    I gotta say, I was ready for the over-hype! We re-watched the Chef's Table episode before heading to Savannah and I read reviews and scoped-out menus from the last few years to get a sense of what I wanted to try when we got there. This place delivers! We had a 6:45 reservation, showed up right on time and were seated immediately. Benjamin introduced himself and helped us find some drinks that we loved, the Polaris and the Castor. After he went over the evening's specials, he helped guide us through our selections for the night. Having some un-inspired oysters earlier in the week, we decided to do two of each of the three oysters of the night. They were perfectly cold, deliciously briny and expertly shucked. We added just a drop of minuet juice but the oysters were so clean and crisp, we didn't want to cover up any of the fresh taste. The winter salad was simple but delicious. The lamb and chicken were both tender and perfectly seasoned. The Wagyu had an amazing crust that added texture to a simple slice of beef and the cornbread dressing with scallops was an original take on familiar flavors playing well off each other. We ended with a lovely olive oil lemon cake. You can feel the love in the ingredients, the presentation and the service at The Grey.

    Came here on a weeknight celebrating a birthday. They very kindly give you a card in recognition of your birthday and everyone who services the table addresses it. They also provide a candle and free dessert in celebration. The ambiance is nice. It's an old depot station of some sort. They have maintained lots of the architecture. People were dressed decent. Not too dressy but not too casual. Dim lighting. Candle light. The menu includes seafood, beef and chicken. We tried the crudo and wagyu to start and the crudo was not to my liking. The fish is overshadowed by the apples and swimming in oil. The wagyu I'm told was good. The star of the show for me was the Polaris drink and the cornbread dressing. It sits in a pool of pot liquor from the greens. The greens were perfect. The scallop were perfect. It was my favorite thing. I also had the chicken as my entree and it is flavorful and hearty and the seasoning is very prominent. The butterscotch dessert was excellent as well. The biggest issue was the pace of the meal. Service was slow. The drinks too a long time and the time between plates was long. Basis the number of people who recommend this place, I expected more. I would consider going for drinks and appetizers again but not a celebration meal.

    We came here for an upscale anniversary dinner and we were not disappointed. The service was perfect and they were very thoughtful and wrote a happy anniversary note. The staff were helpful and answered many of our questions. They also had many vegetarian options to pick from. It's a coursed $85 meal and I felt given the amount of food we got, it was very reasonable. The Savannah Red Rice was so good. It was definitely a great take on local food and was very flavorful and filling. I loved all the different vegetables in it - they were perfectly cooked and enhanced the sauce base. For the main, they had an okra and beans dish with bread. It also came with some salad and the salad was really fresh and had a very crispy dressing. The whole entree with its different parts went together so well. The beans were not too soft or hard but the perfect in-between.

    Beautifully restored bus terminal

    The Grey, ran by Chef Mashama Bailey and John Morisano, has received many accolades. From being featured on Chef's Table to the James Beard awards, it is unlikely than this or any other Yelp review can add something that has not been said before. But, there is a certain value to affirmation and validation. Thus, if anything, that's what this review is about. First of all, the gorgeously restored space of the previously segregated Greyhound bus terminal is worth a visit in itself, even if for a drink. It's just beautiful. It's also a trip through time. It's a push into how modern art merges with history. The dishes here are remarkable not in being overly creative, but for their simplicity and purity that respects the farmers who grow the food. The tomatoes are genuinely otherworldly, perhaps some of the best that can be had in America. Not that it means much, as our tasteless grocery store tomatoes set a pretty low bar, but nonetheless. The poached swordfish was a remarkable preparation that turned this rougher fish into something delicate and mild. The oysters are fresh and perfectly accompanied by herbs. The chef's take on Foie Gras is no less remarkable, not overly fatty and perfect balance with salt. The one minor thing that could be improved is a bit more transitional courses to the tasting menu. An amuse bouche. A small transient snack. A palette cleanser. A bit of chocolate to take away. With all that said, one cannot complain about an $85 tasting menu based on highest quality locally sourced ingredients. The team working here is wonderful and kind. Thus, The Grey is the kind of place that must be visited in Savannah. It is simply an excellent place all around.

    Lemon olive oil cake
    Thomas H.

