Our best dining experience in Mobile so far. Our dinner was excellent (my husband had the tuna and I had redfish). Our server, Kat, was wonderful - attentive but not intrusive. The ambiance was perfect. Will be our first stop on our next trip to Mobile!

I’m color blind when it come to race but I found it odd that manager made his way over to my table with my date to tell me remove my hat. When walking in three gentleman was sitting with tshirts and hats on while dining. What was the cause for this? Food portion for price did not match I ordered steak asparagus and potatoes and portion was exceedingly small for $65 price

expected fine dining. food was very good, however it was not on the fine dinging level. I would for sure recommend Dauphin's and we did rather enjoy ourselves. It is just that the food, although very good, does not match the service level of the resturaunt... Like I said though it was a wonderful experience overall

We have recently moved to the area and were looking forward to spending our 24th anniversary at Dauphin’s. I booked our reservation about a month in advance to hopefully ensure we get a particular table we wanted that we saw on a previous visit. Because of the previous patrons camping out at the table for over 2 hours (per staff) we were not able to get the table we requested – ok, we understood the restaurant cannot do anything about that. But, instead of putting us at one of the six tables for two that were available in that area (four stayed available during the duration of our stay) they put us in a completely different area. We should have said something immediately but did not want to start our evening on a bad note. The food was just ok. My husband's pasta was tasty, but nothing that could not have been made at home. The initial cut into my ribeye was full of tendons, but a good part of the middle was good. The Baldwin salad had what seemed like thawed out frozen strawberries, but it too was ok. Our server was just kind of cold and humorless the entire time; she also cleared the table before my husband was even done eating (BTW, we did not complain the entire time about anything – we were trying to stay upbeat). We ordered the pina colada cheesecake dessert to take home and just tried it this morning. It was really bad, it’s like someone forgot to put in any sweetener in it at all and it wasn’t well blended – there was big chunks of plain cream cheese throughout it and the crust was like wet flour. We threw it in the garbage. There are other restaurants in the area that are so much better in every way (Jesse’s in Magnolia Springs is one example). The view is the only reason to go; to call themselves “fine dining” is a joke.

The good: The poke bowl was great, as always. The key lime pie and crème brûlée were wonderful. Ambience never misses! The not so good: Steaks were unusually under-seasoned and slightly overcooked (ribeye & filet). The asparagus was slightly undercooked and the two chocolate cakes (to go) were horrible. I felt that those items were not at all up to par for what we've come to expect from here.

I took my wife here for our 13th wedding anniversary. I really enjoyed the enforced dress code because I didn’t want to go somewhere and see people in flip flops and daisy dukes. The hostess cordially greeted us as we entered and led us to our table. The view from the 34th floor is astonishing. Our waiter, Stevie, was very professional and kind. He really catered to us. The food was amazing! The dessert was absolutely delicious. I was very shocked at the price of our meals as they were actually on the cheaper side. Our experience was exceptionally good. Dauphin’s is a must if you’re in the area.
