“Honestly and pleasantly surprised by Fleeting. Started at the bar with a cocktail where the service was great. In the restaurant the two of us shared several small plates, sides, and a new entree they had on the menu. The roasted beets and crispy brussels were fantastic but the star was the beef tartare. Great wine selection. Semi-laid back vibe. Our server, Maria, was perfect in every way. Couldn’t have asked for a better dinner out.“

“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!“

“We stopped in on a busy night and our group of 8 got seated quickly. The menu had various items and something for everyone. The service was awesome, our waiter was so friendly and took our picture when we asked him. We received our food in a timely matter, we stopped in with a recommendation from a worker at a local hotel and so glad we did. Everyone was happy with their food and service. What a great, friendly experience. On our way out the manager was so friendly he was kind enough to take a picture of all of us again outside. I definitely would recommend this place and would go back when I visit Savannah again. Keep up the great work!“
