The Olde Pink House delivers! We were here 16 years ago and had a wonderful time. We came again and were equally impressed. The service by our waitress Kristen, who was also the sommelier, was top notch. She gave us great wine recommendations for the choices we made. She also gave us a picture of what was on the menu. We ordered the She Crab soup and BLT. The fried green tomatoes sold me on the Pink House's version of a deconstructed BLT. The biscuits are great for dipping not just a snack so be sure you help clean the plate with them. Yum. I ordered the Vidalia onion and Sweet potato ravioli with oyster mushrooms with pecans. It was the best thing between my wife and I. She had the fried flounder with a side of asparagus. Whole fish without the head. I thought the fish was delicious. Paired with the Reisling Kabinett, while the Pinot Noir Argyle went well with the Ravioli. For dessert I had the Pecan Basket. The vanilla with fruit in a pecan weave held the whole dessert together. The raspberry peach sorbet was delicate and sweet. Both desserts hit the spot along with the coffee to finish up the night. The light, tables, paintings and decorations were perfect for a romantic evening with your special someone or dinner with the family to celebrate a special occasion. Whatever the case, this visit capped a great weekend in Savannah and Tybee.
Came to The Olde Pink House with a coworker for dinner and tried to make a reservation but it was booked up. They do have a notification option if a table opens up, which is nice. We decided to do a walk in and was quickly seated at the bar which has the full menu. The location is great and it's within walking distance of a lot of the other shops, restaurants, and bars. The building is really beautiful and has so much history. Downstairs has a cool dark and gloomy old vault with a full bar, has individual rooms, and there was a piano player and singer while we were there. The atmosphere was definitely my favorite part. The drinks at the downstairs bar were just okay. I ordered the Pink Lady and thought it tasted a little watered down. The food was delicious but portions are a little small. I ordered the shrimp and grits, which was an appetizer, along with the crab cake and fried green tomatoes. Those two filled me up. The shrimp and grits came with five shrimp, but they were tasty. The crab cake was also really good, while the fried green tomatoes were okay. My coworker ordered the chicken pot pie and really enjoyed it. Our server was incredibly friendly and personable, and we really enjoyed talking with him. The manager also came by and chatted with us and told us the story behind why it's called the olde Pink House. Overall, the food was good, the service was exceptional, and the history and decor make this place worth visiting. Even if you can't get a reservation, I'd still recommend stopping by as a walk in at the bar area or checking it out the downstairs Tavern bar area.
The Olde Pink House is a must for visiting Savannah. Yes, it gets a lot of flack for being touristy, but it is a fun location with good food. I recently visited for my birthday and had a great time. The food is delicious, and the house is fun for history buffs. While the food is slightly on the pricier side, it's not outrageous. I had the Pan-Seared Salmon, and my mom got the Pecan Crusted Chicken. The food also comes with amazing biscuits. If you like Raspberry Lemonade, order the Pink Lady drink. The service is also perfect. After dinner, we were able to walk around and see some areas of the house which were really cool. We enjoyed it, and I would love to visit again.
This is an amazing venue. The feeling of each room is different and nostalgic. The main upstairs dining room, with the ornate molding and chandeliers, is stunning, the downstairs bar is moody and has a speakeasy feel. We had the special of stuffed grouper, friend chicken, pecan crusted salmon, and the chicken pot pie. The biscuits were insanely delicious. Drinks were strong. Everything's worth the $$$ splurge. The only complaint we had which was a mistake that the server explained and apologized for, was when they put in the table. The order didn't go through because they assigned to the wrong table or didn't hit submit so we did wait a little bit for our food. But the restaurant made up for it. And our server was completely apologetic.
Such a beautiful ambiance for lunch on a Friday! We had the She Crab Soup, Blue Crab Beignets, Shrimp and Grits, and the Crab Cake. Our favorites were the Beignets and the Shrimp and Grits! The cocktails were also 10/10. The only thing I'd say is that the service was a little slow, but everyone was very welcoming and kind. We will definitely be back, and definitely recommend for anyone visiting Savannah and craving some good southern food!
