This is the ONLY spot out of the legion I've been to in Alabama that actually serves what folks from Louisiana would call gumbo and I was so happy to finally be able to enjoy a good actual gumbo instead of the icky Alabama soup all the other places serve. The ambiance here is really fantastic and they have a beautiful bar here as well. They make some of the best burgers I've ever had and I've had a LOT of great burgers along with way too many blah one. They have an amazing selection of beautiful desserts that make it VERY hard to choose which one you need to order. I've eaten at a LOT of spots in Lower Alabama and so far this one is at the top of the list.

We celebrated one of my birthday dinners at Tamara's, and the food definitely lived up to the hype…read more I had the Shrimp & Cheese Grits with Conecuh sausage and a fried green tomato, and it was excellent. The piña colada was delicious, and they brought me a blueberry crème brûlée for my birthday that was amazing. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals, and everything was beautifully presented. The only downside was the host. He came across as extremely rude and impatient, which was not a great first impression. Thankfully, the rest of the experience was much better. Overall, the food was excellent, and I'd eat there again. Just hoping for a friendlier welcome next time.

There is outdoor seating As well as indoor seating for guests including tables, booths, and a bar top. Wait Time: Can call to get reservations as the restaurant can get busy but wait times are not that long for lunch. Service: The service was well done with the waitress being attentive and friendly while not being overbearing. Food: Can be hit or miss with some inconsistency in the shrimp and grits ordered between same day orders and different day orders. The food has both healthy options for those on a diet and more hearty foods for those who want southern comfort food.

My wife ordered a pasta dish that was too salty to eat. My son in law ordered the Snapper cheeks and they were so overcooked . The meat was dry and tasteless. My daughter and I ordered the seared tuna. It was about 4oz at the most, served with rice( or a bad risotto) and three baby carrots. The tuna special was $45.00 a plate. We were extremely underwhelmed . By the time we ordered and got our food was about 1.5 hours and the food tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time. I've had much better Tuna at Kravers and the Oyster House for about half the price. I would rate this place a 3 out of 10.

This was the best meal of the whole trip. I ordered the Grilled Swordfish and it was absolutely outstanding, perfectly cooked, flavorful, and memorable. My wife, who doesn't even eat seafood, and loved it. That alone says a lot about the quality of the kitchen. We also enjoyed the cocktails: I had the Woodward Old Fashioned and she had the Fairhope Fizz. Both were excellent and well-made. Everything, from the food to the overall experience, felt thoughtful and high-quality without being stuffy. Service by Ali was also very good and quite attentive. If you're in the Fairhope area, don't skip Pearl. It's easily one of the best meals we've had in a long time.

Very friendly people here. Our view was the kitchen, they seem to accomplish quite a alot for the kitchen size. I started out with gumbo, very interesting mix of contents, sausage, shrimp, short rib (menu says chicken), a dark roux and a scoop of potato salad in the middle, very tasty and different. Next she had the pork chop with peach and bacon chutney over pimento cheese grits. The Pork chop was perfect. The chutney, one bite was very heavy on the vinegar. I had the fried chicken tasso gravy, hot honey, marinated sweet potato. This was an exceptional dish and was full when I finished. It was a good experience. Given it was a Friday night at 6ish. It was very loud and vibrant tonight. We will be back.

I had them about an hour after picking them up and they were incredibly delicious! Anything seafood or fish related in Fairhope I would come here to purchase.

I'm pretty sure my steak was previously frozen, or if not, it was most definitely of low quality. It was also cooked unevenly throughout.

Staying in the resort for a few days with the family and another neighbor family (party of 8; 3…read morekids) for a relaxing vacation and play a couple rounds of golf. Dropped into the Bayside Grill on night 1. Requested a table, and they took my phone number (obviously to text me when it was ready)... they then gave our table away to another party because we "walked away" (we stepped just outside the door by their back patio). When confronted, they said "we couldn't find you"... you had my NUMBER! They apologized for the poor communication but offered the choice of a 45 minute wait or sitting at two different tables. Finally got seated at a make shift combination of circular tables that they graciously but awkwardly pressed together. The server was beyond flustered and unprofessional - apron a complete mess and falling off, confused, and generally frazzled... bro are you on vacation too? How many drinks have you had? The table we should have gotten looked like the waitress was managing the party pretty well. It took 20 minutes for the drinks to arrive, another 45 minutes for the apps to arrive. Then another 20 minutes for the entrees. The food was good. Legitimately tasty! Or maybe my entire party was just starving by this point (kids started to melt). The apps were good, most of the entrees and sides were good, the ribeye had good flavor but lacked a good sear, and the espresso martini was watered down (nobody at the table finished theirs). Really hoping that they're having "opening day" type troubles since it's one of the first busy weekends of spring... but I expected a significantly higher level of service based on the staff at check in. I would have thought that being in the business for over a hundred years would have helped construct solid processes and procedures. Cheers to 4 more days in Fairhope.

We're staying here for a conference and didn't feel like going out and we did not want to get dressed up. There is lots of seating and we were given a table immediately inside because it was a little bit chilly outside, but the outdoor seating is really lovely with views of the bay hubby ordered the red fish tacos, you can also get shrimp instead. I got the cheeseburger, which was really good and he very much liked his tacos. We were offered a choice of french fries, chips or fruit as a side for the burger. While the burger was really good, hot and juicy, the french fries did not seem very fresh. I think they had been cooked earlier and that is the only drawback to our meal. The service was really good too.
