In Savannah for work. Cotton & Rye was suggested on my previous trip but couldn't swing it because I flew in and out the same day. This time however ... I didn't have a reservation but I showed up minutes before opening to see if I could just grab a spot at the bar or luck out with a table since 1. it's a party of one and 2. I arrived before they opened. I should have bought a lottery ticket because not only did I get a seat, I had an experience that I won't soon forget. Starting with parking. There's a lot next to the restaurant. There's also street parking. I showed up early and was the second car in the lot. There was street parking too but when I left later in the evening, I didn't see spots available then. Then there was the service. EA was aces. She was friendly. Knowledgeable. Attentive. Just go down the list of all the attributes of someone you'd like to represent an establishment in the service industry and you'd check every single box. The team was just as great. As business picked up, the team took care of little things - even just checking in to see how I was doing. Then the food. See pics. I went with all of EA's recommendations including the wine pairings and dessert. If you're a follower, you know that I recommend checking out reviews we have in common to see if our tastes align - but here are my thoughts: Started with the Ceviche. Liked the flavor, though it was missing a punch like it was muted for my taste. I still cleared the plate. I really enjoyed the fried chicken, corn bread and broccolini. I liked both the seafood and mac & cheese but felt they didn't stand out like the fried chicken an corn bread. Remember now, that's my taste buds. I inhaled the panna cotta. Dessert is never optional. I'll sum it up and say that I'd order everything I had again, just probably not the mac & cheese. It was my first meal in Savannah. First time at Cotton & Rye. It won't be my last. And I don't even live in Savannah. read more

Well this spot wasn't on my radar and that is too sad. I loved our visit! Wishing I had visited sooner. Our server EA, was warm, engaged & knowledgeable.All We had Caesar salads & also their octopus app. For entrees: hot honey chicken, rainbow trout, vegetarian pasta dish and I had the fabulous smash burger with broccolini on the side. It was all so well executed. I could go back tonight! Their pastry chef is a genius. I mean it. Desserts were spectacular. Banana pudding was my favorite. Please consider Cotton & Rye soon! It doesn't disappoint! One of Savannahs best dining options! WE WILL BE BACK! read more

This is a must-stop on the culinary tour of Savanah. They are a Michelin-starred experience for the service and quality of the food. The greeting from our arrival to seating was prompt and very courteous. We got suggestions from the wait staff and started our experience. They have an extensive cocktail and wine list. We started with a drink called Southern Hospitality and their branded Old Fashioned. Both drinks were exceptional. We accompanied that with Grilled Octopus, which was sensational. 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. The price was very reasonable considering the quality and the service, and should not be missed next time you are in Savanah. read more

A little out of the general downtown area we stayed in but SO GOOD. Go here, make a reservation, thank me later. Small place and it was full on a Saturday night. The chilled corn appetizer, corn bread, cheeseburger - all delish. Casual place with great food & service. read more

Have been coming here for over 8 years and they continue to excel. Currently they are in the throes of a needed renovation so they lost some seating but the quality of their food and the exceptional staff has not diminished one iota. They just updated their menu and their new food choices really highlight the quality of the chefs and the sources of their food. This is one of the spots of Savannah that is a must go to when you're here. Jason, Jay, EA, Olivia, Brendon and Madisen and their entire staff just make the time here exceptional. read more

We went here for dinner and it was a great choice! Our reservation was for an hour later but we were able to get in early so we really appreciate that. Our waitress was so kind and funny she definitely added to the experience. We tried their wings and yes they are really that good! The sauce is something I could eat everyday. I got the fried chicken meal and the Mac and cheese is one of the creamiest and flavorful Mac's I've had. The chicken was fried nicely and was moist. My husband got the perloo dish and it was also creamy and flavorful. This place is really romantic and had that dark atmosphere. Perfect for a date night. A 10/10 for sure! read more

Great experience at Cotton & Rye! Cozy atmosphere, wonderful service, and delicious mocktails. The Caesar salad and shrimp & grits were both really good. The fish fritters felt a little heavy on the potato and light on the fish, and the octopus was small, salty, and also served with a lot of potato. Overall, still a great meal with a few standout dishes! read more

