Chicken and fries
Kylie M.

Honestly this place was very good! I had the chicken strips and it was so soft not dry! The service was a bit touchy I could tell our server was trying to head out so she wasn't around much. It was very busy the day we went so make sure you call ahead to get a table! While the only thing I didn't really like was the kids menu! My daughter had the Mac and cheese and it came with no side and it was 8$! To me that's a bit crazy for a small bowl of boxed Mac..

The saddest sampler platter you can order The only thing good and not scared to eat was the frozen mozzarella sticks
Jeff H.

When we first walked in, there were approximately 30 tables throughout the restaurant available. But the hostess said it would be 30 to 45 minute wait we took advantage of a wide open bar and asked if we could dine in there. They said yes. I ordered the sampler platter to share with my wife And was surprised at what came out: a total of six spuds that smelled like they share the frying oil with some form of fish, two frozen mozzarella sticks that were not in the fryer long enough still cold, fried pickles that were wilted and no batter on half of them. Was excited for the chicken, come to find out they were very soggy and undercooked, which was very scary. when I just wanted to leave and pay the bartender who had been complaining to other servers about how upset they were that people called in sick and she had fallen earlier in the day and was utterly disgusted asked was the food not good and why were we not eating it? All I wanted to do was pay, but immediately she brought the manager over and asked me to explain to her what was wrong with the food I told her how I felt and instantly she says did they have any alcoholic beverages? Bartender said no she said thank you very much. Don't worry about the bill and turned and walked away I was like and that is exactly why they're having difficulty with this establishment. Hope they can get it worked out in the future because they have a prime location on the riverwalk

The menu and food looked good. But nobody came to our table for 7-8 mins and we were worried it would take a while to get food so we left. Chicken tenders and pizza sounded so good too

Let's just split a basket of tenders and fries.

We were walking down River Street and pausing to look at the menu outside when a woman said "It's really good!" So went in and were seated right away. This place is not fancy but the tables are clean, pleasant dining room, clean restrooms, etc. Being the original chicken finger, we ordered a basket to split and two beers. It came with large plank potatoes that were deep fried as well and choice of sauces. The hot honey is the best! We were not at all disappointed.

We got the shrimp and fish platter with Spanky spuds - one platter for two of us was more than plenty.

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!

While most of the rooftops are regularly accessible to the public, there's something about Myrtle & Rose which has caused it to elude us. Often, it has been closed for a private party, or perhaps it was full. In any case, we finally were carded and sent up the elevator with the slightly aggressive doors. Yes, they close fast. Keep a move on! We were offered a table overlooking the river and served by Will. My wife enjoyed her Amber Hour, and I an old fashioned. I suppose they don't want us getting tipsy and falling off, since my drink may have had 2 or 3 ounces. A good little taste, but not for long for this Wisconsin boy. Let's not go down the road of it being a "real" old fashioned -- I know and enjoy both kinds. (You must when you also own a distillery.) The two shining points of the evening were the view and our server. This spot offers a nice, close-up view of the river from both directions -- perfect for the occasional ships passing in the night. Our server, Will, was very professional, attentive, and thoughtful. By the end of the 50° night, Will had brought a blanket for my wife. While we can handle below-zero temps at home, there's something about 50° on vacation that gives us the shivers. Perhaps it was the dress -- I'm not sure, since I wasn't the one wearing it tonight. Anywho, finally a great experience was had at this well-done rooftop bar.

The whole place was beautifully decorated every corner felt cozy, cheerful, and perfect for the season. One of the highlights for me was their hot chocolate, it was honestly so good, rich, and comforting, exactly what you want during the holidays. On top of that, getting a Stella beer cup with my name engraved was such a cool and unique touch. It made the experience feel even more special and personal. Overall, it was a great time with a really nice atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking to get a. Nice drink.
