We enjoyed an outstanding meal & experience at Savannah Blue. The oxtail, shrimp & grits, salmon/shrimp jambalaya, were mouthwatering. The portions are generous & every bite was delicious. The sweet potato cheese cake perfectly finished the meal. The service was exceptional. The pacing of the food was just right. We look forward to our next visit.

Beautiful old building is worth the trip, particularly right next to Michigan Central which is lit up festively for the season, but the food was great too - we got fried cheese, pretzel and dip, and tri-dip apps and it was before 6 so we got happy hour prices. All of them were excellent. Entrees included fish n chips, salads, and pasta and we all joined the clean plate club with them. Would definitely recommend if visiting the train station or Senate Theater.
