One of the better upscale options in Fairhope, the Camellia specializes in artfully prepared New American fare like clam gnocchi, truffle fries, duck breast and sweet potato hash and hickory grilled fish. A big cocktail list and the option to order small plates and share make this a nice going-out spot for couples or friends.
