The Rhett in Savannah is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you can tell they've taken time to create an atmosphere that is both aesthetically pleasing and inviting. The space is spotless, blending a sleek modern setup with an old-school dining vibe that makes it feel stylish yet comfortable. I ordered the Brioche French Toast, which came topped with fresh berries, lemon mascarpone, and toasted almonds, along with a side of chicken sausage. The dish was beautifully plated and even more impressive in taste. The French toast itself was light, fluffy, and perfectly golden. The fresh berries added just the right amount of brightness, and the lemon mascarpone was a creamy, slightly tangy balance to the natural sweetness--so good that you don't even need syrup. The toasted almonds gave it a nice crunch for texture. The chicken sausage on the side was another highlight. It was thick, cooked to a crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. It paired well with the French toast and really rounded out the meal. Service was top-notch. My server, Fatima, was warm, attentive, and personable. I especially appreciated that my water glass never went empty. Beyond individual service, I noticed how well the staff worked together--checking in, supporting each other, and ensuring that every guest was taken care of. That level of teamwork and attention makes the dining experience feel seamless and welcoming. Overall, The Rhett exceeded my expectations. Great food, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere--I'm already looking forward to returning. read more

In the heart of the Alina hotel, there is a little gem of a restaurant called Rhett. For those who love a hearty brunch, this place is a dream come true. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the savory smells that wafted out of the kitchen were absolutely tantalizing. One of the dishes that truly made Rhett stand out was their breakfast sandwich. This little creation was a flakey, buttery croissant stuffed with crispy bacon and eggs cooked to absolute perfection. With every bite came an explosion of flavors that would make your taste buds dance with delight. For those who were looking for something on the lighter side, the avocado toast was a true winner. The creamy avocado was perfectly spread over a thick, hearty bread that was both filling and delicious. The seasonal vegetables and pistachios on top gave the dish a little extra crunch and flavor that was absolutely delightful. But what truly set Rhett apart was the service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and always lovely to chat with. You could tell that they truly cared about their customers and were passionate about creating a dining experience that was both enjoyable and memorable. In conclusion, if you're looking for a brunch spot that is both delicious and welcoming, then Rhett is the place for you. With their incredible breakfast sandwich, delicious avocado toast, and attentive service, you'll feel right at home and leave with a full belly and a happy heart. read more

We stayed at The Alida and came down for brunch on the last morning of our stay. We were able to seat ourselves (which I loved) and the server easily found us and came quickly. My husband had a standard breakfast and I opted for the BLT - both meals were HUGE and delicious. Our server was very attentive and even spotted something on my coffee mug upon setting it down and said she would like to take it back and get a new one - which was impressive because most people wouldn't do that, or be so honest. When they bring you the check they give you a little postcard which is a fun way to remember the trip so I love that! After brunch I went to the bar area to redeem my free beer voucher I got with check in. It was pretty early (don't judge!) and they still had the cups over all of the taps. Someone quickly saw me standing there and came over to ask if I needed something - they were totally happy to help and open the bar for me which was super nice of them considering I wasn't even "technically" paying for the beer (other than a tip). I would definitely recommend stopping here - the ambiance, food and service are all unmatched! read more

Food was AMAZING, but the best part was our service, Yan took care of us in a way that any other server have done it before. She was really sweet to us, our daughter loved her, she was attentive to us all the time, we didn't have to wait for her never, even thoug she was moving all the time, taking care of a lot of tables. She gave us the best recommendations, every question we had about our drinks or food she answered them without hesitating, we are so glad she was our server because everything she recommended to us was amazing! We are definitely coming back for dinner and asking for her to be our server, and we are recommending this place and Yan to our friends and family no doubt. read more

I have actually been to Rhett twice since it opened. As soon as you walk in, you are welcomed by a beautiful modern decor, peaceful ambiance and overall beautiful space. The ricotta cheese and the cauliflower appetizers were amazing. We had a large party so we were able to order almost all the appetizers in the menu and they were all incredible. That evening I ordered the Cocotte of Cod which was served with mussels, incredible! My husband ordered the Pork and loved every bite. Our server was Denise, she was so knowledgable and thorough with the menu; she knew it inside out. The mac and cheese is a must order every time! Will definitely be back. read more

Upscale Ambiance by the River This upscale seafood restaurant boasts a beautiful ambiance and a convenient downtown location right by the river. However, be prepared for pricier fare. While the restaurant excels in service with attentive wait staff, vegetarians may find themselves limited. The menu offers only two vegetarian options, both featuring mushrooms. If you enjoy mushrooms, you'll likely be happy with the delicious and well-prepared options. For a more inclusive menu, the restaurant could consider adding more vegetarian entrees that utilize plant-based meat alternatives, catering to a wider range of dietary preferences. read more

Food was really amazing, the only thing we didn't really like was our service, the server wasn't taking care of us as she should have, she looked kinda off, she didn't introduce herself to us, so we had to called her by "miss" all the time and more than once for her to come to us. Fortunately there was this other server, Yan (she did introduced herself to us, even she wasn't our server), that helped us a lot, she looked busy taking care of her tables but still she came to us a few times, asked us if we needed something, even refill our drinks. We are defnitely coming back and asking for her to be our server. read more

We had a wonderful Christmas brunch experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our server, Mozaifa. From the moment we sat down, Mozaifa greeted us warmly and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. He was attentive without being overbearing, and very kind. The holiday decorations and festive atmosphere made the brunch even more special, but it was Mozaifa's friendly and professional service that truly stood out. We left feeling well taken care of, and we're already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Mozaifa, for making our Christmas unforgettable. read more

Brunching at Rhett was a flavorful journey, with dishes that delighted the palate. However, the bustling crowd seemed to be a bit much for the staff to handle during our visit. It was a tad disappointing to receive our coffees post-meal, indicative of them being swamped. A heads-up for potential diners: the noise level can escalate, so those with sensitivities might want to take note. Despite the hiccups, the culinary is undeniable, and I'm optimistic about a smoother experience next time. read more
