So excited to visit again. Although I greatly miss the chicken and biscuit with tomato jam, the chicken and waffles with chilli syrup is a great replacement. Huge fluffy waffle the size of your plate with two large southern fried chicken pieces. Lots of butter and chilli syrup and also plain syrup on request. Delicious. The chicken is tender and moist and lightly battered. So much food. We started with a mimosa and shared the tomato pie which is exceptionally good. Flakey crust, filled with tomotes, covered in cheese and drizzled with sticky, thick balsamic vinegar. Two pieces in your plate. They offer a host of brunch cocktails and the loaded bloody Mary seems the most popular. Love this spot. When in Savannah do not miss. They are open breakfast, lunch and dinner but we like the weekend brunch til 2. Happy hour 4-9. 5 stars all the way read more

The best Happy Hour prices in all of Savannah- $3 for an excellent glass of dry white wine is unheard of. The bar is usually bustling and although the restaurant wasn't crowded for dinner the food, service and ambiance were excellent. Started with a Caesar Salad and although it needed more dressing (I like a lot but I get that most people don't like a drenched salad like myself) then split the Scallops with Asparagus- yum!!!! Served hot and cooked to perfection. Didn't need salt or pepper. Leave room for dessert! read more

My friend held her wedding here and it was the perfect space! There seems to be an event venue space (where we were) an area outside with additional eateries and a restaurant on the premises. The place was gorgeous inside and out and served as the perfect place to hold a wedding or any other event or party. The food was delicious and the staff made sure there was always food replenished and drinks like water and lemonade readily available. There was also a bar that was available just for the guests. Greta time! read more

The atmosphere and ambiance was nice. Free parking and good location away from crowd.

The menu needs updating. The food could be great but is average. The tomato pie used to be a favorite. To me, the balsamic glaze doesn't fit. Fish dishes always reliable. Great service. read more

The facade looks old "school" or church but Cohens has a lovely function space and themed restaurant rooms, a local shop, a bakery and a coffee bar! My group sat in the blue room and absolutely devoured everything on our plates after deciding we couldn't choose and just ordering and dividing up almost all the things. The patatas bravas are the best I've had outside a Latin oriented food scene. The chicken and waffle was amazingly savory and the chili maple syrup was a sweet and spicy treat. The Brussel sprouts were also a crispy bacony delight. I picked up some local honey with scotch bonnet at the shop, and most left with themed local finds and cookies for the road. read more

This is not the same restaurant I went to 3 years ago. I'm not going back. Quality of food is not the same. Not even a real restaurant that can change around its offerings. Tasted like everything was premade. read more

They don't have a calorie count menu. The Ratatouille could've been more tender. Veggies a little too tough and under seasoned. The Pork loin was cold and under seasoned. Rack of Lamb was cold but seasoned well. Greens could have been a little more seasoned. The Fried Green Tomatoes, Salmon, Shrimp Pasta all were Hits!!! The atmosphere and the ambiance of the venue is amazing. Our server Donte' was PERFECTION!!! We went on Thursday so there was live music that was great and we didn't have to wait at all for a table. read more

Food was very good, although appetiser was cold and sent back. So were the mashed potatoes as part of one main dish. Never brought requested bread. The restaurant itself is really fun and I would definitely give it another go. Went back a second time. All food was hot this time. Lemon cake desert was hard enough to use as a door stop. read more

Yesterday was my first time there. Cocktails were great. I had the chicken salad and shrimp salad with fresh fruit. My friend had the most delicious looking burger. Both were great but that burger looked so good that's my next meal. Also great event space, cute shop with list of great items and the history is interesting. Several rooms for small parties plus a gorgeous bar. Wish I had know. About this place sooner. read more

This was the cutest brunch spot I've been to in a long time. I feel like many people drive by here and have no idea what's on the inside, or that what's on the inside is open to the public. We walked in and a live band was playing music. Come on ambiance! We started our time here with brunch and had the most delicious meals. The chicken biscuit with gravy was so crispy and tender and the way the sweetness of the tomato jam complemented the savory flavor of the gravy was mouth watering. (Edited quote from my brunch date!) the bacon jam Benedict was cooked to perfection. The drinks were so good, and perfect for brunch. What made this place even more of a gem was the little bakery, the bar, gift shop, and "mini museum". We walked about and I can personally say the the decorative details around the estate added to the charm. Love the fact that this isn't located in all the madness of downtown. So exited to go back! read more

