    Crab dip, Catfish, and Salmon were excellent. Our server Stephanie was kind, knowledgeable, and efficient. Thanks again for a wonderful Easter.

    We stopped by Savannah Blue for an early dinner and were among the first guests through the door. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food did not disappoint! We ordered a few shareable dishes—dry rubbed wings, catfish fritters, collard greens, and mac and cheese—and every single bite was packed with flavor. The cocktails were great too, and for two drinks plus food, our bill came to $100. The only downside was the automatic 19% gratuity, which we would’ve preferred to add ourselves. Still, the food and service were both excellent, and we’d definitely come back!

    It was not as good as last time a little disappointing.felt like we was being rushed we wasn’t even there for an hour .One dish came then the other the like 10 minutes later waitress was bringing carry out containers. What really bother me was I was charged $2 for sugar on the rim of my drink,I know inflation but that is ridiculous. I will let others have their own experience but I won’t be returning.I love to eat and I love trying restaurants and new meals but customer service is a big one for me .The $2 for sugar did it for me .

    The lady who served us was so incredibly sweet, fun and funny! She made some spot on recommendations the food was amazing but our party agreed the hummus and crab cake were the real stars.

    Every thing was incredible from the warm welcome to the ambiance to the service. The food and drinks were so much better than I could even imagine. Highly recommend the catfish fritters, the collard greens and the oxtail…all to share. Bravo!

    I've been to Savannah blue before and have never went through what I experienced. We had a reservation for 6:15pm We arrived at 6:10pm there was a complete line almost out the door. We stood on the stairs for over 30min some lady came out rude telling everyone "If you don't have an reservation we don't have any room" Now I understand was she was saying but the delivery was rude then we finally sat at the table we waited over 25mins for our food We had to take our food to go because Our event started at 8pm that's what I reserved for 6:15pm gives us an hour to eat The manger didn't take anything off our price but she dropped the lady tip which I felt she deserved a tip because clearly they was understaffed and the cook was horrible I'm not going back

    First timers. It was very busy tonight had to wait standing (no real waiting area) even with reservations. Thankfully we were seated with in 15 min. Staff very nice and food and drinks were great. Pack your patience because it could take a minute to get your food. We ordered a few appetizers. We will be back.
