Rayza's opened in Daphne in June with a focus on sushi, steak and seafood. While you may be tempted to pop in, the restaurant is currently reservation-only, but from the reviews it is worth the wait. Chef-owner Riza has curated a menu that incorporates Southern staples like okra, pork belly and even a hamburger and gives it his own spin. The sushi menu offers classics like nigiri and sashimi and sushi rolls. Try the Daphne roll: yellowtail, green onion, spicy sauce, topped with tuna and wasabi aioli. It is also wise to check Rayza's Restaurant Facebook page to see what special dishes and cocktails are on offer for the evening. Visit rayzasrestaurant.com to make a reservation.

Sebastian's, a French American steakhouse, will soon open in Fairhope in the former Café 98 and TGI Fridays building on Fairhope Avenue. Café 98 closed earlier this summer, but owners Dana and David Jewett assured fans a new eatery was in the works. Everyone got a hint a few weeks ago when a new sign was hung on the building. According to Sebastian's Facebook page, they are getting closer to opening, and if the photo of coq au vin is any indication, Fairhope will have new culinary delights to explore.
