Boeuf Bourguignon at Kitchen on Main
“At Kitchen On Main, there is always a chalkboard with specials. We ordered the special of Boeuf Bourguignon and it was the most delicious tender beef served over mashed potatoes along with shareables: crab cakes and Buffalo oysters. The food was beautiful and delicious. It really is fine dining quality food in a casual, friendly atmosphere. Reservations are desired as this gem of a restaurant is usually packed. The secret is to call ahead, you won’t be sorry!” – Buddy Bates, Retired Vice President and Property Manager for Regions Bank

Grilled Beef Tenderloin Medallions at The Trellis Room
“What more can I say about this dish other than that it is simply exquisite. The grilled beef tenderloin medallions are juicy and flavorful, with a delicious melt-in-your-mouth tenderness — you could cut them with a spoon. Tucked away inside the historic Battle House in downtown Mobile, The Trellis Room is low-key fine dining at its best, with a wonderful menu and without the crazy expensive price to match the quality.” – Cam Jackson, Director of Membership, Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce

Coffee Braised Short Ribs at The Royal Scam
“I love to dine, and, most arguably, one of the best places to do so is The Royal Scam. I ordered the coffee braised short ribs. The dark intense sauce was a perfect compliment to the tender meat. Creamy parmesan polenta was an awesome vehicle for the sauce. While the beefy comfort food is rich, polenta, which is higher in fiber and lower in carbohydrate, gave some credibility to a healthier option. Tender grilled asparagus stood up to the robust flavor of the dish and helped tie everything together.” – Ginny Behlen, Dietitian, WIC at Mobile County Health Department
