    Swordfish
    Claudia L.

    Had a wonderful meal with a large group here and excellent service in this old fashioned, dark tavern. 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. The inside looks like an old tavern, and it was a really great place to spend a meal. We went midweek for lunch and it wasn't very crowded. 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!! Restaurant was very clean and restrooms were clean as well!! Will definitely be back our next trip!!

    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. 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. It is an old stone building and has a great view of the river. 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.

    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.

    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. 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
    Alice J.

    First time visiting and the location was perfect, the style was spot on. I love the basement feel. Our sever explained all the highlights and what was out and what in. The food itself was very tasteful, I really cleaned my plate. The only thing that was a deterrent was the water glass that had lipstick stains all around the glass, we didn't notice it until after our meal ,getting ready to drink from it. But I will definitely try this place again.

During my visit, we…read morepopped in here for an early dinner and, even without a reservation, we got seated fairly quickly. So, that was already a great sign - considering the restuarnt was quite busy. We opted to sit outdoors to enjoy the lovely weather, and as soon as we were seated, we were greeted by our server, and it was smooth sailing. Our drinks and food arrived quickly, and everything was pretty tasty. The restaurant has ample seating throughout, ranging from indoor to outdoor and rooftop seating. It has a modern feel to it, with nautical decor to play on the Oyster Bar it is known for. The staff are super chipper (or so they were that day we arrived). And the overall service was pretty quick in my opinion, even during the start of their dinner rush. So, overall, I was already pretty impressed. For the food, we decided to share the Pomegranate Ceviche, which included their market fish, pomegranate, pickled green tomatoes, shallots, serrano peppers, and okra hot sauce. It was served with fried wontons as a chip substitute, and WOW, oh WOW! I had never had fried wontons used as chips before, and it was absolutely delightful. For our entree, we also shared the Seared Red Snapper (which included sweet & sour bell pepper escovitch, spinach, and yellow rice), and it was YUM!! I don't remember the exact drink I ordered, but it was also very tasty. Overall, the first-time experience was quite delightful. I would definitely visit Sorry Charlie's again! I'd also like to try their Brunch out as I heard it was also a vibe / great experience.

One of us ordered the ceviche and she said there was no flavor in it whatsoever and didn't eat more than a few bites. The Mac and cheese was delicious, I could've eaten a larger size but the side size was definitely a healthy portion. The oysters were the stars of the show for the rest of my party as they are all fresh. One person ordered a po boy to go and it came out on a plate so we asked for a to go container and it took two to fit the sandwich and fries. We asked if they had a bigger container as it was one of the round plastic ones and the waitress said no but that's what they usually put it in and we cut it in half and still had to squish it in there which was just a little odd. They were having some plumbing/running water issue or something and all the bathrooms were closed so we had to go use another establishments restroom while eating, luckily we knew where we could go that was close. Just an odd experience overall. Not terrible, not great.

Been here for both dinner and lunch. All this said, I think my approach to this review is comprehensive. With regard to food, I think they have a decent (not expansive) selection of food, which I think lends itself to quality. They do most things really well. This said, I do think there is inconsistency based on staff at the restaurant. On one occasion they have accommodated a request, and on another I was denied the exact same request. I found this frustrating. On one occasion I've also seen management talk down to staff here, which is a big no no for me. All people (especially staff) are due respect and this rubbed me the wrong way. This was an isolated incident but it definitely made my dining experience uncomfortable. Especially because I was getting excellent service from the server!!! I've always had quality service from servers here. In the future, I would come to Rhett for convenience as a hotel guest (the hotel is lovely), but would likely not spend my money if I wasn't staying at the hotel. Overall- it's good food, decent ambiance... but there are soooo many good options in Savannah. You have to be exceptional to stand out in that city.

First, the setting is absolutely beautiful. You're dining inside this gorgeous historic pink mansion, and you can feel the history and richness of the energy throughout the space. There is something so special about being there. It feels like an experience before you even get to the food. And speaking of those biscuits, they were genuinely some of the best biscuits I have ever put in my mouth. I could have eaten an entire basket by myself. We started with the goat cheese artichoke fritters, which were delicious. I also had the Low Country she-crab soup, and heavenly is really the only word for it. Rich, creamy, flavorful, just incredible. For dinner, I had the pecan-crusted chicken breast with blackberry bourbon glaze, sweet potato with pecan vanilla butter, and string beans. It was so, so good. Every part of the plate worked beautifully together, and it was exactly the kind of Southern meal I was hoping to have while in Savannah. The service was fantastic, and throughout the evening we heard beautiful live music from some amazing singers. Between the historic setting, the incredible food, the hospitality, and the music, the entire evening felt truly special. Bravo to everyone who works there and makes this place what it is. What an exceptional experience. I genuinely cannot wait to go back.

The service by our waitress Kristen, who was also the sommelier, was top notch. She gave us great wine recommendations for the choices we made. She also gave us a picture of what was on the menu. We ordered the She Crab soup and BLT. The fried green tomatoes sold me on the Pink House's version of a deconstructed BLT. The biscuits are great for dipping not just a snack so be sure you help clean the plate with them. Yum. I ordered the Vidalia onion and Sweet potato ravioli with oyster mushrooms with pecans. It was the best thing between my wife and I. She had the fried flounder with a side of asparagus. Whole fish without the head. I thought the fish was delicious. Paired with the Reisling Kabinett, while the Pinot Noir Argyle went well with the Ravioli. For dessert I had the Pecan Basket. The vanilla with fruit in a pecan weave held the whole dessert together. The raspberry peach sorbet was delicate and sweet. Both desserts hit the spot along with the coffee to finish up the night. The light, tables, paintings and decorations were perfect for a romantic evening with your special someone or dinner with the family to celebrate a special occasion. Whatever the case, this visit capped a great weekend in Savannah and Tybee.

It's right in the heart of downtown off Congress Street and across from the Rail Pub. There is street parking, but being downtown, it can definitely be limited. I finally stopped in after dinner hours around 7pm on Friday. Since it was date night we ordered the raw tower, which comes stacked with everything under the sun: oysters, shrimp, snow crab, lobster and mussels. I also ordered scallops and asked if it could be prepared without butter because of my dairy allergy. The kitchen has no problem making them with olive oil instead. Super delicious! I enjoyed it so much that I came back the following weekend with friends. I made reservations online during happy hour (4-6pm) and we were lucky enough to be seated in the small back dining room tucked away behind the bar. Our server was wonderful and very attentive, and I especially appreciated that she actually paid attention to the allergy notes I included with my reservations. Of course we all ordered a dozen oysters each because they're $1 during happy hour and who can beat that? I ordered the scallops again because I liked them so much the first time, and around the table we had a mixture of lobster, mussels, dressed oysters, turtle cheesecake, finishing everything off with espresso martinis. Hands down delicious. The service was top-tier too. Our server never hovered, but somehow always checked on us at just the right time and made sure we had everything we needed. Two great visits so far and I'll absolutely be back to try more of the menu.
