The Hope Farm

We absolutely loved having lunch outside at The Hope Farm!!! We enjoyed the friendly, efficient staff and gushed over the exquisite presentation of our delicious food! Wow! The wine was yummy, too! Our server was just so professional and friendly! We loved her; she made us smile! We can't wait to go back again! Thank you for an absolutely lovely lunch with friends in fabulous Fairhope!

The Hope Farm in Fairhope, Alabama is home to a group of culinary geniuses who are truly God-sent. Every chef there brings a unique flair, guaranteed to wow your palate with every bite. They serve the kind of food that makes you want to do a little dance with every breath. The food tastes like the best dream you’ve ever had. The last time I had a breakfast this good, I was in Paris, France at the famous Angelina’s (est. 1903). I travel the world to discover rich history through delicious meals, and let me tell you—the Hope Farm in Alabama does it better. It’s a culinary phenomenon. They even grow their own ingredients through hydroponics and traditional farming. What more could any of us ask for? This is elevated farm-to-table done right, hitting all the perfect high notes on every plate. Let’s start with the fact that I absolutely hate grits in every shape or form. I wanted to put them to the test by ordering a simple breakfast from The Barn, which came with a bowl of Gouda grits. My word—they made a believer out of me. I cleaned my plate. I devoured their cozy, warm, perfectly made Gouda grits to my surprise. Every bite of their scrambled eggs tasted like paradise. I drove an hour today just because I can’t get enough of their sourdough. I’ve had sourdough in the south of France, Italy, Iceland, Greece, and Switzerland—and I still dream about theirs at night. Their French toast sticks are made from a sinful homemade bread and recipe, with the perfect balance of crunch, cinnamon swirl, and buttery goodness. The only way not to finish your plate there is not to order it. No amount of self-discipline can help you. The bacon was perfect, and they make their own homemade preserves. Their pastries are outstanding. Save yourself a trip to Europe and just drive to Fairhope, Alabama to discover a world where prestige, honor, and food glory meet warm, intricate Southern flavors. Everything I’ve ever ordered for breakfast has exceeded my expectations—and I am a talented private chef. I’ve also had their breakfast flatbread, Eggs Benedict made to perfection and served with perfectly seasoned collard greens, and their burger. If there were a way to give a restaurant 25 stars 🤩, I absolutely would. I’ll be a customer for life. A big shout-out to Jake for the best customer service, and to Logan on the Barn side for helping me discover their sister restaurant, Little Bird, located downtown by the square. I had their tuna tacos two weeks ago, and they tasted like butter—which is how you know the seafood quality is top grade. Keep an eye out for my review dropping soon. Your favorite chef from the Golden Pineapple,
Chef

We are restaurant owners. This was 100/100 staff is well trained, personable. Bar, excellent. Food, excellent. It’s farm to table done right! It’s not over done, it’s just right. Elevated but comfortable. If we lived here it would be on our weekly rotation. Highly Recommend.

A really nice food and hospitality experience overall. Creative and fresh. The cocktails are delicious, the food is amazing. The service that we enjoyed at dinner and then at brunch were exceptional. And then I asked the pastry chef to give us a little behind the scenes look at the garden, really topped things off. The attention to detail in the buildings and grounds and even the plates and bowls, did not go unnoticed.

My husband and I visited here for our anniversary for lunch. The food was absolutely delicious. Service was phenomenal and it had a great vibe. Prices were a little on the high side but you’re definitely getting quality food. I love that they use a lot of locally sourced ingredients. Also it was really neat that the kitchen is open and you can see in. We got to see them making croissants. 🥐 Thanks for a great time!

We made the two hour trip from Florida to visit Farihope, AL for our three year wedding anniversary. The Hope Farm was worth a two hour trip alone. This restaurant is intentional and exceptional. The farm-to-table vibes make the experience personal and delicious. The wait staff was patient even on a robust Saturday evening. I only wish we had more time to try their other menus for weekday and brunch. If you find yourself near the gulf in Alabama, please visit The Hope Farm. You won’t be disappointed. Recommendations: Short ribs, Squash ravioli, pumpkin spice latte bread pudding and their version of the French 75.

