Reviews for 219 Restaurant in Mobile, AL
We tried 219 for lunch today and it was fantastic. The quality of the food was excellent - really fresh. We had the Tuscan... eggplant wrap and the crispy chicken wrap; both were really good. The potato salad was also very good. Read more
This establishment failed miserably after we were asked to move to another table in a less desirable spot next to the bar, just... so another party could be seated at the small booth where we had been originally seated, and we had already ordered our meals. Idefinitely do not recommend this business! Read more
We had the nicest lunch here last week. The food is great, we both had the lasagna and it was awesome, but what I most remember... is how very nice the staff was. I felt bad because when we got there I had a little trouble with my wheelchair getting in thedoor, (my fault not theirs) and I accidentally ran over the toes of the young waiter who was holding the door for me. I feltawful, but they were very nice about everything. Really, really just nice people, doing great work in a very pleasant littlerestaurant. I recommend 219 very highly. Read more
Wonderful little place we stopped in for lunch while visiting downtown Mobile! The staff and the owner were ultra-friendly ---we... even got a complimentary glass of wine because they were taking pictures for a promotion they were doing. The food was fresh andhot.... I would definitely recommend it! Read more
Look, I don't even want to write this review but I am hoping it brings some things to light to help this restaurant improve.... Within the last 2-3 years I have eaten at 219 sporadically and each time it seemed to decline. It is the closest restaurant toour office so several of us gave 219 more than a few chances, for convenience sake. In the past I tried the gumbo, which waspretty awful, it was more like an italian seasoned soup, one of our coworkers found a sauce bag nozzle in his salad, the meat onthe roast beef sandwich was pretty gross, but hey...stuff happens right? So when 219 closed for a bit and reopened we thoughtmaybe it was under new ownership? or at least a new chef or standards? I ventured out today and unfortunately it is no better. Iordered a half soup and salad, allergic to tomatoes asking to leave those off. Tons of tomatoes on my salad, the squash puree(supposed to be soup) was pretty awful (basically baby food with a little salt and black pepper) and it used to be very good,and a few stale/hard end pieces of bread, all for the thrifty price of $17. Now, I will say this, I absolutely will supportlocal businesses and will pay whatever they believe their food is worth with no complaint, so long as the quality measures up.This did not. I truly hope 219 is just "working out the kinks" and they will get back to their once great reputation. I alsohave seen the owners defensive and sarcastic responses to people so before you take this the wrong way, please know...I amhoping for the best for your restaurant and I hope this only helps you improve. Also, bring back Craig. Read more
We read about 219 offering free meals to Louisianians staying in Mobile during hurricane Ida. We thought that was as so awesome,... we went to support 219 by having lunch there. Had the Cajun roast beef And wife had the Muffaletta, both were well presented anddelicious. Read more
Excellent service, a lovely patio in the back, and delicious food. I had rice and beans with chorizo and a healthy and lovely... house salad. My wife had a tasty Thai chicken salad. We were pleasantly surprised by the small oatmeal raisin cookie thataccompanied each of our meals. Thank you! Read more
