This was my second birthday dinner at The Wash House, and it reminded me why we keep coming back. We made reservations, were seated right on time, and never felt rushed. 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. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or just enjoy a really nice dinner, The Wash House is always a solid choice. read more

The Wash House seems like a Fairhope staple and for good reason! The food was delicious, the space cozy, and the waiters wonderful, even on a busy, crowded night. I would certainly come back! read more

Atmosphere, service, menu, cocktails and our steaks & lamb cooked perfectly! Highly recommend the steak tartar, fried green tomatoes and oyster lettuce wraps to start. We've dined here 100 times and it's ALWAYS CONSISTENT!! The stable of Fairhope. And the cocktails are always the best! Followed by a great wine list. When the kids arrive ... it's at the top of their dining list. read more

W have dried here many times over the last few years, most recently as last night. The food is very good as always, but the server was informative but rather perfunctory, likely due to the crowd. They do not have a bar area for patrons to stand, and there were 2 tables where the men stood around, to close to other tables with drinks in hand, talking loudly. Frankly the noise in the restaurant was deafening, unlike past visits, and that spoils the dining experience. We will not be back. read more

Went for a birthday celebration. The wine selections are amazing, both by the glass or bottle. Enjoyed the chateaubriand which was served with mashed and grilled/roasted asparagus. Other entree was the duck breast. Atmosphere is cozy and reminds me of a country club dining room. Our server was Jake who did a great job. read more

We just love this place! Our favorite restaurant in Fairhope. Just 5 stars all around. Highly recommend the smoked watermelon bruschetta and the oyster lettuce wraps to start. The bruschetta dish was on another level. We then moved on to the entrees. The chateaubriand last night was exquisite and the scallops were a hit, as well. Jade was an excellent server and we really enjoyed when Wyatt stopped by our table to see how we were enjoying things. Everyone was so nice, really. We can't wait to get back on our next trip. 5 read more

Food vibrant. Good size portions, quality over quantity. Staff friendly. Drinks fair price.

We have eaten here several times over the years. Not sure what happened this evening but service and meal was under par. One of the plates was undercooked, waited ten minutes for waitress and went to find someone. 15 minutes later the plate came back charred with no follow up. Asked for manager or someone in charge and was told no one was there that evening. read more

We had a very special private event at the Wash House in the Lodge room. There were 53 guests in our group. Our dinners were delicious, cooked to perfection, and many of the guests commented that the food was amazing. The ambience was warm and inviting. The staff was friendly, efficient, and served everyone, including those at the bar very quickly. They were all amazing. Management was fantastic to work with. It was unbelievable that the meals were served all at the same time and the hot food was still was hot. Salads were cold, crisp, and fresh, Steaks were perfectly cooked and seasoned. One guest commented that the steak was better than Ruth Chris'. The Bearnaise sauce was out of this world. The catch of the day was delicious and everything was seasoned to perfection. The desserts were delectable. Honestly, I can not think of anything that could have been better. Many of our guests said it was the best party they had ever been. 5 stars all the way. read more

All I can say is wow! The food was amazing and the service was spectacular. The gumbo, soft shell crab, and lamb were as good as I have ever had in my life. Atmosphere was cozy yet comfortable. This is a special place and should not be missed. read more

Great anniversary dinner. Started with the gumbo and Brie appetizer. It was amazing the Brie could have been set over the top with a sweet drizzle of maybe honey or something of a thin slice of pear. The gumbo was perfect great roux and full of protein. I got the fresh catch redfish it was flavor and juicy and delicious and my wife got the filet juicy and tender. Dessert crème brûlée and keylime bread pudding (had to try cause I had never heard of a thing) they were both good but I enjoyed the crème brûlée we will be back in the future. They are a reservations only restaurant just a heads up. Amazing service all very attentive read more

Quail and Chateau B were excellent. Service outstanding and the desserts were great. General Mgr helped us navigate the menu. read more

First time here. The establishment is really nice and cozy. Our waitress was Francis. The service was A+. She was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. The food was very well seasoned, lots of flavor. The only thing is that there's not a single chicken dish on the menu. We had a chocolate pecan pie, it was delicious! There's always room for dessert!!! Next time I'm in town, I'll be back. read more

During a trip to visit my sister, this was one of the nicer restaurants we chose to have dinner. I'm so glad we opted for it; it turned out to be a great meal. For a date night or, in our case, a sister reunion/couples date, this place definitely fits the bill. We started with two appetizers: the Oyster Lettuce Wraps and the Gulf Crab Cakes. Both were excellent starters. 8 Oz. Filet truffled-gouda mashed potatoes, broccolini, sauce béarnaise ** Very good! The filet was cooked perfectly, and the gouda mashed potatoes were super flavorful. Niman Ranch Pork Shank sweet potato gnocchi, local mushrooms, fried onion, brussel sprouts, honey bourbon cider glaze ** My husband loved this; however, I do not see this on their menu currently. Herb and Parmesan Orzo ** This was a side dish that went with their special of the night; however, we requested some of this with our meals and they happily obliged! I love a herbaceous risotto! This version was good, but it could have been a bit more flavorful. It was herb-y, but needed more zing. Our service was excellent, and the atmosphere was so lovely. I was happy they were very accommodating to requests. We had a wonderful server as well. Overall, a great experience. Next time we visit my sister, we will definitely go back. read more