I really enjoyed the meal and ambiance at Cohen's Retreat. Sitting by the fireplace with friends made dinner cozy. The service was excellent upon entry. Soup and dinner were seasoned to perfection. Everything was fresh and delectable. I had dinner in the main dining room, but I hear the bar has a cool vibe and the catering hall is nice too. Would definitely come back and try other menu items. read more

This place is really nice. Lunch menu is small, but I love it. It is great for people like me who are indecisive. I ordered the herb and farro and added shrimp. It was delicious. My friend ordered the fried chicken with fries. She said it was too salty for her taste. I would definitely come back. Oh, did i tell you about the cafe and gift store. You better come check it out. read more

I'm vegan and there weren't any explicitly vegan entrees listed on the menu. I was more than willing to just order a few different sides, but the chef mad me an incredible pasta dish with potatoes and a special sauce on the side. I went there last year and I have not been able to stop thinking about this meal since I had it. read more

If don't order but one item - get the Crab Stew! Fantastic with lump crab and sherry, and it may be the best I've ever had in Savannah! The waitress highly recommended and she's right, "it's great"! It was a soup and salad day for me, and the Fall Salad with mixed greens, beets, Gorgonzola, drizzle of roasted scallion dressing was terrific, too. The accompanying grilled chicken was flavorful but a bit chewy. My only experiences at Cohen's Retreat so far has been at attend lovely events with delicious eats. There was a wait today but not for too long. A helpful tip is to keep in mind Cohen's retreat is closed on Monday and Tuesday. Additionally, they prepare many entrees using local and regional items. Honestly, a vegetable plate of their A La Carte items was tempting. Each are $5 and include Collard Greens, Mac & Cheese, Brussels Sprouts & Bacon, Field Peas and Seasonal Vegetables. I will return! read more

Got to dine there Saturday following the Savannah Scottish games and was beyond thankful we did. This is a hidden gem in Savannah. It used to be an old gentleman's home and their history is on display in the lobby. The bench chairs outside face the street where the gentleman who lived there could watch the traffic go by. This place has been remodeled into a great spot for drinks and amazing foods. The separate bar area is well apportioned and was busy with young couples and locals alike. The dining room is classy but also casual at the same time. The decorations run from Indian/Asian wood accents but the food is low country and American. Their shrimp and grits is very flavorful and I got the New York strip done in an Au Poivre style. It was excellent. The staff were fun and professional. They truly wanted you to enjoy the place and their knowledge of the building was very prevalent. Please if you can, give this location a try and you won't be disappointed. read more

So on this particular Thursday night,Dec 7th,it was a solo dinner date (self love). I chose Cohens because of the convenient location and I knew I would be seated fairly quickly even though I made reservations 45 minutes later. I've been to this place for brunch but only once for dinner. So you can say this is one of a favorite places. The atmosphere was amazing,Christmas lights,fireplace and great service what else is there. For dinner I had the hush puppies for starters a glass of wine , while I waited for the main course , I worked on the agenda for the grands and the adults coming for the holidays. Once I received my fabulous looking shrimp and grits I got very excited. They were extremely tasteful but the shrimp were very tough, not what I was expecting. I pressed on because of how delicious the meal was. After dinner I indulged in another glass of wine to listen to the great solo organist , he was great, very smooth and very relaxing. Now I'm trying to decided on my next Thursday Night Self love adventure. read more

We held my wedding reception at Cohen's Retreat. It was a small reception for 6-8 people. Natasha Davis helped us in booking the room and ordering the food in advance, and she is great. We took the chef's dining room. The food was delicious and service was warm. We started close to their closing time but they arranged for us and the kitchen and waiters/waitress was there with us untill the end which is 1 hour exceeding their closing time. What impressed me was the other guests having dinner there was cheering and congratulating for us when we came in. People go to the place they like, nice people go to nice place, isn't it? Food was delicious and looks great, too. read more

I've been to Cohen's several times for dinner, but this was my first time going for lunch! We ordered the smash burger and shrimp and chicken salad plate - both of which were great! They also have an awesome happy hour during the week - Wednesday, Friday and Saturday - 4-6 and Thursdays from 4-9! read more

