On the 34th story of the RSA BankTrust Building downtown. Great views of Mobile and the port. Many of the dishes are delicious. The Hamburger and fried shrimp are both worth it. Their lunch menu is in the 10-15 range. Dinner is 20-50. No draft beer. Brunch on Saturdays. Reservations a good idea. Ask about the Cooks table in the kitchen--very unique experience

Sightseeing
$10 for adults to go in, but free to walk around outside. It's a rare example of Greek Revival architecture in the United States. The house museum paints a picture of what life was like in Mobile in the early 1800s. Closed Wednesdays and Sundays. A block away from Cream & Sugar.
