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.
