    You cannot visit Savannah without making a stop at River street sweets. Candy, taffy, caramel apples, fudge, bear claws, glazed pecans, and some of the best pralines you have ever had. Definitely won't disappoint and they have a little something for everyone. The service can be hit or miss depending on if they get busy, but one constant is there is always someone to greet you with a smile at the door with a delicious sample in hand. Some of my favorites are the bear claws, glazed pecans, and any flavor of fudge. If you want to try what put River street sweets on the map, try the mint chocolate chip fudge. This location sits perfectly central to hotels, shops, SCAD, the Marshall house, and Leopold's. The shop itself brings a retro nostalgia true to its original business model of southern hospitality. Overall, definitely worth checking out.

    Peach and coconut gelato on waffle cone

    It was hard to choose, but I got the peach and coconut gelato. My husband got the butter, pecan and bear claw both on waffle cones. I was super impressed that he didn't just shove one flavor in the bottom and the other flavor on top; he actually layered it and it made a huge difference for me. I had two wonderful flavors and was able to enjoy them at the same time and actually ate it all! Mine was light and refreshing and didn't make me feel bloated. My husband's only critique would be that he chose two flavors a little too similar, so he could not differentiate them with the layering. Every flavor was light, creamy, and refreshing. I wish I got the kids name to give him props, but the only two people I saw there tonight was a really tall guy and the guy that was waiting on us that says Corey on the receipt. Both guys were incredibly friendly and helpful. The store was very clean and nicely organized.

    So many indulgences in this packed sweet shop! Love the variety of cones from red velvet to chocolate to vanilla ice cream is fluffy light deliciousness, and the apples oh my Lanta layers and layers of decadence we chose the praline chocolate caramel, and it was enough for four servings.

    What an experience. The atmosphere was great. Better than great. The sever Aaron had a perfect…read morepersonality and delivery for the menu items. Can say enough, I fully recommend the experience. Drinks were a 10/10. We got the "Fourgasm" which was a cheese cake with sugared berries, carrot cake with figs/dates and nutmeg, a chocolate cake which was next level and a devils food cake. The carrot cake was okay not great, the devils food was so so but the chocolate cake with the Berry Naughty with a dark chocolate rim job. That made that cake wow! So, desserts were part of the experience and feeding one another along with the atmosphere, great spot!

Loved the dark atmosphere and romantic vibes- we only wished we had known about the Friday/Saturday night performances that are offered, so we could've planned better (maybe next time). My hubby ordered the dessert sampler... truthfully, only really would order the cheesecake and chocolate cake- the other two samples were odd tasting (but every palate is different)- just would not order it again. I do think a nice gesture of having a free dessert, being it was our anniversary, would've been nice (just a future suggestion). Street parking available and a game bar is next door, if wanting more fun entertainment after dessert!

    This place has gone downhill. We went last night to get a few martinis - didn't want to drive into…read moreSavannah. We got in around 8pm and it was so empty. Service was so slow- we sat outside and almost left because it took 30 minutes to get our drinks. There was a party next to us that was waiting even longer for their food. We went inside and were about to leave, but noticed our drinks were ready. We should have taken the wait time, unkept outdoor space, and aloof waitress as a sign that the drinks would be good. There wasn't any menus, we were told to google the establishment and get the menu there. Wild. There are QR codes that don't work. Yikes. I ordered the peanut butter martini- and the bartender only gave me an option of whisky or bourbon- Yuck. I decided to try it, but it was so bad. The bartender seemed very set in making it that way and didn't really want to hear otherwise when my partner said I'd prefer vodka in my martinis (you know. They way they're supposed to be made of not with gin). We got our tab and noticed an extra charge. Very sad what this place has turned into.

I will say I enjoyed the variety of martinis offered but the classic martini was actually my favorite. The food was decent, but I think I would come back exclusively for the drinks.