This place is good but wasn't great. My wife and I like to try various items on the menu therefore we ordered a bunch of appetizers. The Cesar salad and shrimp and grits were good. But the octopus was too salty with a small tentacle and a bunch of potatoes accompanied. The fish fritter had a lot of potato filler which wasn't appreciated when you were expecting more fish. A good experience, but should've been better when 2/4 dishes weren't up to par read more

The first thing I want to mention is the excellent service from the staff at this restaurant. We dined here during our anniversary trip to Savannah. The kindness and helpfulness of all of the staff from the moment we came in until we left was almost worth the experience itself. In a time where good service can be touch and go with dining, this stands out as exceptional for service. Our waiter was on top of taking great care of us the whole time, and brought a nice anniversary cookie to us to celebrate. He even added candy bars to our take home boxes as a special treat. The food was excellent. We almost loved the sides more than anything else that we tried. We shared and highly enjoyed the roasted brussels, broccolini, and cheese grits. The wings had a unique flavor. If you are used to buffalo wings, it's not quite like that taste. It is more of a spicy barbecue mixed with a little bit of Asian influence, but I'd say worth a try. The fried chicken was fresh and enjoyable. I especially appreciated the taste of the Mac and cheese. If you like Mac and cheese, it's very well done and worth a taste. The layout of the restaurant is great. Not a bad table or place anywhere. It can be a little noisy if very busy, but it died down while we were there as some started leaving. Definitely get reservations ahead of time like we did. 5 stars. Thanks for a great evening. read more

I just love the whole idea of girls dinner, and truffle fries with a Caesar salad and a ice cold martini are the absolute best. Unfortunately, there's no way to get your salad before your truffle fries, so by the time I had finished that big Caesar salad my truffle fries were very limp and cold and I was very disappointed. We were informed that there was no way to have the salad brought out first, and then the truffle fries later, which would've made all the difference in the world. However, I will tell you that the bartender who waited on us, James, was completely awesome. read more

Staying near Thomas Square, my innkeeper recommended the fried chicken at Cotton & Rye. As fortune would have it, there was a seat at the bar on a busy Saturday night and I counted myself lucky indeed. I was greeted warmly and ordered a Cuba Libre, which was crisp and well-balanced. Though their chicken wings are James Beard award-winning, I opted for their very attractively priced fried chicken dinner. That first bite - with a little dab of ranch dressing - was the best bite of fried chicken I've ever tasted. The dish came with mac&cheese, which was perfection: cavatappi with a rich béchamel sauce and lightly broiled on the top layer, along with crisp pickled cucumbers, a sweet/spicy dipping sauce, and a trio of cornbread donuts. Oh my god! I would happily return to eat here and would frequent it if I was a local. They offer a fantastic menu of regional dishes and the desserts looked to-die-for. On Thursday nights, they offer a burger, fries, and martini for $25. That kind of offer from a popular and well-regarded establishment goes a long way in my book for engendering loyalty. Thank you Cotton & Rye for making this Yankee feel right at home in Savannah. read more

Chandler was amazing, very sweet, good input on recommendations for food and drink. She was attentive and fast. Wings are the best I've ever had- tart, sweet, and spicy, prepared to a perfect crisp.

Overall okay experience. Sat at the side bar, felt very hot inside and couldn't really enjoy the ambiance the whole time. We got the wings and they were good, flavor wasn't my favorite my husband really liked them, they took about 15 min to come out. Burger took a long time to come out like almost 30 min, it was good though. I'd eat there again and give it another shot. read more

Absolutely OUTSTANDING food and service! Make sure to snag a reservation if you want dinner service. It's a little lively inside as the building is a remodeled old bank and pretty packed in for a smaller space but so worth the experience. This place has been overlooked by Michelin for sure. The menu is seasonal and the website isn't always updated for special menus so you might find yourself choosing what you want upon arrival. We got the Duck breast (which arguably was the least notable on the entire plate, but the cabbage was PHENOMENAL), the seafood crudo (by far the best octopus we've ever had) and the bread pudding (from their onsite pastry chef and which was the perfect ending to our dinner). read more

