“We were in for Brunch on March 1st 2025. We had the most cheerful bar keeper before being seated. Lunch was great, highly recommend!“

“I had the best dining experience of my life so far at The Grey! The food was absolutely amazing. The people were so nice! If I didn't live 1000 miles away, I'd be here all the time! Can't wait to find a reason to be in Savannah again!“

“Great food, great variety, fried chicken was amazing! Family style.“

“Delicious food, beautiful restaurant, and fabulous, attentive staff! This restaurant is a definite jewel. I experienced a fabulous meal for one of their Thursday evening events. The "Cuban night" theme was so favorable at every course. Thank you for this memorable experience! Locals and visitors don't want to miss this culinary experience!“

“delicious breakfast this morning at Narobi's Grits and Gravy! The flavors were perfect, and everything was cooked to perfection. From the creamy, rich grits to the savory gravy, each bite was better than the last. I can’t even fully explain how satisfied I was with my meal – it was just that good. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a hearty and flavorful breakfast in Narobi!"“

“went here on a whim for my birthday and I was so delighted with my experience! It was not too busy with it being a monday night. Everyone on staff in the hotel as well as the restaurant staff was very helpful and had great service skills. We all left with a smile and good energy. We ordered appetizers, sides, and entrees to share as well as cocktails and wine and we thought the total was very affordable for all that we ordered. The fried chicken we got was honestly the BEST fried chicken any of us in my party has ever had in our entire life.. We kept talking about it for hours an after, even the next day we still talked about it. The food was all fresh and hot and plated wonderfully. Over all a great night and a great dining experience! So glad we stopped by!“

“The atmosphere is very dark and sexy located at the bottom of the Alida Hotel. The service was friendly, but sometimes could lack attention. But the food quality surpasses everything, and it is definitely worth a visit. The prices are not that high you would spend just as much money as going to a P.F. Chang's or a Cheesecake Factory. This was a little bit too salty for me but for the appetizer we got CRISPY CALAMARI BANANA PEPPERS, CALABRIAN CHILIS, PARSLEY, CILANTRO, ROSEMARY AIOLI. My main entree was the best burger I have ever had. It was the first time I could eat a burger without it sliding off the bun. From the bun to the sauce to the cheese and pickles everything was perfection. RHETT SMASH BURGER TWO BEEF PATTIES, AMERICAN CHEESE, RED ONION, PICKLES, NORFOLK SAUCE, OLD BAY FRIES. And dessert was just okay for me to much cream not enough banana. BANANA PUDDING WAFERS, VANILLA PUDDING, CREAM“

“My friend and I had breakfast at St. Neo’s Brasserie while visiting Savannah, and it was such a lovely experience. The food was fresh, delicious, and the perfect start to our morning.

What really stood out was the service—our server, Sam, was absolutely wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. Her warm personality and genuine care turned a simple breakfast into one of the highlights of our trip.

We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Savannah!“

“The food is always fresh along with fast & friendly service.“

“This was our 1st time eating at Fleeting and I was celebrating my birthday. The food was excellent and impressed this long time foodie when I didn't have to add salt to the lamb. In 38 yrs of living in HHI and SAV area I've never had lambchops that were this flavorful and not coated in tons of Rosemary. Our server, Maria, is one of the friendliest, and most knowledgeable server I have seen in a long time. We would definitely ask for her on our next visit! Side note: If you like Steak Tartar, theirs is delectable and needed no additional seasoning as well. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed!“

“Fantastic food at a more than fair price and the service was right on point. Our server, Ania, was the best servicer encounter of our vacation week.“

“I was visiting from MS for work and found this spot on google. The food was amazing 🤩. We had the fried chicken, baked chicken, greens, yams, and bread. 🍞 The service was top notch. I’ll definitely be back on my next visit.“

“Loved our brunch during our visit to Savannah! Everything was delicious. Deviled egg appetizer was my favorite.“

“Stopped by and got a smashburger it was sooooo good and super fast! The jerk nachos are excellent too! Prices are super reasonable. I couldn't cook it for that price. Definitely going to be a new hotspot for me. They run specials too that sounded amazing. I was just looking for a quick bite but interested to keep a check on the specials.“

“The staff was nice they explained how to order and they gave really good recommendations and the food omg was out of this word“

“We live in Maryland. We stop here every year on the way to and home from Florida! We own a restaurant and know the difference between homemade and already prepared food. The food is definitely homemade and delicious!“

“Wow! We sat at the bar to enjoy the unlimited mimosas and they were so great. I got the crab cake benedicts....they ran out of fresh eggs was sad about that....the beet hollandaise was different but good, wished I asked for more. My husband had the steak and eggs. Steak was smoked and shredded apart...so yummy! We waited until the oysters were available...they were delicious! The atmosphere and staff here was so pleasant and peaceful. We weren't rushed away by the staff after sitting for 3 hours which was nice. My Husband and I enjoyed our date brunch! Definitely going to be our new brunch spot!“