    We were visiting Savannah and somebody recommended this restaurant which is an old greyhound bus depot that used to be segregated and they turned it into a nice restaurant that was featured on a Netflix series called the captain's table. It was our anniversary. My husband had the fish curry dish and I had the roasted chicken dinner that came with a mole sauce that I think was a zucchini mole or something like that but everything was delicious. We had the cornbread appetizer before our meal and we had the lemon olive oil cake afterwards and everything was great! We sat at the main bar and our bartender and server was Shelby and she was awesome!

    Biscuits and gravy

    We came here for Brunch. So nice. The service was great. Loved the atmosphere. Food was really good I had the biscuit and curry gravy. Really good

    This place is a one-of-a-kind experience. You are recommended to reserve seating prior to attending, otherwise you will be sat at the bar or in the front section of the restaurant. My partner and I came here for brunch. The drink menu was limited to alcohol, alcoholic drinks or nonalcoholic drinks, I don't think there was any coffee available at the time. The food selection or the menu is very small, but it is also very tighten knit in that everything seems very seasonal and chef curated. I did enjoy the live music that they had, my partner was very ecstatic about live music during brunch. The menu is more of an American style, I don't remember if there was any other culture fusion into it, but it was really good. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the ambience and the interior where they retrofitted a restaurant inside of a greyhound station.

    Lavender Ice Cream

    This review is for a weekend dinner and coming from a non-native Savannah person. I had a reservation for 2 people. Overall, the food was good (not the best meal I've had), but really what made the experience was the service and the rich history of the restaurant. With all those components I would definitely recommend dining here, especially if from out of town. Ambiance / Service: restaurant is casual, but lively and has a lot of character. There's a separate front bar area that I think is first come first serve. Ask the server for more info on the art (ceiling & wall) - they will give you pamphlets that give a lovely backstory. I also recommend watching The Chef's table episode that highlights the restaurant. Our server was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Food: the menu listed online is slightly different from what was offered at the restaurant. They were sold out of one of the mains (disappointing since there were only 4 to choose from to begin with). "Pantry": Corn Chowder. Served cold. Tiny serving, but this was unexpectedly delicious. Recommend. "Starter": Cornbread Pudding. Comes with one scallop, piece of cornbread (almost like stuffing) and some collard greens. It has a VERY strong seafood taste that I personally did not prefer. "Starter": Caesar. Comes with 3 little heads of lettuce. Refreshing, but barely any dressing. We asked for an extra side - recommend! "Main": Chicken Country Captain. HUGE portion! The sauce is sooooo flavorful. I just wish there was even more of it and that the chicken was salted more. But overall delicious. "Add Ons": Parker House Rolls. A must. Dessert we got the chocolate cake which is great to share and the lavender ice cream which was not overly floral or soapy tasting - tastes just like the fruity pebbles cereal.

    Enjoyed dinner at The Grey with another couple. We decided to bring our own wine after looking at the wine list online . Corkage fee clearly posted on the internet. We ordered a bunch of some and some entrees. Small portions but very tasty. The Crudo was excellent as were the oysters (raw and baked). Everyone was happy with the food. Love the ambiance in The Grey. Stopped at the bar for cocktails on the way out. Parking was not a problem in this area of Savannah.

    Omelette
    Carolyn E.

    This was my favorite meal in Savannah. The renovation on this place is amazing! Skylights, art deco decor, a pretty courtyard, beautiful private room and smaller private dining room, live music, and excellent food, drinks and service. There is absolutely nothing about this experience that I would change; it was top-notch. Even the bathrooms are luxurious. It's very clear that owners and managers know what they're doing here from the moment you walk in. We arrived at opening time for our 11am reservation and were seated promptly with water service. Our server was so friendly and took the time to chat with us as we're from out of town. It was just lovely meeting her. We had bloody marys, and then I had what I'd call an upgraded mimosa with passionfruit - yum! And the food was absolutely so delicious, I will make it a point to return every time I come to Savannah. I had the duck pastrami, which is literally the best duck dish I've ever had in my life. It's just so, so good. Savory, satisfying, meaty. And their hashbrowns are what McDonald's so badly wishes they could be. Super crispy potato flavor; perfectly seasoned. My poached egg was perfection, as was my brother's omelet - so creamy, fluffy and delicious. I only wish we could have eaten more! Even the green side salad was above my expectations. So fresh and tasty. It's vibey and chill in here - you definitely should come out for this Sunday brunch. the live music was so good! And I bet dinner is fire. You all are lucky to have such a gem in your town.

