    For dinner, I finally made it to Noble Fare, and wow... what a charming fine‑dining gem tucked away in Savannah's Historic District! This intimate restaurant, with only about 38 seats on the main floor, is beautifully designed with a cozy black‑and‑white interior, fuchsia drapes, and sparkling chandeliers--perfect for date nights or special celebrations. I started with the Limoncello Spritz, which was the perfect drink! My date ordered the Southern Smash, and it was just as delicious. For starters, we both had the wedge salad, and don't even get me started on their house bread... I was this close to canceling my main dish and just eating the bread--it's that good! But I'm so glad I didn't because my 1/2 Lobster Thermidor was absolutely mouthwatering. My date's rainbow trout was equally amazing. Everything about this restaurant was perfect, and I can't believe it took me this long to try it! I'm already dreaming about going back.

    Noble Fare delivered on every detail. Atmosphere was welcoming and intimate. Staff was friendly and not overbearing. We were chatting when we first sat and they just let us catch up with family before ordering with no rush. We started with 1/2 lobster thermidore appetizer and it was delicious. Our entrees were the coffee rubbed pork tenderloin and NY striptease. They both had flavorful complimentary sides and were cooked to perfection. The candied glazed bacon grilled with the steak was a tasty addition. Noble fare offers a variety of signature cocktails nicely prepared. Portions were plentiful but we still had to finish with the crème brûlée and it was as creamy as expected. Don't skip over this quaint little corner in Savannah. It was an unforgettable experience and I'm quite sure we'll return.

    Great meal and experience from entering through meals end. The staff was very friendly, helpful and attentive. Tried the tuna ceviche (wonderful!), beef carpaccio (very very good but not the largest portion), the mushroom soup (excellent) and the baby wedge salad (top notch). The special ribeye was massive and delicious, the duck was different than I've ever had and very tasty, diver scallops that were out of this world and an excellent salmon. We winged it with them for the martinis and got a creative and delicious fruit (was it dragonfruit?) martini. Highly recommend Noble Fare on all fronts.

    Crème brûlée and coffee

    Loved the ambience here - a small dining room with an intimate bar. The wait staff was excellent, constantly refilling drinks and replacing silverware and folding napkins. Towards the end of the evening we informed our waiter that we all wanted to split up one of the party member's checks because it was his bachelor party weekend. The waiter said he could easily do that and he went as far as to give us a round of some limoncello/lemondrop shots that were sweet and sour and really meant a lot to the group. The food was absolutely delicious. I love a smaller, focused menu where the chef can really shine. I had one of the specials (all of which sounded amazing). The veal chop was seared perfectly, great crust, really good seasoning with a savory, slightly sweet au jus, and a perfect medium rare cook through the middle. The whipped potatoes and French green beans were good but I wish I had more in comparison to the large chop. The mushroom bisque starter was fine but I think there could be a little more flavor. The desserts were excellent as well. I had the crème brûlée which was one of the best I've ever had. The coffee was a great end to the night, and I loved the presentation of the waiter pushing the plunger on the French press, showing how freshly made it was. The one thing that our entire party was pretty consistent on was that the drinks were a little lacking. They were reasonably priced, $12-$13 cocktails, but they left a little to be desired. Overall, cannot recommend this place enough! Listen to your waiter and lean into the specials.

    Absolutely a gem! Wonderful food and service- just delicious. Can't recommend highly enough.

    Have upgraded my review from a 4 to a 5. They truly shown last night at their valentines dinner. If you're looking for a date location in Savannah this is the one to go too. The dining is intimate, the decor is pleasant to the eye, and the music is low enough for conversation but not so low that you're involved in your neighbors conversations. We had Jasmine as our server and she was excellent. She had a great demeanor and was very helpful with the entire meal, never rushing us and truly allows the prix fixe menu schedule to just flow. The menu was a very good representation of their chefs abilities and the filet Mignon was some of the best I've had in a while. If you want a nice romantic spot to dine, this is the one.

