    Madame Bang Shrimp (8)
    Samantha S.

    The restaurant is beautiful and located close to Riverstreet. Due to limited street parking, we arrived via uber. Reservations are highly suggested. The restaurant offers multiple dining experiences. We chose the main level and indulged in a few appetizers and drinks. The Caesar salad, fries, and bang bang shrimp were delicious. The drinks were okay but the customer service was a 10/10. Great location for a birthday dinner as they gave me complimentary bubbles and a shareable dessert!

    Madame Butterfly is one of my favorite restaurants in Savannah! Yes, it's a bit on the pricier side but if you're looking for a delicious meal this is hands down the place! Every meal that I've had has been perfect. Silly enough, I've never had their Korean BBQ. I order off the menu every time. The crispy wings are a must! The wedge salad, so delish. The mushroom soup, also amazing. Their steaks are phenomenal-- delicious without being heavily seasoned. But the brussels sprouts are the winner. A must order! If I don't order the steak I got with the beef stew, which has a hefty portion of chucks of beef and loaded with veggie. The serving size is enough for two people.

    Great Korean BBQ spot! We dined here on a Friday night & made a reservation. We were surprised how empty the restaurant was, but the weather was bad so we blamed it on that. We started with the madame bang shrimp, which was fantastic! My husband ordered the beef noodles & I got the bibimbap. Both were great! The meat on the bibimbap was marinated & so tender. My husband said his was really good & had a slight sweetness to it. We definitely want to come back & try the grill at your own table. Overall, great spot in city market. Service was good & restaurant was really cute & clean.

    Brussels Sprout

    Start with the positives -- service was fantastic, our waitress was super helpful in explaining the menu/ordering and food came quickly. The building is super cute and the elevator between floors is very ADA compliant. I ordered off the steakhouse side (Filet Mignon & Brussel Sprouts) and both were pretty tasty but definitely soaked in butter/oil, to the point where I was sick to my stomach all night. If you typically eat clean, I would steer clear of the veggies and just do the steak. My friends did the Korean BBQ, they said the meats were great but the seasoning was odd for a Korean BBQ place (my friend is Korean) and the "house favorite" sauce tasted like ketchup. They gave it a 6.5/10 as compared to other places they've been in DC & Atlanta. Overall, would come back but would stick to the basics. The flavors for the steakhouse side of the menu were wonderful, just definitely not a healthy option.

    Went in on a whim by myself and had a great experience. I ordered the Busan Korean BBQ and really enjoyed it. The sides that came with it were excellent, especially the kimchi, which was genuinely delicious. The cheese and corn appetizer was a standout, and the salad was a perfect portion. Even dining solo, the staff made it feel welcoming. Super friendly, attentive, and kind without being overbearing. I'd absolutely recommend it, whether you're going alone, meeting friends, or planning a date night.

    Enjoyed a pleasant meal at the bar while being served by a bartender named Adam on his last night there. Pork belly skewer was likely the highlight of the dinner. Wasn't overcrowded and food came out tasty enough and on-time.

    Sampler for Two with chicken skewers minus skewer, won tons, fried shrimp, and egg rolls. The yellow dipping sauce is it peanut based sauce.

    Fantastic service. Nice ambiance. And in the late afternoon, the outdoor seating was nice with shade and a lovely breeze. If you've been to Savannah, you know it can get quite hot and humid.. Tried the Sampler for Two and the Lamb Street skewers. Ordered the lamb medium rare and would definitely go for rare next time. Medium rare was a touch overdone. Overall the food flavors were great and the service excellent.

    Decided to go here on a date night and it worked out pretty well. Atmosphere is lively but also good for a date night. Ordered the wings for an appetizer. They were definitely a five in terms of taste. I also ordered the sea bass which was a good size portion and pretty good. Bar and wait staff were attentive. Overall I would recommend you check them out.

    This is an excellent Asian influenced restaurant we dined at for dinner at the end of February 2025 on a Friday evening. First, make reservations. We attended our B&B wine hour by Forsyth Park and walked the several, beautiful blocks to Madame Butterfly. The feel of the restaurant is modern, while maintaining some pleasant antebellum Savannah feel. We were seated after a not unreasonable wait; thirty minutes, or so, as expected. We were seated at shared bench seating, which I generally loathe but were on the end, thankfully, and a comfortable distance from the not-loud party next to us. We tried a couple of appetizers which were very good; the Crab Rangoon Croquettes served with a spicy cabbage coleslaw, yumyum sauce and lemon. Also, the Calamari which was undoubtedly fresh caught and cooked perfectly. One person loved the Bibimbap (tender Korean influenced marinated steak, egg, rice, gochujang sauce and pickled vegetables). Another person loved the Grilled Salmon bowl and I loved the Steak stir fry. Everything was cooked perfectly and spiced very nicely! Lastly, our server was excellent; fully knowledgeable and attentive without hovering. The food was excellent, appropriate portions and decor very nice!

    Spicy Seafood Soup
    Joe M.