Very stunning interior - it's a MANSION with like 13 dining rooms. Really beautiful. The food was good but I wasn't blown away. And we came here specifically for the biscuits, and they told us their biscuit oven had broken so no biscuits :( the drinks were good, I don't remember what I got lol. I ordered the pecan crusted chicken - very tasty! A few of my friends got the chicken pot pie and said it was delicious. We requested the singer stop by our table but she never did, bummer but maybe she had too many other requests that night. Also we heard the peach cobbler was phenomenal BUT OF COURSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THAT EITHER! This place is worth a visit one time for the mansion but I wouldn't return a second time.
3rd time here in a few years. We always request to be seated in the basement. The vibe is super cool. All candlelight and dark, takes a few minutes for your eyes to adjust. Service from Sara was impeccable. She was very personable, knowledgeable & professional. We had appetizer of seafood egg rolls. Very yummy with a remoulade sauce. I had seafood fettuccine. It was very tasty but a little skimpy on the seafood. It had 4 small shrimp & 3 good sized scallops. Hubby had the special of blue crab stuffed grouper with ricotta & bread crumbs with lemon berre blanc sauce. It was over mashed potatoes & green beans. The best part of the meal was the biscuits they brought before dinner. I've never had any better. I ordered an extra one, delicious. Whenever in Savannah it's a great experience.
If The Olde Pink House is somewhere you want to eat at reservations are a must! We tried making reservations online but said they were full so we tried calling at it was so hard to hear the person on the other end of the phone so we opted for walking and getting a reservation in person. Even with our reservations at 9pm at night the place was still busy with people coming and going. The food we ordered was delicious and came out in a timely manner. The only complaint we had was that where we were sat had very little lighting so it was hard to read the menus but otherwise the place was so fun and the energy was high!
The Olde Pink House was the perfect way to wrap up our first day in Savannah. First of all, it's a big beautiful pink house. All the vibes as you walk in. It's dark and cozy and so historic. We were seated in the best little nook on the lower level, just off the bar. We could hear the live music trickle in as we enjoyed dinner. The food was amazing, from start to finish. The drinks were some of the best we've ever had. We had the best service from the bartender at the bar while we waited for our table to be ready to our server - who was full of recommendations and suggestions. We had a little bit of everything, sharing the crab cakes, mac and cheese poppers, she crab soup, spring rolls. For our main course, we had the salmon and the pork tenderloin. Everything was full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. We wish we would have had room for dessert, but our dinner was too filling. This is the perfect place and we will be back!
The charm and history of this building is something to see even before you eat or drink anything. Started downstairs in the bar, dark, moody vibes, very busy on a Friday night. Oh and just FYI, you need to make reservations for the restaurant way in advance, it's beyond popular. Time for dinner, we got seated in a beautiful room that was once a bedroom. Food-you start with a complimentary basket of the most delectable biscuits. These biscuits were the best we've tried so far. (This was biscuit #4 in three days, lol). My girlfriends and I had the following: filet mignon, substituted for the bacon buttermilk whipped potatoes. Steak was cooked to perfection, cut like butter, potatoes were yummy. Fried pork chop with a side of Mac & cheese. My friend said it was delicious and not overcooked, enjoyed the Mac & cheese. Pecan crusted chicken-cooked just right, side of collard greens, very delicious. Our server was amazing, I think her name is Brianna, sorry if I got the name wrong. I give this restaurant a 10/10. If I ever return to Savanna, this will be a must do.
The Olde Pink House was recommended as a staple in Savannah and a must see. The restaurant is made up of multiple rooms, large and small, simply decorated, with chandeliers and paintings galore. The food itself was uninspiring. Expensive for three small sushi pieces that had shrimp and grits come a small sampling inside. The Mac and cheese jalapeño poppers had no Mac, no jalapeño, but filled with cheese. And did not look anything like the pictures that we had seen previously. You get three. Very disappointed, especially for the price that you pay, guess we're helping to light the chandeliers. The gin cocktail, was very light, very uninspired, could hardly taste the alcohol and full of ice. We can say we've been there. Wouldn't go back.