    Noble Fare is a restaurant that continues to impress me. The owners are a local husband and wife duo. It has wonderful food, drinks, staff, and atmosphere. It is located on Jefferson street. The Liberty Street parking garage is in front of it. This is convenient for parking if you would like. But of course you can park on the street too. The restaurant is in a lovely two story home. There is seating upstairs, downstairs, and a few seats outside as well. Bathrooms are on each floor. Upon entering you are greeted with the host/hostess area so you will not need to wonder where to go. The tables are set with classic white linens and silverware. There are small fresh flowers on the tables for a delicate touch. The colors of the restaurant are black and white with fuchsia accents. You will see those colors throughout the entire space. I highly recommend a reservation. It is easy to book on their website. You will be required to give a card to hold your table. Do not worry, you will not be charged for this. It is to make sure you show up or cancel your reservation within the time allotted. I also recommend sitting upstairs. It has more space and is quieter. You feel less like you are in a crowded restaurant upstairs. But fair warning it is a tall staircase. And there is no elevator. You will have to walk up and back down the steps on your own. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu. If you have questions or want to know about a pairing ask your server. They will most likely will have a good suggestion for you. The food is excellent! The menu changes seasonally. But there are a few items on the menu that are classics that you will always find. We started the evening with a cocktail each. I got the Southern Mule. It is a play on the Moscow Mule, it has bourbon and blood orange in it. My husband had the Smoke & Mirrors. I am not a fan of mezcal so I did not taste his. The drink was lovely to look at though. And he very much enjoyed it. I love their soup(bisque). The evening we dined it was a wild mushroom, with a large well seasoned crouton, truffle oil, and fresh parsley. It was creamy and delicious. For my second course I had the ahi tuna tartar. It had a pineapple relish and curry oil. The dish was in a word yum! I had a scoop of the evening's risotto which was spinach. And I felt like a classic so I had crème brûlée for dessert. It was perfection. My husband enjoyed his baby wedge salad. It was another classic done extremely well. His main was the duck duck no goose. It is comprised of pan seared duck, duck jus risotto, wilted spinach, and a star anise syrup. It was a beautiful plate of food. And he enjoyed eating every bit of it. If you are looking for a date night or romantic restaurant Noble Fare fits the bill! Or if you want a fantastic meal with wonderful service give it a try. We enjoyed our experience with them.

    Our experience at Noble Fare was delightful. The service was spot on,not too fast or too slow. Jodi was courteous and attentive. The food was fabulous. We chose the chef's tasting menu and were not disappointed! Will definitely return when we visit Savannah again.

    I really wanted to like this place. Everything is under seasoned. Not just for me, the whole table complained about this. Did the chef forget salt? Despite mentioning they have veggie options, not a single on menu. When I inquired they said they make risotto with "left over scraps" of vegetables wow! The saving grace was the creme brûlée. Very expensive for food that has zero salt.

It was giving chain restaurant a little more than I expected. We tried the grilled oyster sampler, and while they all looked slightly different, somehow they all tasted like variations of Rockefeller. I could not tell you which was which. The she-crab soup? Absolutely not. Zero flavor. I took one bite and sent it back, and I rarely send food back. The shrimp & grits were... interesting. Very sweet, very corn-forward, and the texture was more porridge/cream of wheat than the thick, savory grits I had in mind. Was it terrible? No. On a rainy day, I could actually see myself eating a bowl of it. But if you tell me shrimp & grits, my mouth has already prepared for something completely different. Now--the fried green tomatoes? THAT was the star. Crispy, topped with a little crab salad and this hot sauce that pulled the whole thing together. The crab cakes were pretty solid too, especially with the two sauces, and the collard greens were tender and well done. Overall, I'd come back for lunch, oysters, drinks and a few appetizers. But dinner reservation? I'm not jumping through hoops. Savannah has too many really good restaurants for that. 3/5 -- cute, fun, a few hits, but the food needed a little more love.

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.

