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…

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…
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,…
Osman’s Restaurant Review
For my birthday 2 weeks ago, Mark and I decided to try a locally-loved, but new-to-us, restaurant—Osman’s. [source] Osman’s has been in business since 2000, and it’s family owned and operated by Bosnian immigrants. Tucked away in what I’d describe as an odd location (it’s not in the best part of town), the restaurant is…
Lap’s Grocery & Grill Review
This past Saturday we finally visited the newest fixture along the Mobile Bay causeway: Lap’s Grocery and Grill. Lap’s has been open for several months now, but this is the first time we were able to sample their food. The last time we attempted to have dinner there, it was a busy Friday night, with…
Rosie’s Grill Review
In an effort to try something new this past Saturday, we decided to give Rosie’s Grill in Daphne a go. We’ve passed by many times, and I’ve heard from a few friends that the food is good. For whatever reason (location, maybe, since it sits off the street in a strip mall), it always slipped…
Ely’s Restaurant and Bar Review
When we were in Mississippi visiting Mama and Papa Miele earlier this month, we had the pleasure of dining at Ely’s Restaurant and Bar. [source] Located on the second floor of the Old Towne building in Ridgeland, Ely’s sparse, yet contemporary, décor makes it unique among steak and seafood restaurants. [source] Our waiter, Chris, was…
Mirko Pasta Review
Several weeks ago, Mark and I decided to try a new restaurant called Mirko Pasta. Originating in Atlanta, Mirko Pasta is a Southeastern chain, with a focus on traditional, fresh pasta and quality ingredients. In my experience, Mobile doesn’t have an abundance of high-quality Italian restaurants. Sure, we’ve had fantastic pizza at La Pizzeria, but…
Of Bräts and Beer: A Review of the LoDa Biergarten
This past Friday night, Mark and I ventured to the newly opened LoDa Biergarten. The location has been home to two past favorites: Picklefish (another location is still kicking) and Hopjacks (Pensacola, FL), both of which offered some delicious pizza. As the name suggests, LoDa Biergarten is a German bar and restaurant. While they have…
