Best Steak I've ever had
Josh R.

Incredible! Would travel back to Foley just to eat there again. One of the best steaks I've ever had! Creole Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo was amazing!!!

A beautiful little Bed and Breakfast hotel tucked away in a true southern city. There are antiques everywhere. It feels like stepping back into a simpler time. The staff are gracious and very friendly.

Details and charm

Stunning hotel. Period correct furnishings- but CLEAN and well appointed. Nice linens, plush towels. Bathroom was updated, beautiful and clean. Breakfast was delicious. I would've paid double for this hotel- it's a gem!

Very disappointed. Driven by this place for years…read more Decided to try it for lunch. Prices for lunch reasonable, but menu heavy on fried foods. Service was the weakest point. Server spilt full glass of water on table and never even attempted to clean it up. We used our napkins and asked for new ones and she never brought them. Asked another server if we could get new napkins, never got them. We were never asked how things were or if we needed anything else other than another drink. Foley and the general area have turned into a mini NYC as far as dinning out goes, Between fast food, chain restaurants and local restaurants you could probably eat out at a different restaurant for years. So no need for us to go back here.

Visiting Foley from out of state, we brought my MIL out for lunch here. Before visiting, I called…read moreto inquire about handicap access because she has breathing issues and is easily winded even with her portable oxygen. I was told there were several handicap accessible entrances including the atrium in the front. We parked on the street in front of the atrium and entered through those doors. My MIL told the hostess that she couldn't walk too far because of her breathing issues and the hostess said that was no problem. However, for an older person with mobility and breathing issues the distance between reception and the dining area was significant, and we paused once for her to catch her breath. We were seated at the table closest to the door, which was preferable, and our waitress stopped at the table within a short period of time. My MIL asked if the restaurant serves alcohol, and the waitress said they could get her anything she wanted. She ordered a Pinot Grigio, and I asked if the restaurant has decaf espresso. She said no, so I said that I would still like an espresso martini even if it was caffeinated. She said they don't have espresso martinis. I asked her to take my husband's drink order and come back to me, and I ordered the same wine as my MIL for simplicity's sake. We also ordered two apps at the same time. The dining room was sufficiently busy with what appeared to be only two waitresses. She returned with our drinks promptly and took our entree orders, including my MIL's request for two beignets to go. She returned with appetizers in a decent amount of time, at which time I feel like things took a turn for the worse after the waitress was making room for the food and spilled my husband's water and ice onto the table. We took two of our cloth napkins and tried to stop the water from dripping into my MIL's lap, and the waitress said she was having a "Monday on a Tuesday." Given her less-than-happy demeanor, she clearly wasn't having a great day. Look, we've all had bad days, but the customer should still receive proper attention and we did not. We asked for more napkins to replace the wet ones; we never got them. I flagged down the other waitress and asked for napkins; she also ignored our request. My husband ended up taking two place settings off a nearby table after it was clear that no one was bringing them. Our waitress never asked how our food was, never refilled our water, nor asked if we wanted anything else, and we sat for quite a while after finishing our food before she stopped by again. We had been in the restaurant for an extended period of time at this point, and my MIL's oxygen machine started to run low. We got the waitress' attention and explained the situation, asking for the check and to cash out so we could get her home. My MIL reminded her that we had ordered the desserts to go and she said she remembered. The bill came and the credit card was run, but no pen to sign with so fortunately I had one in my purse. My MIL handed her a cash tip, and then we waited. And waited. And waited for the to go dessert. The waitress passed by several times knowing that we needed to go as soon as possible, but did not comment on how long it would be before the food was ready. I suggested that my husband help my MIL to the car since it was a bit of a walk in her condition and I would wait for the dessert. Ten more minutes after they walked out went by, and the dessert still hadn't come out. My husband tried to call me to say we needed to get going but there isn't any cell phone reception and no available Wi-Fi so he left her in the vehicle to come get me so we could bring my MIL home. Within 20 minutes we returned to get the dessert. She had asked for two orders when we placed the order, and when I was handed the container it was a single beignet. We had no desire to wait for another to be made, and after checking the slip we saw that only one had been entered by the waitress. As I said, people have bad days and I get it. Today's experience was less than 5 stars, and my MIL still tipped well. Her steak was excellent, our salmon and oysters were decent but not outstanding. The Caesar dressing was very flavorful, but the potato salad tasted similar to store bought although I assume it was made in house. Assessing the entire experience, 2,5 stars seems appropriate. My MIL said she would try them again sometime, so if that happens I will be sure to update the review.