    Fried chicken, hoe cakes with maple syrup and grits

    The grits are out of this world!!! Could order those and be in heaven!! The hoe cakes with maple syrup were divine! We had a reservation but decided to see if we could be seated earlier for brunch. We were able to snag a seat in the old bus station section by the bar. It was cute and the staff was extremely friendly and on top of everything, bringing things over before we could even ask.

    This restaurant really is an architectural gem. Nestled into a sprawling renovated art deco bus station, you can have so many different experiences here. There are various tables, bars, and dining areas. I sat in "the bar," which was the second room. I really loved the low bar and low seats with the foot rest. Very comfortable and not too high off the ground. And you end up sat next to a lot of single diners, so conversation is encouraged. I had a great time with the person sitting next to me. This is generally set up as a rotating prix-fixe menu for 85 dollars, which includes one pantry (things like pickled vegetables, dips), one starter (mushroom/rice dishes, oysters, salads), and a main (smoked lamb, fish, country captain). I had the red rice balls with smoked mushroom mayo, mushroom middlin (mushroom conserva and parmesan), and the smoked prime rib. The smoked prime rib was okay, but I saw the chicken country captain next to me, and it looked much more impressive. It was a large half chicken on garlic toast, looked moist, well seasoned, and delectable. The drinks are the star here. I was lucky enough to be served by the head bartender responsible for these concoctions. I had Simon's Lighthouse, the Jekyll Beach Bonfire, the Del Boca Vista, and the Revolver. Each had a totally different feel, profile, mood. Each one was delicious. Some fruity in an understated way, some smoky, some earthy. It was a wonderful evening and I can't wait to go back.

    Oysters with peanut sauce
    Julia S.

    My favorite restaurant in Savannah! We had the upstairs to ourselves for a pre fixed dinner and it was like our own private party. The ambiance was rustic and inviting. From start to finish the dinner was exceptional. The oysters with the peanut sauce were one of the best oysters I've ever had. They were so flavorful and packed a good spicy punch! Now let's get into the show stopper- the fried chicken. The fried chicken was what you expect good fried chicken to be like - crispy and seasoned to the gods. The drinks were delicious as well. would definitely would come back !

Thumbs up on both, particularly the croquettes which were the right balance of gooey and structured enough to eat with the delicious sauce on the side. The cinnamon toast banane was not so much toast as cinnamon rolls with bananas foster; the cinnamon rolls were really tasty and the bananas foster was good, though the bourbon flavor was strong. For my entree, I ordered one of the lighter vegetarian dishes - the mushroom tartine with tomato soup. I think it is one of the lighter dishes - certainly lighter than what my dining companions ordered - but it was still quite rich with a fair amount of gouda fondue in the tomato bisque soup. The mushroom tartine/sandwich was really flavorful with the pesto, cheese and tons of mushrooms. The restaurant is quite large with an upstairs seating area.

I'm absolutely glad I picked it. Walking in, we were greeted with smiles. The house/restaurant was stunning. It was quirky but still had its charm. We were escorted to our table, which was an odd little table halfway up the stairs, away from everyone. We were told that table was meant of anniversaries/intimate events. It felt awkward at first but it ended up being fun people watching and listening in to conversations as people walked by. Colton was our server. He was great. Extremely knowledgeable. He walked us through the menu, offered great suggestions on food and wine, did a proper wine service, and even properly pronounced the region in which the wine was from. Colton definitely made us feel special and gave us an incredible experience. I'll definitely give it to Common Thread. The knowledge in which every staff member presented was incredible. As every person dropped off an item at the table, they accurately described the dish in detail before they walked away. I've been in the restaurant industry for almost 20 years; serving, bartending, and managing numerous different types of restaurants, from casual to fine dining. I've opened up a few restaurants and have been a trainer as well. Common Thread is operating at a high level in terms of the staff's ability. The food: incredible. We started with one of each oyster, and it was insane how much flavor was packed in them. Our first course was also accompanied with the hand roll and the apple beet salad. The hand roll was fantastic. The beet salad felt like it needed some sort of acid/citrus with it, but still had great flavor. Course two was the mushroom cannelloni and the orecchiette. Both were phenomenal. My wife was obsessed with the cannelloni, the butternut squash puree was a perfect accompaniment. The pesto/parmesan foam on the orecchiette was an excellent touch. Course three we went against Colton's suggestion for the pork chop (almost got both, we were stuffed), and got the Ribeye. Great char, cooked perfectly. The peppercorn jus was an excellent topper for it. For dessert, we opted for the sticky toffee pudding. Although it wasn't sticky, the ginger pairing with it was an excellent touch. This is one of the best experiences we've ever had at a restaurant. This will be a staple for us whenever we're back in Savannah and will definitely be asking for Colton again. He is the kind of server I'd like to have at my restaurant. Props to Common Thread, props to Colton.

