Loved the Sunday Brunch menu! Food portions were excellent and food was delicious! I would change one thing … the hard seats are difficult for older people. We had our 101 year old Priest with us and we should’ve brought a seat cushion. That’s the only thing that made this less than the perfect experience!

Might want to note it’s literally at the zoo… I was surprised. Not bad, not many people there, food wasn’t bad, not upscale, just normal food.

The food and service were excellent. I was not too sure about this place as it was our first time to dine there. The waiter seemed to function as the host, bartender, and server he was a busy guy. The chef served food as necessary. The wow! Was how perfect the food tasted and it was in every way excellent! We will look forward to dining at Savanna again in the few months.

We had the opportunity to experience a fun Valentines Day Dinner at Savanna. This is a very unique dining experience at the restaurant at a Zoo. They offered a full bar and full dining experience. The Valentine Day special was a shared steak meal for two for only $100.00. The add was a little deceiving as stated because it sounded like wine pairings were to be included, but they were not, however, they had a nice selection of wine and we were able to find a big bold red wine that paired great with the steak. The food was excellent. The meal included crab cakes, a salad, a nice 16 ounce steak and dessert (tiramisu). Since I preferred the cookie and ice cream, we were able to exchange the dessert option. The service was provided by one server and the manager/owner. Its a good thing the manager was there because the server certainly lacked personality, concern or manners for that matter, as she wouldn't clear the table when she brought new dishes out, but, the manager made up for her lack of attention. other than that, it was a great experience.

We were there for a Valentine day special. Dinner for 2 for $100. Food was ok, porterhouse steak was small, thin and tough. With drinks and tip it was almost $150. ! Not anything special about it! Won’t be going back!
