I chose this place to celebrate my wedding anniversary. We had a great time. My wife's filet mignon was a perfect medium rare and my fresh snapper tasted delicious. Extensive wine selection. Server was a little busy, but made sure we're taken care of. Very happy I chose this place. Make sure you get a reservation.

We had an amazing Valentine’s Day dinner at 45 Bistro! Our server, Sadie, was wonderful—so attentive and made the night feel extra special. The grilled Caesar salad was outstanding and so unique. The filet mignon was hands down the best steak we’ve had in a long time. The crab cakes and crème brûlée were both delicious. We will definitely be back!

Atmosphere was good. The waiter was snappy and judged our dinner choices. The entrees were good. One person in our party received raw chicken and this was very distasteful and left our party very disappointed. Happy to provide the photo upon request.

I’m really bummed to write this review because we were so excited to try a new place during our visit to Savannah. I booked reservations a few weeks in advance based on a recommendation from a local who said 45 Bistro had the best steaks. We were seated just a few minutes after our reservation time, and I want to point out that our server was awesome. After I told her about my gluten allergy due to celiac disease, she explained what substitutions she recommended with the filet I ordered and said she would flag it with the kitchen to watch for cross-contamination. My partner ordered the espresso ribeye with fingerling potatoes and asparagus. Unfortunately, my steak came out one stage away from being cremated, it was a hockey puck. The fingerling potatoes were burnt on the edges and raw on the inside. My partner’s steak was cooked perfectly; however, both the potatoes and asparagus were raw and not edible. When our server returned, she looked horrified by how overcooked my steak was and had them remake my meal. The second filet came out slightly better, but not by much. It was dry and tough, and I only ate two bites. The potatoes were still undercooked. By that point, we had been there for over an hour, and I had lost my appetite due to how let down I felt by the experience. They did take my meal off the check; however, it was still such a disappointment especially after recently surviving a major surgery and looking forward to our first big outing in my favorite city. I wish I had read the reviews instead of just taking one person’s recommendation, as it appears this has been an ongoing issue for at least a year. I also wish I could remember our waitress’s name, because she was the only positive part of our experience.

We held our wedding dinner and reception here at 45 Bistro, and it was the best decision we could have ever made!! The food tasted AMAZING and was a beautiful presentation, the servers and staff went above and beyond, and the ambiance was everything we could have dreamed of! From the moment I called to check availability and gather information to the day after the wedding, and all of the discussions planning in between, Jenn and all of the staff we worked with provided the absolute best customer service, also including Laura, who took care of all of the florals, and Chef Christian went not only above and beyond just for us, but also to accommodate our daughter’s anaphylactic dairy allergy. We received nothing but praise from all of our guests on the food and servers. THANK YOU to all of you, from the bottom of our hearts! We look forward to coming back, and hopefully for all of our anniversary dinners as well.
Dwayne is always awesome! Great bartender!!! Unfortunately Pedro is No longer there! Great manager

Food is just okay. Our waiter was attentive but the host never once cracked a smile from the time we were seated till we left. The restaurant is right on the Main Street so it being Halloween we had a front row seat to the celebrations. In my opinion the food is not worth the price.

I really wanted to give this a better rating — 45 Bistro is an excellent restaurant once you get in the door. We had an 8:00 PM reservation to celebrate a milestone birthday for my husband. We met some friends at the bar for a pre-dinner drink and I checked in with the host about 20 minutes beforehand. Unfortunately, our friends waited nearly 20 minutes just to get a drink at the bar, which didn’t feel very welcoming. Then came the real issue — we weren’t seated until 9:00 PM. You might ask, why wait an hour? Because it was a special occasion, and the restaurant came highly recommended. Once seated, our server was wonderful, and the food was excellent — truly no complaints there. That said, a few of the dishes and glassware were not completely clean — like they had skipped a run through the dishwasher — which was surprising for a place of this caliber. And before we even finished our entrées, we were asked to order dessert because the kitchen wanted to close. That felt rushed and disappointing after waiting so long to be seated. What really stung, though, was that no one ever apologized — not at the bar, not at the host stand, not even when we left. Sitting in a nearly empty dining room after all that waiting was not the evening we had planned. I’m sure not everyone has this experience, but the lack of attention to detail and the complete lack of acknowledgment for the inconvenience made what could have been a fantastic evening feel disheartening.

The restaurant atmosphere was very nice and charming. Service was terrible! One of our guests had to get up and find our food server as we were waiting for over 20 minutesfor her to come back to take our app order. Then food arrived. No one enjoyed their meals. Steaks over cooked, salmon overcooked and I had ciopiono. The lobster felt like rubber and could not even get it out of the shell. Other shell fish also overcooked. Sauce was good -too bad as this could have been a delicious meal but they don’t know how to cook protein properly. And service was terrible when restaurant wasn’t even at its busiest!
