    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    In Savannah on business, we stopped into the Grey for a last-minute birthday dinner. It's called the Gret because it's an old Greyhound Bus Terminal, and they kept the art deco finishes intact. And the food is fantastic! We started with the Roasted Oysters (charred scallion butter, spicy peanut sauce, serrano) and Winter Salad (kale & arugula, mustard seed, chestnut miso, pumpkin seed). The Roasted Oysters puts any Oyster Rockefeller I've ever had to deep shame! And the salad got me to eat kale willingly, that's how good it was. Then we got the Whole Grilled Fish (2-lb Red Snapper, salsa verde, charred citrus, mashed potato) - holy cow, this was good. Soft, delicate fish with hints of salsa verde and citrus flavor, each bite was divine. And with dessert, they brought out a birthday card and a special bone-shaped meringue. A fun and delicious evening at the Grey! If you're ever in Savannah, the Grey should be the very first restaurant to visit on your list. Can't wait to go back there soon!

    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.

    Dinner menu

    A lifetime top dining experience. We inadvertently made a reservation for the first night of a la carte dining (rather than the pre fixe menu they had been running for the last year and a half), so the menu was a bit of a surprise but the chefs absolutely delivered. We sat at the bar in the main dining room, which allowed for casual conversation with the fantastic bartender/server. With placemats embossed with the greyhound logo and the warm lighting over the art deco detail, the ambiance is elevated but so welcoming. We started with the Leek and Potato Soup (smoked fingerling potato, crispy leeks, parsley oil) So creamy and flavorful, without being heavy. We paired it with the Cornbread with Sugar Rush Butter, which was sweet and a tad spicy, though I think the Parker House Rolls would complement the soup dish better as a more neutral bread. The Winter Salad (kale & arugula, pomegranate, chestnut miso, smoked apple) was both delicious and a testament to the attention of the staff and kitchen. The kitchen sent it out complimentary while they took the extra time and effort to fry my food in separate fryer with clean oil to accommodate my seafood allergy. I quickly learned the salad is not to be skipped. Tart, fresh, and crunchy, it's a plate I could eat every day without growing tired of it. The Flounder Crudo was the perfect fish dish. Balanced with the acid and the stability of the flounder, it really made me think about what goes into a truly delicious fish dish. Fried Bon Bon (habanero syrup, crispy sage, farmer's cheese) squash dish was a standout. With the maple flavor of the syrup and tempura-style squash, the dish blended sweet and savory in perfect harmony. The dough evoked funnel-cake nostalgia. The Grilled Quail with Farro was crispy, juicy, and tender. The red wine glaze added a sweet flavor profile to the bird, and the farro brought a nutty warmth to the dish. Lamb Roti (smoky pepper sauce, fingerling potato, chow chow tzatziki) was great for a rainy winter evening in Savannah. The tzatziki had a slight sweetness that rounded out the richness of the lamb. It was perfect for sharing, but would have felt a bit heavy on its own as a main. To cap off the evening, we were brought a Lemon Lavender Popsicle palette cleanser. The flavor profile was spot on, and it made the meal feel absolutely complete. With our stomachs at capacity, we barely glanced at the dessert menu. For next time, we heard the mashed potatoes are amazing. And the whole fish is a well developed dish that can easily be devoured by one person. We eagerly await our next chance to dine at The Gray.

    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 !

    Black Forest pudding
    Matt M.

    Had Sunday brunch during our anniversary weekend visit to Savannah. I was excited for this meal and they did not disappoint. Everything from the friendly anniversary card as a welcome to the fun and thoughtful dessert was excellent. We enjoyed the cool jazz/blues/my grandpa's playlist vibes being put down by the live 3-piece band. We truly enjoyed our cocktails (my wife said her Bloody Mary could have been spicier - a her thing). And we thoroughly enjoyed our meals - biscuits and gravy and the duck pastrami. If you enjoy duck, just don't even think. Order it. The potatoes were incredible and the side of greens was a welcome light compliment to the hearty duck that you're absolutely going to order because some dude on Yelp raved about it. All around a great experience.

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!
