    When we first pulled up to this restaurant we thought we were walking into someone's home based on the location and exterior of the home. When we walked in we quickly noticed we were going to be taken very well care of. We each started with a glass of wine and ordered the steak w Chinese broccoli and potatoes (it had a fancier name but I forgot to save it). Let me just say.... amazing dinner! Best dinner we ate the whole time we were in Savannah! Everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly and deliciously! We normally don't get dessert but was amazed with dinner so decided to take a gamble with the desert. I ordered the coconut sorbet and fruit compote and it was delicious as well! Truly a fine dining experience with a homey feel. There is an option to sit cook side with a view of the kitchen which we want to try next time we visit! Truly an amazing dinner and great environment!

    Sweet potato - smokey and delicious

    Pretty place with lovely eating spaces and interesting food, but didn't quite hit the mark for us. Honestly, we felt the restaurant was somewhat more taken with itself than the experience warranted. Without going into excessive detail about our extensive notes (because everything is subjective and I don't want this review to sound super negative), we found the dishes were fine-to-good . . . but not quite where we thought they should be given the vaunted reputation of the establishment. (I'll note that from the reviews here and the professional reviewer buzz, our take is a minority one.) One thing I'll say in favor of Common Thread: my wife ordered a dish with which she has a lot of experience and the version the restaurant served (while made of high quality ingredients) was not of the preparatory style that she was expecting. The server noted she did not eat it and simply took it off the tab - well and professionally done.

    Fall Squash dish that we chose as Appetiser

    One of the FINEST upscale Restaurant that I have visited. Hands down an incredible and a memorable experience. Me and my wife took a trip to Savannah to celebrate our 1st year anniversary & baby moon. we visited this restaurant on November 18th, 2025. As soon as we entered we were greeted and since it I had a reservation already for our anniversary dinner. We were seated at a very private place of this heritage restaurant. We loved it. The ambiance and atmosphere were very soothing and relaxing. Service was just exceptional, our server SOPHIA went above and beyond to make our dinner experience top notch. To start we had some drinks which was out of the world. For appetiser we were recommended for a Fall Squash I must say the sauce and the dish was mouth watering. For mains I had Sweet potato and my wife had gnocchi, what do I say every bite that I took could say it was cooked to perfection and it was just mind boggling. Finally, for desserts we had their home made Apple crisp and it was just amazing and the best part is it wasn't too sugary or sweet. It just had perfect amount of sweetness. Overall, I really recommend this place and thank you guys for making our 1st year anniversary so memorable and me being a vegetarian and having so much of dietary restrictions, you guys made it work and huge shout out to the chef, service team and the whole management. I'll surely visit again !!! I can't stop thinking about the food. 10/10

    When a restaurant is ran by a farmers, one does not need to contemplate for too long how good it will be. After all, there are only so many ways to mess up a good tomato when slicing it or a fresh oyster that was caught that day. Founders Ryan and Joanne Williamson purchased a 5-acre farm outside of Bluffton, supplying food to Montage hotel. Years later, along with the chef, they started Common Thread and it's every bit as good as the result of such a story should be. Attentive, high quality cooking and excellent presentations. Oysters are spectacular. Carolina Gold Rice is much closer to a quality risotto than anything else. Tuna appetizer is a must. Salads are solid (although sadly the tomatoes are naturally not as rich and tasty as one would think, but that's a very minor complaint). The folks working here from the host stand to the waitress are attentive and kind. And what can beat dining in an 1897 Krouskoff House restored to a new century of beauty. Thus, Common Thread is everything that fine dining should be. Incredibly fresh, unpretentious, generously portioned, grown by dedicated people and presented in a historical relic revived.

    Soft shell crab. Delicious.

