The Grouper and Wagyu Burger were outstanding. Drinks: 8.5/10 We originally ordered a bottle of wine, but it took them about 30 minutes to inform us they didn't have it. This happened after one appetizer had already arrived, with no update on the bottle's availability. They do offer an ok selection of cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks, but the wait was a bit long. Service: 5/10 The service just wasn't good. Besides the long wait for the wine update, food took forever to come out. We even had an appetizer arrive after our main entrees. Overall, the food was incredible, but the service definitely needs improvement.

It was dimly lit and had a warm, inviting atmosphere and our server was awesome! To start, we all got the cucumber blossom cocktail. I got mine with tequila and the server was very knowledgeable about the drinks and the liquors that would work well with each one. We decided the best route for us was to split 2 apps and 2 entrees. For appetizers, we went with the focaccia and the crispy brussel sprouts. Both were AMAZING! I always love bread to start a meal. 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. For our entrees, we went with the gnocchi and the catfish served over grits. I would say the standout was the catfish. The gnocchi was good, but not as good as the other dishes we had. Overall we had a great experience splurging a bit on a nice meal. I would definitely recommend getting a reservation on the weekends. They seemed to be busy!

    The Olde Pink House was recommended by a good friend from IL. We are here from AZ for a few days,…read moreso my husband made a lunch reservation. Our server, Carmen was so pleasantly helpful when choosing our dishes and checking to see if we were happy or needed anything. We split a few appetizers. We had the Low Country She Crab Soup, Fried Green Tomato w/Smoked Bacon & Sweet Corn Cream, and the BLT salad. For drinks my husband had an Old Fashion and I had the Pink Lady. There was so much flavor in our dishes. The Pink Lady was sooo good, but it is a sweet drink (pink lemonade w/raspberry vodka). The dishes are not oversized, but just right. We wanted to try the dishes we read about online. We split our appetizers and ordered off the lunch main dishes. For the main lunch dish, my husband had the Shrimp and grits with collard greens. He does not like collard greens, but he did these!! He said if all collard greens tasted like this, he'd eat more of them. The cheese grits were great too. I had the crab cake, which is the size of a green tomato. The crab cake was in between two fried green tomatoes and topped with a green remoulade. It was served with fries, but you can change it for something else. It is a bit pricey at $24.95. I feel it should have been the price of the appetizers. We enjoyed our server,Carmen, the dishes, our drinks, and the ambience of the Olde Pink House. It's pretty pricy $$, but we enjoyed it.

When I complimented their chef for making a mahi filet that was both crispy edged and tender and juicy, he was gracious and modest.

Housed in a beautifully refurbished 18th-century cotton warehouse, the restaurant exudes a warm, historic ambiance with its exposed brick walls and views of the Savannah River. To start, we settled in with drinks from the bar, taking in the rich history of the place. For my entrée, I ordered the much-talked-about Low Country Shrimp and Grits, a choice I did not regret. The dish was phenomenal: plump shrimp and savory andouille sausage were sautéed with sweet red peppers in a rich Cajun spice butter sauce, all served over creamy cheddar cheese grits. The flavors were expertly balanced and incredibly satisfying, easily one of the best versions of this Southern classic I've had.

The online menu photos looked incredible (though I still side-eye those famous PB&J wings--maybe next time!). We chose the Treylor Park Double Wide Diner for breakfast and were thrilled we did. Pro tip: Head there early on a Sunday morning! Alcohol can't be served until after 11 a.m., so the place is surprisingly quiet and easy to get into--no crowds or long waits. We were seated right away, and our server was incredibly friendly and attentive from start to finish. My husband went for The Chupacabra--a massive chimichanga-style breakfast burrito stuffed with eggs, sausage, onions, cheddar cheese, fresh pico de gallo, Sriracha, and chipotle crème fraîche, served with cheesy grits on the side. I ordered the Brunch Nachos, which sounded fun as an "appetizer"... big mistake (or the best kind of mistake!). It was a towering plate of waffle fries loaded with cheddar cheese, bacon, sausage gravy, fried chicken, and topped with sunny-side-up eggs. Both portions were enormous and absolutely delicious--we had to pace ourselves to make a dent in them! Everything tasted fantastic, with bold flavors and that perfect Southern comfort twist Treylor Park is known for. We're already planning to stop by again whenever we're near one of their locations--highly recommend for a fun, hearty breakfast!

Space is cute, especially if you can get sat next to a window to people watch. Service was slow the day we were there but I dont think it was the server's issue, I think it was the kitchen. Our server was very nice and apologetic about it but it was odd because the place wasnt even half full at the time. I dont know if i would come back to this location, but I would be open to trying the others that they have.

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.

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
