    Quick stop for some oysters and drinks. All good! Service was prompt and ambiance was cool (riverfront). 4.4 stars!

    Came 20 minutes before closing Kaitlin sat us at the bar and didn't make us feel rushed. Put our order in and got 2 drinks in about 5 seconds. Friendly and accommodating awesome service from Kaitlin was awesome. I got the fried shrimps and old bay fries. Very tasty. Also the oysters awesome as well. Thanks for making our evening a great one. Will definitely be back. Beautiful views of the river. Over 50 restaurants in almost walking distance. But come by and get a drink and great service from Kaitlin!!

    We were looking for seafood on the river, this place had decent reviews. Great location. Outside seating only, with a covered bar and an overhead open tent for live music with seating for eating. It was confusing trying to figure out if we seat ourselves, wait for someone to seat us or order from the bar and then seat ourselves. We waited in a long line at the bar just to be told, seat yourself and someone will come place your order. The servers were short staffed on a busy Friday evening and overwhemled. Most of the tables that were free had not been cleaned. The menus were lamitaed and dirty. They had food stains and visible fingerprints. It also took a while for someone to greet us just to take our drink order. Once our server came, she was apologetic about the wait, she placed our order and was doing her best to help several other tables simultaneously. Honestly, it didnt take long for our food to come out. The food was disappointing. One positive, it came out hot. We both ordered the seafood platter which was 27 dollars each, totally not worth it. The platter came with haddock. Gross, it was not fresh, it tasted like bland frozen fish sticks. The calamari, was seasonless, and fried super hard. Not enjoyable at all. The shrimp, were decent, but tasted like they had been just breaded and fried, no nothing added. The cucumber salad also had no flavor. We were so disappointed. Look at the pictures, you can also clearly see the portions were skimpy for a platter. Based off of this experience I would not recommend and certainly would not try them again.

    Nice spot to enjoy the Savannah riverfront with some food and drinks. They have TVs, I happened to catch Sunday Night Football during dinner. They have several good beers on tap and a pretty simple menu. I ordered the crispy fish sandwich which was good and a reasonable price. Overall a good experience for a nice casual dinner outdoors on the waterfront!

    I wasn't expecting much food wise because of the rating. Of course the atmosphere is favorable and refreshing with the outdoor seating, and it wasn't too crowded. The staff seemed overwhelmed, but some were pleasant, and others were like a touch of melancholy with a bit of niceness attempting to push through. We had to place our order at the bar. Once the food came, I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the fried shrimp. They were a really good size, fried well, and seem hand breaded in house. The flavor of the breading was really good. The fries were bearable. I do wish they were fresher. Everyone else seemed to have enjoyed their food as well.

    One of the stops on the boardwalk out side the hotel. Great views and nice beers. We had Annas' gumbo too munch on. Some good flavors but did not knock our socks off. Was very filling though. Bartenders were super friendly too!

    District Seafood is parked right along the riverfront, a long bar with no walls. You're going to experience the tugboats and freighters going downriver, the wind and weather (dress accordingly), and some pretty solid seafood. I grabbed a seat since its first come, first served, and ordered a shrimp Po Boy with kettle chips. Both were really good! I was a little disappointed that there was no draft list. They have quite a few taps and its tough to see what's available. There was live music as well, a singer/guitarist that was able to overcome the sound of the cherry picker that was working on the Marriott behind the bar. There are also several TV's playing sports.

    Great food, decent portions, and great outdoor atmosphere. The service was a bit slow but they were crowded. So, it's not really their fault. Make sure to seat by the river to enjoy the view and the vibe. Very friendly staff.

    Nice view, great food. Service took forever, we were there for almost 2 hours, I wasn't having any drinks only soda and it felt like forever.

    I don't know why this place isn't rated higher. My husband and I had dinner here our final night in Savannah and we loved it. We were looking for something casual and outside since we wanted to enjoy the weather. This was a short walk from our hotel, the Fairfield Inn, so it was just what we were looking for. Despite this being right on the water in a more touristy spot, service was quick! We got seated at one of the tables and checked out the menu. We decided on the shrimp roll and the crispy fish sandwich. I don't think my husband and I spoke one word to each other while we ate because we enjoyed the food so much! My fish sandwich was so fresh, and I loved that it was with haddock instead of cod. The breading was thin which I appreciated. I think it had cornmeal which gave it great flavor. The old bay fries it came with were absolute fire. Paired with a nice aperol spritz, I really felt like I was on vacation. This was a beautiful spot right on the water, perfect to take a stroll after dinner and enjoy the views. Our sandwiches were $18 each I believe, so I think the prices were more than fair considering the location and quality.

So you're supposed to wait to be seated (to get a table number), then go up and order and they bring your food to your table. When I arrived, there was nobody at the maitre'd stand so I just got in line like the other two parties ahead of me. I quickly figured things out and made my order of the fried Fish and Shrimp platter with cajun fries. I just came from the gym so I was pretty hungry. The food came out piping hot and it was simply delicious. The food was fried/cooked perfectly with no excess oil. Portion wise, I feel that I got good value for my money. There were so many things on the menu that I wanted to try but I guess I'll have to visit again!

The vibe was very cool. The nets on the ceilings, the murals, the subway tile...I really liked it. It was pretty empty when we go there so our party of 7 was seated right away. We were given menus and told to go up to the front to order. Hawk took our order and they were super awesome. Very knowledgable and helpful. I got an oyster po boy with sweet potato fries, my mom and aunt got shrimp salads, my brother and sister got the shrimp tacos, and we got hush puppies, calamari, and a couple of clam chowders to share. (My little cousin got chocolate cake for lunch. That's it. The perks of traveling with your grandparents! LOL) Several of us also got adult beverages...they had a decent selection to chose from. My po boy was really good and the sweet potato fries were excellent. The shrimp salads and tacos were enjoyed as well. The hush puppies and the BUTTER were amazing! I thought the calamari was just a little tough (but not the worst) and the clam chowder was thin...more of a soup. Overall we highly enjoyed our meal and would recommend this place if you would like some fried seafood!

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.

The restaurant was absolutely packed, and it was clear when I ordered the Oysters Rockefeller and asked if the jalapeños could be left off (their version has bacon, cheese, shrimp, kale and jalapeños) it was a "premix". Makes sense for efficiency, but anyone with a dietary or allergy restriction wouldn't have that option. Presentation also had a lack of personal touch. A friend and I each ordered a half dozen oysters, and instead of serving them separately, both orders arrived together on one large platter, but he was seated several people down the table, so we ended up placing the tray in the middle and reaching across. When I asked for another plate to separate them, there seemed to be some confusion and I was simply given an extra small plate instead. Everything was just "okay". One friend ordered the shrimp and grits and really enjoyed it, and the drinks arrived quickly and service was fast in general. Unfortunately, the low point was a friend ordered a half dozen raw oysters, but they didn't arrive until the rest of us had completely finished our meals and were asking for the check. Thankfully he had also ordered a po' boy sandwich, because otherwise he would have been sitting there hungry. To make matters worse, the oysters that finally arrived didn't taste especially fresh, and at $22 for a half dozen, they were hard to justify. Our server was friendly, but throughout the meal she had to be reminded of several items we'd ordered, almost as if we were placing the order a second time. On a positive note, the rooftop bar upstairs was a nice surprise and probably ended up being my favorite part of the visit. Overall, it felt like a restaurant designed for volume and convenience in a tourist-heavy area. Plenty of people seem to enjoy it, and I can see why it's popular. Our experience didn't live up to the hype. If I'm looking for seafood in Savannah, I'll probably explore other options next time. Glad they have covers for the patio when it rains.
