Excellent dinner. Shelby walked us through the menu and was attentive. The oysters were excellent! The cornbread delicious (wanted to order a side of that butter, to go!). Mac n cheese and the lamb roti were delicious and the lamb was so tender. Unique decor honoring the original property. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We celebrated a friend's birthday with the $85 dinner set. From other reviews and research, we were told that this restaurant is a hit or miss. The food is good, but not good enough for the price point, especially since we left still a little hungry. We were disappointed that there was nothing special for the birthday, as many upscale restaurants do, especially since it was included in the reservation. My group of 3 tried to order a variety so we could try various menu items. The menu does rotate/change often, but my favorite main course was the chicken option. The fresh oysters were also unique! read more

We were in Savannah for our honeymoon in March of 2026 and so happy to have found The Grey! It was one of our top dining experiences in Savannah. The food was incredible. The service was delightful and our favorite part of the evening was the eating in an old greyhound bus station so much cool vibes, and being able to chat with all of the other Travelers next to us. It was a very community atmosphere! Highly recommend. read more

Not sure where the problem lies, but it took a VERY long time to get both our drinks and our food. I also thought the portions were quite small for the price. Three of us ate two small plates and two large and were not very full, and the large plates are the price of a very filling entree elsewhere. The interior is beautiful but I wouldn't go back. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I've read the negative reviews and was hesitant to come for dinner- but this place blew me away- my husband and I visited Savannah for my birthday and after eating fried food for 3 nights- The Grey is a welcome respite. I ordered the roasted oysters with Serrano peppers- so good- we shared the cornbread and a whole grilled red snapper- WOW- so DELICIOUS ! If I ever visit Savannah again, The Grey will definitely be on my list. The service was superb and the dessert just brought everything together read more

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. read more

From the description, I was intrigued, an interesting, conceptual restaurant at a restored greyhound station, sounds fun. But what I found was a menu hard to follow. I was not alone, everyone in my party felt the same thing - confusion! We overheard 3 other tables nearby expressing the same thing and asking the waiters similar questions. Hard to decide if something is an app or a side and what exactly are the mains options?? Portions were very small and pretentiously described and presented. Left disappointed and hungry? This place needs to rethink what it wants to be. Waitstaff was very nice, pleasant and abundant as was the kitchen staff. Popsicles as palette cleansers - fun, but why? Receipt came with tootsie rolls. Upscale, quirky??? I guess only the pretentious know for sure. Not a fan - too many other great options in Savannah ! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

The Grey - Dinner menu - New American Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

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 ! read more

We popped in for a quick Sunday breakfast before flying home and, although we didn't have reservations, were able to be seated at the counter in the main dining room. The staff is friendly and attentive. Seeing the chicken with hoe cakes come from the kitchen made me green with envy because I ordered an omelette. McDreamy ordered the biscuits and gravy and had neither complaints nor platitudes to give. My omelette was woefully undercooked and slimy inside for explicitly asking for it to be prepared well done. I ate the sides (hash brown, plain greens and a slice of sourdough) and the restaurant comped my meal since the omelette went uneaten. The place has a super hip, old school vibe and is definitely worth checking out. read more

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. read more

We arrived thinking we would be able to order à la carte, but our reservation was for the set menu. It didn't matter because our dinner was delicious. The cocktails were also wonderful. So why 3/5? -Value: everything on the menu was so expensive considering the size of the portions. -Interior: some of the tables and seats are cramped, so it's rather difficult to have a semi-private conversation. We were so close to other diners on both sides, I found it distracting. Something unique about The Grey is whenever one of us left the table (eg, to go to the bathroom), the closest server would grab our napkin, neatly refold it, and place it on the table. Some diners might find this to be a nice touch, but we thought it was a little weird and potentially unsanitary if random servers are also touching other diners' napkins. I don't know, maybe that's just us. With that said, I think The Grey is the type of restaurant everyone should try at least once. I just don't think it's going to be everyone's cup of tea. No knock against The Grey, but we probably won't go out of our way to return, mainly because in Savannah we can probably find a similar experience without spending a ton. read more

My family is from Savannah so I am quite familiar with southern cuisine. My mother mentioned the Grey a few years ago and I thought it would be a great Mother's Day surprise. I was excited to get a reservation. We arrived just as they were opening. We looked at the menu and knew we would get the crab fritters. We try the crab cakes at every restaurant. Sadly, it was so disappointing. The crab fritters were dark (burnt tasting), oily, and bland (the sauce was ok). I doubt much crab was in the dish. It was more breading and over cooked. You might think that we have no taste but I noticed two other tables didn't eat the crab fritters after one bite. I explained to the waiter the issue and we were not charged. Trying to salvage the lunch I asked for the pastries. One was a cinnamon roll and another was a strawberry cake (I don't remember the actual names they gave the pastries). They were warm and something I could get a store. I hope this was an off day but I don't get to see my family often so I won't risk going back. I took mom to Bonefish Grill so she could have some seafood (much better!). read more