Cotton and Rye in Savannah is an absolute triumph and one of those rare places that feels special from the moment you walk in until long after you leave. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with a sense of care and craft that shows up in every detail from the service to the presentation to the flavors on the plate. This is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out can be such a joyful experience and why Savannah's food scene deserves so much praise. The Brussels sprouts deserve their own standing ovation because they are quite simply the best I have ever had anywhere. Perfectly cooked with incredible depth of flavor they manage to be both comforting and exciting at the same time. Even people who claim they do not like Brussels sprouts would be completely converted after one bite. They are balanced rich and addictive and I would happily come back just for them alone. They set a standard that feels almost unfair to other restaurants. And then there are the candy bars which are nothing short of magical. They are nostalgic and elevated all at once delivering pure happiness in dessert form. Every bite feels indulgent thoughtful and incredibly satisfying and they end the meal on the highest possible note. Cotton and Rye is a place that gets everything right from start to finish and leaves you already planning your next visit. It is a must for anyone visiting or living in Savannah and truly one of the best dining experiences around. read more

Probably the all-around best eats and drinks we had in Savannah, which is saying something. Brendan gave us probably the best service of the trip, too. Loved our mains. Loved our side. Loved our drinks. Pricing was reasonable. The room (physically cold) and music (annoying folk/rock) were downsides - both things drove my wife nuts. One ordering mistake on my part: Everyone foodie-ish I met loved hearing that we'd made reservations for Cotton & Rye and talked up the dessert chef (Peanut), all mentioning the "Twix bars" in particular. Me being a fool, I opted to try the special dessert (a gingersnap/apple bread pudding with ice cream) instead: it was fine, but not revelatory. We are planning to return to Savannah - and a big part of why is that we'd like to eat at Cotton & Rye again. read more

Stopped into Cotton & Rye with my wife for dinner while in Savannah. My wife had the striped bass with sweet potatoes and flash fried broccolini, and I had the trout with crab rice. Both dishes were very well prepared and felt thoughtfully put together without trying too hard. The fish on both plates was cooked correctly, portions were solid, and flavors worked well together. With my wife's gluten and dairy allergy, plus my tree nut allergy, Alpha-Gal, and diabetes, we're usually a decent stress test for a kitchen. Staff handled questions professionally and didn't make ordering feel complicated. Atmosphere strikes a nice balance--upscale enough for a date night or business dinner, but still relaxed and comfortable. Service was attentive without hovering. Good for: dates, business meals Probably not ideal for: small children read more

Cotton and rye has nice outdoor seating. Our waitress was friendly and offered honest suggestions. Felt the food was just ok - a bit of hit or miss, and the quality didn't align with the high prices. We had the wings (very good, liked they gave moist napkins to clean hands), the low country perloo (meh - a subpar paella, oversalted and sausage was almost non existent and tasteless), burger and fries (fries are homemade and very good, burger patty dry/overcooked, tasty special sauce). For dessert, we had the candy bars (tasted great, just like a Twix). All in - I'd consider coming for dessert, but otherwise would suggest looking elsewhere in Savannah. read more

As much as we wanted to eat here tonight, we were a little late in getting work done and getting reservations early. What really impressed us most was after calling and trying to get reservations, theycalled us back 10 minutes later to make a time work. Unfortunately, my wife and daughter had decided on another restaurant. Next time we're in Savannah, we will make it a point date at Cotton and Rye and we will make damn sure to get reservations a week early... read more

Who would have thought a bank could become such a delicious dining spot? Cotton and Rye is a one-of-a-kind restaurant you absolutely have to try--though I bet you'll find yourself coming back again and again. Housed inside a former bank, the space offers quirky options like dining in the old drive-through or booking the vault for a more intimate, special occasion. While reservations aren't strictly necessary, they're highly recommended, especially on weekends, since the cozy spot fills up fast. The food is truly incredible--each dish feels like a work of art, and the best part? You get to eat it! With a seasonal menu that changes frequently, there's always something new to try. Although the menu may be limited for those with allergies, simply speak to your server ahead of time, and they're usually able to accommodate you. read more

