Service is always good. Food is always great. We love this place, and we try to make a stop anytime we are in Fairhope. I had empanadas, tuna crudo, and we shared an octopus skewer. Tuna was my favorite. My husband had the huge pork chop.

First time here. Won’t be last time here. I wish I was there again, and I only just left. We had the sourdough bread service, collards with pork belly, and the Iberico hamburger. Oh yes, and bottle of Somantano (red). The only spots left (for 2) for reservation were at the bar, which was just fine, but I’d like to sit at a table next time. It’s all a tight fit in there when full, but definitely go. If you are in Fairhope…Go. When I’m back in Fairhope, I’ll go again, at least once.

We always enjoy our dining experience at Plane & Level. Last night, we celebrated my son's 22nd birthday, and the service, food, and atmosphere were exceptional. We savored the special paella, which was filled with fresh seafood, including red snapper, and Royal Reds, along with a variety of delicious tapas. We left with full bellies and very happy hearts. Don't walk—run to Plane & Level! The Chef and the entire team offer an incredibly unique experience and it is a wonderful addition to our Fairhope community.

Absolutely amazing every bite that I put in my mouth was delicious. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is in the mood for Spanish influenced food or just a good meal in general needs to check this place out. I was also told that the chef has plans to change the menu up since the restaurant is themed as "aviation" He's going to be doing flights to new destinations, so that's a unique concept! And the restaurant itself had a nice ambience each table was different with cozy Miss Matched chairs.

Everything about this experience was 5 star. We had 5:00 reservations on a Sunday, so it was a slower night. The staff was knowledgeable and welcoming. We enjoyed a little of everything, including tartar, wagyu empanadas, oysters, octopus, patatas bravas, short rib, gelato, and tres leches. I have NO notes, it was fantastic! A perfect anniversary dinner.
