Overall, it's pretty nice. We had to ask for the bread, but that was all we had to ask for. The server only came around a few times, but she was very nice when she did. Delta cakes were the best menu item that we had. The bread was probably the best thing we ate. We also really enjoyed our drinks; I had the thyme out, and my fiance had a beer.

Drinks and dinner were delicious. Enjoyed the fried green tomato appetizer (Bama Gump); the Caesar salad was run of the mill, nothing wrong, nothing special. But, not too high priced so no complaints. The Shrimp and Grits dinner offered eight large shrimp and a hearty portion of flavorful grits. The filet mignon was cooked well and served with potatoes and some asparagus. I had a chance to sample both thanks to my dinner companions, since my swordfish pilar, while the most delicious thing on the table, was a small portion (4-6oz) and offered with no sides to accompany. If I’d known I’d have added a side dish, but that wasn’t very obvious when ordering. Our server, Lo, was delightful. Great attitude and sense of humor. Water was never empty, and food and wine delivered quickly. She is a true professional, quick, and a great asset to the staff. Also, a shoutout deserved by the bar server, JT(?), who was very perky, and the bartender was incredibly swift for happy hour on a Friday.

All in all, a great meal just missing a side dish on the fresh catch meal offering.

(We had a 7:00 dinner res for 3 people; arrived at 5:45 for happy hour and were seated early upon request.)

Parking: Parking garage took a moment to find, but was well marked. Bring a compact car, it’s snug!

Did a Sunday brunch, but the
Desert. Was the highlight of the meal. Cream brulee, beautifully displayed on a large plate.

The ambiance made the experience lovely, and the food was flavorful. Prices were slightly high for the portion sizes, though.

Dietary restrictions: They knew what items had dairy or found out if they didn't. Modified an item for my girlfriend so that it didn't have dairy.

Usually, the experience is great, but tonight was much worse. We had reservations for 7:15 PM, but were not seated until 7:55 PM. We had to ask for bread and appetizers, and we didn’t receive water until 8:25 PM. We finally placed our drink orders at 8:45 PM, and received only one refill throughout the evening. The service was slow, and we didn’t finish everything until 9:45 PM. There were no bon bons at all. We had to ask multiple times to place food orders and request more bread, but never received it. We also had to ask for dessert.

To make matters worse, when the water was poured, it splattered all over my daughter. The food, however, was delicious. The only person doing a great job was the chef.

Upon arrival at 6:50 PM, we were told that they were setting up our table, and then informed 15 minutes later that we had to wait for someone to leave. At 7:45 PM, we were told it would only be a few more minutes. They offered drinks from the bar, and some in our party ordered drinks.

While we enjoyed being together, this experience was far from ideal. What started as a small inconvenience ended up being a series of service issues that left us frustrated.

Atmosphere makes this spot worth it. Amazing views.

Food isn’t the best, but isn’t terrible either.

Must visit in Downtown Mobile! It’s on the 34th Floor, giving you a fantastic view of the city and Mobil bay. Must try the Crème Brûlée, presented artistically, and so decadent! …surprisingly great value, and more so at happy hour…Enjoy!

Stating the obvious, absolutely lovely views! Good service and nice ambience. I've been here a few times now, and hope to go again soon. Tried a couple of dishes from the menu and always been happy. The only reason I am not giving all five stars is because I wish their menu had listed vegetarian options for the main course. Some of my friends are vegetarian and while they will go for the view, the food experience has not been as satisfying for them, and then I also feel a bit bad for enjoying my food. Based on what we were told by our server, the kitchen offers a vegetarian plate for dinner, but it's not an option for lunch. To end on a sweet note, they also serve this yum hibiscus butter with complimentary bread, which seems to go very well their thyme drinks.

We had a great experience at Dauphin’s. We were greeted by the nicest server in the bar area while we awaited our reservation. He appeared to enjoy his job. Our server was excellent and the food was delicious! They have a great Happy hour! It was a Girl’s weekend and we would definitely go back again!

I have this chance to visit Mobile, AL & have dinner in this luxurious restaurant, every thing was perfect. I recommend trying Joe Cain Dip (kinda spinach & artichoke Dip). It's fantastic.