This review is for dinner and coming from a non-local. Visited Savannah and this was by far the best meal we had on the trip. I'm honestly still dreaming of it! Ambiance / Service: casual, almost has an industrial feel to it. Minimal decor. It felt like this was a less touristy place, with more locals dining here. Server was super friendly and they split most our food into two plates in the kitchen for us which was nice. Food: I would come back here again solely for the food. I ordered the below for 2 people and it was too much, but I'd still order it all over! -Award Winning Chicken Wings: I know there's mixed reviews, but I thought these were amazing. Drenched in sauce & so flavorful, but somehow still crispy. More sweet than spicy. -Mussels: delicious. Sauce is creamy and flavorful. -Savannah Crab Rice: this was unique. Felt like it had some Indian inspired flavors. If you can't do spicy, I would skip. -Strawberry Panzanella: good to share. Fresh, light, and refreshing. -Fried Chicken: because I got so many apps I split the entree with someone. We each got a big piece of chicken. It was the perfect serving. Chicken wasn't greasy at all. Loved the homemade hot sauce & buttermilk ranch. Mac n cheese was delicious too. Comes with cornmeal doughnuts - recommend ordering as a side if your main doesn't come with. Sooo good! -Pimento Cheese Grits: YES. Sooo good. My favorite side. -Green Tomatoes: I didn't love the goat cheese with it, but this was a personal preference. Nothing "wrong" with the dish. -Collard Greens: very smoky flavor. -Peanut Butter Pie: no photo. Got this to go. I think it's an award winning pie. Literally tastes like a pb&j sandwich. It was really good. A bit rich, so recommend sharing. read more

An old bank is the setting for this very cool restaurant with one dining room even set in the old vault! Our waitress was extremely nice and helpful which added to the good experience we had. The cocktail list is extensive as is the wine list. We started out with an old fashioned and an Indiana Jones which were very good. The steak tartar starter was tasty. I had the seafood perloo which was excellent and my wife had the local trout on crab rice which she enjoyed. Make sure you save room for desert as their deserts are special. We had the candy bars, chocolate mouse, and vanilla cinnamon ice cream all made in house and delicious. When in Savannah, this is definitely a place to try! read more

This place is fantastic. It gets very busy so reservations are helpful; when we got there, there was a wait for the bar. The cocktails are solid, though perhaps not the most varied flavors for the season. But they can make off-menu classic cocktails as well. The beef tartare was a great starter, fresh and light. The pork shank was rich and delicious. The trout was the showstopper, with lightly spicy tasso ham/crab rice. And do not miss the peanut butter pie. I haven't eaten that much of any dessert in years. read more

I used to love this place but it's really gone downhill. i don't think the food is even close to the quality of years past. - the clams were very sandy - the rye cornbread was burnt and the flavor ruined - the cornbread mini donuts with the fried chicken dinner were sickly sweet - the octopus was mushy without any chew/bite/resistance. like a tentacle of oatmeal Service was also lacking. It took several minutes to get silverware after the entrees were delivered. our table was small, but not too small for a busser to temporarily lay other diner's dirty dishware on our table. Def never coming back. Super sad. loved this place once. read more

We were able to get early reservations about 45 minutes before 6:15 on a Saturday night. We were seated soon after arrival. The salad with grapes, cornbread croutons and bacon dressing was delicious. Very good cocktails and the fried chicken dinner was amazing. I'm not a big ranch fan in general but whatever they are doing here, made me a fan. We had a hard time selecting from several delicious sounding options, my husband settled on trying something local, the low country perloo. Mine was definitely the winner of the evening. We'd love to return to try the clam frites and the crab rice. Their cornbread side is also delightful and the cans are desert is all it's cracked up to be. Great service and a comfortable atmosphere. read more

The food was very good, portions are generous also. Restaurant had a cool vibe inside, unfortunately we were sat outside under a tent during a thunderstorm so felt a little overpriced for the experience. Our server was efficient. Drinks were also good, recommend the mocktail! For dessert, we got the candy bars and peanut butter pie. The candy bar is like a homemade Twix bar. The peanut butter bar was rich but tasted very good and came with a scrumptious homemade brown sugar whipped cream on the side. read more

Cotton & Rye is effortlessly cool--the kind of spot that makes you feel like you're in on a well-kept secret Savannah locals already know. From the clean lines of the understated white building to the warm, just-dim-enough lighting and the chill, stylish ambiance, everything about this place whispers "date night perfection." My husband and I have made this one of our go-to spots, and while the food and atmosphere speak for themselves, it's Asia who takes the experience from memorable to magical. From the very first time we met her, it felt like reconnecting with a long-lost cousin. Asia has a presence that instantly puts you at ease--warm, authentic, and full of radiant energy. She's not just great at what she does, she is what makes this restaurant feel like more than just a place to eat. Whether she's offering thoughtful menu recommendations or simply stopping by to say hello, her vibe is 100% real. No forced smiles, no phony hospitality--just a genuinely lovely human being who brings light into the room. On our most recent visit, I'll admit I felt a little sad not seeing her at first. But when she came walking through the dining room and made her way to our table, I jumped up to hug her without even thinking. We weren't seated at one of her tables this time, but just seeing her made the night better. That's the kind of person Asia is--her presence lifts the entire room. And don't even get me started on the wings. "Award-winning" doesn't even do them justice. They are next-level amazing--crispy, juicy, full of flavor, and worth coming back for again and again. If you've ever passed Cotton & Rye and thought about stopping in, don't hesitate. You'll fall in love with the food, the vibe, and if you're lucky enough to meet Asia, you'll understand why we keep coming back. read more