    My wife surprised me with a "chef's table" dinner experience at Common Thread. And what an experience! Executive Chef Victor gave us a great overview of what we were about to experience... it was almost overwhelming. I think we had a tasting of nearly every item on the menu. I think we had five or six different appetizers, two different entrees, and two different deserts. Some particular standouts were the Tybee oysters, ceviche, soft shell crab, beef tartar, cannelloni, the grilled snapper collar and the grilled steak. Each serving was introduced by the chef. Victor was amazing, as was his entire kitchen team. It was fascinating to not only dine, but to observe the kitchen staff as they worked. The teamwork among the staff was most impressive. Impressive cuisine, and impressive staff. Our experience was five star!

    Wife and I drove up from Jacksonville to celebrate our first wedding anniversary in Savannah. It was difficult to pick a restaurant to have dinner at, because there's so many great choices in Savannah, but seeing that the minds behind Common Thread were recently semifinalists for Best Chef SE through the James Beard Awards, it ended up being my choice. I'm absolutely glad I picked it. Walking in, we were greeted with smiles. The house/restaurant was stunning. It was quirky but still had its charm. We were escorted to our table, which was an odd little table halfway up the stairs, away from everyone. We were told that table was meant of anniversaries/intimate events. It felt awkward at first but it ended up being fun people watching and listening in to conversations as people walked by. Colton was our server. He was great. Extremely knowledgeable. He walked us through the menu, offered great suggestions on food and wine, did a proper wine service, and even properly pronounced the region in which the wine was from. Colton definitely made us feel special and gave us an incredible experience. I'll definitely give it to Common Thread. The knowledge in which every staff member presented was incredible. As every person dropped off an item at the table, they accurately described the dish in detail before they walked away. I've been in the restaurant industry for almost 20 years; serving, bartending, and managing numerous different types of restaurants, from casual to fine dining. I've opened up a few restaurants and have been a trainer as well. Common Thread is operating at a high level in terms of the staff's ability. The food: incredible. We started with one of each oyster, and it was insane how much flavor was packed in them. Our first course was also accompanied with the hand roll and the apple beet salad. The hand roll was fantastic. The beet salad felt like it needed some sort of acid/citrus with it, but still had great flavor. Course two was the mushroom cannelloni and the orecchiette. Both were phenomenal. My wife was obsessed with the cannelloni, the butternut squash puree was a perfect accompaniment. The pesto/parmesan foam on the orecchiette was an excellent touch. Course three we went against Colton's suggestion for the pork chop (almost got both, we were stuffed), and got the Ribeye. Great char, cooked perfectly. The peppercorn jus was an excellent topper for it. For dessert, we opted for the sticky toffee pudding. Although it wasn't sticky, the ginger pairing with it was an excellent touch. This is one of the best experiences we've ever had at a restaurant. This will be a staple for us whenever we're back in Savannah and will definitely be asking for Colton again. He is the kind of server I'd like to have at my restaurant. Props to Common Thread, props to Colton.

    Visited the Common Thread for my husband's birthday and I have to say this place hit the mark on all aspects. The restaurant is in a restored 1897 house and really delivers on classic southern charm. We tried the ricotta punch & forethinker cocktails and both were expertly executed. We enjoyed our meal immensely - the yellowfin tuna, chicken entree, & apple crumble were all delicious but the true star of the show for me was the gnocchi! It may very well have been the best dish I have had that entire weekend in Savannah. We will definitely be back to try more dishes in the future! Definitely don't miss this place!

    We had a mystery dinner and I could not have chosen a better place. The place was beautiful, I believe it was a house converted into a restaurant. This place has two stories which has tables on both floors. The food was great! I decided on the Steak and the ceviche and it did not disappoint! The servers were so kind, would definitely recommend.

    A well executed farm-to-table restaurant. Firstly, let me just say the staff is so on point. The hostess were warm and welcoming, the runners were pleasant, and our server Elle executed service precisely. It's clear the staff here is trained with care. We never asked for anything or felt rushed. Everything happened in perfect cadence. We opted for the chefs tasting. I will say I wasn't blown away by everything but overall everything was absolutely fresh and certain things like the fall squash salad and the steak were incredible. The building was built in 1897 (as a gift to the owners wife they say!) but it is well intact. The entire restaurant has a deep aura of traditional southern hospitality. I'm very happy we chose to come here.

