    One feel's the chef's excellent training immediately in the food. An attention to both regional and international recipes that have been tested and retested before landing on the table.

    Overall, this was quite a disappointing experience, in stark contrast to dining here before. The restaurant was not crowded as it was 5:15 but we sat for 15 minutes before the waiter (Eric) asked us for a drink order. One of the party ordered a clear martini, which took an inordinate amount to time to be delivered and was wrong (dirty) and had to be sent back. A second martini ordered was wrong also. Two of our party ordered the beef rib was good but unrecognizable as it was completely covered with foam. The salmon and fish special ( snapper) dish were ok but nothing out of the ordinary. The vibe our party got was that the staff was disorganized (or disinterested) in being at work on Christmas Eve. We hope that this experience was a one-off due to the holidays. We had guests from out of town that we had bragged to on P&L , but our experience was underwhelming.

    Our entire experience was phenomenal. Food, service and server knowledge, wine, cocktails, and atmosphere. We can't wait to try more of the menu.

    I highly recommend this gracious restaurant. The food is really beautiful. Quite tasty. And the ambience is very peaceful. And love the music.  Really pretty bar, and the dinner tables are like antique bistro tables.  Feel free to dress up and feel like you are in one of the best restaurants in the world!

    Service is always good. Food is always great. We love this place, and we try to make a stop anytime we are in Fairhope. I had empanadas, tuna crudo, and we shared an octopus skewer. Tuna was my favorite. My husband had the huge pork chop.

    Wonderful selections! Glad we have become a stop for you when in Fairhope.

    First time here. Won’t be last time here. I wish I was there again, and I only just left. We had the sourdough bread service, collards with pork belly, and the Iberico hamburger. Oh yes, and bottle of Somantano (red). The only spots left (for 2) for reservation were at the bar, which was just fine, but I’d like to sit at a table next time. It’s all a tight fit in there when full, but definitely go. If you are in Fairhope…Go. When I’m back in Fairhope, I’ll go again, at least once.

    We always enjoy our dining experience at Plane & Level. Last night, we celebrated my son's 22nd birthday, and the service, food, and atmosphere were exceptional. We savored the special paella, which was filled with fresh seafood, including red snapper, and Royal Reds, along with a variety of delicious tapas. We left with full bellies and very happy hearts. Don't walk—run to Plane & Level! The Chef and the entire team offer an incredibly unique experience and it is a wonderful addition to our Fairhope community.