There was indoor and outdoor dining at its finest! The food was cooked perfectly and served beautifully! After lunch, we were invited to tour the gardens on property where they grow their herbs and vegetables. We were also allowed to tour the wine cellar. The outdoor dining was absolutely fabulous, if one didn't know any better, you would not realize that you're eating outside.

We went there for Brunch on Sunday. We didn’t have reservation but they were able to seat us quickly as it wasn’t too busy yet. We have been to The Barn and thought of going there but we wanted to more selection of food so we decided to come to this side. I was happy we did! Everything on menu looked so great and it took us a while to decide. We got the Wagyu smashed burger and brisket French dip and mine was some type of egg dish which I thought it was very good with tortilla chips. We would love to try it at dinner time one day.

The food was delicious. My friend and I split the BLT and it was amble. We had dinner reservations at 6:00 and didn't want to over eat. If we had not had the reservation, the whole sandwich would have been perfect. The cookies and muffins we purchased for later were so yummy! Service was good and the place is really nice. I'm going back next time I'm in Fairhope!

I have breakfast and dinner here! Make sure you get reservations for the dinner spot! Also when you enter property to the left is dinner and event side and to the right is coffee and breakfast .They don't have a sign for that so kind of confusing. Dinner Dinner was amazing . We got a few appetizers which were basically main course but cheaper option and one main . We were extremely full but had to get the bread pudding because it sounded amazing! Everything we had was so yummy! I was very impressed with the oysters as they were yummy and the cheese was perfect on top. The only thing i could say they should fix is the expresso martini but i'm extremely picky about them . This one straight up tasted like expresso and nothing else in it . The cup was warm to which is sad . My favorite was the braised short rib as it just had all the most amazing flavors in it. The squash ravioli was a bit salty and i was unable to eat it. I would go back and eat more oysters and try new things definitely. Such a cute outdoor patio and the bathrooms were nice. Music was a tad loud but i liked it because it was live. Breakfast Breakfast was very empty but im okay with that. sat outside and the patio once again was amazing ! They had all there fresh herbs which was fun to spot out. The chi tea latte came in a glass which i thought was strange but tasted very good! The chicken biscuit was my favorite so crispy and little spice added to it and the pimento cheese was sooooo good! Would definitely come back for that. Was heavy but idc was so good! over all i would check it out! very unique fun place

Our first visit to this wonderful restaurant and we will return! Our server Luke, was an impeccable server. We began with handcrafted cocktails, served in lovely long stem coups. "Empress to Dress" was refreshing and delicious. Amuse Bouche; slice of cucumber topped with a creamy herbed cheese and a tiny dollop of house made coulis, was a lovely way to begin our experience. I ordered the market catch which was red snapper from the gulf. Seasoned and seared perfectly atop a delicious, savory risotto with charred shishito peppers to finish off the dish! My husband ordered the amazing Connecah, crawfish Pappardelle pasta. The Gulf Shrimp Risotto was also so flavorful and creamy.

The Hope Farm is a charming restaurant that offers indoor and outdoor dining. My first time visiting and I felt so welcomed by the whole staff. Our waiter was amazing who took good care of us , and took the time to answer all of the parties questions in regard to the menu options. He was very knowledgeable about each item from appetizers to main course. All of our food well presented nicely and each dish was delicious. The dessert was memorable and so good . It was a wonderful dinner experience and I'm looking forward to visiting again soon.

Where do I start! From the live music, to the service, to the food, everything was amazing. Our server was very nice, and he made us feel like we were at home. It was a little chilly outside, so they brought a heater to our table. The country ham croquettes were so melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Hot out of the fryer. The wedge salad and hope salad were super refreshing. I savored every bite. Now to the entrees. We had the hangar steak and the braised beef short ribs. I expected to need a to go plate, but no, we ate every morsel. It was so deliciously satisfying to enjoy. For dessert we got the XO cake with a scoop of the banana pudding ice cream. I am already planning my next trip!

