    It was my wife's birthday, and thus she had the privilege to choose where we would go for brunch…read more I had previously decided that I would not dine at this restaurant again, not because I had some gripe about the food, which was excellent, but because their table arrangement in the main dinning area made it difficult for wheelchair bound customers, such as myself, to navigate. This was not a hard and solid decision on my part. Instead I had decided that if I had my druthers, I would not eat there. Of course when it is my babécita's birthday my druthers were of no consideration and I found myself again at Tamara's for a Saturday brunch. We arrived to find the main dinning area to be full, and since we didn't feel like eating in the open to the outside area, we learned that we had an estimated 20-30 minutes wait for a table. Their was six to eight customers waiting around the hostess's stand inside, with another six waiting outside under a covered area. We decided to wait outside, but after about 15 minutes a rain shower began. The kind people waiting on the benches and standing under the awning encouraged us to move in further from the edge where they we were getting wet. A couple standing moved into the restaurant to make even more room for us. The hostess, seeing that it was raining outside when this couple opened the door, came to the door and invited us all in, announcing that she would make room for us all. Which she promptly did. My wife had informed the hostess of my needs, and had requested a corner table for ease of access, but once inside the restaurant, I noticed that the table arrangement seemed less crowded, which helped to ease my concerns about getting to a table. As it happened, right at the 20 minute mark, we were informed that our table was ready, and we were led to a table, not on a corner, but to a table at the end of a row of tables, and against a partition. I found this arrangement even better than our requested corner table, as it meant that I had no foot traffic behind me that I might inadvertently bump into, or bump into me. I was grateful for the evidently experienced hostess working out such a fine alternative to our request, and doing it in such a timely manner. Now I get to the food, and wait staff service. All I can say is that Tamara's management has both pegged to the highest degree. Our waiter appeared immediately, took our orders since we had perused the menu while we were waiting to be seated. As for our food, my birthday girl had the Spinach Eggs Benedict, and I had the Fried Chicken and Waffles. Both were excellent. Neither of us had a single complaint, and my wife, who is fascinated with Tamara's long list of various types of Eggs Benedicts, promised that we will be back for many more visits to try each one. I am grateful that I was forced to forego my pledge not to patronize this establishment again, as it provided an opportunity to learn how the good people at Tamara's made adjustments that allowed my experience to be enjoyed more fully. I am also grateful in that we can continue to enjoy their excellent food.

    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.

    Best cheeseburger I have ever had…read more I give 5 star ratings only for exceptional food. I rate only food.

This was my first time hearing of this restaurant, and now it is one of my must-try spots. First, I love the decor; it gives off 18/1900 vibes. I immediately imagined coming in, sitting in a chair with a book, and drifting to another place because the atmosphere is phenomenal. The waitress was fantastic; she was kind and provided thorough information about the menu and drink options. Again, it was almost 9PM with 15 hungry women. I ordered the fancy Asian wings, and OMG, they were fantastic. I had everyone at my table try them, and they all said they had never been people to try things out of their comfort zone. Well, there were no wings left. I paired my wings with the Quilt Monterey wine, and wow, wow, wow, incredible. My table ordered the salad and fries (baby girl), multiple espresso martinis, an extra dirty martini, and hot fries. Everything was fresh and tasted fantastic! You must go if you have not been to the Fairhope Social Club. The chef was fantastic and the service was excellent!

It's the kind of place that instantly puts you in a good mood. We started with the calamari, which was perfectly cooked--light, crisp, and flavorful. A great way to kick things off. Meals come with salad and breadsticks, and both were fresh and delicious (those breadsticks definitely didn't last long at our table). Service was another standout. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and kept everything flowing smoothly without ever feeling rushed. Timing on the food was spot on. For entrées, the chicken marsala was rich, savory, and full of flavor it was easily a highlight. My husband's steak and shrimp was also very well prepared and equally enjoyable. Overall, Gambino's delivers a great combination of atmosphere, service, and satisfying Italian comfort food. Definitely a spot I'd recommend and look forward to visiting again.

We had the chicken fried steak breakfast with eggs and a biscuit and the biscuits and gravy plate that came with eggs your way and grits. The gravy has bits of sausage patty. We left full! The coffee was hot and kept coming. The service was excellent. We would make the detour when traveling on I-10 to visit here again...until then we will dream of chicken fried steak and biscuits.

But how in the world did we miss Julwin's before? I mean, we truly missed out on this little jewel of a place! Now, I can handle just about anything from Waffle House to Another Broken Egg, but listen, quit scrolling, and head over to Julwin's Restaurant. From the coffee to the biscuit and everything in between, you can tell that those folks in the back know how to cook breakfast. My wife ordered the Western omelet, and opted for the Spinach. I know we didn't take three sips of coffee before our food came out piping hot and fresh off the griddle! The eggs were perfect as were the hash browns. I like my biscuit as dessert, and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. Guys, we'll be back. There's no question Julian is on our must see list on our next trip to Fairhope.

It honestly feels a little like you stumbled into a hidden spot on vacation. The food was solid across the board. You can tell they actually care about what they're serving, everything tasted fresh, not heavy or overdone. The menu has a great mix, from burgers to pasta and seafood, so it's easy to find something no matter what you're in the mood for. The shrimp and grits and the pasta dishes are delicious , and even the appetizers were on point. Service was just as good, friendly, attentive, but not hovering. You don't feel rushed, which is rare these days. What really makes this place though is the vibe. Whether you sit inside or out, it's got that relaxed, slightly upscale but still comfortable feel. If you're in Fairhope and want somewhere that feels local (not touristy), this is it. Easy 5 stars. Will definitely go back!!

    We were in Fairhope for the day and chose to eat lunch here after reading reviews…read more We were seated right away and all the staff are very friendly. It was a nice day so we sat outside in a cool little ally. We started with bruschetta which was great. Not what we think of but delicious. For entrees I went with the meatball sub wife went with the arugula pecan salad with ahi, son got Cesar with ahi and daughter got the flatbread which was a caprese. Everyone loved their entrees. The only negative was the meatballs were a little dry. Would definitely go back though.
