    Beautiful property and concept! I was a bit disappointed in the dining room as it was so open and sterile feeling. The decor was modern farm style and well done. The server ( long hair blonde guy) was excellent! Really enjoyed him. My huge pork chop was perfectly cooked with a sweet bbq type sauce & perfectly prepared sweet potatoes and broccolini ! My wife had the Beef tenderloin and it was tender and moist at medium rare. We did not like her side choice of a mushroom dish, very sour, the mushrooms were lost somewhere n that process. We both tried to eat the mushrooms ; NO. Left them in the bowl. This was our anniversary diner and the hostesses gave us a nice greeting card . Sweet touch. I will absolutely recommend this venue, walk thru the area where they grow herbs, veggies, fruit etc. And we are coming back to enjoy the coffee and pastries in the Barn !

    Restaurant was overbooked, under staffed and out of many items. We’ve eaten here before several times, but this time we could since that something was off. Even the front hostess seemed scattered. Waiter and staff seemed over whelmed. Follow up review- the restaurant manager actually contacted us to let us know that they were aware of the service problems and appreciated our feedback. Very impressed with a business that takes the opportunity to learn and improve from their shortcomings and customer feedback. We will definitely return and look forward to our next visit to the Hope Farm.

    We were extremely excited to try this place as the reviews looked fantastic. Upon being seated we were told they had sold out of all seafood entrees. This left only 4 items to choose from, none of which we wanted. Seeing as we were from out of town and had no other reservations for the evening, we decided to stay and just go with the flow. My husband had a burger, he ranked it a 6/10 as it was very greasy. I opted for oysters, wedge salad and the mushroom bisque. The oysters were good. The wedge salad did not have enough dressing to lettuce ratio. The bisque was 6/10. Service was sub par. We had to constantly ask for refills. Dessert was 2/10. I had the pear cake. It was bland, dense and had no real flavor. We were extremely disappointed in the overall experience and will not be back.

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

    So far, in our first four months living in the area, hope farm was the finest meal we have found. Every aspect was so well done. The baked Alaska is superb! Service and quality of food was excellent. We plan on going back many times. The wine list is first tier. Things are pricey….but it is worth it!

    OMG! We had some “time to kill” before checking into our condo in Gulf Shores. I have never been to Fairhope, so decided to stop to eat here: The Hope was absolutely amazing…..from the food to the mimosa flight infused with their homemade lavender/lemon and blueberry/rosemary syrups (which I bought) to the beautiful grounds to our fabulous waitress Kayla. This is by far one of my favorite places in the US. The vibe is so unique - country meets Bougie meets spa. Perfect for ANY occasion. Will be back any chance I get! 15 out of 10 stars!

    This was a delightful find. It was our first time; and, we celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary.  Though they were very busy with multiple celebrations, the service was lovely. The kitchen was 50-50. But, what was prepared well, was very well. We will return.

    We really enjoyed the food, everything tasted delicious. The service was attentive without being intrusive, our server was knowledgeable and helpful. It was nice to see and hear the live music happening outside indoors on the screens. It wasn't too loud for talking at our table, so that was good. All in all, it was a very pleasant evening and we would return if we lived in Fairhope or nearby.

    We thought the food quality did not reflect the price. While the ambiance, decor and beauty were perfect, the service was lacking as was the food somewhat. The waiter did not anticipate our needs. There was no offer of fresh pepper, salt or proper utensils. ie spoons for soup. Our expectations were high but the $500 tab was a tad high for our taste. The bar was the best part. Our guests enjoyed the special mixes by the bartender. My martini was supposed to be light on the olive juice. Slightly dirty became salty. I wish there were more positives. The dining experience was not horrible, just not up to expectations. Best wishes.

    This was our first time visiting Hope Farm and we experienced their Brunch on a beautiful sunny Saturday morning on the outdoor patio area. We had high hopes as we were driving an hour (one way) for the visit and they did not disappoint. The food, service, and atmosphere were all superb—TOP QUALITY—loved the decor inside and out too! The only slight negative to mention was we felt the front door hostess station was a bit snobby and not very welcoming (particularly the young long blond haired woman), no welcome or good bye or even a smile. Other than that, we didn’t let that ruin our visit and had an absolutely lovely time. We have already recommended the venue to other family members and friends. We plan to return for a dinner experience as well.

    We had a bit of a service issue when we first arrived. When the wait staff and management team realized the issue, they were extraordinary in their response. In fact, when we were driving home, the members of our party talked at length about how impressed we were with the management and staff, and their handling of our little hiccup. We already knew that the food and ambience was fantastic. Now we can sing the praises of every other aspect of this wonderful place.

    We came for brunch during Easter weekend while visiting Fairhope. This was by far the highest quality food experience during our time in the area. From start to finish, this meal was delicious and memorable. Their wine & cocktail list is comprehensive with high-quality offerings, although a bit pricey. We look forward to visiting for dinner to further evaluate. If it is anything close to their brunch offering, we will not be disappointed. We look forward to the next visit.

    I love going to The Hope Farm. It is so expensive and everything is à la cart. I feel like portion sizes including the drinks are pretty small. I leave hungry and end up eating something else when I get home. The food is always very good but because it’s gotten so expensive I doubt we will be going there again.

    Best restaurant in Fairhope and probably the whole Mobile area. We had the pleasure of meeting the chef, Adam, who came from excellent restaurants in Denver where my husband and I used to live. The ambiance is relaxed yet refined, and we enjoyed having a 2-piece band right in front of our table. Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable and said the chef hosts classes for the staff to keep their learning going continuously. Brilliant dishes with a mixture of spices and influences, and the dessert was so creative...a root beer baked alaska! Can't say enough good things about Hope Farm.
