Tonight we ate at Ginny Lane's in Orange Beach, AL. We have been here for six days and eaten out at least once if not twice a day and this was by far the best we have had yet and probably the best we will have.
It is located at the Warf, which is cool in itself. There is a huge farris wheel to ride, which is great if you have kids. There are lots of cute shops, a coffee shop, gallery, and a zip line for those dare devils.
Ginny Lane's has mostly seafood along with a variety of other things such as pastas, beef, pork and chicken. Everything on the menu is what you can find most anywhere but with their own personal touch and their own touch is what makes everything magnificent. We started with one dollar draft beers and six dollar a dozen oysters. Then moved onto entrees which included the Orange Beach Grouper and Fried Seafood Platter. Yes most restaurants at the beach have grouper and fried seafood platters but not like these. The grouper was cooked to perfection with Orange Basil Aioli served with grilled asparagus and mushroom risotto. My husband's platter consisted of beer battered fries, wonderfully fresh coleslaw, and fried shrimp, oysters, grouper, and scallops each battered differently and fried just right. For dessert we had the bread pudding which is plenty for two to share. The pudding had big hunks of warm bread with a sweet white cream sauce covered with cool whip and fresh fruit. They also have a nice selection of dessert martini's. We ordered the white chocolate martini made with three different liquors so just as delicious as alcoholic.
I must say everything from the location, to the atmosphere (they also have outdoor seating), to the great service, and the most melt in your mouth food was the best we have experienced on our trip. I give them a three thumbs up!!! I think we will be back tomorrow for lunch.