We were told that we needed to visit The Olde Pink House during our trip to Savannah and I'm happy I followed the suggestion. We popped in to the lower level Tavern at the end of our evening out for a nightcap and it was a perfect end to a perfect day. We were seated immediately at the bar where we were greeted by 2 friendly bartenders! We each ordered a cocktail and shared an order of fried green tomatoes, which were crispy and tasty, but not the Southern classic we were expecting. Definitely a modern twist and enjoyable. The atmosphere was what one would envision as being from the late 1800's: heavy dark timbers, low-ceilings and cozy. The pianist playing "rat pack" classics and show tunes gave a 50's/60's piano bar vibe--- my favorite part!!
The Olde Pink House is a Savannah staple, oddly enough, it took me over 5 years to finally go. It can be extremely hard to secure a reservation here, but if you're able to go, do it! I'll preface by saying the vibe was interesting. There's a woman that sitios by tables to sing, which I didn't particularly like. The house itself gives off pre civil war vibes... so take that as you will. Nothing strange or offensive happened to me, it was the energy. Now to the meal. Our waiter was great. We ordered wine to go with our food and started with the biscuits and some oysters of the half shell. Delish! My husband ordered the scorched flounder and I got the fried lobster tails. Amazing flavors, and we were stuffed. The Olde Pink House is on the pricier side, but there's attention to the detail in the meals that match the price. There is an elevator inside, which is good since the stairs are a bit steep, and there are so many places to sit with a different feel.

If you are visiting Savannah, The Olde Pink House is a must! 18th century mansion that has endured fires, the War of 1812 and the Civil War which included being a Union HQ! The historic mansion was built for James Haversham, Jr in 1771 and completed in 1789. It has gone through several major restorations throughout its history. We were fortunate to get a reservation for lunch. Our server, Jessica was so welcoming and informative with not just the menu but the basic history of the house. Food was fantastic! The Southern Fried Chicken with gravy over mashed potatoes is incredible. Hubby had the crab bisque, crab cakes with a side of mac and cheese. He also chose key Lime pie for dessert. I tasted and yum! If you visit The Olde Pink House, do not leave without your self guided tour! There are dining rooms upstairs in addition to the main level and their famous Tavern in the basement level. Interested in ghost stories here? They got 'em. Jessica, our server described the Tavern as "creepy " Favorable yelp average with over 6.9K reviews. Go ahead, bucket list this place. :) read more
We stopped in Savannah for just one night while passing through, and aside from completely falling in love with the city itself, dinner at The Olde Pink House was the perfect cherry on top, or should I say, the perfect delicious biscuit on top, of our quick stay. First, the setting is absolutely beautiful. You're dining inside this gorgeous historic pink mansion, and you can feel the history and richness of the energy throughout the space. There is something so special about being there. It feels like an experience before you even get to the food. And speaking of those biscuits, they were genuinely some of the best biscuits I have ever put in my mouth. I could have eaten an entire basket by myself. We started with the goat cheese artichoke fritters, which were delicious. I also had the Low Country she-crab soup, and heavenly is really the only word for it. Rich, creamy, flavorful, just incredible. For dinner, I had the pecan-crusted chicken breast with blackberry bourbon glaze, sweet potato with pecan vanilla butter, and string beans. It was so, so good. Every part of the plate worked beautifully together, and it was exactly the kind of Southern meal I was hoping to have while in Savannah. The service was fantastic, and throughout the evening we heard beautiful live music from some amazing singers. Between the historic setting, the incredible food, the hospitality, and the music, the entire evening felt truly special. Bravo to everyone who works there and makes this place what it is. What an exceptional experience. I genuinely cannot wait to go back. read more

Overall, it was good. Very dark lighting for ambiance. Service was very slow and we were there for over 2 hours and chose to opt out of dessert. I think our waiter was just over chatty on explaining the menu, history and wine to each table he had, which made it hard to get more wine and water and our bill. Food was just ok. The biscuit was great though! read more