I'm a former NYC'r who moved to SAV from Palm Beach. So you know I've seen some pretentious before. But good lord this place takes the cake! "We don't carry captain Morgan and we never will ", Ok so Tito's..... not so fast Mister, we don't carry Tito's either. Oh hell, get me out of here. Between the wanky craft cocktails, off putting menus and old Greyhound decor, only the chic decor wins. The rest.... Gimme a break read more

Firstly, the complete upside is the location, architecture, history and the stunning surroundings. I would definitely stop by for a cocktail in the diner bar next time. Two for dinner at 6PM on a Sunday. Sat at Gate 2. The dinner is Prix Fixe @$85 pp. My meal was leek & potato soup (good but not warm enough); baba ghanoush (very good); chicken country captain (served in a bread trench) - chicken was tasty but very dry and when you end on a 'dry; note its a bummer. We added on the Parker House rolls - delicious. BFF had beets and mole; beef tartare, quail. Enjoyed the meal. All in all, it was a good meal but we would not try the Prix Fix again. The experience was fun but I don't feel like the food was 'wow'. Service was sufficient but not engaging. Ok. I would recommend for the history of it and try the bar instead. read more

Hubby and I along with his brother and our sister-in-law were visiting Savannah for my birthday weekend. We thought The Grey would be a nice place to celebrate. Hubby made reservations for a Saturday night. We started with 2 Old Fashioned cocktails and Parker house rolls. Cocktails were well made and delicious! The rolls were served with softened, salted butter - so delicious! One of the best things we had. I ordered scallops, roasted oysters, and dayboat catch for my 3 course meal. Hubby ordered turnip cakes, diner bar salad, and chicken country captain. I liked everything I ordered. All the seafood was very fresh, the oysters were really delicious, the dayboat catch was flaky and cooked perfectly. Hubby wasn't a huge fan and thought everything was just okay. Since we were celebrating my birthday, they gave us a complimentary dessert of whipped cream and meringue bone cookies. Cute, simple, tasty, and a nice gesture. Overall, pretty good food but pricey for what you get. I enjoyed my meal, however, I probably wouldn't return. read more

A 1938 art deco Greyhound Bus Terminal restored and turned into an elevated southern restaurant. So cool! Everything was delicious. The most standout dish was definitely the crab beignets - absolutely amazingly crunchy, moist, crabby, and a blend of sweet and savory. The fried chicken was also really awesome, using a spice mix that made each flavor pop. My wife loved her eggs Benedict, which appeared perfectly made. Drinks were also fantastic! Every Sunday they serve brunch with live music. Everyone was having fun, even the amazing service. Great atmosphere for a date, family trip, or just an outing with some friends. We loved it. read more

If you're visiting Savannah & can snag a reservation at The Grey - DO IT! This food was amazing. The meal works as a pre-fixe three course setup, and I loved all of my choices. The corn soup was surprisingly flavorful & had great textural elements with the chow chow. The rabbit spatzle was homey (in the best way), crispy, & filled with rabbit. The fish was cooked perfectly with crispy skin. The wine selection was also very good. Service was, as expected, top notch. So many different people touched our table - the sign of a well-staffed restaurant. The staff was also really helpful when we had to adjust our reservation due to cancelled flights. Regarding the ambiance, there's so much to write about the history of the restaurant being an old segregated bus station (hence the name). I would recommend watching one of the many specials on its history to get the full story (Chef's Table on Netflix has the best one in my opinion). Overall, I would highly recommend The Grey - just make sure to make reservations in advance! Food: A+ Drinks: A- Service: A Ambiance: A+ read more