The Hope Farm, where elegant dining resides in Mobile. Begin your journey with a wine flight that includes two white and two red wines that compliment a well appointed menu. Our choice of appetizers did not disappoint, the Brussel sprouts were a delightful start and went well with the short rib entree. Not everything was a hit, the oxtails lasagna had little to rave about, in fact it fell flat. However the waiter was most accommodating and pivoted well in suggesting an alternate. The atmosphere was pleasing and the service above pare. A shining diamond and a must have dining experience in Mobile!

Such a beautiful spot that has thoughtfully curated the dining experience with its modern decor, elevated ambiance, and unique and artful menu offerings. We made the mistake though of not realizing there were two separate sides to the farm for dining with different menus- one is brunch and one is lunch...oops. We chose the brunch side and did really enjoy our food, though. You can tell the kitchen prepares everything from scratch and cares for their flavors and plating. Make sure when you dine here though that you're ready to spend some time- it took a while for service and food. Overall, a pleasurable experience.

We have eaten at Hope Farms 3 times. Two of these times we received excellent, friendly service and our food was wonderful as well. Our last visit was terrible. Our server was so unkind and rude we were both upset with our evening. My husband will still tip at least 20 percent even with terrible service and more if service is good. It appeared the server knew he was not doing a good job because a sweet female server took over and cleared our dinner plates. We tipped the female and left. Unhappy servers should take a sick day and not take it out on customers. Not a pleasant night out

Everything!!! Outside dining is great! Food creativity always is fun and delicious. The servers are experienced and very helpful.

I wanted to love Hope Farm, but it fell short for me. Our server was great and overall the service was great, so no stars knocked off for our waiter! The restaurant and grounds are beautiful too! I had the Duck and Grain Salad and I wanted to love it - but I really didn't prefer it. I wouldn't order it again. However, the burrata with the strawberry and shallot jam was incredible and I loved the black tea crème brûlée. The flavors were spot on! I also had the Yucatán Lines (non-alcoholic) and it was so refreshing, the perfect blend of sweetness! I was disappointed I didn't like my entree, hence the mix review! Hope Farm was beautiful and worth checking out if you're in the area!

First time at Hope Farm. Saturday evening 645pm sitting- should be prime time. The ambiance and decor was perfect. Danny was awesome behind the bar - very good! The food - I really wanted a steak ... had the Hanger- not a perfect cut I know, but ... should be easy to cook medium rare and ... certainly at a restaurant like this, with the seasoning and sides should make it a pretty good choice. They missed the mark. The steak was completely under cooked- not even close to medium rare. I should have maybe known since it is not a 'steak place' ... but steak does show up as 2 of their 9 entres. This is not a low cost restaurant- they need to do better, every time with their steak. May go back for drinks at the bar, but ... we will choose another location for dinner.

Very cool ambience. It was cooler when we were there but a very neat outside area. Great brunch menu. Started with a free taster of a strawberry parfait with granola bite. We got the fresh baked focaccia to start. Ordered the pumpkin bread French toast (shown on the appetizer menu as "bites" but was enough for a full serving). Also ordered the chicken and waffles. Both were very good and did not disappoint. Good service - reservations recommended but we got in early on a Saturday without. Would recommend

What a delightful gem! The espresso martinis were the beginning of our lunch. And yes we did make it a 2 martini lunch because who could resist those precious mushroom glasses? We decided to share the pimiento cheese on homemade focaccia and fried oyster mushrooms. Y'all, this was some of the best food we've ever put in our mouths. Every bite elicited "nummie noises" from both of us. The service was spot on and Christopher, our server provided insightful suggestions, as well as information on the farm-to-table menu. The restaurant is an airy, light filled space with comfortable seating with views of the outdoor patio and raised beds. This is one you need to experience for yiursel

