We were seated outside on the patio. The server was prompt and polite. We started with drinks and oysters. The bartender was talented with an old fashioned and a lemon drop. The oysters were delicious and amuse bouche was a beet tartar with sunflower shoots, delightful. We followed that with their farm board, charcuterie, so much food for two. We exchanged our mains for a salad and a bowl of soup, nothing about this restaurant disappoints, it was a delightful 65 birthday for my wife. Our compliments to everyone at this restaurant, highly recommend it!

We were there for brunch and the choices were amazing and everything was delicious! The burrata is not to be missed!
Lea
A wonderful experience. Very pretty venue with good service. The Brussel sprouts and pomme frites were maybe the best we'd ever had. The best salad was also delicious. The fish of the day wasn't great, but the accompanying collards were impeccable. The pumpkin spice bread pudding was nice but just ok. We should have stuck to our starters.

I always enjoy The Hope Farm, the menu changes with the seasons and is consistently awesome. The service is always prompt and checks on the table with perfect timing.

Great food and beautiful atmosphere! Service was a great as the food! Perfect all the way around!

Hands down worst service ever. Hostess was very nice and pleasant, she brought us water. The place is beautiful. However we sat for 10 min and not 1 person came by to check on us or offer us drinks or a greeting. Maybe its just a bad day.......

My husband and I live in Louisiana and seek out only the best food when traveling. We were SO impressed and everything we ate was phenomenal. The service was impeccable. Our server was so knowledgeable seemed genuinely excited for us to try the food. It was such a great experience.

Great place for a wonderful dinner. We eat here every time we do a road trip across I10. Its well worth the short jog South into Fairhope for a meal here. Very, very nice place!

My husband and I visited here for our anniversary for lunch. The food was absolutely delicious. Service was phenomenal and it had a great vibe. Prices were a little on the high side but you’re definitely getting quality food. I love that they use a lot of locally sourced ingredients. Also it was really neat that the kitchen is open and you can see in. We got to see them making croissants. 🥐 Thanks for a great time!

Very nice dinner at The Hope Farm. Delicious food and great service. We will definitely dine there again.
We had a great dinner. The drive in from near New Orleans was easy, and we arrived at night. The location itself is interesting—it seemed like two places connected, one a private venue and the other the main restaurant. The restaurant had a patio with an awesome saxophone player, which really added to the atmosphere. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the drinks were top-notch. No complaints at all!

We had a lovely meal (our second time at Hope Farms) and our server Ian was very informed about the dishes and helpful in choosing our meal. This is fine dining with thoughtful recipes and very good execution. A highlight was the market fish - grouper lightly paneed over couscous and cherry tomatoes/vegs; a fennel-lemon beurre blanc was poured over the fish at the table and the dish was sparkling with flavor and texture. Crispy brussels were very tastey. The garden salad was imaginative with fresh peach slices and pickled blueberries and super-fresh greens. My squash-filled ravioli were excellent but it is a bit heavy on brown butter-guanciale so not light, but so flavorful. French fries ordered as a side were a bit softer than I like them (crispy) and could have been house-cut a bit more thinly. Difficulty finding the wine bottle I'd wished for was remedied by an excellent by-the-glass list. The wine list at Hope Farms is extraordinary for such a restaurant in southern Alabama. A bit more attention to gluten-free options would have been lovely. All in, this was a great meal and I'll return eagerly to Hope Farms again at my next opportunity. I recommend it highly.

This is our first experience at this restaurant. The server was fantastic. We actually know her from her previous employment. The food was very salty and large amounts of oil used in the preparation leaving the main course overly salted and soggy. The shareable appetizer, Brussel sprouts, was floating in olive oil and/or some type of oil. We were very disappointed and will not go back.

Quaint and elegant place to dine. My hubby and I enjoyed lunch here. Recommend the hamburger and pomme frites.
