I had to create a separate entry just for the room service in the hotel. While my room was only okay, the food and room service was wonderful.
I ate dinner in my room for most of the nights that I stayed in Mobile as we did not leave the office until well after dinner time. I would call as soon as I entered the room and place an order from the numerous choices on the menu. The food ranged from the normal burgers to filet mignon to seafood dishes prepared with a southern flair.
Some of the choices I made were somewhat cautious, as I did have to go to back to work in a few hours and could not risk an upset stomach. I also do not each that much seafood. I have been unable to acquire a taste.
Some of my choices were the Caesar salad; cool, crisp and delicious with just the right dressing. I also had asparagus and ricotta cheese filling in pasta, sooo good if you like asparagus. The mushrooms on the side were to die for, cooked in seasonings that I throughly enjoyed, I think they were sauteed in balsamic vinegar. I also tried the buffolo wings which I am a huge fan of...just enough heat without being overpowering and plenty of napkins provided along with the blue cheese accompianment. For dessert, cheesecake with a chocolate bottom crust was lovely.
At one point, I also tried a bacon cheeseburger that was good, and the bacon was smoked, which was unusual but tasty.
The service was great--the food was always delivered within 30 minutes after the order was placed. The attendant was friendly each time without being too nosy. I even received a call one day in my room to see how I liked the service.
I would recommend trying the restuarant in the hotel if you are in the area at some point.
