The food and service were outstanding. Absolutely sublime. The fries served with the bison were the most perfectly prepared, piping hot, perfectly crispy and flavorful fries I've ever had.

We were seated early, had a wonderful server in Bobby, and the food was great as usual. The scored flounder could have used a little more sauce but everyone enjoyed their meal.

Always a pleasure eating here: farm-to-table gourmet meals. Superb staff. Pleasant atmosphere, a sanctuary for diners who eschew Savannah's more famous "tourist restaurants."