    Hey Ya'll, Are you looking for a tasty delight for dinner tonight? Are you going to Savannah GA? Do you crave eating Seafood, Chicken, Steak or Vegan meals? Do you prefer an eclectic ambiance that has a keen fashion sense, a laid back atmosphere with a 100% out of 100% health score? Then we highly recommend you visit Madame Butterfly in Savannah GA because it is "OH, S O O GOOD!" Their Spicy Seafood Soup to start was just exhilarating as it tantalises your taste buds! Don't like it spicy? Ask Brandon, our outstanding Server (who was Personable, Experienced, Respectful, Friendly, Efficient, Considerate, and Timely, or PERFECT) to have their Chef dial it up or down between 1 and 5. As it is served at about a 3.7 on the Official Southern Spicy Scale from the menu. Please don't tell the Federal Government about our "Hicks from the Sticks" spicy scale, or they will add a new Department in Washington DC to regulate that too. Their Roasted Chicken with seasoned vegetables was delectable, very moist, with a pristine savory chili garlic glaze and poke sauce which I enjoyed to the very last bite! Their Trout with Crabmeat seasonal vegetables, turmeric lemon basil sauce was very suttely tasty as well, according to my beautiful and breathtaking enchantress with whom I had the pleasure of dining. Their Martini's were, I understand exquisitely crafted by their Mixologist as my enchantress had two. I enjoyed my glass of French Cotes-Du-Rhone wine very much with dinner. That's right, red wine with chicken. I..., I did it, and it felt good to be a Wild Thing as it made my heart sing! So if you want to feel fantastic because you and your date had an exceptional dining experience? Then saddle up Trigger, back the Combine out of the barn, or fill up your favorite four wheeler of choice with some of that Moonshine you been drinkin, and drive to Madame Butterfly at 110 W Congress Street in Savannah, GA. I am leaving you their telephone number (912) 999-8539 because the word is out, and this restaurant is on fire so you will need to make a reservation. The really bad news is this Family owns eleven more restaurants in Savannah GA as well, thanks Brandon! So next on our selection list is The Little Duck Dinner. Enjoy

    2 orders of the Meat Lovers platter and some banchan
    Claire R.

    We came here for our Anniversary and solely to try their Korean bbq. We booked a Korean bbq table and ordered the meat lovers feast which came with 4 banchan. Our server Amber was nice and attentive given she had a couple of big tables. She was super friendly. Please keep in mind that I'm reviewing only for the Korean bbq experience and nothing else. Everything else was good and would come back here again and try other things in the menu. Where it went downhill for me was when I asked if the kbbq came with rice and she said no. It's $4. She agreed that it should've came with rice. But $4 for a rice that didn't even fill a cup is outrageous. We've been to so many kbbq place and every single one of them came with rice. Second thing that threw us off was the meat seasoning or lack thereof. The meat that we ordered was just plain meat with no kind of seasoning or marinade. Granted dry seasoning in a little sauce cup came with the meat but the meat itself is not seasoned. It came with 3 sauces to dip your steaks in, one was the typical sesame oil with salt and black pepper, a typical lao sauce with fish sauce and some type of gochugang sauce for the third one. The meat once cooked even after seasoning it with the seasonings provided did not make the meat taste any better. Nothing in this experience made me think I was eating kbbq. Pretty disappointing. Would I come back here again? Probably not unless they season their meat a little better and give the rice for free. Also the banchans were ok. I don't think it's made by a real Korean that's all I'm gonna say about that. As long as you're not expecting a full kbbq or part kbbq experience then you can try out this place. They had other things on their menu.

    Meat lovers feast
    Jason W.

    This place is disrespectful to what Korean kbbq should be about. Not only is it over priced, but the quality is trash. My grill was dirty, the one they replaced it with was dirty, and no scissors to cut my meat. The sauces they provide are not Korean at all except the sesame oil/ salt and pepper combo. Ambiance and decor is great but the quality of the food is disappointing. Also, safety concern, their elevator hasn't been inspected in 4 years. I would not come here if you're looking for a Korean bbq experience.

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.

So, that was already a great sign - considering the restuarnt was quite busy. We opted to sit outdoors to enjoy the lovely weather, and as soon as we were seated, we were greeted by our server, and it was smooth sailing. Our drinks and food arrived quickly, and everything was pretty tasty. The restaurant has ample seating throughout, ranging from indoor to outdoor and rooftop seating. It has a modern feel to it, with nautical decor to play on the Oyster Bar it is known for. The staff are super chipper (or so they were that day we arrived). And the overall service was pretty quick in my opinion, even during the start of their dinner rush. So, overall, I was already pretty impressed. For the food, we decided to share the Pomegranate Ceviche, which included their market fish, pomegranate, pickled green tomatoes, shallots, serrano peppers, and okra hot sauce. It was served with fried wontons as a chip substitute, and WOW, oh WOW! I had never had fried wontons used as chips before, and it was absolutely delightful. For our entree, we also shared the Seared Red Snapper (which included sweet & sour bell pepper escovitch, spinach, and yellow rice), and it was YUM!! I don't remember the exact drink I ordered, but it was also very tasty. Overall, the first-time experience was quite delightful. I would definitely visit Sorry Charlie's again!

The oysters were the stars of the show for the rest of my party as they are all fresh. One person ordered a po boy to go and it came out on a plate so we asked for a to go container and it took two to fit the sandwich and fries. We asked if they had a bigger container as it was one of the round plastic ones and the waitress said no but that's what they usually put it in and we cut it in half and still had to squish it in there which was just a little odd. They were having some plumbing/running water issue or something and all the bathrooms were closed so we had to go use another establishments restroom while eating, luckily we knew where we could go that was close. Just an odd experience overall. Not terrible, not great.

There were a good number of shrimp in the serving. The Crab Cake Sandwich was good. It was not as full of lump crab meat as other crab cakes that we've had elsewhere. The Catfish Fingers were large pieces of catfish that were lightly fried. The Shrimp Poboy was satisfying. The Parmesan Garlic Grits were disappointing. There was no hint of garlic or parmesan flavor. Our server tried to rectify the situation by adding cheddar cheese to it. Fortunately, the Beignets were as good as we expected.