A fantastic start to my time in Savannah. I heard it was good but didn't realize HOW good. Every course I had was mindful, impactful, and memorable. My first impression upon arrival to Cotton & Rye was that the vibes were immaculate. It's a smaller and more intimate set up with a staff that was warm, approachable, helpful, and kind. My first impression carried throughout the rest of the meal. The shrimp and grits appetizer was absolute perfection. The trout entree was incredible, each component playing an important role in the harmony of the dish. For dessert I ordered a glass of the vin santo and a biscotti. Overall I can't think of anything that required improvement. I will always eat here whenever I'm in town. read more

Looking for a perfect date night in Savannah? This has to be top of the list. Everything we ordered came out perfect and paired well with the drinks on their menu. Latkes were crispy and had great accoutrements, wish they'd been on the side to avoid getting soggy but still great. Best part of the meal had to be the wings. "Award Winning" and they are every bit of that. Smothered in a sticky sauce that had a smoky chipotle flavor with a hit of honey and a blend of spices. Extremely crispy and fell off the bone. Chicken parm could have served two people! Huge cutlet and serving of bucatini with a mislay spicy sauce. read more

This was easily the best meal we had on our weekend getaway to Savannah. Their chefs and restaurant are award-winning and wanted to have some great food on our last night in the city. We were able to snag a last minute reservation. As soon as we were greeted by the hostess, I knew we were in for a treat. We waited a few minutes for our table to get prepared. Thank goodness we were seated in the covered patio area because the main dining room was warm. Our server, Patrick, was amazing! He took such great care of us and recommended all the right things. I ordered the pear-a-normal, it's a seasonal cocktail and was afraid that it would be cinnamon heavy but it was one of the best cocktails I've ever had and I'm not a big drinker. To start, we shared the octopus and it was grilled perfectly! You didn't even need a knife as it was buttery soft and was served with little bits of chorizo and potatoes. There were some bites that were a little too salty, but thought all the flavors worked well. For mains, I ordered the low country perloo and my husband ordered their market fish (tile fish). The perloo was like a comforting hug of rice, fresh seafood and flavor bomb in my mouth. My husband enjoyed his dish as well as it was his first time having tile fish. It was grilled to perfection and was still flaky. We did not intend on ordering desert, but Patrick really sold us on the peanut butter pie. The flavor profile is reminiscent of a PB & J sandwich - the actual mousse part was peanut butter-y yet light served with strawberry sauce. My favorite part here was the dehydrated milk crumbles! I'm definitely looking forward to when I can dine here again! read more

We went for our first time with friends. The food and service was incredible. We definitely can't wait to come back!!

I was very excited to try Cotton & Rye based on many sources. Sat at the bar and absolutely loved the bartender Madison. She was accommodating, helfpul and very sweet. I ordered the trout which was good but slightly overcooked. The rice was okay but salty. The new menu item - broccolini was very, very good. Super grateful the kitchen complied with my no extra salt request. The menu is small but from my limited sampling, it is high quality and made carefully. Wine list on website does not match wine list at resto and they are not particularly accommodating on this point. read more

