The Carriage Wine and Market: Dauphin Island

Truly excellent fresh food on the island. We had the the Mediterranean salad, tuna salad sandwich and cajun turkey wrap with sides of corn salad, orzo salad with a jalapeño pimento cheese starter. All of us were impressed with the great mix of flavors, freshness of sourdough bread and the great service. Everything was crisp and flavorful.
The mood is a quiet beach vibe but classic bistro inside. We had an excellent chardonnay with our lunch. What a great retreat from fried food with an outstanding bar. Check them out for brunch, looks like a lot of variety with traditional southern tomato pie! We found the prices reasonable.

Great new spot in dauphin island. Great ambiance! We have been coming to DI for 7 years and have been wanting a spot like this. Something a little more classy and clean and fresh than the other spots the island has to offer. The bartenders were great and offered us suggestions of places to try in the area. The margaritas were awesome…. We craved them the rest of our trip. We didn’t try the food but the menu looked great and a huge step up from other options on the island…. Like thoughtful and well crafted food options. Definitely more of an adult atmosphere, I wouldn’t bring your kiddos here…it’s not that kind of vibe. The wine shop next store was very well stocked.

This place was great to meet up with friends, family, or a date. I love the wine shop where you can pick up some items for a picnic basket and hit the beach for a concert :-). The drinks and food in the restaurant were all superb. I highly recommend going here. We had such a great time that we stayed longer than planned!

Wonderful experience! Indoor and outdoor seating, ocean views, plenty of parking. The menu is great with a lot of options. Food was flavorful and fresh, drinks were amazing, we were attended to but never bothered, it was 10/10 best place we went on the island. I will absolutely come back next vacation!!!
