    The sautéed crap claws were insanely good. Jubilee charcuterie was tasty and plentiful. Our filet was cooked perfectly and the shrimp and grits were yummy.

    This is a wonderful restaurant off the beaten path. Located in Ft Conde village, Bistro serves up an outstanding French based menu. The onion soup is delicious. The fresh catch was a great entree choice. Service is attentive. Definitely a spot to visit if you are searching for a good place to eat in Mobile.

    This is the first time we have been to the restaurant. It was Mother’s Day with the prefix menu. The food that could be prepared before such as soup and the crab dip were very good. Everything else, not so much. Service was very good despite being understaffed in my opinion. Two kids and two adults with the prefix menu put our tab at just under $200 with only one cocktail per adult each. They went ahead and added a 20% gratuity for us.  It was a cool venue, will probably try to give it one more time without the kids and not on a Mother’s Day weekend.

    Bistro St. Emanuel is a charming French bistro located in the heart of Mobile, Alabama. The restaurant offers a diverse selection of classic French dishes, as well as more modern American fare. Bistro St. Emanuel is the perfect place to enjoy a romantic dinner for two, or a casual meal with friends. The service at Bistro St. Emanuel was also top-notch. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, and she made sure that we had everything we needed. We had a wonderful dining experience, and I would definitely recommend Bistro St. Emanuel to anyone looking for a great meal in Mobile.

    Food was not had. Decor very nice, however hard floors, hard walls and hard ceiling make a loud echo chamber when the restaurant is full. Service seemed a bit overwhelmed but they were seated to capacity, so understandable. Servers were polite and cheerful. Would recommend.

    Food was cold, and wait seemed long for amount of customers. I called ahead to bring a small table topper for my daughter’s graduation, I was told it was fine, at the restaurant I was told repeatedly and in an aggressive tone , decorations were not allowed. Overall experience not good.

    We were very pleased with our experience on a Friday night. Parking was easy. We had a drink at the bar first then moved to our table. Drinks were a little slow but not a real problem. Food was fantastic. (I had snapper special, husband had filet). It wasn’t real crowded which let us feel comfortable lingering at the table and visiting with friends. Would definitely go back! Highly recommend!