Dinner was sooooooooo great !! Requested to be sat away from everyone and in a quiet area and they did an outstanding job of accommodating that request. The food was so good. They had some type of pecan creme brûlée, never had it before but it was melt in your mouth delicious. Service was fast and tbh.. I have nothing to complain about aside from the fact that we couldn't get reservations the next week to come back LOL they were completely booked. I see why ! Highly recommended this place for a date night or a small party. read more

We had another incredible dinner at the Wash House! The fish special was amazing and the filet mignon was cooked to perfection as always. The wine selection never disappoints, plenty of great options to pair with any dish. The oyster taco appetizer is a must try, absolutely delicious! Special kudos to Maddie, our server, who was wonderful. She was attentive, knowledgeable and took extra care with one guest's food allergy. Highly recommend asking for her!! She made our evening extra special. read more

Really in three words, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic! But, in Yelp legalese, here comes the tale of wonderfulness. I got invited to Washouse by my neighbor. Yes I have good neighbors. They raved about this place. Reservation a must, but you won't regret it. Service is stellar, and I do mean stellar. I actually stopped taking pictures out of embarrassment. (Really)! The Washouse is beautifully situated something that the city of Fairhope really delivers. But, from the bread to the appetizer, to the main course is exquisite. I ordered, the wedge salad, pork chops and collards, followed up with key lime pie bread pudding. All were fantastic. read more

Had an absolutely superb dinner. Meal was made especially delightful by our server Maddie. We had the fried green tomato stacker with shrimp. I had the grilled halibut and hubbie had stuffed pork loin. There is nothing I'd criticize and that's rare read more

I was very embarrassed with the staff. I asked for dairy free options and the manager walked me through the menu of exactly what I could eat and what they could tweak. I ordered the triple tail fish with broccolini and brussel sprouts. They subbed the sauce for a dairy free spicy apricot. AMAZING!!!! Literally the best food I have ever eaten! Seating is fancy and I was not prepared. I loved all the details in the decorations. read more

I have two rules regarding reviews; visit the establishment twice and don't bother writing a negative review, nature will take its course. That being said, let's talk about the Wash House Restaurant in Point Clear Alabama. Hospitality is essential for a satisfying dining experience. We arrived 1/2 hour early for our 7:30 reservation on a Saturday evening. The Wash House was packed. The various dining rooms were full of conversation and laughter. The Host Wyatt could not have been kinder. He obviously did his due diligence. He knew our names and preferences. We were escorted to a side bar while our table was prepared and we were given a complementary glass of wine for the short wait. We felt valuable and cared for. The food was special. Their kitchen staff must work together like a military operation. So many covers, such good quality, such consistency. The star of our first visit was the Chateaubriand. We shared this dish along with the fresh, crisp, well dressed Wash House Salad. Perfect! Frances, our Server, kept a caring eye on us without being obvious or rushing us through our evening. On our second visit we chose to dine at the small, cozy bar. Best for people watching and to engage other diners. The stars of this visit were the Chateaubriand, yes again couldn't help ourselves, the Day Boat Scallops, beautifully seared with sweet succulent flesh, and the Fried Oyster appetizer, lightly battered, crisp exterior, creamy oysters wrapped in buttery lettuce. Perfect. Paige, our Bar Tender was engaging, charming and attentive . If you enjoy excellent food in a Fine dining atmosphere ,in a rustic, comfortable setting,, with other happy, satisfied, like-minder diners the Wash House Restaurant is Well worth a visit to Point Clear. read more

I was incredibly underwhelmed. My party of 2 arrived at the same time as a party of 5. 2 guests were waiting, and 4 guests were leaving. It was mayhem at the door. As another reviewer mentioned yesterday, there is no acknowledgement of the special occasion listed on Open Table. The service was not expedient or personal. The front aisle of tables directly across from the hostess stand felt like the kids' table. Our view was of a storage pod and a port-a-potty. (For our anniversary dinner which, again, was not acknowledged.) The worker cleaning and resetting tables was a bit heavy-footed, and our table shook each time she ran by. The ambiance was more girls-night-out than intimate dining. The bread was warm. The butter was soft and delicious. The specialty cocktails were very good. The stars stop there. The table across from us was seated after we arrived. Still, they had drinks, salad, and dinner long before we did. They tabbed out before our entrees even came out. When our food was served, drain flies appeared at our table. No one stopped to check on our table, so it could not be addressed. The server recognized that I didn't care for my entree and comped a dessert. It was also lackluster. (A slice of cheesecake haphazardly thrown side-down on the plate; the whipped cream and chocolate/caramel drizzle hastily applied.) No one asked if we'd visited before or even thanked us for coming. I found the entire visit disappointing. read more

Excellent good! Dishes were amazing. It took awhile to get waited on, which is unusual at such a nice place. But the food was delicious!

My sister-in-law threw her husband a surprise 40th Birthday Party here about couple weeks ago. I loved how the Wash House had menus made especially for our party. There was an adult menu and a special menu for kids. The service and food was phenomenal. All of the adults had the Wash House Salad, which I really enjoyed. The candied pecans and golden raisins really added an extra zest to the salad. I do not eat pork regularly, but the Pork Osso Bucco was amazing! The fish came with polenta and brussel sprouts that were so delicious! I normally have leftovers, but I didn't that night. My husband had the 8 ounce filet and he let me try a bite. It was good, but my food was better. I would certainly go back to this restaurant when I'm back in the area. read more