The service was good. They had great attitudes considering how busy it was. (I do have some comments later.) The food and atmosphere were just okay, for a few reasons. First, I love some good fried chicken, so their "Award Winning (Yes Really) Chicken Wings" were hard to pass up. But my fiancée and I were quite disappointed with the wings. Granted, we asked for the sauce on the side instead of the wings being tossed in it, which is not their usual preparation for it. But these wings were DRY even when they were drenched in said sauce. I might have been able to forgive that they were kinda small and you only get six for $22, but that was the nail in the coffin for me. We also found a bone in one of our fish filets. The rest of what we ordered was quite good. I would highly recommend the trout with rice, and the mac and cheese. I will also say it was quite hot where we were seated. Now, we visited in the dead of July, and I know they were making the most of the space they had, but I was still a bit disappointed on that front. (I'm not from the area, and as far as I know, there was no indication when I booked online that we would be seated outside.) We did get some free zero-alcohol sparkling wine for our anniversary, which tasted nice and was much appreciated. Bottom line: We did not leave hungry, and I would probably come back -- but for around $170 after tax and tip (two additional mocktails, two entrees, two sides), I think they are at a distinct disadvantage when compared with the dozens of other restaurants in the Savannah area with amazing food, lower prices, and better fans/AC/water service. read more

Cotton & Rye - Chicken wings with sauce on the side -- good flavor but dry - New American Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Cotton & Rye is fantastic. We visited during St. Patty's day weekend (got a reservation well in advance), and we are so glad we did. While their menu looks somewhat limited for vegetarians, the staff is really helpful in walking you through what options are vegetarian/can be made vegetarian. We started with the Mac and cheese, cheese grits, and cornmeal donuts. WOWZA. These were all on point. Almost impossible to pick a favorite. The mushroom stuffed eggplant was very hearty and filling. It was really well executed. Full of flavor. Get the candy bars for desert and thank me later. I'm going to think about these all year now. read more

We celebrated our 6th year anniversary at this restaurant and it was a great pick. Looks like it was an old bank one of the vaults has seating which is cool.

I would definitely recommend. read more

We visited Cotton & Rye and tried the wings, smash burger, mac & cheese, and beef carpaccio. The wings, burger, and mac & cheese were all fresh and full of flavor--definitely hits. However, the beef carpaccio was a miss for us. It initially came out frozen, though the staff quickly replaced it. Their take on carpaccio is quite different from the traditional style, with barely any actual beef--personally, I wouldn't recommend it. That said, our server Olivia was absolutely amazing--attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. Despite the carpaccio, I'd still come back to try more from the menu because the overall experience and service were great. read more

Okay, Cotton & Rye is AMAZING. Based on previous reviews and photos, I decided to make a reservation for our party of 8 for my husband's birthday dinner. (Very glad I made this pretty far in advance because they book up quickly.) We walked in and were immediately seated and had a truly phenomenal server. Some of us shared a bottle of wine, others got beers - everything came quickly and without any issue. We asked for recommendations on appetizers and main courses because it was just so hard to decide -- everyone loved everything and we all were very happy with our decisions. The wings were *chefs kiss* and my husband was obsessed with his steak. We ate way too much (as you can see from photos) and enjoyed every bite of our desserts, too. Ambiance: not too fancy, very chill, pretty; we were on the covered/enclosed patio area but inside was really nice (our table was too big at our reservation time). We felt very comfortable and were able to joke around with our server and get some recommendations for late night drinks & music, too. read more

Just had dinner at Cotton and Rye and OMG! We ate and left no crumbs..literally. The service is outstanding and the ambience couldn't be better.

A nice sit-down place, they did not have a wait and we were able to get seated immediately when we went at around 7pm on a Sunday. It was peach week, so we had to get the peach soup, and try their shrimp and grits. The waitstaff also recommended that we get the wings, which is a James Beard award winning recipe. They said that the fried chicken is more of a traditional southern fried chicken, and that the wings are breaded differently, and uses a distinct, slightly stinky sauce. The shrimp and grits were lovely, they had a solid crust of cheese on top. Peach soup was great, probably not worth what we paid for it, but great nevertheless. The wings were quite nice, the sauce was slightly pungent but not offensive to my nose, with a strong aftertaste of honey and notes of something fruity , and was earthy and spiced. I would still prefer a korean fried chicken with soy garlic, but this wasn't bad. Entirely unrelated to the meal, the bathroom situation in this restaurant is something else, though... They have two single occupancy bathrooms, one of which was occupied by someone for most of my meal, and there was a constant line outside the door. I noticed that one of the servers seemed to need the bathroom pretty badly, and every time the line dissipated, she would come by and check the bathrooms, but there would always be someone inside both of them. There is obviously not enough bathroom capacity for the restaurant. I'm quite glad that they had provided wet napkins for us to wipe our hands with after eating the chicken. read more
