    Grit bowl!!!
    Leonor C.

    Delicious food!! The best grit bowl ever!! Thanks to the chef!! You must try this !!

    Out uneaten non-cheesy eggs and super tough sausage.

    We went as a group of 5. My daughter, husband, and I ordered the "Wake Up Breakfast". My daughter and I ordered our eggs scrambled with cheese. When ours came we tried the eggs and noticed there was no cheese. When the "server" finally checked on us I informed her there was no cheese in our eggs. She replied she could check with the cook. She came back and told us he said he put cheese. Then said "he makes these all the time so there is no way he forgot". The sausage was tough, none of us ate it or the eggs. Drink options are limited so we got water. We had small plastic cups to fill out of a drink dispenser. I will not go back. Overpriced and overrated.

    We popped in for breakfast one morning while on a weekend getaway and we had an excellent breakfast! We shared the egg sandwich and it was loaded with huge mushrooms, sausage, bacon, and two eggs! The eggs were cooked perfect and the mushrooms were amazing on the sandwich. The baguette was super soft and tasted so fresh! I enjoyed a Prosecco along side my latte! They have a few tables inside and outside, after ordering you choose your own seat. Highly recommend!

    After the farmers market, we went to Alexander's for a quick bite to eat. It was delicious. The staff was helpful and the prices were reasonable.

    Slow Start Scramble
    Mark S.

    We are visiting from out of town and wanted to try this place. The service was good. They were accommodating on changes to the Grit bowl (removing the bacon). The open ceiling concept and faux-wood tile floors make for a very loud environment. The service was fast and everyone was friendly. I had the Slow Start breakfast. It was great. The scallions and shallots really added a different dimension to the dish. I'd give it 5/5 My wife had the Grits bowl. She said it was bland lacking seasoning. The diced tomatoes on top were oily and bitter and that detracted from the taste. She gave it a 3/5 The specials board has a lot of interesting offerings, so we will be back.

    Sausage roll, $6 and Quiche $6

    Don't have an order window for customers with dogs if you're going to ignore them. See my prior review as the manager or owner touted this perk on a prior visit. I waited for 11 minutes, and watched through the window, customer inside being waited on after I arrived. Finally, I spoke to a male waiter that was delivering food to an outside table, and he took my order. Eliminate this service window if you're not going to wait on a dog lover.

    Baloo Berry Muffin

    My friend's and I are on an "Alphabet Adventure" of Savannah's food scene. So, we started here on Sunday morning to check off the letter "A". We were super excited about this place after reading the reviews, but felt our experience was pretty average. Drinks: For obvious reasons, we first ordered the coffee sampler flight. However, we were informed they no longer offer this super cool option (it's still on the menu so, FYI!). So, my two gals friends settled for a lemon meringue latte & white chocolate mocha - the former is a MUST, so good. Food: I had the Full Breakfast - very basic IMO, so wish I would have branched out. One friend ordered Shrimp & Grits and it didn't settle great for her. The other ordered the Slow Start Scramble and she seemed pleased. We all shared the Baloo Berry Muffin, which was very sharable & tasty, but thought it could use some cinnamon crumbles on top. I would def be interested in coming back to try lunch or a coffee myself, as other menu items look good. Not sure I'd go out of my way to try again, but it's in a good location near Forsyth, so could find me here giving another try on my next visit to the Park.

    A cute little corner bistro, good variety of brunch options. Friendly staff. Food was decent for the price. Coffee was flavorful. Not an over expensive spot. ^However I'm rating this as average 3/5 for the worker that decided to touch my newborn without asking. Made me feel some type of way.

    Alexander's is a bistro that you should visit. I'm glad that I did! Between the great food, service, and location I only have love for this new cafe and restaurant. It is conveniently located one block away from Forsyth Park. So it is a quick stroll if you are in the area. It is right at the corner of Bull Street and Duffy Street. You can park on the surrounding streets for free. Local 11 Ten is across the street if you need a building to look for. They offer seating indoors and outdoors. From the outside the bistro looks small. But once you step inside, wow so much space! There are multiple tables, banquets, and a small bar dining area too. I love the large windows and art on the walls. The counter where you order is to your right when you walk in. There is a digital menu up on wall. But they also have paper menus as well. And large menus directly printed on the wall in front of the registers. They serve breakfast, brunch, lunch, and small bites to eat. For drink options there are coffees, teas, beers, and wines. We enjoyed breakfast on Saturday morning with the following: slow start scramble for each of us, a side of fresh fruit, dirty chai latte, & the Elizabeth latte. The slow start scramble was delicious! And beautiful to look at too. It is scrambled eggs, white cheddar, shallots, bacon, and scallions, on a brioche bun. I got mine without cheese. It is a lot of food. I was only able to eat one half of my bun. The one item I would not suggest is the fresh fruit. It was certainly not all fresh. We each enjoyed our coffee beverages. They came in clear mugs. These are my favorite! And gorgeous with an edible flower too! The service was excellent. Everyone was friendly. We had questions since it was our first time in the bistro. Our questions were answered promptly and politely. All of our food and beverages were brought to us in a timely manner with a smile. We were thanked at the register for coming in. And when we were leaving we were thanked as well. This new bistro should be added to your must visit list!

    Wake-Up Breakfast

    The service was amazing, the cook greeted us as we entered, and the food came out quick and HOT. The vibes were great, and the space was clean! I hope it was just a slow morning for them, but there weren't many customers, despite the GREAT food.