We had an excellent experience and meal! | Food | We went with the tasting menu and really enjoyed it. It is comprised of three courses. For my starter I chose the smoked fish dip and the roasted oysters. The fish dip was the only thing that was just okay; I didn't like the egg sauce that overtook the delicate flavor of the roe. The salad is a proper caesar salad, with white anchovies, the interesting add of chopped cashews, and thick and briny tonnato dressing. For my main I loved the dayboat catch; it was definitely a meal highlight. The fish was perfectly done and fell off my fork, and all the flavors on the plate worked really well together, even the unanticipated turnips mixed in with the potatoes. | Drinks | I ordered the "Kiss" described as milk punch, with bourbon, pumpkin milk and coffee. I was surprised as it didn't resemble anything like a milk punch, nor did I detect the described flavors. (In retrospect I'm not sure it is the cocktail I ordered?) Anyway, the cocktail was delicious with a silky egg white foam on top. My friend had a Sazerac (her favorite whiskey cocktail) and she said it made it in to her "Top 5"! | Service | It wasn't the best starting experience. Just as we got comfy in our seats with waters served and the parker rolls ordered, the manager came over and asked up if we could move to another table...which was unsettling but after a pause he offered "a round of drinks on me". Our parkers rolls still hadn't arrived after our starters were finished so our server said she would check on them. She came back and informed us they were sold out, just as two baskets of them arrived to our first table where guests were seated after us. Disappointing for sure. However, throughout the remainder of our meal she provided excellent service and mid-meal she even procured some of those rolls for us as complimentary. | Atmosphere | I adore a repurposed building and they did a great job with turning an art deco Greyhound bus station into a restaurant retaining all the cool factor. The menu and dishes even had little Greyhound images on them. read more

This one has been on my list for years and it did not dissaponint! First, the building is steeped in history. It is beautifully designed and decorated with a significant nod to its past as a Greyhound Bus Terminal. The staff is also very knowledgable about the builing and so happy to talk with you about it. The food was excellent. Started with oysters from 10 miles away ... like sipping on the ocean. Then enjoyed the $85 tasting menu which offered beautiful choices that felt fresh, southern and really made the food the star. Particularly LOVED the captain chicken. Our server, Will, was also a highlight of the evening. He took great care of us! If I am ever in Savannah again I will be back! Maybe every night! read more

The Grey - New American Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

We saw a story about this place on Sunday Morning News, and decided to check it out while in Savannah because we liked the history and story of it. It's a very cool atmosphere! The way we used to design places and make everything so beautiful never gets tiring to see. Where did we go wrong and decide cheap was better than quality? The service was wonderful and the cocktail was good! The food was good but not great. There are better places to eat in the area, but the history is worth a visit. read more

Service was exceptional. Our server and the team that supported him were friendly, helpful and overall pleasant to be around. The restaurant itself was nice, with lots of interesting history and visually appealing. The food, however, I felt was lackluster at best. I booked on the recommendation of a friend and had I realized that dinner was prix fixe and known the dinner options offered, I would have made another choice. My dinner consisted of small plate of pickled vegetables, followed by a small plate of Savannah red rice and the entree was a fried quail with roasted eggplant. All of this for $85. The red rice was good, but that was about it. I left feeling underwhelmed and still quite hungry. I know lots of people like The Grey based on the reviews, but I was really disappointed and felt the price for dinner they asked didn't reflect the value I got. If someone suggests The Grey next time I'm in Savannah, I'll politely pass. read more

Due to not making a reservation we sat in the bar area. But the service was great and the food was great.

We visit The Grey on every trip to Savannah. Why? We could easily highlight the food quality, service and ambiance. Those are what Yelp wants reviews to talk about. Many reviews will mention these because they are top notch at The Grey. Beyond that, they have a certain attention to detail that likely goes unnoticed by most; food preparation and delivery. I'm not a chef and have never worked in a kitchen, but have held a Safe Serve Restaurant Manager's license. Seeing their kitchen staff and servers follow the rules to the letter means that we can trust them. We can trust they'll cook to the right temperatures, wash their hands, and follow hundreds of small procedures that lead to not only a fantastic dining experience but a safe and healthy one. I won't go into all of those kinds of details, but will share a small one from March 20, 2026. I have a mint allergy. A second server came to the table to deliver my meal separately, ensuring there was no contact with other dishes. (It is advised by the National Restaurant Association that a meal for someone with an allergy should be delivered separately.) This is the only restaurant we've visited in Savannah that has made that extra effort. The Grey goes above and beyond. Well done! We'll see you again soon! read more

Owners gonna get mad at this review. She already accused me of writing two reviews before, but that was the two parties who tried to eat here. The owner responded saying they would reach out to the other party, misspelled her name, and never actually reached out. Just like when they sat us for our reservation. They didnt actually provide service. Waiter took 30 minutes. Table next to us got turned over with new folks while we didnt even get water. Manager will come see us they said. Never came. Lies upon lies. What a damn shame. I feel for the employees, as she is probably a terrible owner as she is a liar. read more

2nd time to eat here and again had a great meal. We were seated within 5 minutes of our reservation and were promptly welcomed by our server. The cornbread was very good served in a hot skillet. The beets and mole salad was quite tasty and the leek and potato was delicious. (It could have been more warm) The quail and farro was prepared well. The Savannah Red Rice is a simple dish and flavorful but the portion could have been a little larger. Our cocktails were well prepared. The apple dessert was good but nothing special.

