    Bacon, egg and cheese on sourdough bread ... amazing!!

    From the ambiance and eclectic decor to the incredible food and wonderful service, Cohen's Retreat is not to be missed!

    Salmon seasoned well and cooked perfectly.
    MonaLisa Monroe A.

    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.

    Fried Chicken Biscuit
    Tanya J.

    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!

    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.

    Herb and farro bowl
    Lisa W.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Christmas Atmosphere!

    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.

    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.

    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!