My friends and I just visited after 2 of us have been wanting to try here for YEARS! It was a very nice space and we all loved EVERYTHING we got! In the charcuterie I got, there was a bacon jam that was THE BEST BACON JAM I have ever had! A little sweet, a little Smokey, and very "bacony". I was going to buy a jar of it, but unfortunately, we got there too late for the shops to still be open by the time we were done eating, but the server got me a bigger to-go ramekin of it. EXTRA POINTS FOR HER SERVICE! The only slightly upsetting part for me was that we sat at the bar while waiting for a table (reservations are strongly urged) and the bartender never offered me a drink, but asked the lady next to me as soon as she sat down and I had been sitting there trying to get his attention for 5-7 minutes before this lady sat down. Aside from that, everything was GREAT! read more

We had heard great things about Cohens and decided to stop in for lunch the other day. My husband and I decided to split the fried green tomatoes and tomato pie for appetizers and the combo shrimp salad and chicken salad. I'm not sure what happened but nothing had any herbs or seasonings whatsoever. They were all extremely bland. I would never have known there was tomato in the tomato pie. The balsamic vinegar had no flavor and even though the chicken salad had whole grain mustard throughout you couldn't taste it. There was a very strong garlic flavor in the chicken salad which was all you could taste. It was edible but nothing we ordered was anything outstanding or even good enough to say wow we'd come back for this. All in all we left feeling very disappointed. The two stars are for the decor which was very nice but the food was very disappointing. read more

Great lunch or drinks or Dinner spot- with no hassle parking! Some private dining rooms available if u hv a large party.

Absolutely one of my favorite places during my stay. 10/10 for the establishment itself. Beautifully decorated. 10/10 for the food itself. The fried green tomatoes was a chef's kiss. I also had the shrimp and grits... season to perfection. Even our wait staff was amazing. Highly recommend. read more

I really enjoy Cohen's Retreat. the food is really good. Nikki has done a great job being the manager and is always attentive. She has the place looking fantastic starting outside with all the beautiful landscape. Nikki really makes me feel valued as a patron and is accommodating to all. Great place! read more

Incredible atmosphere. Such a fun building. Wonderful service. Everything was delicious. We started off with a side of brussel sprouts & fried green tomatoes. Both dishes were excellent. The special tonight was a stew - hardy and delicious. The crusted grouper was simple but decent, definitely needed a flavor pairing like the jam/sauce that came on the side. Shrimp and grits were incredibly rich, but very tasty. A tasting portion of the shrimp and grits would have been more than enough though. The lamb ribs were okay, the collard greens were the only star in that dish. The beverages were a huge disappointment. The lack of selection was surprising (tequila to be specific, house cocktails and beer). Would have enjoyed more of a variety. The venue was wonderful. Beautiful seating areas in every room. An overall great dining experience. (Really cool nighttime light display) read more

"Upscale " place in the middle of a community. Don't miss it and drive past it, look for a brick building that looks like a school and an old truck out front. Inside you will be so surprised to see the individually locally designed dining rooms. The food is wonderful and priced just right! Check out Thurs. evenings after 530 for music and happy hour all evening . Grab a quart of Brunswick Stew, amazing! read more

Ok, I've put off writing a review because I feel like this is my secret place. But it's so good and beautiful and unique! The history is interesting. It's a comfortable, stylish and artsy place. It's a great venue for weddings or showers. My favorite thing here is brunch! I also finally went to do some work at the cafe area. (Bonus: they sell Leopold's ice cream! ). And I have to give a shout out to The Little House bakery for the little blueberry pie. It was SO cute and just as delicious as it looked. read more

This restaurant was really nice for brunch on a Saturday. My husband and I started off with the cohens lunch plate: chicken salad, potato salad, shrimp salad, as an appetizer. The chicken salad was curried it was delicious my second favorite was the shrimp salad which was very good, but my husband's favorite was the potato salad ( ide rather have shrimp over potatoes). My husband had fried chicken, biscuits and gravy with bacon jam. I enjoyed the pimento cheese BLT with rosemary fries (could've done without the rosemary seasoning but it was ok). The staff was polite, facilities clean, and nothing I tasted was bad. Very quaint dining room but the venue has a banquet hall, private dining rooms, a market and cottages in the back. Very fun spot. read more