What a memorable birthday dinner for my out-of-town BFF! From the impeccable service, beautiful ambiance and scrumptious food, The Grey should be at the top of your list, and not just for a special occasion. To start with, there was a handwritten birthday card on the table, signed "The Grey Team," which was so thoughtful. Then our server Mary came to the table, wished my friend a Happy Birthday and said she knows my friend has a shellfish allergy and so, to make it easy to know what to order, she'll take the menu to the chef to mark off those dishes that contain shellfish. Wow! I've never known a restaurant to (1) ask whether you have any food allergies when making the reservation and (2) actually relay that to the server the night of the dinner. How impressive! The food was incredible! I had the Dayboat Catch, which was red snapper with red rice middlins, shrimp and bacon. My friend ordered the Butterbean Falafel with tahini, eggplant, tomato and mint. Both were absolutely delicious. The palette cleaners before dessert was a nice touch. Love The Grey and think you will, too. read more

I have been wanting to eat here since I saw Chef Bailey featured on chef's table on Netflix. I was captivated by her personal connection to her family food culture that existed in Savannah as a child. I have been constantly watching the menu because it changes often with exception for this current menu, I was not aware of before I went. I was disappointed that there wasn't really any southern dish choices. I really loved how she would describe her versions of southern traditional foods on previous menus. My friend made the reservation and we had a 730 seating this past Thursday night . The restaurant was filled to capacity the entire time we were there from seven-ish until after 10. We ordered several plates: chicken, meatballs, smashed potatoes, oysters, and the peanut melon gazpacho. We also tried two different cocktails and had a red wine flight. Our server, Maya was so personable and attentive in every way. Like many service workers they are students. It was exciting to hear about her passions and be able to develop rapport with her. I was especially impressed with the Paul policy this restaurant that everybody runs food to the table so that no food sits cold. So we had two other servers that we interacted with as well and they were super awesome and all young students. I never tried the wine on the menu and was curious about it to have that with my dessert and young woman who brought my friends was able to get me a little sipper of the Madeira wine to try it before I ordered it. My friend ordered the incredibly delicious gin drink I had three different types of gin. I ordered a Cosmo and Madera wine and together we ordered the red wine flight and the Croatian was our favorite. Cosmo was a standard Cosmo. I really love how creative the menu is laid out by unique organization. Like the gazpacho came off the dirt menu because of the peanuts and then so did the mashed potatoes. The gazpacho was our favorite part of the meal. It was plated at our table by the server, which to me always makes you feel like you have an elevated experience. Our next course was the oysters from Washington state. I did not want to partake in the Massachusetts Duxbury oysters as they were described as being briny the Washington state oysters varieties. They were really delicious small and delicate. It was really fine to have this dropper bottle mixed with seasoning and vinegar to drizzle on each oyster. I would've loved to have seen a presentation at the table with describing its use and how many drops to use, etc. and in more detail about what's in the bottle. We split an order of chicken meatballs, but added one more to have four. These meatballs were not plated with any artistry they were just for meatballs in a bowl. There was no sauces or other things to accompany the meatballs to us. They were a one note dish. Our side was the smashed potatoes . The sour cream and chive sauce that comes on the smashed potatoes was insanely delicious but the smash potatoes were just served on a dish like family style no particular plating just in a bowl. I was surprised that there was no bread service. I thought the service was excellent from everybody involved. I love how what seem like the house manager who came by and folded that my companions napkin so beautifully and placed next to her plate while she went to the bathroom. Staff was always coming over and asking if we could clear the dishes as we used them. I purposely sat so I could face the entire restaurant because that was one of the main reasons. I also wanted to go was to see the architecture of the building-inside and out. it's absolutely stunning. For some reason there is fluctuations with the lighting and the vaulted ceiling a few times a night. The bathrooms were really beautiful, and the bar area is so pretty too. I was sad that none of the neon was working on the exterior of the building. I would say I was definitely expecting to be more wowed but the food was super super simple. I definitely think the food pricing would have enabled us to have more bespoke spins on some of the dishes. I totally understand simplicity and rustic and allowing the ingredients to speak for themselves, but it's always fun to have for example the oyster concoction in the glass dropper bottle. I would say overall the ambience was number one for me. Service was just as amazing, but I had some higher expectations for having my pallet experience more uniqueness. I would say the best surprise were the thrills at the end of our meal. It took me straight back to the Netflix episode about chefs Bailey's childhood. I was super thrilled to get to try it! We spent $188 for two people . read more

This is only a bar rating, but it was a good experience. Really cool building. Nice bartenders. Dynamite oysters. Decent whiskey selection. Would come back. Only gripe is they don't open until 5p sharp. Like hey man I want a beverage at 330 or 430 in a touristy town. At least open the bar! read more
