New 'Cajun' Restaurant Finally Gets Named

Fairhope, Alabama 

 


 


 

OPENING SOON

Renovations underway for over a year now are nearing completion and staff is now being hired for a new Cajun seafood restaurant called 'Kingfisher Seafood Restaurant' at 805 S. Mobile Street, where Wintzell's once operated for many years.

Tyler Hood, one of the owners of the 'Chimes' chain of restaurants in Louisiana, purchased the property in 2021 -- but then had to deal with lingering Covid19 pandemic issues before renovations could begin last year.

Saving two, big live oak trees was a priority; special precautions were taken installing the new deck in front. 

General Manager Megan Aucoin says it will be casual/family type dining with other than seafood offered (wings, sandwiches, etc.); 54 taps for wine and beer are being installed too, she said.

No specific opening date has been set yet.

Hope they can service food quicker than they can remodel

Looks like a great addition to Fairhope and a big thanks to the owners for investing here. Walcott Adams (I believe?) was the Architects for the redesign and it appears that a lot of money has been put in to bringing the building up to Fairhope code standards so I’m sure this will be a first class venue. I like the seafood option but also like the casual option with wings, etc. Also, their other 3 restaurants in Louisiana are well liked so this should be good.
