We made our reservation for 5:45 PM, and from the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with such warmth and genuine hospitality. The hostess was friendly, polite, and attentive, which immediately made us feel right at home. Our waiter, Chris, was absolutely TOP TIER! He was AMAZING from beginning to end. He made sure we had everything we needed, kept us comfortable throughout our meal, and provided exceptional service. The food was delicious, and the dessert was the perfect way to finish an already wonderful meal! We brought our friends along, who live in the area and had dined at The Gathering before, so they already knew what a great place it was. After experiencing it for ourselves, we can definitely understand why they came back! And I have to give a special shout-out to the lovely lady who checked on us throughout the evening. I'm not sure if she was the manager or owner, but she was absolutely wonderful! She personally came by to make sure everything was going well and that we were enjoying ourselves. And as if the evening couldn't get any better, she treated us to some pork rinds that were DELICIOUS! It's exceptional customer service like this that makes people want to return--and trust me, our first visit definitely will NOT be our last! We had a fantastic time, enjoyed every bite, and truly appreciated the kindness and hospitality shown to us. Thank you, The Gathering, Chris, and your entire team for making our evening so special! We'll definitely be back!

Dirty martini was excellent, Kumamoto oysters and all accompaniment's were delicious. Where they fell short...we ordered salmon crudo at the same time that we ordered oysters and there was a very long delay between the two, our waitress even came over twice to reassure us that the crudo was coming. But...our entrees were brought out before the crudo. kind of defeats the purpose of a cold crudo when you're eating it with your hot entree :-( We were comped a dessert, which we would have ordered anyway...to add insult to injury, my snapper was overcooked and dry! DH said his scallops were delicious, but lacked the promised orange flavor. Funny/not funny, eating the crudo left me disappointed and wishing for a better experience. I actually continued to think about it when I got home, it bothered me that much. Not sure what the restaurant could have done differently...as they say, timing is everything! $216 + tip = $258.19 for dinner for 2...I should not leave disappointed.

So we had to eat before arriving on Friday (we had a late lunch at David's Catfish House and it was very good). On Saturday we drive out of town and found South Forty on our way back to Mobile. It was about 10:45 am and a little early for a burger, but after reading the reviews decided to go for it. Glad l did as it was in many ways as good or better than our favorite burger places in Mobile. So if you find yourself on the way to Monroeville stop in at South Forty, you will not be disappointed.

I showed her my ADA card, and she went and called the owner who told her that he/she was going to post on their website that no animals are allowed including service animals. I told her that was illegal and they are breaking the law, and she became quite nasty and said "We have the right to refuse service to anyone." Again I attempted to educate her on the legalities regarding service animals and she said to me "Are you going to stop talking and listen to me?" When I asked to let us eat in peace and please get away from our table, she became irate and told us to leave that she was going to call the owner. I'm very well aware of my rights regarding my service animal and that she will hear from my attorney. As I was leaving and she had the owner on the phone, she then tried to tell us we didn't have to leave. After she had been rude, non compliant with federal laws, and called attention to my elder sister and I, staying was not conducive to her ugly attitude. She NOR the owner obviously seem to feel federal laws protecting people with disabilities apply to them. Perhaps a bit of insight will keep them from discriminating against someone else. I WILL indeed be contacting my attorney as well as the Justice Department, and the State of Alabama's ACLU. Under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), private businesses that serve the public must allow service dogs to accompany their handlers into all areas where customers are normally allowed. What Businesses Must Do Allow Access Everywhere: Service animals must be permitted in public areas, including restaurants, grocery stores, and hotels, overriding standard "no pets" or health department food-service rules. Treat Equally: Businesses cannot isolate customers with service dogs, charge extra fees, or demand pet deposits. Accept Only Dogs (and Miniature Horses): Under the federal ADA, only dogs (and in specific guidelines, miniature horses) trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability qualify as service animals. Emotional support animals are not protected. What Businesses Can Ask When it is not obvious what service the animal provides, staff may only ask two questions: Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Staff cannot ask about the person's disability, require medical documentation, require a special ID card or certification, or ask the dog to demonstrate its task. I called back at closing time to obtain the owner's name and phone number, she refused to give me either and told me I had to call back in the morning. She then proceeded to tell me "I'm the rude woman that spoke to you and when I once again attempted to explain that service dogs are protected by Article 3 of the American Disability Act, she started again arguing. At this point, I played the phone down and walked away not wanting to argue with her or to be rude and hang up on her. Its unfortunate that this lady feels she can not follow the laws she doesn't want to, and that the owner seems to feel their business is exempt from federal laws. Robyn Belknap 8/24/2026

