Crystal was amazing .. It was me and my BESTFRIEND BIRTHDAY and she made us feel like we were out eating with family and it was only just us 2.. But she made it special!! Thank you CRYSTAL SO MUCH
First, the food was enjoyable and tasty. Many selections for different price points, and many familiar favorites. Was a bit surprised a table of four had a 20% automatic service charge. Would have been no problem if the service had not been short of desirable. Water regularly unfilled. One hour after being seated we received only our one shareable appetizer and drinks. Never received the eye-catching and included cornbread that all other tables received, even after we asked for it.
This was our first time in Detroit and we wasn't sure where to eat so we googled local restaurants and read the menu and reviews. SavannahBlue had great reviews and we liked the menu, so we went. What an awesome choice we made! The food was delicious, the place is quaint and beautifully decorated. The service was top notch. Our waitress was Stephanie and she was amazing! We would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are ever in the Detroit area!! My husband had the Lamb Chops and I had the Fish plate. They were both delicious!! A couple next to us had the Shrimp and Grits and the Chicken Plate and they said their meals were delicious also!
I've been wanting to visit Savanah Blue for too long and finally made it today! We asked from Detroit Opera House in a drizzle, totally worth it!! Absolutely delicious dinner with enough for leftovers! They provided cornbread muffins with honey that were delicious!! We both got fried chicken that came with collard greens with ham and candied yams better than I've ever had at any Thanksgiving!! Friend wanted black eyed peas we shared some of it with her taking that home too!!! We arrived about 5p and first table but, over an hour later the place was packed. This place is special and already look forward to going back to try the next item-unless it's time for more fried chicken!!!
The food and the service was great. We tried the black eyed pea hummus and it was delicious. I was a bit nervous because I don't usually venture too far and we'd never heard of hummus with black eye peas (we were use to chickpeas) needless to say we were pleasantly surprised. I then had the chicken, and the cookie skillet for desert all of which were delicious. This wasn't my first time at Savannah Blue and for sure won't be my last.
Everything was Amazing!! My family came in from Virginia Beach and we heard a lot about this place and they did not disappoint! The ambiance was amazing, or server was prompt and attentive and also engaging and funny. The food!! OMG the FOOD!! Catfish seasoned to the GAWDS!! The Lamb chops cooked and season to “The GAWDS”!! The drinks were good too! If I could give an extra star I would! ?
First time dining at Savannah Blue. From the moment we were greeted at the door, it was everything I expected it to be and more. My wife and I have heard nothing but great things and they did not disappoint. We went on a Tuesday evening so the crowd was light. Appetizers top tier and drinks were made to perfection. The only thing I have to say is the wait for our food was a little long for it to be a light crowd, but it was worth the wait. I was in good company and the ambiance was good. Overall amazing experience...those crab cakes are a must try. Worth the price for one so we ordered a second one. Keep up the great work Savannah Blue.
Our waitress was amazing! The menu is very limited. I suggest reviewing the menu prior to making reservations. The food was unremarkable. The shrimp and grits were very bad. There's a nice ambiance but we aren't likely to return.
Our experience was awesome from the hostess greeting at the door, to our server who was politer and engaging job well done. The food was amazing. My only complaint my wife wants to bring my mother in law, but she health would not allow for her to climb the stairs. Great beginning to an wonderful date night experience in Detroit.

The serving sizes are large. Most of the food is good. We ordered lamb chops. I like a rare lamb chop but it was raw in the center (as in cool and the consistency had not changed from raw meat) and then redone and still raw near the bone in some of the segments but much better. The sides are delicious.
Very Poor Customer service. My Husband and I were celebrating our Anniversary, so we began with an early dinner. We arrived at opening (4:05pm) and there was only one other couple at a table in the restaurant. I requested a table by the window and was told that was not possible and we were seated at a table close to the other party. While waiting for our Server to return with water, another couple was escorted into the dining area and seated by the window. My Husband and I were not happy that our request could not be accommodated so we left without ordering. We informed the Hostess why we were leaving and she stated we should have requested a table by the window when we made our online reservations! Where is that option on their website?
Food here is always great but I've never had good service. Not sure if the wait staff is understaffed but we always have to ask for things multiple times before it's received and sometimes it's never received. If you come just be prepared to wait a good amount of time before getting your food, but it will be tasty.
Gorged on bar snacks and appetizers. The crab dip and the curry shrimp were awesome. The wings were tasty but overcooked. And the cheese risotto is to die for. huge portion, so you don't need to order 2 if you're a couple. I am not in favor of the automatic, even for a 2top, of an 18% gratuity. Service was spotty after delivering the order, and never a question asked about whether we enjoyed the meal, had any problems etc.
We stopped in for a late dinner -my friend had the chicken dinner and that was good- my black eyed pea hummus tasted dry and old. The fried pita chips were nice and crispy which made it a little better.
