Whenever the opportunity presents itself, my wife and I, along with some friends, take a trip out to the Marriot in Point Clear for the absolutely wonderful Sunday champagne brunch. The ambiance is incredible and the food delicious! It is an experience worthy of the drive.

It is difficult to pull off a total success but Southern Roots makes the grade. Punctuating a great menu with even better specials, and add spectacular service and a recipe for a great evening is born. A petit filet perfectly prepared to temperature and a grouper special was the fare paired with a nice Caymus Cab. Pre dinner wedge salad and gumbo was delightful. Add the ambiance of a sunset and you will see why we were pleased. Ask for Camden who served with distinction. A great place for a special night.

I’ve eaten here on my last 3 trips to Fairhope. Food and service are always outstanding and last night was no different. I try something new every time and have never been disappointed. The biscuits and crawfish gravy are a must! Can’t wait to go back.

Took my wife and mother to their 4 course brunch on Mother's Day. We had a fantastic time, lovely drinks, and the staff were all kind. One gentleman asked if he could take a photo of us while I was struggling to get us all in a selfie. One of the Chef's came out with our server to help deliver the dessert. Always good to see that kind of service and dedication combined with an establishment of this caliber. Continue the great work.
