baked Alaska! The mushroom toast was beautiful but was a bit off, maybe cold? But Hope Farm handled it beautifully. Can not wait to come back! read more

Stopped in on a Thursday evening just as they opened. Beautiful open dining room and bar. Started with the El Capitan, an Oaxacan Old Fashion using Volcan de mi Tierra tequila and Del Maguey "La Vida" Mezcal. Excellent blend of smoke, Agave, Orange, and Mole Bitters. Next was a half dozen perfectly prepared broiled oysters from Murder Point. Perfect size, and a great balance of seasoning. The entree was the pan seared Snapper. Throughout dinner, my bartender walked me through each selection with on-point descriptions of what flavors to expect, how and why each ingredient was used. Excellent dinner. Two thumbs up and 5 stars! read more

Me and some friends went for brunch. Service was amazing. From the perfect chai latte to the Hibiscus Ginger mimosas I had. Then, the food was delicious. We shared french toast sticks as an appetizer. They weren't overly sweet. They came with butter and syrup. I ordered Steak Frites. The steak was perfectly cooked. The chimichurri was a fresh, tangy compliment to the steak. The space is also so beautiful. There's lots of natural light flowing through the windows and the outside area feels like being on the back porch at a farmhouse. I will definitely be back. read more

What a beautiful venue and demonstration of how fresh farm-to-table ingredients can deliver an incredible dining experience. We had reservations the next evening while were visiting Fairhope but had a last minute change the night before and decided to see if they could fit us in on the fly if we just showed up. The hostess very graciously accommodated our request and seated us in the main dining room where we were served by a quiet but attentive young lady who helped make our experience so pleasant! Every dish we had was outstanding! For appetizers, we tried the lightly fried squash blossoms stuffed with ricotta (yes, squash blossoms - don't knock them until you try them!) and Hope Farm sal. Both were outstanding! For entrees, we had the braised Waygu short ribs with Gouda grits and peanut ragu (melt in your mouth texture and SO flavorful!) and yellow grouper served Japanese style with mushrooms (good for what it was but not my wife's favorite). For dessert, we had the XO cake (think LOTS of chocolate - terrific!) and butterscotch crème brûlée (as good as that flavor is unique!). Suffice it to say, we'll be back the next time we visit Fairhope! read more

We visited The Barn at The Hope Farm for breakfast this morning and it was lovely. We were greeted immediately by a lovely young lady with a great hello. We both had the seasonal quiche and it was a nice portion with sautéed micro greens grown by them with a saucy spice! My cortado came with a pretty little heart and made me smile. They play excellent laid back music that you could spend all day or work and listen to. The weather was nice and we sat outside today and we will return. Please drop in if you haven't already for a nice surprise. read more

Favorite restaurant we went to while visiting the town of Fairhope!! Beyond excellent service both times. I had the summer salad with pickled blueberries, peaches, and a bruleed goat cheese wheel. My man had the tacos and we split the tiramisu. Absolutely phenomenal. We sat at the bar both times and the service is great. I can't remember the bartenders name but he's a tall fellow.

One of the best meals we had on our coastal Alabama road trip! This place oozes class and charm. Sat at the bar and received impeccable yet friendly service...even though I promptly spilled my drink upon it's serving. Ugh! It was immediately replaced with a smile and a kind word. So appreciative. Casually swanky interior with live music on the patio and delicious food--the Waygu burger was deemed the "best I've ever had" by my companion. Highly recommend the Rootimentary Cocktail--but only if you are a beet lover. Drink your veggies? Absolutely! Thank you for your gracious hospitality and delicious food. Can't wait to return. read more

Our first visit to this wonderful restaurant and we will return! Our server Luke, was an impeccable server. We began with handcrafted cocktails, served in lovely long stem coups. "Empress to Dress" was refreshing and delicious. Amuse Bouche; slice of cucumber topped with a creamy herbed cheese and a tiny dollop of house made coulis, was a lovely way to begin our experience. I ordered the market catch which was red snapper from the gulf. Seasoned and seared perfectly atop a delicious, savory risotto with charred shishito peppers to finish off the dish! My husband ordered the amazing Connecah, crawfish Pappardelle pasta. The Gulf Shrimp Risotto was also so flavorful and creamy. read more

Last three times I've come for lunch or dinner has been disappointing. One dinner my steak was over cooked. Another special dinner for an anniversary, I specifically asked the waitress if the short rib is fatty as I've never had it on its own before (unsliced) , she assured me it was not, I'm sensitive to fatty texture. Every other bite has globs of fat of course. Ordered a very expensive baked Alaska brownie thing, and it genuinely was not good. Bland brownie, a boxed brownie tastes way better than what I was served, and then on top of that they didn't fire it long enough because it tasted of mostly liquor. Idk wasn't good at all. And then, my favorite thing for lunch, the French dip sandwhich, last couple times I've ordered it for lunch (I've had it many times I come here often for lunch) just tastes different. Not as flavorful/ under salted/seasoned dip. Not to mention service is slow a lot. For the price, there's no excuse for this many issues. Hope they improve, at the start they were a great place to come. read more