    This is a must-stop on the culinary tour of Savanah. They are a Michelin-starred experience for the…read moreservice and quality of the food. The greeting from our arrival to seating was prompt and very courteous. We got suggestions from the wait staff and started our experience. They have an extensive cocktail and wine list. We started with a drink called Southern Hospitality and their branded Old Fashioned. Both drinks were exceptional. We accompanied that with Grilled Octopus, which was sensational. Very hard not to make it chewy. Great char and sauce that accompanied it. For entrees, we did the Perloo, an amazing interpretation, and a swordfish. Both dishes were immaculately prepared and perfectly sized. We chose a bottle of Loss and Lehn, something we had never tried before but recommended based on what we had ordered. It matched perfectly with both dishes. We also choose items from the pick 3 menu to accompany our entrees. We finished with the best bread Pudding we have ever had nd french press coffee. The price was very reasonable considering the quality and the service, and should not be missed next time you are in Savanah.

    Well this spot wasn't on my radar and that is too sad. I loved our visit! Wishing I had visited…read moresooner. Our server EA, was warm, engaged & knowledgeable.All We had Caesar salads & also their octopus app. For entrees: hot honey chicken, rainbow trout, vegetarian pasta dish and I had the fabulous smash burger with broccolini on the side. It was all so well executed. I could go back tonight! Their pastry chef is a genius. I mean it. Desserts were spectacular. Banana pudding was my favorite. Please consider Cotton & Rye soon! It doesn't disappoint! One of Savannahs best dining options! WE WILL BE BACK!

    You must come here at least once to experience this food, service and ambiance…read more Elizabeth on 37th is located in a huge old mansion with dining spread out all over the various rooms. We were sat in what I believe used to be a front parlour, by a window over looking the street. We had a dual service with one person being the "main" server, his name was Michael. He was in charge of giving us the spiel and answering our questions. A woman (I forget her name, sorry! But she was lovely) was in charge of running the food and clearing the plates. It was a very well run machine. The menu is pre set, but there were choices on some of the courses, like course where an option was a soft shelled crab - I definitely wanted to take advantage of that! We started off with Biscuits with butter and homemade orange marmalade, these were delightful, so fluffy and soft, and the marmalade was sweet, not bitter like it sometimes can be. The Amuse bouche was a trio of tiny items: a pimento cheese tart, a mussel with chipotle sauce and panko, and a square of salmon with mild wasabi and ginger. The salmon was definitely my favorite. The fifth course had a special as I noted before, so I opted to go for that, it was a soft shell crab with garlic, herbs and a vidalia onion slaw. Topped with peanuts and a white wine sauce. I think my favorite course of them all was the scallops with the carrots and the whipped ricotta - so simple but so delicious! Phenomenal special occasion place or just to cross off your bucket list. If I am in Savannah again (and the likelihood is high, its such an amazing city), I will be back.

It was dimly lit and had a warm, inviting atmosphere and our server was awesome! To start, we all got the cucumber blossom cocktail. I got mine with tequila and the server was very knowledgeable about the drinks and the liquors that would work well with each one. We decided the best route for us was to split 2 apps and 2 entrees. For appetizers, we went with the focaccia and the crispy brussel sprouts. Both were AMAZING! I always love bread to start a meal. And the Brussels were nice and soaked in balsamic glaze, which maybe diminished the "crispy" in the title... but I didn't mind because they were delicious. For our entrees, we went with the gnocchi and the catfish served over grits. I would say the standout was the catfish. The gnocchi was good, but not as good as the other dishes we had. Overall we had a great experience splurging a bit on a nice meal. I would definitely recommend getting a reservation on the weekends. They seemed to be busy!