Flounder (5/5): Tricky to eat because of all the bones but very tasty. The crispy skin was great, and the sauce was sweet and sour. The meat was more firm than flaky and I liked that texture. The collard greens and grits were decent. Complimentary Buttermilk Biscuits (5/5): Phenomenal biscuits that were buttery, soft, and moist. The buttermilk added a sweetness that I really enjoyed. Shrimp spring rolls (4/5): Thin crispy shell. Loved that it was just meat inside. The Italian sausage and seafood was a unique flavor combo. Fettuccine (4/5): Surprisingly large portion size. The pasta itself had an ok texture but the flavors of the dish worked really well. I especially liked the sweetness of the shrimp that cut through the rich cream sauce. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more
The staff here is impeccable. Friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Everyone we encountered was professional and went out of their way to be helpful. The drinks were excellent. I am not ashamed to admit that I really liked my wife's Pink Lady. My old fashioned was nicely unusual. The she crab was so good! And the BLT salad was also enjoyable. My shrimp and grits were a bit unusual - the grits were basically like a French toast. But I liked it!! Only thing I would change is - pass on the fried green tomatoes appetizer. It was good but you get fried green tomatoes in pretty much every other dish. Highly recommended as a lunch if you want to celebrate or just treat yourself. And Carmen - you were great!! read more
The Olde Pink House was recommended by a good friend from IL. We are here from AZ for a few days, so my husband made a lunch reservation. Our server, Carmen was so pleasantly helpful when choosing our dishes and checking to see if we were happy or needed anything. We split a few appetizers. We had the Low Country She Crab Soup, Fried Green Tomato w/Smoked Bacon & Sweet Corn Cream, and the BLT salad. For drinks my husband had an Old Fashion and I had the Pink Lady. There was so much flavor in our dishes. The Pink Lady was sooo good, but it is a sweet drink (pink lemonade w/raspberry vodka). The dishes are not oversized, but just right. We wanted to try the dishes we read about online. We split our appetizers and ordered off the lunch main dishes. For the main lunch dish, my husband had the Shrimp and grits with collard greens. He does not like collard greens, but he did these!! He said if all collard greens tasted like this, he'd eat more of them. The cheese grits were great too. I had the crab cake, which is the size of a green tomato. The crab cake was in between two fried green tomatoes and topped with a green remoulade. It was served with fries, but you can change it for something else. It is a bit pricey at $24.95. I feel it should have been the price of the appetizers. We enjoyed our server,Carmen, the dishes, our drinks, and the ambience of the Olde Pink House. It's pretty pricy $$, but we enjoyed it. read more
What an amazing dinner experience! The Olde Pink House certainly lives up to the hype! From the ambience, service, and food everything was absolutely top-notch. Dinner at The Olde Pink House feels less like a meal and more like stepping into a piece of living history. Built in 1771, this iconic blush-colored mansion was originally the home of James Habersham Jr., one of Georgia's early leaders and yes, you can feel that old-world Southern charm the moment you walk in. Each room has its own personality, from elegant candlelit dining spaces upstairs to the cozy, almost secretive vibe of the basement tavern. It's the kind of place where you don't just sit down to eat, you want to explore. The food leans heavily into elevated Southern classics. Think rich shrimp and grits, perfectly cooked fried chicken, and their famous pecan-crusted fish. Every dish my group shared was absolutely delicious with generous portions and well executed flavors. My grouper was divine. Drinks were strong without being overbearing. One of the coolest details? The house is rumored to be haunted, and the staff will casually share stories if you ask. Our server Briana was able to give us an entire narrative on all the interesting rooms and details of the house. You can tell history is a passion of hers. Definitely request her! She is a gem! We spent a good portion of our post dinner just exploring the other rooms and stumbled upon the underground bar and cellar. Everything felt like more than just a dinner, it was certainly an experience. 100 out of 10 recommended. read more
