    Swordfish
    Claudia L.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Had a wonderful meal with a large group here and excellent service in this old fashioned, dark tavern.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was exceptional and took very good care of us considering we were 15 people! There was no issue when we wanted to split the checks and our parties were spread across the larger group which I very much appreciated. I had the fried green tomatoes, which were good, but I've had better elsewhere. The stand out was the special fish for the day - the swordfish - which I had blackened & with sweet potato fries - delicious! The fish was cooked perfectly. I also had a white wine spritzer that was refreshing on a very hot day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside looks like an old tavern, and it was a really great place to spend a meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went midweek for lunch and it wasn't very crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices are reflective of the Riverwalk area, which is very touristy & cute! You do have to walk down steps and across some cobblestone to get to the restaurant which is right on the corner. This was a little hard for some of the older participants in our group but worth it for the location and food.

    Chef Philip sold the place over a year ago. The quality is still good but the bread is different and it doesn't have the same family owned vibe it did when chef Philip manned the kitchen every night.

    Pecan pie.. warm

    Food was awesome!!! Had the Boar Head burger and crab cake with fries!! Best french fries in town.. crab cake had a great crunch to the outside and very flavorful!! The bacon on the burger had smoked flavor.. peach sangria was my favorite of all time. Chris was our server and he was great!!! He was quick and attentive l, true delight!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant was very clean and restrooms were clean as well!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely be back our next trip!!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Boars Head is right on the river, in a good location. You can't miss it, it is just across the street from the trolly stop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came in for a late lunch and had most of the restaurant to myself. To start off, my waiter, I believe his name was Kevin, was FANTASTIC. 5 stars for him. He was friendly, a bit silly, and made sure I was taken care of. I ordered Chef Philip's Crab Cake sandwich. And it was...disappointing. The crab cake was bland, it was also about a half inch wider than the piece of french bread it was on, and the whole thing just kind of came apart. The remoulade was tasty and added some zip, but you aren't paying $20 for a lettuce tomato and remoulade sandwich. The fries were tasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is an old stone building and has a great view of the river.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was told by a local that Boars Head can be hit or miss, but when they hit, it is out of the park. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. But if you are going to put your name on a dish, it should be a hit.

    Stuffed Shrimp

    Second time visiting within two years and still impressed! Wonderful service and such an inviting historic ambiance right on the Savannah River. Enjoyed the bouillabaisse and the shrimp-stuffed crab pasta. So rich in flavor and generous portions. Prices are appropriate for the quality of food you are receiving. My favorite dining experience in Savannah!

    Came here for the first time with my husband on a Saturday night. We had a reservation so I had no problem getting seated pretty quickly. Our server came over within a few minutes and got us started off with some drinks. For our entrée, my husband, and I both did the ribeye and crabcake entrée with a baked potato. I switched out my asparagus for the cheesy grits. The food came out really fast and was absolutely delicious! The cheesy grits were some of the best I've ever had! Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is located right on river street. You have to walk up a small little hill to get to the entrance as it's on a second floor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can make reservations but it wasn't necessary on our visit. There were plenty of tables available and we were seated immediately. We started with the hummus (6 out 10) and she crab soup. (8 out 10). Hummus had a weird tomato glaze, peppers and jelly on top? Not our thing. I would ask for that to be removed or on the side next time. Toasted bread had butter on it. A little greasy but tasty. The crab soup was probably some of the best soup I've ever had. I dream about going back and getting more! I thought it would be too rich and creamy but it was actually more like a stew. So flavorful. Entrees we got the shrimp and grits (9/10) and the blackened fish sandwich (8/10). The catch of the day was swordfish and that was served in the blackened fish as the fish option. The fish sandwich could use a better bun, it's a little dry. Shrimp and grits were incredible and had pieces of sausage in there too. Highly recommend. Staff was friendly prices were reasonable. We would come again

    Went here for my birthday it was amazing the drinks were great the service was wonderful and the food was even better most places on River st I avoid not here just can't say enough positive about this place

    Really good old fashioned
    Scott V.

    We ate here several years ago so decided to stop in and grab a bite this trip. Drinks were really good, oysters were great and both entrees were really good but could have used a little more seasoning. Enjoyed our visit, wait staff were really good and friendly.

    Grilled Salmon Filet, perfect

    What an experience. The atmosphere was great. Better than great. The sever Aaron had a perfect…read morepersonality and delivery for the menu items. Can say enough, I fully recommend the experience. Drinks were a 10/10. We got the "Fourgasm" which was a cheese cake with sugared berries, carrot cake with figs/dates and nutmeg, a chocolate cake which was next level and a devils food cake. The carrot cake was okay not great, the devils food was so so but the chocolate cake with the Berry Naughty with a dark chocolate rim job. That made that cake wow! So, desserts were part of the experience and feeding one another along with the atmosphere, great spot!

Loved the dark atmosphere and romantic vibes- we only wished we had known about the Friday/Saturday night performances that are offered, so we could've planned better (maybe next time). My hubby ordered the dessert sampler... truthfully, only really would order the cheesecake and chocolate cake- the other two samples were odd tasting (but every palate is different)- just would not order it again. I do think a nice gesture of having a free dessert, being it was our anniversary, would've been nice (just a future suggestion). Street parking available and a game bar is next door, if wanting more fun entertainment after dessert!
