- DDavidVIPDetroit / Eastern Michigan •51 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoGreat evening! We had stopped in during the soft opening to test some appetizers and have some wine, and was very happy that now two months later for this visit, that the food, vibe, etc., had remained the same. Emily was our server that first night, and was outstanding, as was Austin from last night. The octopus app is very creative, with the protein cut in pieces, and seared, as opposed to one big tentacle placed on a plate. The grilled cauliflower was a hit. For entrees, the branzino was spot on for taste and presentation, as well as the wagyu coulette, and the pork chop. My recommendation for the pork chop, however, is to REQUIRE that the apple butter spread used for the scallop dish be a permanent resident on the side for future servings. Caramel bread pudding for dessert was a nice, gooey mix. Will definitely return to try the other entrees!More infoRudy's Prime SteakhousePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Clarkston•4.8
- CChrisVIPPhiladelphia County •17 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe 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.More infoSavannahBluePrice: Expensive• Contemporary Southern• Detroit•4.6