Random date night; last-minute decision to make a reservation for an early dinner. Arrived a little early with expectations to sit at the bar, but we were seated at our table without a hitch. They don't offer my favorite Cabernet Sauvignon, but I was offered another option to try. It wasn't bad! When my first glass appeared to have debris floating inside, it was quickly replaced and I was offered a paper coaster to keep anything from falling inside again. The Root Beer Old Fashioned was tasty! The focaccia bread is made with cheese baked into the top. When we asked about ordering this without the cheese baked in, we weren't accommodated. The server informed us "all focaccia is made with cheese in some way," though this is incorrect. It may be a nice addition to the bread, for those that can eat it, but it was disappointing we were willing to wait longer for a bread made without the dairy. We both ordered the 8 oz. Tenderloin entree. I kept the meal prepared as is; the tortelloni was substituted for Brussels sprouts for his. Both our filets were...bland. I was thankful for the truffled caciocavallo tortelloni to have something with some flavor for each bite of meat. There was ZERO seasoning on the beef. I was shocked. The same was true for his tenderloin-- bland as ever. The meal was good, but it didn't knock my socks off. I really expected better. It's not that I won't be back, but it's no longer one of my favorite places to eat. The drinks and ambience are lovely, but the food wasn't what I expected this visit. Such a shame.

We were very excited to try the farm to table experience. We drove from Pensacola just to have brunch. When we arrived to our surprise it was not on a farm or in a barn as the names and pictures suggest, it was however beautiful inside and out and close to downtown. The food was 5 out of 5 even though the pop tart was served cold. The service how ever is where the 3 stars comes in. Everything was fine at first until we had finished our food and were enjoying our cocktails. The server rushed to get us out so he could go home, This was at noon. We were there for less than 1hr. Took us longer to drive there. As we were determined to finish our cocktails the bartender continued to check if our bill was ready increasing the feeling of being pushed out due to it "being slow". Would love to try again on a busier day when maybe the service staff isn't trying to go home early.

Drinks where great other then that they forgot are order , order a salad with shrimp and steak and the shrimp are hard as rocks and not seasoned at all like they where cooked over a hour ago , they cut a head of Roman and threw chunks of the base on a plate never have I needed to use a knife to eat a Salad , plating was sloppy and ugly 125 dollars I would have rather go to Burger King for a holiday dinner then eat here again

The Barn at the Hope Farm is one of my favorite spots to grab a lunch or pastry for breakie! You can't beat the atmosphere, food or service!

The mushroom Caesar salad was to die for and the muffelatta was scrumptious very nice atmosphere

Incredible menu & farm to table. We had the Tomahawk Pork Chop & the burger that they make from steak. Also had Hope Farm salad & the Brussels sprouts. All incredible & fresh. Our super professional server April took us on a tour where they grow their produce & mushrooms in back. First class restaurant that we are lucky to have in our town!

Everything was amazing! We were at Hope Farm for an 80th birthday celebration with a large party ( 6 adults and 5 kids). The service was amazing, the food was incredible, and the staff even helped us to our vehicles when we were stuck in a massive thunderstorm. We sat outside (in late December) in the pavilion where the portable heaters and the massive fireplace made for an overall wonderful experience. Will definitely be back!

Pretty disappointing. Service was good but food & drink were a big so-so. Watered down cocktails, mushroom toast was so coated in a confusing, mushy muck we could not taste the mushrooms. Oysters were embarrassingly small. Mushroom bisque was bland. For that price point I'd suggest going elsewhere.

Ate here several months ago during a visit with my sister in Fairhope. We were all looking forward to eating here; the menu looked fantastic! The restaurant itself was so pretty .. We definitely had high hopes! Here's what we ate: THE FARM BOARD combination of meats, cheeses, house bread, pickles + preserves ** This was a HUGE charcuterie. You could eat this as a meal and be perfectly satisfied. It was such a lovely board, too. Our table had a lot of fun putting our little crackers together. Such dorks. CHARGRILLED OYSTERS ** These were good! Not much else to say about them, but if you like chargrilled oysters, you'll want to order these. SOURDOUGH BREAD charred scallion butter ** Fantastic bread, but that butter, man! *chef's kiss* POMME FRITES house cut fries | curry ketchup | truffle aioli ** You can't go too wrong with fries, but when they're house cut, they are just sooooo much better. I liked the two sauces. Different than your typical ketchup and mayo. HALF CHICKEN dijon + rosemary glaze | mushroom fricassee | roasted root vegetable | butter braised radish | charred lemon ** This was hubby's dinner. He really enjoyed it. Lovely presentation. Super filling. COGNAC + MUSHROOM BISQUE truffled crème fraîche | dill ** I HAD to try this, and so glad I did! This was so rich and creamy. A very indulgent soup. I literally could have eaten on this and been perfectly fine. The flavor was a knockout. RICOTTA GNOCCHI mushrooms | almond cream | grana padano | toasted almonds | dill | black truffle ** The gnocchis were absolutely lovely. Very elegant dish. The serving size was perfect, especially after eating all those shareables! The cream in this was to die for. 5 stars! Unfortunately, we had service issues on the night we were there. While the food was INCREDIBLE, we had an awful server. She was in a bad mood or something; she would drop food off at our table and not say a word. And a couple of the back servers were not good at serving people - they were very young, and might have been new employees, but they just seemed lost. My sister has since eaten here a couple times and mentioned the service was fine, so thankfully it sounds like my experience was a rare thing.

