Mobile has a complicated relationship with fine dining. It seems that any time a unique, upscale eatery opens, it’s filled with supporters, only to shutter months or years later due to waning patronage. Some of my past favorites—Bistro Escoffier, True, RBS Chicken Shack, The Italian Fisherman, among others—are all but a memory (and faded blog…

Date Night Dinner at Dumbwaiter on the Hill
It’s been a long time since Mark and I enjoyed a fancy date night together, so you’d better believe we were excited to try a new-to-us restaurant, Dumbwaiter on the Hill, for his birthday a couple Saturdays ago. Well, I say it’s “new” because we’ve never been to this particular location, but we have enjoyed…
A Noble Brunch at The Noble South
Hey guys! How’s your week shaping up? Mine has been challenging (read: SLEEPLESS) the last couple of days, but luckily we’ve reached the hump. Not to wish my life away, but I am hoping the rest of this week flies by. And that Bazooka sleeps the night in his bed. Until then, I can gaze dreamily at…
Brunch at Five (Restaurant Review)
Y’all, this past weekend we actually got out of the house and DID STUFF. I mean, we didn’t go crazy, but on Sunday we drove Bazooka Boy over to my parents’ house so that we could have a few hours to ourselves. So what did we choose to do with those precious few hours? Brunch,…
Von’s Bistro – A Review
To celebrate my birthday, we decided to try out a new (to us) restaurant while my mother watched the babe. I’ve heard great things about Von’s Bistro—which also has a food truck and well-loved market and eatery down in Bayou La Batre—so it’s been on our radar for a while. If you didn’t know of this place…
The Best Meal in Mobile – A Review of The Dumbwaiter
Just when I think I’m over the “food” in “foodiecology” and want to focus my writing on lifestyle-centric things, I eat a meal so overwhelmingly delicious that it almost brings tears to my eyes. I may not be a natural-born cook, but good food is the way to my heart. I adore the stories it…
Montego’s Caribbean Cafe & Bar Review
Happy Tuesday! I don’t know about you, but I’m glad my gully-washer of a Monday is over. So. Much. Rain. Apparently I’m really bad about posting timely restaurant reviews because I’m just now getting around to sharing last month’s Labor Day weekend experience at Montego’s Caribbean Café and Bar. I guess I’m busier than I…
Brunch at The House {Restaurant Review}
A couple months ago, my in-laws were in town and offered to watch Baby M while the husband and I had a “day date.” Since we weren’t feeling any of our go-to favorites and I’d recently heard an advertisement for The House, we decided to check out this new(ish) restaurant for brunch. The House is…
Sunset Pointe Review
Early last month, Mark and I enjoyed lunch at the fairly new Sunset Pointe restaurant at Fly Creek Marina. The location itself isn’t new—it was once home to the Fly Creek Café—but Pete Blohme’s recent incarnation opened early this year (Pete is also the owner of Panini Pete’s, one of my favorite local sandwich spots,…
7th Anniversary at The Melting Pot
This past Sunday was Mark’s and my 7th anniversary. It’s crazy how fast time has flown since we said our vows, danced the night away, and nearly suffocated on wedding cake thanks to a photographer who was really awful at giving instructions. Good times! Since we’re old folk who like to relax on Sunday evenings,…