We did not have a reservation but came later in the evening, customer service is amazing! They helped show me the handicap friendly route for my grandparents. They had live music in the basement and so much history! Our server was so so knowledgeable. We were not overly impressed by any of the food which has a steeper price but the experience is very cool. read more

First things first. If you want to eat here, you need to plan ahead and make reservations (unless of course you want to go at an off time or really late). We were there for a conference and luckily someone made a Friday night reservation months in advance. It's funny that an Uber driver for one person in the party commented to not eat here because it's a tourist trap. Well I'm glad that we ate here. The service was awesome and the food and cocktails were great. Was it pricy? I'd say slightly but given the great service, great food, and great cocktails, it was a good value. I'm not sure if this is an every night occurrence but there was a female singer roaming the floor also. She had a booming voice. We were in a semi-private room and she came in to check in on us a few times which was really nice. I had a Bloody Mary and it was really good with a good amount of heat and generous vegetables. For dinner, I ordered the Crab Stuffed Grouper special. The portion size was good and it sat atop mashed potatoes alongside green beans. My plate was clean! Several people ordered the shrimp and scallop fettuccine and like my plate, those plates were also clean. It would have been nice to stay for dessert but most folks were stuffed so we decided to end the evening there. read more
I arrived at 5 PM right when they opened on a Thursday night. Single diner and I wanted to sit at the bar, no one else was there yet so I had my pick of seats. Richard introduced himself and provided me a menu. They have a large selection of cocktails, high-end liquors, beers, and wines. I started with a spicy jalapeño margarita, later during my meal I had a glass of Pinot Grigio. Richard was quite attentive even when the bar got busier. Their menu is reflective of the coastal South and pricing matches that of a tourist location. I got a mix green salad with goat cheese fritter for dinner and an order of the cornmeal crusted fried oysters. Richard also brought me the most amazing housemade biscuit with butter. I would go back just for the biscuits. Everything tasted great. The service was fantastic. I would certainly eat here again. If you are wanting to sit in the dining room at a table, I would suggest a reservation. read more
Made reservations for The Olde Pink House for lunch while visiting. The inside looks amazing. Old time house with multiple rooms and dining areas in each one. Feels very unique and welcoming. The staff are very kind and welcoming. The experience does feel special and more grand than a standard restaurant lunch. The food was good. The crab beignets were especially good. Our food did seem to take a rather long time to come out as the lunch itself took almost 2 hours by the time we left. It's a special place so expect to pay a premium but they'll treat you well while you're there. read more

Had a nice day visit the Historic District and stopped in for lunch. We were celebrating our anniversary, and decided the Olde Pink House was a great choice. The servers offered us a few different choices for tables. They had a table in the main upstairs dining room and we were escorted upstairs. The mansion is stunning and really makes you look around amazed. After we were seated Jaden came by to talk to us, and take drink orders. We tried the Pork Nachos, as per Jaden's recommendation. So delicious! Next up was the Shrimp and Grits and the Fish of the Day Sandwich. The shrimp and grits had such a beautiful presentation. The grits were a grit cake, with the shrimp on top, with collard greens on the side. Amazing flavor, so delicious. The fish sandwich was delicious. I had mahi mahi with a flavorful dressing, and a side of spinach. The mahi was huge and perfectly cooked on a tasty brioche roll. Since we were celebrating our anniversary we decided on dessert. Before our dessert came, they brought a candlestick to the table. Nice touch. We had the Peanut Butter and Praline Mousse bombe. Outstanding! So rich and delicious. We had the Key Lime Pie with fresh whipped cream. So yummy. Jaden suggested we take a look around the mansion before we left. We looked at different dining rooms, the bar area, and the basement. So interesting! If you want to explore the house, get down to the basement to look around at all the wine, the bar area, and the atmosphere. So incredible and fun. Thanks for a memorable experience. Certainly will not forget it, and will definitely come back for another time when we are in Savannah again. 5 Stars read more