Perfect am I, perfect service, perfect food. The onsite farm is incredible!! I can't wait to go back with my family!

The Hope Farm was beyond Fabulous!!! Farm to Table food delivered a unique and wonderful dining experience of the freshest of drinks to appetizer to dinner selections. The food was impeccable, as was the service!!!

Solo dinner experience was excellent. I have had brunch here before, but never dinner. Pictured: espresso martini, raw oysters on half shell, Crawfish Fra Diavolo.

I wish I could add a 6th star to this review. We came here for my wife's birthday and were blown away by every aspect of our experience. This is truly one of the best meals I've had in recent memory and could not recommend this place any higher. If on the fence, go to Hope Farm. You will not regret it.

The Hope Farm Collaborative Chef Dinner was to die for. Chef Bill and Chef Adam out did themselves.

Cute property! Absolutely delicious food and drink!! Sat at the bar at noon in a Sunday. Given an amazing amuse-bouche. Ordered a mimosa and chicken biscuit sammie (soft biscuit, pimento cheese, fried chicken, hot honey- what's not to like). Yum!! Finished it off with The Standard (double shot of espresso, brown sugar rum syrup, and milk). Very sad that I'm only visiting the area! If I lived here, I think I'd stop in every Sunday and probably during the week, as well. Excellent service!!

Made a quick stop at The Barn on the way out of town. Staff was delightful and the food choices very diverse. We had the pop tart with an Americano and French toast with a cold brew.

food is good . when you pay $32.00 for a Togo item and it's in a dog box is not right.. present your Togo items to be worth the cost . tired of restaurants treating people like we are homeless and should be grateful that it came in cardboard box. plus never got Togo utensils Gus I was suppose to use my hands bottom line food is good. service is great but running a service business c-

Luke was our server and he was very attentive and knowledgeable. I quite enjoyed the garden outside displaying their fresh veggies grown on property. The food was incredible - we got many appetizers including the gnocchi, frites, and eggplant. I didn't care for the eggplant but it was definitely interesting and something I had never tasted before. I ordered the hanger steak and it was incredible- cooked perfectly and the side was fresh & delicious. Desert was my favorite - baked Alaska and crème brûlée- the best ever

Love coming here when I visit my family. This place is so pretty. They have great indoor and outdoor seating. The food, drinks and desserts are delicious. Very nice atmosphere. I ordered the peanut butter pie and it was amazing. Definitely recommend and make sure to get a reservation and check their hours!

This is my second visit to the farm and both couldn't have been better. The service the food and the knowledge of the staff is incredible. Hope is a must do when in the area. There is no other place quite like it.

Went to the hope farm for a bigger family gathering .. first time in the area as well so I was pleasantly surprised.. I love the farm to table concept they got and the way the restaurant looks from the outside like a beautiful, quaint house .. we sat outside and even thou it was a little hot, I enjoyed the music playing and the chill vibe .. for food we've tried pretty much everything: the homemade biscuits for apps were delicious, the fish was amazing , the cocktails freshly made !!service was top notch as well , shouldn't forget to mention that !!

If you're looking for a restaurant to eat at in the area, look no further because this place is IT! Our waiter was wonderful, excellent service and he was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and flavors. I ate the tenderloin with tortellini and it was the best thing I've eaten in years along with the mushroom toast and butternut squash ravioli. If Michelin is eyeing this place, the chef here deserves a star in my honest opinion. The chef also gave us a complimentary appetizer of a butternut squash soup that was so delicious. You can tell so much thought, care and love went into each dish and the ambiance. We were walking around the property towards the back to see their plants and one of the staff members offered to show us how they grow their mushrooms and their herbs, it was such a treat and very stunning! Absolutely incredible!

