    Part of the Marriott property, The Ann Savannah, I was drawn to Little James because an influencer posted some attractive drinks on their social media. And I really hit the jackpot with this one. I lucked out because the bartender, Joshua, made me some of the best drinks I've ever had (and check my credentials on yelp!, I am a cocktail connoisseur). I started on the menu, with the midsummer marg, made with altos plata tequila, campari, chareau, honey, cucumber, and lime. Light, just the right balance between bitter and sweet. Refreshing. The whole menu is attractive. Several different spirits with creative ingredients you won't see on the average menu. Interesting flavor profiles. After my first drink however, I asked Joshua to start making me things he liked, or things he had been working on. I find I get the best experiences this way. He made me a couple different drinks, including this amazing grapefruit concoction that blew me away. You can see I've spent the last five years in New York at some of the best cocktail bars, and Joshua really surprised and delighted me. Literally some of the best drinks I've ever had. Joshua was warm and talented and I can't express how important it is to hold onto talent like that, Little James! I had already eaten dinner, but they have a nice little menu with sandwiches (like ham and brie, chicken pesto, pancetta, and more), cheese and charcuterie, flatbreads, salads, and snacks. The space is open, peaceful, wasn't crowded at all. Very minimalist, but stylish. Great place for conversation, meetings, getting work done, or just chilling out. Would be a nice first date option too! It's a little off the beaten path, about 6/10 of a mile off the riverfront, but worth it. As far as The Ann, it's set up like efficiency apartments with in unit washer and dryers, so might be great for longer stays or family stays!

    afé by day, cocktails by night!  Little James is the perfect blend of Southern hospitality and Mediterranean charm--a true social hub in the heart of Savannah. Whether you're stopping by for a morning coffee or winding down with a cocktail, this spot feels like home. I had the Paradise Punch and the Brie & Ham Sandwich for lunch--both were absolute perfection! The place has cozy vibes, plenty of seating, and is the perfect place to sit back, relax, and sip on something delicious. The bartenders were so great and the service was top notch!

It's located on top of The Alida hotel (also one of my fave boutique hotels) in the historic River Street district. I've had the chance to visit The Lost Square both during the winter and this past week during the summer. They have a great view of the river and cozy lounge seating, as well as a full bar. The first time I visited was near Christmas and it was freezing outside, but they had a burning fireplace and the cutest little enclosed glass houses you could sit in to enjoy your drinks. During my recent visit, we had our 1 yr old son with us and decided to have dinner there and enjoy the weather. I had the Valencian Spritz (reposado, orange aperitif wine, fresh orange, white pepper, and cava) which was the perfect summer drink. My husband had the Soft Light mocktail (zero proof gin, papaya, kefir, and saline). For food, we started with the Labneh dip topped with olive oil, za'atar, and honey with fresh pitas on the side. Wow, this has got to be the best pita I've ever had. They were so fluffy, warm, and well seasoned. We even got a second order. The labneh dip was phenomenal -- highly recommend for an appetizer or just a snack. We also shared to the falafel bites and the Alida Burger which was very tasty! We'll definitely be back for another visit the next time we're in Savannah!

    What a beautiful picturesque place to have some bites and cocktails!…read more I was welcomed into this moody, velvety spot with a sweeping view of the river. Beautiful glass, marble, deep colors of navy, mauve, and gold. Service was wonderful, felt welcomed immediately. For my appetizer, I had the crab cake with homemade tartar sauce, which was a light, bright way to start the evening. For my entree, I had the filet mignon. The server will tell you, the menu says tapas, but the servings are larger than that. Meat portions are generous at 6 oz. My only complaint is that I ordered my steak medium and got closer to well done. At least the steak was still moist and not dried out, but I would be hesitant to do the steak again. The spinach risotto I had with it was creamy and cheesy, however, so that was nice. Other options for food include burrata, a charcuterie board, grilled shrimp, sea bass, salmon, scallops. The cocktails are the real star here. They fall under the categories "strong and adventurous," light fare," and "signature." Non-alcoholic cocktails are also available. I started with the medusa 1597, under "strong and adventurous." Made with Old Tom Gin, extra dry vermouth, truffle, grapefruit, and amaro, it was extremely strong. A bold, slow sipper I would have done better to have later in the evening, but I still appreciate the complexity of it. I also had the Bella primavera, a lighter cocktail under the signature section. Made with pisco, blanc vermouth, French herbal liqueur, watermelon, and basil leaf. A smoother, brighter, faster sip than the Medusa. And I also had the blood orange martini, made with French vodka, blood orange, lime, and cranberry. A little sweet, but not cloying, and again, would have been a better starter as opposed to a closer. I think when I return, I will ask the bartender to make me off the menu drinks. This place seems creative enough that the outcome would be fantastic. I loved this place. The vibe, the view, the service, the offerings. Can't wait to see what more they have in store.

There are several drink options with your choice of spirit. The mixologist was lovely! She was super attentive and patient (i knew what I wanted, but was indecisive with all the choices). The prices are normal for downtown Savannah, but love that there's the decor and fun drink options that make it feel worth it. Last call is earlier than some other places, so be mindful of that. Unsure what it will turn into at the end of July, but either way, give this spot a try!

Ambiance is prohibition bar vibes so a little more rustic and casual. I was a bit annoyed by the hostess. We had a reservation for our party of 6 and arrived about 15 minutes early. I asked if we could grab drinks at the bar and she kept coming up with excuses on why we couldn't stand or sit in certain areas. Finally, I just asked her to come up with a solution because we had 15 minutes to kill and they didn't have a waiting area. Funny enough, she decided then to get our table ready. It was just odd. Our server was from Ukraine so she was efficient and fast. Not super friendly or chatty with us which missed the mark on Southern hospitality and made our experience feel cold compared to our previous dinner experiences in town. I don't fault her for it though as she did her job. We ordered an excessive amount of starters and some of the entrees. The stand outs for me was the crispy Brussels sprouts, roasted bone marrow, steamed mussels, and grilled octopus. Skip any of the bread options. They weren't even toasted. For entrees, we also decided to share them. The pork chop and NY strip were stand outs. We ended up sending back the halibut. It tasted mealy and freeze burnt. Skip the crispy Japanese eggplant. I was expecting a grilled dish and it was actually fried with a thick batter. Too heavy for my liking. Overall, we enjoyed our meal but not somewhere I am dying to go back to.