Our server was so nice and made great recommendations. The biscuits were unreal, maybe some of the best we have had. The salmon dish was so good, I want to drive back to eat it again. The horseradish on it was amazing. The dessert with ice cream and pralines was also so good. Definitely a great romantic dinner spot. We loved the candlelight room, and enjoyed the comfy atmosphere. There was also live jazz music and they were playing a few dolly parton songs. What more could you ask for, honestly. read more
This place is legendary for a reason. Yes. Pricey. But worth every single penny and every single bite. The ambiance is so perfect, it's quietly elegant without being stuffy, the wait staff is professionally trained and then management equally so. Nothing gets past them. And the food. Well. There's not much to be said about it other than each course kept getting better than the next! Definitely worth a splurge when in Savannah, but reserve early! (Oh, do avoid the crevice tho, that was a miss) read more

After so many outstanding reviews saying this is a must stop restaurant in Savannah, somewhat disappointed in our first meal of the trip. Our server Wendy was excellent but the food fell short. Drinks were great, we tried the planters punch and pink lady. For apps we got the low country she crab soup and the crab cakes, both delicious and also the homemade biscuits- chefs kiss, perfect! The entrees we ordered the filet mignon and special stuffed grouper, but a long lag of probably 30 mins between apps and entree was unexpected. Our server apologized but once food came out both were more room temp than hot off the stove sadly. Based on their prices and difficulty getting reservations you would expect a lot more as far as food quality, timing and temperature. The experience left a lot to be desired. The nail in the coffin was looking down and seeing a roach sneak by, I couldn't eat any more food after. read more
Stopped in as soon as they opened at 11: 00AM for lunch, which our friend who lives close by said that's the first time he's actually made it in. For dinner, all those dining rooms in the pictures get filled! As elegant and beautiful on the inside as the front of that historical negatives on the outside. Food was excellent and service was impeccable. Drinks were tasty without being overdone or too sweet. All in all a great experience and our friend who lives close by was happy to get in for the first time even though he's lived 100 mi away for 5 years! read more

We had a fantastic dinner at The Olde Pink House! Vanessa was our waitress, and she was absolutely awesome--friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience even better. The chicken-fried lobster was excellent. The butter beans and collard greens were outstanding, and the cheddar grits were out of this world! The sweet potato ravioli was also very good. The fish special was good, although it tasted a little fishy for our preference. Dessert was a great finish to the meal. We were able to eat downstairs in the basement, which was such a treat given the history of the building. The atmosphere, food, and service made it a memorable Savannah experience. Definitely a five-star meal! read more

Wow. I really don't need to say more! Went there by friend's recommendation during a day trip to Savannah, and we easily spent 2 hours there. Food is amazing!! We had to order seconds of those delicious crab beignets! Green fried tomatoes, salads, fish, fried chicken.. everything our party had was prepared with love. Service by Emoni was impeccable!! She was knowledgeable and sweet. Great job and wear that smile proudly young lady. It suits you!! One of the hosts gave us a tour of the basement (that wasn't open yet. They open at 5pm and have live music there. Yes please!!!) soooo much history!! Overall, it's a staple worth visiting. 100%!!! read more
I treated myself to lunch at The Old Pink House and it was simply wonderful. From the moment I walked in the staff couldn't have been nicer or more welcoming. My server was a very knowledgeable young man named Jaden and he helped me decide on a few things ..and his recommendations were spot on! I got the BLT salad and the pulled pork nachos and found that I was nodding my head and saying "yes" in my mind with each wonderful bite. The ambiance was super welcoming and though the dining area is formal do not hesitate to stop in and enjoy some real culinary delights even if you are wearing sneakers. read more

