After filling up with an excellent complimentary meal we strolled over to this cool little place…read morethat way over to the right of the upper level on the opposite side of Original Oyster House. The name is cool and the sign boasting tropical wines lured us in. I specifically wanted to see if I could find an extraordinary wine that I found last year, somewhere in Mississippi. It was very inexpensive and I recall being intrigued by it at a roadside shop but can't remember where exactly. It was a coconut wine, I know it sounded weird to me too, however it was a delightful light & sweet wine that was super tasty and I want to find it. Sure enough this fun shop has lots of tropical wines, pineapple, mango, orange, apple, peach, pina colada, kiwi and even grapefruit but alas there was no coconut. The gentleman came over and offered to give us some help with his explaination of some of the various vineyards and specifics. Indeed Joe was our tour guide and provided some excellent choices of wine and had quite a few for tasting. While we were browsing we saw a big selection of Purple Toas wines which is a very nice Winery in Paducah, KY that's near our our old sailing home where we raced out sailboats. We did tastings there and really enjoy several of their wines, my favorite is the Black and Bruised and yes Joe's got some and we got some of that to bring home. I also spotted a nice selection of Biltmore wines from another one if my fave wineries in Asheville, NC.i asked for their riesling and yes they have it, so some of that to go. Next it was time to try something new so Joe asked of I like peach, to which I replied "does a bear ...." well I do live me some peach. He faces me a taste of an ice cold peach wine that knocked my socks off, so yes that was out next selection. We tried a couple others before Joe recommended an apple wine that is fermented in old bourbon casks. It was very poignant and reminded me of my sweetheart's favorite single malt scotches soooooo I had to get some of that for her. It's like a fine sipping wine for her, like a nice winter wine is for me :-) They have some other cool stuff in the store like frozen pina coladas made with wine a d sime fun gifts items as well. We racked up some nice selections of favorites and several new ones and now our wine fridge is all filled up. Bottom line: Joe is a very friendly, knowledgeable and fun guy to help you find just the right fun wine for you. I haven't seen this particular variety of fruity wines anywhere else in the area and recommend checking this place out. They do have traditional whites, reds, blancs and blends but the stars are the fruits.

It's the worst when establishments won't let you near the bathrooms, especially if your a mother of a child below the age of 5. Dislikes: It gets 3 stars out of 4 because of price. I stopped in for wine and noticed that all wine bottles are marked about $4 above the grocery store prices in South Carolina. Now, this could be because of taxes but either way... bring your own wine to Alabama.

Since Alabama still has no lottery this is the closest place we have for the Florida Lottery, Powerball & Mega Millions, etc. They have a wide selection of liquor, beer, and wine with a nice craft beer section, mixers, and libation extras.

Bottom line: Flora-Bama Liquor & Lotto has got practically alcohol and more plus a nice RUM selection. My kinda place!

The fries were really good too, and I have to mention the ranch because I am PICKY about ranch and this was the good kind! The drinks were also a win.

No disappointing meals here! Great food, great drinks, and that lobster roll alone would bring me back. Definitely one of our favorite meals of the trip!

As a local, I've been to Zeke's more times than I probably should admit, and every visit seems to…read morefollow the same formula: great atmosphere, beautiful location, mediocre food, and service that somehow finds a new way to disappoint. The place itself is gorgeous. The setting is fantastic. You walk in thinking, "Okay, this is going to be a great experience." Then somewhere between the host stand and the check, things begin to unravel. Today finally pushed me into Yelp-review territory. We stopped in around 1 p.m. on a slow Sunday. The hostesses were gathered around the stand chatting like somebody had just dropped screenshots from the group text. The person who eventually greeted us was wearing dark sunglasses inside, which was certainly a choice. Not exactly the polished first impression you expect from a restaurant charging these prices. Once seated, things didn't improve much. Our server struggled to explain the specials, answer basic menu questions, or really seem familiar with what the restaurant was serving. Again, if I'm paying Zeke's prices, I'm expecting something slightly more polished than, "I thinnnnk that comes with..." Then the food arrived. One sandwich was specifically ordered without onions because of a food allergy. It arrived covered in onions. Another meal was supposed to come with Brussels sprouts. It arrived with fries instead. Our server disappeared for about 15 minutes after the food was dropped, so by the time she came back, we were nearly finished eating and in need of refills. I mentioned the missing Brussels sprouts and was told they'd be "right out." The Brussels sprouts were not right out. In fact, the Brussels sprouts apparently entered the witness protection program because we never saw them again. Neither did our server. Eventually she returned with the checks, seemed surprised that the Brussels sprouts had never arrived, removed them from the bill, and otherwise appeared remarkably unconcerned that the meal had been wrong from beginning to end. And that's really my issue with Zeke's. Restaurants have off days. Kitchens make mistakes. Servers forget things. I get it. But when you're charging premium prices, service should be the easy part to get right... and after multiple visits, Zeke's consistently misses the mark. At this point, I'll spend my local dollars elsewhere. And if you're visiting from out of town, just know what you're getting into: the view may be beautiful, but there's a decent chance your wallet will leave considerably lighter while you're still wondering whatever happened to your Brussels sprouts.

It can be hit or miss depending on what you order however, we have been enough to know and share with others what to order and what to stay away from. The following is from our most recent visit. We began the meal with a Cosmo and a Fairhope Brewery Blue Steel Sour. Both were very good. The Blue Steel sour has notes of blueberry. For an appetizer we ordered the cheese dip. It consist of three cheeses, including Gruyere, which is one of our favorites. The cheese also comes with feta cheese and a tomato relish over the top, which we find very good. It makes the cheese dip a little different than others. The tomatoes are very soft and the relish is on the sweeter side. My Wife got the chicken roulade. It was okay. The chicken was good however, it is wrapped in bacon and flash fried. In our opinion the flash fry isn't needed and it adds the risk of the bacon being overdone or burnt, which is what happened. The Parmesan risotto was a little gummy but had good flavor. The cream sauce that accompanied the dish was probably the best part. I got the fish sandwich and upgraded from sheepshead to grouper. You can get it fried, blackened or grilled. I chose grilled and it was really good. It was not the first time I have gotten the fish sandwich. The bun is a sourdough/Hawaiian roll hybrid. I got an order of fries to go with the fish sandwich. Their fries are really really. They're slightly battered and crunchy. Very good with ketchup or tartar sauce or both! If you visit I would suggest sticking to the fish sandwich, burger or fish dish (grilled/blackened) that comes with a cream based sauce. Their drinks and beer is selection really good as well.
