Camellia Cafe - Fairhope

I took my 7-year-old daughter to Camellia Cafe for her birthday dinner and wanted to give the restaurant another chance to see how the staff handled the service. Once we arrived, we were seated...

I visited with a group of friends, and the service was excellent. The food was even more impressive. Be sure to try the pork chop; they brine it before grilling, and it’s delicious!

What a fantastic restaurant this is! A Fairhope, Alabama highlight, for sure! We sifted through some idiotic Google reviews to choose this stupendous place. A 1-star review stated, ?...excellent food...excellent service... but we didn?t like the decor...?? What a maroon. The decor is upscale and clean, while still being comfortable and inviting. Upon arrival, my senses were treated with the subtle smell of hickory wood, my hopes of grilled and smoky meats were not letdown. From the cocktails, served with flavor and fresh produce flare, to the local craft brews and well selected wine list, our relax time kicked in nicely. The specials, grilled rack of lamb and scallops looked amazing, but the KobeBurger and Truffle Fries hit my grilled/hickory craving just perfectly. This one one of the best burgers I have had in my life! Wow! Sometimes you just gotta have a burger. Delicious. The truffle fries are on par with my favorite PrintworksBistro in Greensboro, NC. Delicious and addictive. The fish my wife ordered was perfect! 5-Stars for sure. Light, freshly flavored on top of a sweet potatoe, almost ratatouille like, but flavored so nicely. I think I would have enjoyedanything the chef served. What a find! Thank you Camellia Cafe and our server Edwin for a splendid meal.

The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The dinner was delicious. I wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend this restaurant to others.

I really enjoyed this hidden gem in downtown Fairhope. The staff and the food were outstanding!
