    Overall an okay dining experience. Service was good and the place had a nice atmosphere. The drinks from the bar had way too much ice and were watered down. The pot roast I had was good. The seafood pasta my husband had was light on seafood and swimming in so much sauce it was almost like soup. The table beside us ordered the same pasta and actually sent it back because they were so dissatisfied with it. With so many choices downtown, I probably wouldn't choose Dumbwaiter again.

    The food was wonderful as well as the service. I got the tournedos (if you don’t like pepper don’t order this or if you do ignore the other reviews about it being so “horrible”) and my boyfriend had the cutting board. Both were delicious!! We also shared a bread pudding which was phenomenal. Our server was amazing. 10/10 recommend and would come again :•)

    We eat here often. Had the lamb and crab cakes tonight. Both were excellent. Our server Liz was fantastic. We will be back soon.

    Just moved to Mobile not too long ago and I can confidently say this is the best meal we’ve had so far. Great food!

    I had a dinner party here and 2/6 people enjoyed their food. I’m not sure if it was because it was close to closing time or what. But no one seemed to care that we didn’t enjoy our food