We LOVED our visit with warm hospitality, clean rooms, a gorgeous pier and even more gorgeous…read moresunset. Fairhope is a little gem and I hope that I can figure out a way to get back soon. My hubby and I were doing an impromptu road trip to Alabama - and specifically Fairhope after a local Louisiana gentleman suggested the town - and wanted a homey B&B for a treat. We got just that with a welcome note from the owners and a group of visitors watching the NFL games on the pier. We explored the little town, watched an amazing sunset over the bay and then ate dinner locally. The bed was comfy and temperature perfect for a great nights sleep. In the morning I got up and got directions for a little run along the scenic coastal highway 98 and the parks. GORGEOUS. To top it off, homemade breakfast on the pier including yummy biscuits and Bill's famous grits! Feeling blessed -- worth every penny!

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying for two nights at the Bay Breeze bed-and-breakfast…read more It is a remarkable property that has been in Becky's family for years. We stayed upstairs in the Sunset suite. We had a sitting room, a lovely bedroom, with more seating, and a second bedroom with more seating, and a deck. From the deck, we could see the bay and the lovely garden which we could access from our own staircase. Our suite was so comfortable that we did not spend time in the lovely living room and parlor. The house has really beautiful furniture but the overriding feeling is one of welcome and comfort. Becky made a wonderful southern breakfast and Bill, her lovely husband even joined us. We were made to feel so comfortable as if we were a part of the family but we weren't allowed to do any dishes! There are a lot of choices out there for places to stay, but if you are interested in staying in a beautiful, peaceful, one of a kind place, you will not be disappointed with Bay Breeze B&B.

Swift-Coles Historic Home, in Bon Secour, AL, initial construction was in1882, is a 6000 sq ft…read morestunning old home with 3500 sq ft of porches with swings and fans, love it. It's filled with beautiful period antiques, some which are familiar to me from my granny's home, that immediately transported me back my childhood. The grounds are beautiful with large Magnolia trees and 120 yr old Live Oak trees with Spanish moss everywhere and there's Azaleas, Hydrangeas and a variety of other plants and shrubs. The grounds all around are meticulously maintained giving the property vibrant look and appeal. Originally it was the home of Charles and Susan Swift and their 11 children, it was purchased in 1976 by Nik Coles. Before his death in 2007, he bequeathed the home to the Baldwin County Historic Development Commission. In 2009 the home was opened to the public and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A debt of gratitude is owed to Mr. Nik Coles for his contributions in saving one of the most colorful and outstanding examples of the turn of the century Gulf Coast architecture in our community. The Swift-Coles Historic Home is now open to the public for summer tours. The guided tours leads visitors through the 16 room historic tidewater mansion and grounds to experience how life along the Bon Secour River would have been nearly 100 years ago. There's lots of legends and lore about this place being haunted, many about the deceased displeasure with the renovations. I have been here several times and the last was recently with #1 son and my neighbor Claudine for a late night paranormal investigation with Panhandle Paranormal Group. It indeed was very cool! For more information about tours and current events call (251) 949-5550 or visit their Facebook page at: https://facebook.com/Swift-Coles-Historic-Home-544364585730248/ Bottom line: A lovely piece of history, it's not Mount Vernon but it's lovely.

Now available as a wedding venue as well. With various rooms being used as a Bridal and Groom suite. A large outdoor backyard with a pavilion in construction. This place is gorgeous, offering a glimpse at old life in the south. Improvements are constantly being made to keep the legacy of the Swift-Cole family living on.
