First time dining here and it was a wonderful experience. The food was excellent and the mushroom toast is top notch. The cocktail menu is fantastic and the farm+field cocktail with the lavender foam was one of the best I’ve ever had. The pork chop is one of the best items on the menu.

Our server Greg was also fantastic. It was a slow evening, so he took us on a mini tour and showed us where the restaurant grows its mushrooms and hydroponic lettuce. It was a super cool experience to see where the food we ate was grown and harvested on site! Thank you so much Greg for the wonderful dining experience!

The overall experience was fantastic. Waitstaff and management were engaging without being intrusive. Food presentation was creative and wine service was done well.
Started off with an amuse which would have been better off skipped. A slice of cucumber with a bit ricotta. Appetizers were good. Duck & Peaches and the Crawfish boil ravioli were great. The jalapeño on the duck overpowered the dish, it was very good. Nice salty and sweet balance.
Main courses were both outstanding, ribeye was cooked to perfection and the pork chop was very tender. I had the chimichuri sauce with the ribeye and it was excellent. Vibrant and fresh. The fried okra side was poorly executed. Had it been done correctly it would have been excellent. However it was fried in a big blob.
The desserts were both fantastic. Against my better judgment I ordered the deconstructed key lime pie. It was perfect. Light and tart. My wife had the baked Alaska Spumoni that was torched table side. Beautiful presentation and great taste. They also had wine pairings with the desserts that perfectly complimented.
We will definitely go back and also check out some of the wine classes that they offer.

Beautiful place for a fancy dinner. They have a wonderful outdoor idea that has the perfect vibe for all occasions and they even have live music often in the evening. The main menu is a bit pricy but definitely high quality food! The waiters are very observant and friendly! It’s a great place to come for just some appetizers and cocktails and enjoy a nice evening with family and friends. They have couches and fireplaces as well to make it even cozier outside

When going near Fairhope my wife and I make a point to stop in at The Hope Farm. This time, we got to enjoy brunch there with friends and it did not disappoint. As you can see from the photos our food was incredible and delicious. That was only our first course! The Philips Head drink was very tasty and their twist on a screwdriver.
Favorite thing was the BBQ shrimp and grits. Afterwards we walked next door to the barn for a healthy cookie and some espresso.

I want to be objective but it’s difficult when you spend $125 and I only had soup as my entree. The ambiance deserves 5 stars. A beautiful space. But this star review is for food. We interacted with our server and she was delightful and professional. However, she was not the person to bring out dishes to table. Another girl brought them out and she was less than friendly and she was awkward bringing dishes and sort of plopped our respective dishes on the table and walked away…

Bartender did not know how to make a bar made ginger ale. Unfiltered tap water served at table.

Had to send the stuffed redfish back because it was overly spiced beyond expectation.

Roasted half chicken was more blacken than roasted. Raw slices of beets in the dish, very odd combination. Artistically appealing, but the taste was off. Overwhelming taste of lime and too salty.

A total disappointment was the bone marrow. My husband has had many many times and loves bone marrow when it’s offered. There was not even enough marrow for one small piece of bread (which was not fresh, sort of stale and stiff, not toasted). Mushrooms were placed atop the split bone which concealed how little marrow there was for $21. The mussels were the dish we preferred but they were doused with a very healthy amount of raw jalapeños on top. Why???

The Farm Salad was not presented as described. It was not baby romaine. It was whole fully grown romaine leaves, sort of deconstructed, which made it messy to eat. Once again, the dressing was overpowered with chili flavor.

Every dish we had was overly spiced! Just not sure what the draw is at this restaurant. We saw a couple with just a charcuterie board as their meal, this perhaps is the best idea.

Very strange dessert menu and neither of us could connect the flavors in our minds from the descriptions. We had just spent over a week in Houston (a food lovers town) dining at all our favorites (from Cultivated F&B at The Lancaster downtown to Taste of Texas and everything in between). So perhaps we’re being too judgmental…. Had high hopes for this establishment as we travel between Florida and Texas often and always stay in Fairhope, AL (darling town by the way).

The Hope Farm gives the impression of a five star dining experience, which it charges for but doesn’t deliver in every aspect.

A beautiful and comfortable setting. Though indoor seating was limited? With many open tables not being used so forced outside. Service was friendly and helpful until we had to send our poorly cooked main meals back. Then we were shunned. Chef didn't honor our cook preferences even though we were paying for it and the ones who had to eat it. Food was generally bland. All sides, sauces and butter cost extra. Nothing came with your entree. Mushrooms in meal and appetizers were poorly prepared, very chewy and/or rubbery. Hanger steak had a poor flavor, poor presentation and poor cook.
For the price I expected high quality but it just wasn't there...disappointing. They also stated the dessert was on the house in honor of my birthday guest but then they charged us anyway. Place is beautiful but needs some help and better chefs.

We got a nice light brunch for my birthday and it was amazing! There were quite a few people there but our food came out quickly and our waitress was very attentive. Also, they came out and brought us little treats to sample before we ordered.

The only complaint I have is the hostess asking us to leave while we were waiting to pay the bill because there would be another reservation coming to our table. It would have been nice to know when we needed to leave upon arrival.

Make sure to make a reservation if you can!

Great farm to table dining! Indoor and outdoor seating (including covered areas). Reservations (in advance) are a must! Some brunch, lunch, and dinner options. Frequent live entertainment. Thoughtfully prepared dishes from from rustic and hearty to some refined and elegant. New chef with some newly added seasonal options to come! Service is usually (good to) excellent. Cold glass bottles of water brought to each table and a wide beverage selection available. Table distance provides some privacy for your meal (not overly compacted use of space). Price point slightly on the higher side but you can find reasonable options for the food portion and quality. Overall, very good options especially for special occasions and memorable treats!
