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!

I was very disappointed to the extent that I asked my meal to be taken off the bill. I am lactose intolerant. There was absolutely nothing for me to eat on the menu except for red snapper. The red snapper came out over salted. It was served with beans that were all but inedible. This restaurant does not plan for somebody with a lactose intolerance. I do not know how this restaurant could be a James Beard award winner.

The starter was disappointing, the leek vinaigrette was over cooked extremely chewy , the waiter was extremely helpful thoe Thanks Kevin .

Retro Elegance - Greyhound bus station, now a restaurant, retains some of the retro charm of mid-twentieth century bus stations (before air travel was common). It’s a fixed menu with options within the 3 categories. Food quality and quantity is very good for the $75 price tag. Service was very good.

A group of five of us made reservations here based on all the glowing reviews. We were so disappointed by our experience. The restaurant is decorated beautifully, and it’s a super unique concept and atmosphere. However, the service and the quality of the food is not at all what I expect from fine dining.
It took almost ten minutes for our server to appear after we were seated. Then it took almost half an hour for our drinks from the bar to arrive. Another thirty minutes before our first course. The salad was good, the pumpkin soup was excellent, but cold. The frito misto was bland and the texture was off. Entrees were appropriately timed, but incredibly salty to the point that we didn’t finish them. After being seated for over two hours, our third course was no where in sight. We asked for it to be removed from our bill and to just receive our check.
Besides those issues, the service was atrocious. We barely saw our server. When we asked the person who delivered our food for silverware for the table he said “I’m not your server” and left. When we escalated complaints to the manager, he was entirely unhelpful and unapologetic.
I am not hard to impress. For >$100 a person, I do expect a certain level of service and quality that just was not there.

Don’t think about it just go and book this place. It.is.incredible. By far one of my top lists of best food
The staffs were nice and welcoming, but we had to wait 1.5 hours for food after ordering. The portions are tiny, and value for money is not that great.

Dined here on 9/28/24. Sadly I had high hopes for this place and the reviews make you think otherwise. The service was okay and the decor beautiful but the food...... I was VERY disappointed.
Not too mention the portions EXTREMELY SMALL and the price absurd, but food was literally (I mean literally) flavorless. I was shocked and appalled at such a lauded restaurant that's still delivering beautifully plated culinary trash.
The worst sweetbreads I've ever had. Appetizers and mains came out at the same time. Oysters came out late and the fish was all bone, zero flesh.
We were visiting Savannah with family and I read a lot about The Grey so I made a reservation. We were really excited to go and it was going to be our last meal of our stay.
Overall esthetic: amazing, the place is cozy and very beautiful and intimate. The bar looked very nice as well. Perfect for a romantic dinner. A lot of people around us were celebrating their anniversary. The down side is the three tables they have in the “hallway” I would call it. It’s right in front of the kitchen so I guess that could be interesting but it’s bright in this area and anyone who enters the restaurant comes past you. You also see none of the beautiful dining room and completely don’t get the intimate vibe of the place and it was all a big let down to be sat there.
Service: amazing. Great people who know the menu really well.
Food: I was really disappointed. The tasting menu (which just switched over to the new menu two days ago) is $75 per person for an appetizer, main and dessert so not that cheap and I did expect it to be a bit more elevated. I had the Fritto Misto which was fried veg (okra and sweet potatoes) and smoked oysters. Overall good and very filling but very salty. Husband had the charred beets and those tasted fine. For the main we both had the dayboat catch (I had mine sans bacon) but it was also really salty and the fish didn’t have much of any other flavor. The rice middlins that it came with, also salty. Overarching theme here. Underwhelming. Parents had hanger steak and pork shoulder and said it was good. For dessert husband had chocolate parfait which was deemed like eating a snickers bar in mousse form. It was delicious and decadent. I had the carrot cake which I’m not a fan of but if I was I would say it was the best carrot cake I’ve ever tried. Cake was so light and fluffy and flavors were strong of spices and carrot. If it’s your jam, I would definitely recommend. The candied carrots on top were a fun touch. I was told the peach sorbet was good by the parents. Dessert was the best part.
Loved the idea of this place but overall a bit overhyped. Would have loved to actually sit in the dinning room and enjoy the ambiance, maybe it would have made up for the underwhelming menu.

Just amazing! Superbly executed dishes, balanced and complex flavors, and excellent overall experience. From the retro with a modern twist decor, to the great service from Gracie, to the decadent cocktails, this place deserves 10 stars! I would highly recommend!

A wonderful dining experience - my lamb chops were perfection and my husband's Country Captain was a cool spin on the traditional. Service was stellar, and the only reason atmosphere only got 4 out of 5 stars was that things were VERY loud!
