One of the best meals we've had....ever! Absolutely excellent. We had the Gulf Catch, which was Snapper and the Pork Tomahawk, each done to perfection.

Hope farm is a great place for brunch. Prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. The servings are very generous and the atmosphere is great.

We had an amazing late night dinner at The Hope Farm. We were late arriving by about 15 minutes but they kindly accepted us and told us not to worry but relax and enjoy. We did. We started w a cocktail each: the Root Beet Lld Fashioned and the Hot Honey Goldrush (special). Both were delightful. For appetizers we shared the burrata with the charred strawberry jam- oh my- delicious. And the croquettes that were also very good on a roulade of corn and smoked jalapeño. For entree we had the braised short ribs on amazing Gouda grits with a boiled peanut ragout. So rich and so wonderful! We enjoyed our meal w the warm weather reds wine flight. For desert: the key lime and espresso martinis. Our server was great and we enjoyed our meal very much. We can't wait to go back.

Our evening at The Hope Farm was truly special; an experience made even more memorable by the way Morgan, our server, and the owner, Robert Evans, treated us. At one point during the night, there was a small misunderstanding that left us feeling a bit overlooked. It wasn't anything major, and honestly, it could have easily gone unaddressed. But instead, Robert made the effort to personally connect with us. His approach was genuine, thoughtful, and emotionally intelligent — he sought not just to smooth things over, but to truly understand. It was clear that he cared about how we were feeling, and his kindness turned what could have been a small blemish into one of the most memorable parts of the evening. His warmth and sincerity left a lasting impression. Beyond that, everything about The Hope Farm was a delight. The food was inventive and delicious, each plate clearly crafted with care and creativity. Morgan delivered exceptional service throughout the night. He was attentive, friendly, and well-paced, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and genuine hospitality. Robert Evans and his team have created a place where not just the food, but the people and the atmosphere, make you feel cared for. We left with full hearts, full plates, and a deep appreciation for a restaurant that truly understands what hospitality means.

Noah is an amazing server! He was so kind to my littles and parents. It was a wonderful Easter and it was so nice to see upper management touching tables on such a busy day. We can't wait for our next return.

I had the shrimp tagliatelle and it was one of the best dishes I've eaten in a long time. We sat outside and there was a guitar player and it was a little louder than we would have liked. Service was fantastic.

We had a nice, romantic supper here last night. The food was phenomenal. We dined al fresco and the music was nice, and not too loud. We ordered Isle Dauphine oysters that were fantastic, as always. Our entrees consisted of the fresh catch dish, and a shrimp tagliatelle. Took home crème brûlée to-go and it tasted like perfection and was somehow still presented beautifully in the container. The only complaint I have is the mushroom “soup” was eaten with a fork—it was more like a hummus. But the flavor was on point! Thanks for a great evening.

Yesterday was a huge disappointment at The Hope Farm. The waiter was just off and admitted to such. Our waters were never refilled and he failed to bring the drink I ordered. Burgers which are always outstanding was mediocre at best. I was with someone else and hers was perfectly cooked. Mine was very overdone and about half the size of the other. It looked like they were from two different restaurants. I told the waiter but emphasized I go to this restaurant for their burgers and wedge salad. I will be hesitant to return now. It won't be my go to place when I want a delicious burger.

Went in for dinner with a reservation for a birthday dinner celebration and hope farm did not disappoint. From the drinks, service, food and ambiance everything was amazing. Our server Ian did a really great job explaining the menu and timing out all of our courses. We will be back for another amazing experience.

We went to see Zack Chavers sing and grabbed dinner with family and friends. Morgan was amazing, making sure we had a table where we wanted, grabbing heaters to put near us and being there when we needed him. Red snapper, oxtail lasagna, braised short ribs, and squash ravioli with lots of farm to table fresh add-ons were enjoyed by all. This was our second visit and it is a wonderful special place!

A big SO-SO on food & drink. Service was fine but drinks were watered down, mushroom toast was so coated in a confusing, pasty mush we couldn’t taste the mushrooms, mushroom bisque was bland & oysters were embarrassingly small. For the price well try elsewhere.

We were in Fairhope waiting out things to get better in Asheville after Helene. Luckily Hope Farm and Barn were close and ended up being out go to restaurant. We went to the Barn for lunch, more than, several times, dinner at the Farm twice, two days in a row, and to a wine event. All were everything that we grew to expect in every way.
Thank You for welcoming us as family.

Parking: It is one of the few higher end restaurants in Fairhope where parking is not an issue.

Hope Farm did an amazing job with our reservations tonight for my mother’s 86th birthday. As always, outstanding menu and execution. And they treated my mom like an honored guest. Thank y’all! Sincerely appreciated. 💕