The Hope Farm is a very nice farm-to-table experience with incredible dishes. The Gulf Catch was fantastic -- Snapper when we went. It was fresh, flaky, and perfectly seasoned with a bit of spice. The Mille-Feuille for dessert was amazing, with crisp layers and delicious filling. Never disappoint and must visit in Fairhope! read more

The service was terrible and the food was overpriced. They were out of the fish dinner completely. The waiter was serving numerous tables and was overworked. Would definitely not recommend this establishment. John read more

Such a great find. And amazing food plus the service was above and beyond. The breakfast burrito was amazing and so was the latte

I wanted to love Hope Farm, but it fell short for me. Our server was great and overall the service was great, so no stars knocked off for our waiter! The restaurant and grounds are beautiful too! I had the Duck and Grain Salad and I wanted to love it - but I really didn't prefer it. I wouldn't order it again. However, the burrata with the strawberry and shallot jam was incredible and I loved the black tea crème brûlée. The flavors were spot on! I also had the Yucatán Lines (non-alcoholic) and it was so refreshing, the perfect blend of sweetness! I was disappointed I didn't like my entree, hence the mix review! Hope Farm was beautiful and worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

Food is great No problem. My main beef is an extraordinary pricey wine list. Number one reason I won't go back. No waiter could explain the palates of any wine other than price. Never charge 3-5x or more your best entree price for a bottle of wine. Scandalous charges. Ridiculous. read more

We went for brunch and dinner in the same day. Brunch: 1/5 stars. Waiter was MIA. Food took 50 minutes. Even in spite of that, we were done eating and waited another 25 minutes for our check and latte (ordered to go and didn't come to go, and they did give it on the house which was nice), but ended up asking a different waiter for our check bc ours seemingly forgot about us. The free latte made us give them a second chance for dinner. Dinner 5/5 stars. Excellent food flavor profile. Size/portion of the appetizers was on the small side which was a bit sad, but worked well because then we had room for our entrees and dessert. Excellent atmosphere at night outside. We will come back for dinner but would think twice about brunch. read more

Random date night; last-minute decision to make a reservation for an early dinner. Arrived a little early with expectations to sit at the bar, but we were seated at our table without a hitch. They don't offer my favorite Cabernet Sauvignon, but I was offered another option to try. It wasn't bad! When my first glass appeared to have debris floating inside, it was quickly replaced and I was offered a paper coaster to keep anything from falling inside again. The Root Beer Old Fashioned was tasty! The focaccia bread is made with cheese baked into the top. When we asked about ordering this without the cheese baked in, we weren't accommodated. The server informed us "all focaccia is made with cheese in some way," though this is incorrect. It may be a nice addition to the bread, for those that can eat it, but it was disappointing we were willing to wait longer for a bread made without the dairy. We both ordered the 8 oz. Tenderloin entree. I kept the meal prepared as is; the tortelloni was substituted for Brussels sprouts for his. Both our filets were...bland. I was thankful for the truffled caciocavallo tortelloni to have something with some flavor for each bite of meat. There was ZERO seasoning on the beef. I was shocked. The same was true for his tenderloin-- bland as ever. The meal was good, but it didn't knock my socks off. I really expected better. It's not that I won't be back, but it's no longer one of my favorite places to eat. The drinks and ambience are lovely, but the food wasn't what I expected this visit. Such a shame. read more

The Hope Farm, where elegant dining resides in Mobile. Begin your journey with a wine flight that includes two white and two red wines that compliment a well appointed menu. Our choice of appetizers did not disappoint, the Brussel sprouts were a delightful start and went well with the short rib entree. Not everything was a hit, the oxtails lasagna had little to rave about, in fact it fell flat. However the waiter was most accommodating and pivoted well in suggesting an alternate. The atmosphere was pleasing and the service above pare. A shining diamond and a must have dining experience in Mobile! read more

My wife and I celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary at The Hope Farm tonight -- our first time there -- and it absolutely blew us away. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of that special something that makes a night memorable. We started with the fries as an appetizer (perfectly crisp and seasoned), then moved on to entrées: my wife ordered the braised beef, rich and melt-in-your-mouth tender, while I had the catch of the day -- a beautifully crusted redfish that was fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. Dessert was where things went from amazing to unforgettable. We ordered the butterscotch crème brûlée and the XO chocolate cake. If XO stands for Xtremely Out-of-this-world, they nailed it -- light, delicate, and absolutely decadent. The Hope Farm is easily one of the best dining experiences you can have in Fairhope. The level of care, creativity, and quality in every dish is James Beard Award-worthy. Bravo to the chefs and the entire team -- you made our anniversary special. read more

Such a beautiful spot that has thoughtfully curated the dining experience with its modern decor, elevated ambiance, and unique and artful menu offerings. We made the mistake though of not realizing there were two separate sides to the farm for dining with different menus- one is brunch and one is lunch...oops. We chose the brunch side and did really enjoy our food, though. You can tell the kitchen prepares everything from scratch and cares for their flavors and plating. Make sure when you dine here though that you're ready to spend some time- it took a while for service and food. Overall, a pleasurable experience. read more
