   The service was pretty slow. After the long wait, our food was cold.

   So much potential. Very cute bistro on a quiet street downtown. Menu looked great, nothing complicated, but appealing. Unfortunately, the execution of the recipes was way off. Both of us got the cod/rice dinner. Bland, swimming in too much sauce, cod was totally unseasoned and literally like rubber, and wouldn't even cut with a knife. Very disappointing. One of the owners brought us a replacement, but it was no better. Little things missing - no salt/pepper on the tables, waitress asked us if we needed flatware (?), the place didn't look clean, no ice in the iced tea. All drink and food was room temp. The redeeming elements included the lovely owner (apologetic and gave me a complimentary cupcake) and the delicious desserts (which they outsource from a local bakery). Not willing to try again, not with the other countless restaurants to try here in Savannah.

   Surprised and disappointed. We had high expectations for Wright Square Bistro but were disappointed in all three categories of dining out: quality of the food, quality of the service, and value for the dollars you spend. Quality of the food: The salads we ordered were very good. The beet salad was fresh with ample slices of beets. The side garden salad, that came as part of the entree, was equally as tasty. However, the main course, a spring cod fillet on a bed of saffron rice, was served cold. We asked the server if the dish was supposed to be cold to which he replied, "I do not know." He got the gentleman whom we assumed was the Manager (but who never introduced himself). This fellow mumbled that the dish was not served cold and left with our plates. Fresh entrees were served 10-minutres or so later by the kitchen staff (?). We never saw or heard anything from the manager again; not a follow-up, not a "how is the dish now," not an apology. The replaced spring cold was very good (even though the saffron rice was still, at best, warm). Quality of service: Let's hope that this was our servers first day and he had not been properly trained or oriented to the menu. He did little and knew just as much. Value: Prices were not outrageous. Portions were fair. Bottom line: Would I go to Wright Square Bistro again? Probably not. Would I recommend it to others? If they clean up their act, probably.

   I am one of the owners and you were not given the kind of experience I expect. Last night marked the debut (and the demise) of the cod dish. What happened between our tasting it and it being served, I do not completely know, but it took a left turn. I came over took the plates away and said we would remake the dishes. You did not see me again as I was dealing with the kitchen getting your dishes remade properly, so I sent my co-owner. This is where things get muddled, but in this case, the customer is correct. I own the poor experience you received and sincerely apologize. And I want to thank you for not leaving a one star review, which is what I would have done. Consider trying us one more time. There is a bottle of wine from us waiting for you. Just ask for me. Michael Higgins Co-owner

   Get reservations (some empty tables but needed more help)! Small but nice menu for lunch and breakfast. Quiche was OK - crust not the best. Croissants are from a local bakery and make for an incredible sandwich! (I had egg salad and it was nicely made). Side salads were really nice. Bellinis were just OK (not white peach puree but a peach flavored ice cube of sorts!) I woukd go back again for sure!

   Charming bistro with fresh and delicious. My daughter and I shared the deviled eggs which were served on a vintage dish. My husband has the Caesar salad with chicken, which he said was very good. My daughter had the tuna salad on a croissant and homemade potato chips. I had the beet salad. We shared a piece of the spice cake with cream cheese frosting. Everything was so delicious and the servings were generous. The downside was the service was very slow, lunch took nearly an hour and a half. We would consider returning, but would definitely order drinks and all food at the same time

   Friendly wait staff and great food! We were treated like family. Beautiful, fresh flowers add a special touch to the tables. Truly a gem here in Savannah.
