    Butter

    Finding the place was a bit of a challenge, but as long as one could locate the correct door, there would be a sign that points in the right direction. My partner and I went straight to the top floor and were seated in a spot that allowed us to see the entire city view. It was very clear that this was a fine dining spot, because I was given a blazer by the restaurant staff since I failed to dress up for this occasion. I have never tried alligator meat before and managed to taste it for the first time here. It tasted like popcorn chicken and having Thai chili sauce was a good move because it offered the dish good flavor. I didn't use any of the ranch dressing. The gulf shrimp chowder was extremely tasty because it contained a good amount of black pepper and a lot of shrimp and cream corn, making the soup taste creamy in a flavorful way. My partner had great things to say about the duck, which was a specialty dish. The maple glaze was obvious and provided the duck breast meat with good flavor. However, the green beans were very plain with barely any seasoning. I ordered the farmer's plate, which was a vegetarian dish, and I thought that it was overall only okay because the snow peas were very undercooked, and they occupied majority of the dish. The green tomatoes, tomatillos, and zucchini all tasted very good. In terms of desserts, the chocolate cake was very hot and moist inside, which made it clear that it was fresh. The outer crust was very crispy but the inside tasted too plain. The key lime pie was very well-made, with a soft layer of graham crackers along with tasty mango syrup and hibiscus reduction defining the extra taste. Overall they both tasted great. I must mention that our server Ashleigh was very attentive and helpful. My partner and I appreciated her help a lot during our experience. Also, it was good to listen to some quiet live performances during the dinner because it added an extra level of vibe.

    Banana Dock's Chicken

    Dauphin's is such a treat! I take clients there to eat every time I'm in town and everyone leaves amazed. The food and the service is always amazing. The ambiance is elegant and perfect for meetings. I would love to try something new on the menu, but I just can't turn down the banana docks chicken. The chicken is perfectly juicy every time!

    Oh my what a view and the ambiance is perfect for lunch or an intimate dinner. But most importantly, great friendly staff.

    Been a few times, and I highly recommend their brunch! Their dinner is good, but definitely more pricey. Brunch is reasonable and very tasty! Plus you can see the views during the day! Service was very nice! We made a reservation, and though our whole party wasn't there, when we asked if we could go ahead and be seated they took us back. Ordered: Joe Cain dip - spinach and artichoke dip but elevated. Could eat with a spoon! Breakfast bowl - everything was cooked well Royal st. Rooster - huge chicken sandwich! Said sidewinder fries, but was told later they didn't have any which was a bummer Fried gulf shrimp - fried perfectly Eggs a la bama - love fried green tomatoes! And the potatoes were great

    Now this is always a staple for us to go to when we visit Mobile as my father is from there we always come from Mardi Gras and Christmas. The views are spectacular. Ambience is great. Service is great food unmatched.

    My family and I stopped here during a drive through Alabama. My father-in-law wanted a nice dinner with a view, and this place certainly delivers on the scenery. The view of Mobile is gorgeous. The interior itself feels pretty dated though. Our server Ev was friendly and gave great recommendations, but the rest of the staff had an attitude. Hard to act that fancy when the food is this inconsistent. Appetizers were actually the highlight of the meal. The 5 Rivers gator bites were excellent with an amazing dipping sauce. The mussels were big and well prepared, though the garlic white wine sauce was a bit underwhelming. We also tried some fish cakes that were dry with an overly mustardy sauce. Entrees were where things went downhill. My Steak Diane was not worth $44. The sauce was watery, the mashed potatoes had a weird aftertaste, and while the steak was tender it just wasn't juicy. The seafood pasta my family got was better, so that's a win, but another entree i don't remember the name of left them feeling meh. For dessert, the cheesecake tasted like it came straight from the refrigerator section at a grocery store. The bread pudding was genuinely good though.

    This tuna stack was very tasty, head great flavors served with a chilled spoon, everything was fresh and nicely put together

    Perfect for lunch! We walked in and were immediately seated by a window. The view during the day is spectacular. It's a very professional setting. Service was on point. We were served French bread with two different flavors of butter. Our entrees were huge for a lunch portion and delicious. This is quickly becoming one of our favorite places to eat!. I had fried shrimp and asparagus and he had a chicken sandwich that rivaled any I have ever seen!

    Steakhouse Filet Salad

    The view as we're great! I really enjoyed the steak salad! My steak was absolutely cooked perfectly. Kenneth our server was amazing as well. He was so amazing the whole time! The dessert was delicious. I would definitely come back. It's the perfect place to get dressed up for! Only small issues I had was the food took a really long time to receive. Including the dessert as well. The bathroom could use some updating as well. Other than that it was such a great experience

    We went to Dauphins for lunch Food was great Uncle Willie's Shrimp Tacos, LA" PAELLA , Shrimp'n grits, Shrimp platter. Service was great Ambience was great I have to give 5 stars because 6 wasn't an option.

    View was amazing. Food (cheese board) was so so (crackers were stale, I was too lazy to send them back). The waitress was awful. She not only forgot small plates for the cheeseboard. She forgot silverware. She forgot our second order. And she forgot to come back and ask for the second drink . Dress is upscale. But you can dress casual and sit in the chairs as you come in by the bar.

    Pasta Del Mar
    Samantha P.

    Me and a group of friends had a reservation for a birthday dinner at Dauphin's. The reservation was relatively late so we were one of the last parties. It was a quiet night and the staff was so sweet. The bartender made me a drink that I didn't really like so she replaced it with a custom drink. I told her I love hibiscus and tequila so she made me a hibiscus margarita/martini. It was so good that several of the ladies in my group ordered it as well. I ordered the Joe Cain Dip which I wasn't a huge fan of. It wasn't bad, just not my favorite. The Pasta Del Mar made up for it 10000%. The food was hot and perfectly plated. Nothing was overcooked and the mussels were really good. Also, our server was absolutely amazing. She made sure to answer all of our questions and was very detailed in her descriptions of the different menu options. It was my first time going to Dauphin's for dinner but it definitely won't be my last.

    Filet Mignon
    Susan W.

    This is our first time at Dauphins . We are in Mobile for the evening and decided to try it out . The bread they bring out is a baguette and it comes with the whipped hibiscus coconut butter and the sea salt butter . Believe me the hibiscus coconut butter is the winner it's got a sweet taste a lot like honey . My husband had a side salad that is their house salad and it was good with fresh lettuce , tomato , red onion , carrot, cucumber and croutons . For our entree he has the filet mignon that came with Parmesan asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes he said it was excellent. I had the Steak Diane which is the surf and turf , the grilled shrimp were cooked perfectly and seasoned well , the beef tenderloins were cooked to order and the mushroom Demi glacé was great , I also had the Parmesan asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes which was also delicious. Our server Monica was friendly and very great at service . I do highly recommend this restaurant if you are in downtown Mobile . We will do sure be back again when we come back to this area . Side note it is a nice and quiet like fine dining and the view is absolutely gorgeous.

    Filet Mignon which was prepared perfectly. Very tasty!

It took our server about 20 mins to come over and take our order. So we put in our food order when the server came by to take our drink order. Food took about 40 mins from when we ordered to when we got our food. I used to work in restaurants (the busiest of restaurants) and know that you should staff more, prep more, and place larger food orders in anticipation of being fully booked friday night till sunday night. I ordered gumbo. My niece got biscuits and gravy. The gumbo was pretty good except would have liked the roux a little thicker. The gravy on the biscuits was lacking in flavor. I love diners and love supporting locally owned businesses. Maybe some staff called off this particular day because the service was slow. But I wil be back.
