We fine dine pretty often. Our service was excellent but the food didn't match. The cheese board was honestly embarrassing. The cheese was nothin special, with a little fig jam and crackers I buy at the grocery store regularly. No special nuts, bread or unique cheese. Just large amounts of 3 average selections. For my main I tried their special risotto. The tomato taste was so dominant that you couldn't taste the crab and the scallops took on a strong tomato flavor also. The risotto was not cooked properly and was more like undercooked rice. Our dessert was good. The view is beautiful, the decor nice. The atmosphere spot on. They just need better dishes. I wanted to love this restaurant because we loved The Grand Hotel but I just didn't.

Food was absolutely delicious! Our server was top notch and answered any questions we had. The ambiance was above compare. Watching the sunset over Mobile Bay while dining was spectacular!

Great food, sun set, and service! Attentive, personable staff without hovering! Watching children playing on the lawn added to the enjoyment. The red snapper in remolade sauce and the seafood raviolo in addition to the seasonal desert was fabulous!

This was our first time to dine at Southern Roots and we will definitely be back! We had a nice view of the bay from our table. We had the Red Snapper with asparagus which was delicious and our waiter, Dallas was attentive and knowledgeable. 5 stars for sure!!!

I have Celiac and they were able to accommodate me with gluten free items that were delicious! My husband and I had a great time!
Cindy
The view from our table was beautiful and the food was fabulous. We had the Tomato Pie small plate, Mushroom Risotto, and Grilled Red Snapper. All were delicious! The best part was the exceptional service we received from our waiter, Christian!

The only reason I gave this restaurant 4 stars was the noise level. The food, ambiance and service was impeccable! Delicious steak, beautiful view of the Bay with an amazing sunset! This is the second time dining here and I would definitely recommend it!
Amanda
Service was subpar- waitress was dismissive and uninterested. Steak was very mediocre (30 day dry age) food at Bucky's was better 
Tiffany
The best steak I have ever had! I had the 30 day aged ribeye with twice baked potato casserole. It was delicious!
We had the venison, quail and crab cake All delicious! Service was great and view of Mobile Bay amazingly beautiful!
Tom
The food was very good, the service outstanding, the views great from many tables but not from a few others, and the noise level (primarily from moving children) rather loud.
Andrea
The restaurant and the grand hotel in general smells dank and has sticky floors. It just doesn't feel clean. Service is always excellent. But the ambiance will not bring me back.

Great service, our waiter Dylan was super. He made the meal and the experience to be a very enjoyable evening. For the price point, this was a good dining experience. The dining room setting is picturesque, with great views of the bay. Overall a good dining experience.

My family and I have been to this restaurant several times throughout the years. The food has always been consistently delicious. The vibe is great also; however, this last time we went the service was not very good. The waiter seemed to almost be annoyed by being there.