    Breakfast Burrito

    Good vibes, good food. This bistro does not disappoint, staff was extremely warm, welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu.

    An Absolute Must-Visit in Savannah!…read more Our group of food-loving travelers had one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time at Common Thread. From the moment we sat down until the last bite, every course exceeded our expectations. We started with the oysters, which were incredibly fresh and perfectly prepared. The shaved beef was an absolute standout--one of those dishes you can't stop talking about long after the meal. The yellowfin tuna was pristine, buttery, and beautifully balanced. The salads were anything but ordinary. Both the watermelon salad and the tomato salad were bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors that showcased just how incredible simple ingredients can be when they're done right. For the entrées, the gnocchi was delicious, but the real stars were the New York strip and the roasted potatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly, and those potatoes may have been the best we've ever had. The red snapper was light, flaky, and had just the right amount of spice to elevate every bite. Richard's Chicken was unbelievably tender, juicy, and literally melted in your mouth. What truly elevated the evening was our server, Lindsey. She was warm, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely made us feel like welcomed guests. She even took the time to recommend local attractions and things to do around Savannah, making our entire trip better. If Yelp allowed it, she'd get 10 out of 5 stars. Exceptional food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable experience. Common Thread has earned a place among the very best restaurants we've ever visited. We can't wait to come back the next time we're in Savannah.

    First, the house is charming and the staff were all really great and attentive. They also have a…read morelift for folks who have trouble with steps or are in a wheelchair. So, that felt terrific, given their attention to making the space handicap accessible. I would only return for that specific reason - not for the food. We were there for a birthday, so we got the tasting menu and was told that it was served family style. We were 3 people, but for each course they brought out 2 plates of food (except for a single plate for the salad course). So, it felt weird sharing the dishes, like you didn't just get half and then to take 1/3 of 2 plates is also peculiar. Why not serve each course genuinely family style on a larger dish? For example, I usually tried 1/2 of each plate, but then there were some leftovers. And, one of the courses (the salad) came only on one tiny plate, and there was only one piece of the peach. So, there was no way to split that at all. They also brought us all new empty dishes and silverware after every course. It would have been easier to just give us each our own portion on our own plates. I kept thinking about all the dishes that they would need to wash, and it felt so wasteful. In fact, we had to ask for serving spoons, as they didn't offer that with the family style either. And honestly, the best course was the fried potatoes. They also brought us each one tiny tator tot with fancy sauce which was good. But, so tiny that it wasn't enough. The worst course was the tri tip meat. It had been cooked very rare which I like. But, it was so chewy that I found myself having to chew and chew and ... well, I couldn't eat. None of us liked that course, and it felt like a shame to leave it behind. I researched tri tip, and it seems that it needs to be cut in a certain way. The dessert was also really good. But overall, I was disappointed. Some places feel too fancy, and they forget that people are there to actually eat something rather than be confused by trying to guess what they are eating. For example, the delicious tator tot had a smoked oyster mayo sauce. But, the quantity of the sauce was so sparse, I didn't notice the oyster flavor at all. I suppose that my review may be heavy handed. I do appreciate that they provide farm to table, but they didn't take the time to profile that either.

The greeting from our arrival to seating was prompt and very courteous. We got suggestions from the wait staff and started our experience. They have an extensive cocktail and wine list. We started with a drink called Southern Hospitality and their branded Old Fashioned. Both drinks were exceptional. We accompanied that with Grilled Octopus, which was sensational. Very hard not to make it chewy. Great char and sauce that accompanied it. For entrees, we did the Perloo, an amazing interpretation, and a swordfish. Both dishes were immaculately prepared and perfectly sized. We chose a bottle of Loss and Lehn, something we had never tried before but recommended based on what we had ordered. It matched perfectly with both dishes. We also choose items from the pick 3 menu to accompany our entrees. We finished with the best bread Pudding we have ever had nd french press coffee. The price was very reasonable considering the quality and the service, and should not be missed next time you are in Savanah.

First it was tempura. YAY! Most are cornmeal and the texture is weird. These were so good. It came with a pimento cheese topper. It was my first time having pimento cheese and I loved it! I had the grilled apple pie chicken sandwich. I was a little worried it would be super sweet but it was not. It was perfectly balanced. My husband had the Treylor Park Pot Pie.

We were sat in what I believe used to be a front parlour, by a window over looking the street. We had a dual service with one person being the "main" server, his name was Michael. He was in charge of giving us the spiel and answering our questions. A woman (I forget her name, sorry! But she was lovely) was in charge of running the food and clearing the plates. It was a very well run machine. The menu is pre set, but there were choices on some of the courses, like course where an option was a soft shelled crab - I definitely wanted to take advantage of that! We started off with Biscuits with butter and homemade orange marmalade, these were delightful, so fluffy and soft, and the marmalade was sweet, not bitter like it sometimes can be. The Amuse bouche was a trio of tiny items: a pimento cheese tart, a mussel with chipotle sauce and panko, and a square of salmon with mild wasabi and ginger. The salmon was definitely my favorite. The fifth course had a special as I noted before, so I opted to go for that, it was a soft shell crab with garlic, herbs and a vidalia onion slaw. Topped with peanuts and a white wine sauce. I think my favorite course of them all was the scallops with the carrots and the whipped ricotta - so simple but so delicious! Phenomenal special occasion place or just to cross off your bucket list. If I am in Savannah again (and the likelihood is high, its such an amazing city), I will be back.