    After capturing several ghosts in Savannah, I found myself in desperate need of a proper meal, a…read morestrong drink, and a place where the spirits would remain in their glasses. That search led me to The Olde Pink House--a magnificent historic mansion dating back to 1771, now home to one of Savannah's most memorable restaurants. The décor is beautiful, with antique furnishings, fireplaces, elegant woodwork, chandeliers, and enough historical character to make any ghost hunter feel immediately at home. The building is surprisingly large, with numerous dining rooms, each decorated and arranged differently. Exploring it feels almost like wandering through a well-preserved haunted mansion--though thankfully, the staff were much friendlier than the ghosts I had recently captured. The food was excellent, and everyone in our party enjoyed what they ordered. I'm not usually much of a beer drinker, but I tried the Hostess City, a craft beer brewed exclusively for The Olde Pink House, and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Our server was wonderful, and we were even able to exchange ghost stories with them. We all had a good laugh, although I'm fairly certain one of the portraits nearby was laughing along with us. We arrived dressed entirely in black, and not a single person batted an eye. In Savannah, this is apparently considered perfectly respectable evening attire--or perhaps everyone simply assumed we were attending a funeral for one of the restless dead. After dinner, we asked whether we could explore the other sections of the restaurant, and we were told it would be no problem. We were able to visit the different dining rooms and examine the antiques and objects respectfully without disturbing the other guests. Be sure to visit the bar downstairs, Planters Tavern. It has a wonderfully haunted atmosphere, with brick walls, old-world décor, and a beautiful fireplace that must be especially inviting during the winter months. The basement's fireplaces were reportedly part of the home's original kitchen, which only adds to the feeling that the room remembers far more than it lets on. The Olde Pink House offers excellent food, beautiful surroundings, friendly service, and just enough supernatural atmosphere to keep a ghost hunter interested. I arrived looking for somewhere to recover from the night's haunting. I left well fed, pleasantly spirits-laden, and only mildly concerned that one of the ghosts may have followed me home.

We were able to eat downstairs in the basement, which was such a treat given the history of the building. The atmosphere, food, and service made it a memorable Savannah experience. Definitely a five-star meal!

It's right in the heart of downtown off Congress Street and across from the Rail Pub. There is street parking, but being downtown, it can definitely be limited.

Since it was date night we ordered the raw tower, which comes stacked with everything under the sun: oysters, shrimp, snow crab, lobster and mussels. I also ordered scallops and asked if it could be prepared without butter because of my dairy allergy. The kitchen has no problem making them with olive oil instead. Super delicious! I enjoyed it so much that I came back the following weekend with friends. I made reservations online during happy hour (4-6pm) and we were lucky enough to be seated in the small back dining room tucked away behind the bar. Our server was wonderful and very attentive, and I especially appreciated that she actually paid attention to the allergy notes I included with my reservations. Of course we all ordered a dozen oysters each because they're $1 during happy hour and who can beat that? I ordered the scallops again because I liked them so much the first time, and around the table we had a mixture of lobster, mussels, dressed oysters, turtle cheesecake, finishing everything off with espresso martinis.

Sitting along the river while watching massive cargo ships slowly make their way toward the Atlantic creates one of those uniquely Savannah experiences you simply can't find anywhere else. Our server, Matthew, was outstanding. Friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely made the evening even more enjoyable. Service like his is a big part of what turns a great meal into an unforgettable one. Now, the food... The crab cake was one of the best I've ever had--easily 95% lump crab with barely any filler. Just fresh, sweet crab prepared perfectly. The beef carpaccio was elegant, incredibly flavorful, and disappeared far too quickly. Then came the French onion soup. There's a reason the National Onion Association recognized it as the best. Rich, deeply caramelized, perfectly balanced, and topped with a blanket of bubbling cheese. Without question, the best French onion soup I've ever had. The black truffle scallops were buttery, tender, and absolutely decadent. The evening's special--a blackened filet paired with shrimp linguine--was phenomenal. The filet was cooked to perfection, and the shrimp linguine brought bold Cajun flavors that made us feel like we had been transported straight to Louisiana. To finish it all off, watching enormous cargo ships leave the Port of Savannah bound for destinations around the world while enjoying an incredible meal is an experience all its own. Vic's on the River delivered on every level: exceptional food, first-class service, and an atmosphere that's impossible to duplicate. This wasn't just another dinner--it was one of the highlights of our trip to Savannah. Don't leave without ordering the French onion soup. And if you're lucky enough to have Matthew as your server, you're in for a memorable evening.

The complimentary biscuits were definitely the highlight of the meal. They were warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The food itself was good, and the service was perfectly fine, but nothing about the experience felt memorable or special. Overall, it was just a middle-of-the-road dining experience. Personally, I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it or return.
