I've eaten at this establishment on Sundays many times for brunch and have been very pleased with the service, food and overall experience. Eating in the evening was an entirely different experience. It's rather pricey and the menu is small. Our server wasn't particularly professional and didn't seem to have much experience for waiting tables at an upscale restaurant. It took a long time for our food to be served. I couldn't figure out why since the restaurant was practically empty. I doubt we go again in the evening but totally recommend the Sunday brunch.

I was in town with family. I made a reservation for 1:45 p.m. through the OpenTable app, but upon arrival, we were informed that the kitchen would be closing at 1:50 p.m. This left us with only a few minutes to place our order. If the kitchen closes that early, the latest reservation time should be adjusted to reflect that—perhaps 1:15 or 1:30 p.m. The staff seemed eager to close by 2:00 p.m., and as a result, our meal felt rushed. We finished in about 20 minutes, which detracted from the overall dining experience.

Wow, this place blew me away. It's small but mighty. Everything we got was delicious. Their bloody Mary was covered in bacon and garnishes. The crab cake was just a single crab cake (for $26) but man was it good. We also had the bourbon French toast and it was 3 super thick cuts smothered in a Carmel glaze. Yum! We also ended up getting the half Ruben and man that was tasty too. I've never been to Mobile before but i would travel back just for this place.

We had an early Sunday breakfast and the staff was very accommodating when we asked to change our table to inside since it was warmer than expected out. Our server, Crow, was very attentive and we lacked for nothing. Food was delicious- we had an omelette, a version of egg benedict and crepes and all three of us were satisfied. Very nice place- I was from out of town visiting my college-aged son.

We had an early reservation for dinner and enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere, attentive service, and delicious food. This has been a favorite brunch spot for us this summer, but our first dinner. All around a great experience and highly recommend!

Beautiful little place with great service. Unfortunately the food quality does not match the setting or the service.
We loved brunch and our server Crow was incredible- not only attentive, but a warm friendly class act!

Excellent food and service. My only issue is with the noise level. We had six at our table and couldn't hear each other very well.

The food is wonderful and the service was top notch as well. We stayed at the hotel across the street and they gave us free drink coupons and then a coupon for a 3.00 breakfast.

Breakfast at Bistro Saint Emanuel is an absolute delight. Tucked into historic Fort Condé Village, the space is filled with charm. Dark wood interiors, cobblestone streets right outside, and big windows that flood the room with natural light create the perfect backdrop for a relaxed and elegant meal.
The food is outstanding. Classic New Orleans inspired flavors meet Gulf Coast freshness. The crab-topped benedict with silky hollandaise is rich and satisfying, and the crispy potatoes are cooked to perfection. Paired with fresh coffee and warm service, it is a brunch that feels special from the first sip to the last bite. Excellent service also!
If you are looking for a place in Mobile that blends history, charm, and unforgettable food, Bistro Saint Emanuel is a must.