My husband and I have dinner here every year for our anniversary. We ate here this past Friday night and as always the service was impeccable. However, the last two years the food has steadily been less than desirable. This past Friday the mushroom toast (usually our favorite item on the menu) was so greasy for a moment I thought they had brought us meat from Taco Bell. My husband's dish was supposed to be shrimp and sausage pasta but the sausage over powered every flavor of the dish that we probably could have saved some money by going to the store and making sausage dogs for dinner. I truly hope Hope Farm can return to it's culinary farm to table roots of good tasting food

The food was excellent! They are a great gluten-free option for those in need. Very fresh and seemed healthy as well. We loved the food. All of it was amazing! We will definitely go back. The service was also amazing! I think her name was Reagan. We LOVED the menu options and the food was incredible. The ambiance was great too. Very classy, nice date night place.

It has been a long time since I have been wowed by a dish, let alone every dish. The live music was fantastic, the atmosphere relaxing and pure. Overall, excellent experience and very appreciative for an excellent date night out. Will for sure be back.

Our first time here. We went on a recommendation from a couple that we met at Red and White. It was for my wife's birthday. Hope Farm did not disappoint! We started with cocktails and then took a tour of the farm. This gave us an appreciation of the ingredients. Very impressive! Our server, Kevin, helped us with our choices from the menu. The manager (whose name escapes me at the moment) gave us the tour and helped us with our wine selection. We can't say enough good about the service! The food ..... Incredible! The flavors and the presentation... were thoroughly enjoyed! The staff made this a memorable occasion and we will return! We so appreciated and enjoyed our evening!

My Red Fish Taco's 3 of them were oh so good, with cooling slivers of avocado and citrus hints layered on mini soft tacos. The al fresco dining was almost too warm but fans kept air moving around. Our server was timely and courteous and very attentative.

We went for the first time for my birthday brunch. They can be a little snooty if you don't have a reservation (we went around 11 on a Sunday), it didn't look busy at all and were told we could sit outside at a high top. The hostess said they don't do waitlists so we couldn't wait for an inside table. No biggie, I was worried it was going to be unbearably hot but our table was right next to a fan. Our server was amazing! We shared the homemade pop tart and it was good, I absolutely loved the jam in the middle and wished they sold it because I wanted some to take home. I ordered the short rib potato hash & my husband got the fried chicken & German pancake, which I almost ordered (glad I didn't). Mine was absolutely delicious, savory, tender short rib, crispy potatoes, tons of flavor. My portion was large and very filling - heavy for brunch but so so good, I had plenty to take home. My husband loved the fried chicken breast, but was underwhelmed by the pancake (it's more on the eggy, thick side) and the filling. Not as flavorful as he was hoping for. I think he'd definitely order what I got next time. Definitely would come again, it's a beautiful restaurant and nice inside or out. There's obviously a lot of thought and care put into their food. I'd just recommend for sure getting a reservation, even just for brunch.

Unfortunately Inconsistent. 2 nights- 2 very different experiences 1. Enjoyed everything about Hope Farm on first visit. Seated on time with reservations. Service was good. The short ribs were very tender and well seasoned. Wedge salad was large ( could have easily split the salad $15) And so on...... 2. The second visit was quite different. 4 of us at dinner. Slow service. Items not brought to the table at the same time. Drink orders forgotten. Cocktails that were ordered the night before, that were very good, came out dripping down the glass and definitely not made to the same standard as the night before. Ordered coffee with dessert. The coffee finally came when everyone was finished with dessert and our check already sitting on the table. Live entertainment was very loud on the patio. Hard to hear conversation at our own table. Notes: cocktails range from $13 - $22. Some are very small. Aged Ribeye $58. Beautiful from the entry to the outdoor patio. Well thought out layout and details. White brick, wood trim, ambient lighting, nice heaters on cold nights, beautiful outdoor separate space for private dining- plus a beautiful fireplace in the car back area. They grow some ingredients on site.

