Wish I knew it was 2 floors. I had my 80+ year old grandparents with me and we didn’t realize we have to dine upstairs. Other than that it was a great experience. Our waitress was fantastic

This restaurant was my favorite in Savannah- the food was excellent and a good value. The service was efficient and friendly and the ambiance was wonderful. I highly recommend. Plus it is located across the street from the Owen’s-Thomas House which should not be missed. Parking in the street was fairly easy also. Make a reservation and visit this historic restaurant and Inn.

We happened to be in Savannah for my wife’s 50th birthday and ended up here. We were a little early for our reservation and had a drink at the bar while we waited for our table. We started our meal with a couple shareable starters and then decided on a main entree. All of the dishes we had were wonderful. There was plenty of food and I felt like the portion size was perfect. We will definitely eat here the next time we are in town.

Our third time visiting this restaurant. It had always been been good so we returned for my wife’s birthday. This time it exceeded all my expectations, the food, the service, the atmosphere. It’s pricey but, if you see the value, it’s still worth it.

Epic Christmas Eve dinner. We decided to go with the chefs tasting menu and wine pairing and I’m so glad we put our trust in the chef and kitchen. The gnocchi was light and delicious. The octopus was a favorite at our table as well. Every wine was a perfect complement. By far, the best thing about the experience was the service. Our server Kalona was a delight. Really personable, kept us well informed about the food and wine. She even wrote down the name of the wines we enjoyed the most. This will likely be a new tradition for Christmas Eve.