    We had the best dinner experience of our whole trip here at Common Thread. Firstly, it is just such a gorgeous restaurant. They've renovated an old historic mansion, and it gives southern hospitality vibes right when you pull up. There is a large wraparound porch with what looked like outdoor seating, and inside, throughout all of the rooms, tables are scattered. There is also a bar in the back that looks like a very cozy hangout. The whole place gives a very nice semi-private feel. Our server was absolutely excellent. We went with the chef's tasting menu, and at $75 pp, I honestly think this is a great price. We had so much delicious food to share; I highly recommend doing that. It was a wonderful dining experience from start to finish. The oysters were absolutely divine with a curry/coconut/peanut flavor. I usually don't like much on my oysters, but this was so good, I could have eaten many more. Everything on the snack plate was also so delicious - the tuna tostada and shrimp hand roll were my favorite things of the night. Just so so yummy. The asparagus and peas salad was a yummy salad to go with. For the second course, the Carolina Gold rice dish was our favorite - rich and creamy, savory and delicious with crispy puffed rice - seriously, it's so good. the roasted fennel was good, but maybe not great. I did really enjoy the tahini sauce. The third course included a fish collar that unfortunately, we didn't enjoy as it was rather fishy, and the creamy corn that went with it was just ok. The hanger steak was cooked perfectly though, and had the most delicious sauces served with it. Lastly, blueberry cobbler for dessert, which was perfect. We left feeling very satisfied. Very nicely made cocktails. Overall, a very interesting menu and an experience I very much wish to repeat every time I'm in Savannah. Such charm and grace with each dish served.

    I was in love with this place! Everything I tried at this spot was so delicious! I recommend that you try this place if you are in Savannah. The food here is unbelievable and the services is great! I loved the ambiance of the restaurant. It felt like you were at someone's cozy home. The dishes are tiny, so you can order a lot of stuff and try many things on the menu. We started off with the two different oysters. They were so good! You have to get the dill oysters. I would say the best oysters in terms of flavor I ever had. The oysters are tiny, but what they put on top is big bold flavors. We also got the tuna tartare. It was really good too! The fish was fresh and the sauce that went with the dish was so flavorful and got rid of any fishy taste to the dish. We got the lasagna which was really good. It had a crunchy outer layer and it was a nice twist on a classic lasagna. We got it for our daughter really, but she wasn't a big fan. I would say kids might not like it because of the crunchy aspect of it. Everything was so good! I would go back!

    Surprisingly artistic culinary experience! From first course to dessert - everything exceeded our expectations. If you're an out of town visitor looking for a sophisticated menu aside from the typical river street seafood options, this is your go to dinner spot. We dined in August 2025 and the chef incorporated a lot of in season produce like peas, peaches, butterbeans and melon. I'd assume the menu changes often based on the chefs expertise. Overall great taste making and creative plating. P.S. I had to convince my family to get the coconut sorbet and they almost ate it all without letting me have a bite. 10/10 don't sleep on Common Thread

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.

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.

And the Brussels were nice and soaked in balsamic glaze, which maybe diminished the "crispy" in the title... but I didn't mind because they were delicious.

On top of that, parts of the conversation were directed to my husband rather than me (even though I was the one speaking), which didn't sit right. This interaction was with a hostess [long hair, glasses]. Thankfully, another hostess [short blonde hair, orange pants] stepped in, and they shuffled some tables, and got us seated -- which we really appreciated, especially with a toddler. From there, the experience completely turned around. The ambiance was really cute -- dim lighting with little candles that made it feel cozy and romantic. Our server [tall, muscular] was fantastic and the food was genuinely very good. So here's the takeaway: the kitchen and service once seated are strong, but the first impression at the door needs work. It shouldn't take a second ask to feel like a guest.
