Upon arrival, we were immediately informed that they were short staffed…. That was an understatement! There were only two waiters and almost every table was occupied. I must note, our waitress was very good and had such a pleasant attitude considering the circumstance. Unfortunately, I must mention the food. My son and myself ordered steaks which were both horrible, mine was 85% grizzled fat, I basically left the whole thing untouched, and the other steak had absolutely no flavor and was very tough. Looking forward to a good cup of coffee and dessert, we were informed that they took the coffee machine away and no longer serve coffee. The dessert was probably the best part of the dinner experience BUT it would have been even better paired with a cup of coffee! Overall, waitress was a doll, but I have to give the restaurant a big thumbs down! We will not be returning. Also, it was very expensive for what we got. If I walked out of there with a great meal, I wouldn’t care about the $$$ BUT that wasn’t the case.

My husband and I are new to the area and from Sarasota. We have dined four times at Sean's Prime Dining as a couple and also with friends from Sarasota and the Texas hill country. The meals have always been either excellent or very good. Our visiting friends also enjoyed their selections. Our server this week, Jennifer, was very friendly, helpful and attentive. I had the snapper and my husband had the seafood pasta dish. They were both very good and fresh. The truffle fries are always a treat and the filet mignon we have enjoyed during our past visits were excellent. I would recommend Sean's Prime Dining as a good selection for dining out in Fairhope.

This was supposed to be Prime Dining and it was anything but that. The ambience was severly lacking. This was our 58th anniversary and we were looking forward to a special evening. We sat down and they removed 2 place settings which was fine, but also the fresh flowers? We told them them about the anniversary and no big deal. Would never go back.

We arrived at the reservation time and were seated at a table. A server brought us a glass of water and asked if we were going to want anything other than water. I said we would order wine when we had made menu decisions. That was the last word spoken until we left thirty minutes later. No one came back to our table during that time. During the half hour we waited we took a good look around and decided we did not like the ambiance. The place is very sterile, with no charm. With televisions over the bar and loud music on the sound system, it did not feel like a fine (or “prime”) dining establishment. We could have lived with that if the service was good and the food worthwhile, but we never tasted the food because the service was nonexistent. With as many good restaurants as there are in the Fairhope area, I see no reason to ever try Sean’s Prime Dining again.

Extremely disappointed. Mediocre finer food with the fast food quality services. We came here for our anniversary (marked on our reservation) when we walked in we were pointed to our table, after a few minutes our apparent waitress walks up and says what do you want to drink? No introduction, but I received my bar drink quickly. Our reservation was at 6 and it seemed like the staff was still trying to prepare for the start of dinner service. Our waitress came back and said ready to order? I asked if there were any specials and she said no. Nothing was suggested, we weren’t told the vegetable of the day or anything else. We both ordered the filet and it was decent, I think there was a lot of gravy and may have been better on the scoop of potatoes instead of directly on top of the steak. Our waitress never check to see how our food was or refills on drinks. We sat for about for about 20 minutes after completing our meals and after I stacked our plates our waitress realized we were done. I wasn’t offered a to go box for my leftovers nor was dessert offered. Even as our waitress dropped off our check she continued her silent treatment and didn’t thank us. Really disappointed with our services compared to the price.

The appetizers had a good quantity of choices and I got the Lobster Roll. It was very good and with large lump pieces of Lobster. My wife got the NY Strip which was cooked as she requested MR. I got the short ribs which is actually the best bang for the money if ordering beef (Other choices are good also). The server was right on the ball. My only negative is the martini's are not big (so I had 2). This is a good choice for dinner in Fairhope for dates, families or just husband and wives. We have been several times.