We were so excited to come to this restaurant in Fairhope during our Thanksgiving visit. The food was pretty good but not anything outstandingly WOW. The menu is very limited. Heavy focus on meats. The entree prices are more expensive than many of the restaurants we visit in San Francisco or New York City. Be aware of this. Here's the downside. When you come to a beautifully and architecturally stunning restaurant, the last thing you'd expect to see on the walls are big screen televisions. We were seated next to a giant screen, must have been 12' x 12' in size. It's very strange to have a $300++ for four - farm to table dinner with nice wines and be subjected / forced to endure Popeye's and Applebee's TV commercials blasting at the room during your entire meal. What happened to dining with friends and family and conversation over dinner? Whose bright idea was it to force patrons to watch TV during their high end dinner? Bad form overall. A couple other oddities. It's one thing for the staff to be trained in good manners and service. Great. But he yourself and be a human. Talk to your guests conversationally and be their best friends as you explain the menu and serve them. Here it felt like the staff were so highly overtrained that they seemed like robots. Just be yourselves and make us feel at home. This was a "farm to table" concept, I expect to feel like I'm having dinner at the organic farmers home. No farmer I know acts and talks like this. Their voices sounded contrived and trying to be something else. Our entire table noticed this. They were all doing it. This comes from bad training and management. Not their fault. Someone trained them to do this. Again a shame that such a beautiful and stunning location and interior / exterior turned out to be big screen sports bar TV experience and wait staff speaking in a voice that truly wasn't who they are as normal people. We were disappointed and feel we cannot recommend this restaurant until the big screen TVs go away and wait staff just become more human and normal. (They are nice, just too overtrained) Oh, also clear the tables promptly of menus, empty plates, and make sure if you're serving soups, you give the diners a spoon to eat that soup with. So disconnected. I hope things get better.

Went to NOVA for breakfast and was told I missed the cut-off for breakfast at 10:30. It was 10:32. Lol They still had all the breakfast items out and could have offered me an option as I go there regularly. A bit too rigid for me. I went to Warehouse instead.

By Far and Away... the Finest Restaurant I have dined. (And I dined if some of the Fanciest Restaurants in NYC, Chicago and Los Angeles, over the past 30+ years) The atmosphere is Amazing, the staff is Very Professional and the Food is Fantastic !!! Their wine and spirits selections are Impressive. Their prices are actually quite reasonable when compared to comparable venues in Major Cities across the country. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND and plan to return with my friends/family and out of town guests I would like to impress!!! Hope Farm is Truly the Shining Star of the South, in Cuisine.

We just moved to the area, and I'm being induced with our second child in 4 days. We've been talking for months about our first date night here being at Hope Farm, and my in laws were able to watch our toddler on Friday night. My husband made reservations, and when we got seated, we were outside. Gorgeous area, but it was too hot for me being 9 months pregnant and not used to this heat yet. Disappointed that there was nothing available inside, we made the difficult decision to leave and try again a different day. On the way out, Robert, the owner, saw me getting emotional (dang pregnancy hormones) and asked what was going on. He then got us seated inside at a beautiful table. Greg was our server and was fantastic! We ordered the filet and the dry aged ribeye and were able to have a great date night! Can't wait to come back soon to try more off the menu!

The Hope Farm is our go-to date night venue! Owner, Robert Evans has put together a great farm to table dining experience! Fantastic duck entree, fine prime steaks, and the best charcuterie board in the Mobile and Baldwin County area. A great dining experience and a fantastic wine cellar! A great and memorable dining venue!

We went for brunch on Sunday around 1pm and found plenty of table availability. The ambiance is very nice, open spaces, southern vibe, clean. Service was good too. I really enjoyed the complimentary tasting brought to the table of strawberry-shallot salad, but unfortunately I did not love the food we ordered. The flavors were too heavy to our taste. The crust of the chicken (chicken and waffle) was borderline burnt and I could not eat most of it. Prices are appropriate for food portion but I don't see myself going back for the food.

Everything about our recent trip to Hope Farm exceeded our expectations! Stunning, but interior and exterior. Excellent entrees and bar service. Highly recommend!
