Hadn't been to The Grey in awhile as we had felt like it had lost its way a bit in the last year or so. But we decided to give it another try and so happy that The Grey is back and in top form. Had dinner there this week and the service by Joel and others was top notch and the food was creative and delicious. Started with the hoe cakes and caviar - simple but so tasty. Tried the pot licker scallops which were just great, the fried squash which had a delicious habanero syrup (so good) and the roasted oysters which were seasoned perfectly. We split the lamb roti and it was fantastic -flaky homemade roti, smoky vegetables and perfectly cooked lamb chops and shoulder. Finished with the buttermilk chess pie which was amazing. Great experience from start to finish.

Wonderful service and ambiance. I thought the food was incredibly pedestrian, however. Salt forward without any other flavor components. Biscuits had a bread like composition and weren’t flaky, were served cold and with cold butter. Not sure how they failed to anticipate impeding the spread.

We finally got a table on our 4th visit to Savannah in 2 years. It’s now my favorite spot — the beautiful Art Deco restoration of a blacks-only bus terminal, the creative and well executed food, and the opinionated artistic touches.

I was one of a party of 3 for brunch. We each ordered a different dish and each was an awesome flavor experience. The patty melt, fried chicken, and duck pastrami were unexpectedly explosive flavor experience. I never thought I would love duck pastrami but it is a new favorite of mine and I will be ordering it the next visit I have to The Grey in Savannah. The bread that encapsulated the beef of the patty melt was indescribable (IMHO). The fried chicken was hot, juicy and flavorful. Every bite of the chicken breast was as flavorful as the first. The syrup that came with the hoe cakes brought back childhood memories of Alaga syrup and biscuits. Great service, friendly and attentive throughout our entire stay. I look forward to having dinner there on my next visit. Also, there was live music that made the experience that more enjoyable.

All good to tonight. Food and service (from Ryan) were both EXCEPTIONAL! One disappointing note was to be denied an open small corner table because it is only available for threesomes. So we were seated at a small two top in the middle of the restaurant's walking asides. We understood. So, very surprising and disappointing to see that corner was given (within 10 minutes) to a 2 person reservation. When you make a reservation months in advance and spend $300, consistency and honesty are expected from the first interaction. Every other aspect of The Grey proved to fulfill high expectations. Make a reservation and enjoy the food and service experience.

Highly recommend!! After reading about this place, and the prices, we came in with very high expectations and walked out very satisfied. A wonderful server Katherine kept things light and happy and engaged. Both her and our bartender were so knowledgeable and engaging about what we were eating and drinking. Unfortunately, I can’t remember exactly what we ate on the $85 dinner menu (a couple of months ago!) but I know it was fantastic. The Parker rolls outstanding. Never had them before and now I’ll have to be chained to a fire hydrant outside so I don’t keep running back in and eating more. Cocktails were perfect and the selection was wonderful. Just a really great, great dinner. Thank you! Our best memory among many from this wonderful city.
We came with a large group and they did their best to accommodate. I enjoyed the food and we were taken care of well.

Our time at The Grey is amazing. Before coming here we watched the Chefs Table episode and I excitedly read the book. My wife was equally excited. Mashama’s food comes through as advertised. Uniquely southern but with a modern take. The atmosphere is romantic, nostalgic, and evocative. We had oysters to start that were magnificent - perfectly shocked and a mix of local, semi local, and from Massachusetts. Our middles we ordered the Cornbread Dressing and the Fired Squash. Dressing was perfectly balanced. Squash was great but lacked a little balance. Should have been WAY more habanero syrup. I feel that dish should have been sweet with cheese and squash. The breading over powered everything. We asked for more syrup and ended up LOVING the dish. For our main we got the Lamb. To say this was the best dish of the night would be an understatement. This was the best lamb dish I have ever had. One of the best protein dishes I have ever had dining out in general. Truly unforgettable. For dessert the Sweet Potato Olive Oil Cake was satisfying and a great finish. They also brought us a Chess Pie that I liked even better. Salty and butterscotch-ey. Wonderful.
What really sealed the night was the service. Ryan was incredible and so fun to spend our time with. He was welcoming, professional, jovial, and so so helpful. We can’t wait to come back again.

I just really love this place. I've been going for over ten years. The building is stunning, they always have the most talented staff, the food and drinks are just the best you can get, period.