I visited Union Public House yesterday at 5:50 PM and was extremely disappointed with the service…read more I've eaten here before and have never had an experience like this. I was seated in the middle of the bar with customers on both sides of me. My server took my drink and food order, and after that, she never returned to check on me. I watched her walk past me several times while attending to the customers directly to my left and right. Not once did she ask how my food was, whether I needed another drink, a box, or my check. Eventually, another server noticed my frustration and asked if I needed anything. I told him I needed a box and my check and explained that my server had never returned to check on me. His response was, "We are all working the bar." That response was unnecessary and dismissive. If everyone was working the bar, it makes it even more confusing that I sat there for so long without anyone checking on me. A simple, "I'm sorry about that. Let me take care of you," would have been the appropriate response. I understand restaurants get busy, and I don't expect perfection. However, basic attentiveness and customer service should be expected, especially when a customer is sitting directly at the bar. Unfortunately, this experience was very disappointing.

We broke down just outside of DeFuniak Springs and had to have our vehicle towed. Since we were…read moresuddenly without transportation, we booked a room at the Holiday Inn and were trying to figure out how we were going to get something to eat. We decided to order from Sweet Southern Comfort, but because their online ordering and delivery system was still fairly new, we ran into a few issues getting the order placed. I ended up calling the restaurant several times, and every single time, Garrett answered the phone. He was incredibly patient and helpful. He never sounded frustrated or acted like we were bothering him. Instead, he calmly worked through everything with me until we finally got our order placed. By that point, we were extremely relieved because it had been several hours since we had eaten, and we were definitely ready for some good food! Shortly after placing the order, we received a text with a link that took us to Uber's tracking system. It showed our food being prepared, then showed that a driver had picked it up. About 20 minutes later, however, the order suddenly showed as CANCELLED. We couldn't believe it. I want to make it very clear that this was NOT an issue with Sweet Southern Comfort. The restaurant had prepared our food and handed it over to the Uber driver. The problem occurred after the driver picked it up. At this point, I called the restaurant yet again, and Garrett answered. He confirmed that the driver had picked up our food about 20 minutes earlier, exactly as the tracking information had shown. He was clearly upset that this had happened and kept apologizing to us, even though none of it was his fault. What happened next is the reason I felt this review needed to be written. Garrett didn't simply apologize and tell us to contact Uber. He personally had our entire order made AGAIN and then got in his own vehicle and drove it to our hotel himself. And somehow, he went even further than that. While he was on his way, Garrett actually called us and asked if there was anything we needed him to pick up from the store since he knew we were stranded at the hotel without a vehicle. That kind of customer service is almost unheard of anymore. Garrett took a situation that could have ended with a very frustrated and hungry family and completely turned it around. He treated us like neighbors instead of customers. He had absolutely no obligation to remake our food, personally deliver it, or offer to stop at the store for us, but he did all of those things simply because he wanted to make sure we were taken care of. If it hadn't been for Garrett going so far above and beyond, we probably would have ended up making dinner out of whatever snacks we could find in the hotel lobby. Instead, we were able to sit down to a full meal -- and the food was absolutely PHENOMENAL! If you order from Sweet Southern Comfort, I highly recommend the Burnt Ends and the Bayou Fettuccine. Both were fantastic! Great food is always worth recommending, but when you combine great food with someone like Garrett who genuinely cares about his customers, that makes a restaurant memorable. Thank you, Garrett, for taking such good care of us on what had already been a very long and stressful day. Sweet Southern Comfort absolutely earned our business, and if we are ever back in DeFuniak Springs, we will definitely be eating there again!
