Dramatic view meets distinctive dining at Dauphin’s. The menu spans every flavor of French Creole, but it’s the panorama spanning Mobile Bay that first wows you on arrival to the 34th floor of the Trustmark Building. Custom work from local artists joins brilliant Italian glassware by a magnificent baby grand in the piano bar surrounded by shades of blues that mirror the waterfront view. Perhaps the best view in the house is found in the kitchen, home to the area’s first and only chef’s table. Enjoy a sunset over the skyline while chatting about your dinner selection. The name Dauphin’s is a playful twist on the history of owner Bob Baumhower and Mobile too: the “dauphin” was the title of the French crown prince when that country founded the Port City in 1702. And football – with the Miami Dolphins – consumed the first chapter of Baumhower’s career before turning foodie with a 14-restaurant family known as Aloha Hospitality. The menu celebrates classic coastal cuisine with hints of Caribbean and Creole soul.

Bob Baumhower launched Aloha Hospitality in 1981, bringing his passion for food and a wing recipe gifted from a Buffalo Bill football pal back to his college turf in Tuscaloosa, AL, Today, Aloha Hospitality includes Baumhower’s Victory Grille, Wingfingers, Dauphin’s, and a Cuban-themed speakeasy – Las Floriditas – located in the Trustmark Building’s historic bank vault basement.