One of Savannah's tradition is The Olde Pink House. Built in the 18th century - this house serves today as a restaurant. Originally this home served as a colonial mansion, with most rooms today serving as dining spaces. Staff is nice and friendly, and although reservations are preferred, we walked in without one and got seated promptly. Restaurant has a great deal of wines, cocktails on the menu as well as beers. Food is typically southern! Think shrimp, crab, fish, pot pies and local salad offerings. Deserts are also good with pecan pie, key lime pies... All in all a fantastic place!!!! read more
As an lifelong avid patron of local restaurants, no matter where I travel, I encounter a plethora of dining establishments. For the life of me, I can't grasp any experience at the Olde Pink House as anything less than special. First, our server Brianna was excellent. In addition to her attentiveness, she never hesitated at getting answers to questions in which she didn't have expertise. Her manager, Justin, Aldo made multiple table visits to ensure our dining experience was exceptional. The food was outstanding, both my wife's salmon and my grouper. Perfectly cooked, with balanced textures and flavors. Our blackened oyster appetizer was also excellent. Even their biscuits were among the best I ever had. The wine list is not as extensive as other restaurants of similar class, but its diversity exceeded many of those others. Having access to a Spanish voldeorras was a real treat! On our next visit we plan on dining in the historic basement tavern. The candlelit walls and tables appear to take it back in time. As a side note to gentleman diners, if you're not comfortable in a tie maybe you can at least find a shirt with a collar. And maybe leave the ball caps at home. Dress for the environment, man!! read more

Ask the Community - The Olde Pink House
What is the best dining area for dinner for 2? Do they have live music? If so, what days and time?
The 'cellar bar for a cozy throwback old time feel. A second floor dining room if you want to feel catered to and cared for.
We are traveling through and only packed jeans. Would we be too casual?
You can wear jeans
Is there a kids menu?
They don't have a paper one, but the server can tell you options. I believe my kids had Mac and cheese and chicken tenders.
Has anyone had Thanksgiving Dinner here? Is it a fixed menu or do they offer the regular menu? We have made reservations and it's our Anniversary so we're really looking forward to this with our young adult Marine grandson. TYIA
The best thing to do is to call and ask. 912-232-4286 Happy Anniversary!
Can anyone tell me the days/times the piano player is in the tavern downstairs?
Just give The Pink House a call at 912-232-4286
Can I get in to the restaurant if I'm in a wheelchair?
Jim’s Accessibility Comments: Use side entrance on E. Saint Julian St near Arches Bar where there is…
Are bar seats first come, first serve or are reservations also required for those seats?
They are first come, first served. No larger than a group of 4 is what i was told
How do I get a reservation downstairs at the tavern in the little wine room?
I'm sure you can call the restaurant and request downstairs. Do it soon though because they get booked up pretty fast.
What time do you need to be in line to go to the basement?
It varies by time/day. We went on a Thursday night. We had a dinner reservation for 8:30pm and arrived early at 7:00pm. We put our name in at the bar. We had a seat at the bar by 7:30pm, and they brought us from the bar over to the table when the…
Do you need reservations?
Yes. Book reservations weeks-months in advance, especially if on the weekend. Use OpenTable.
Which room is best to be seated at for lunch reservation?
Try to be upstairs in the main dining area; avoid the basement if you can--it's just a bit dark and gloomy. That said, this place is so good, I would take any table in any room they would give me, including eating at the bar if that is all they…
Do you have experiences with how helpful they are with allergies? I'm looking for Gluten and Corn free options.
I do not have allergies so I cannot speak on specifics, but our waitress was sure to ask if we had any and if there was anything they had to tell the chefs.
Is there a dress code? If so what is it?
Agree with others. It's smart casual. I saw people with flip flops but nice ones paired with nice attire - summer dresses and golf attire
Is there outdoor dining?
Yes (sidewalk) but there is still a wait time of approximately 30-40 minutes. It's worth it!
Do you take walk ins?
Yes they do but I would arrive as soon as they open so that you get on the list. Arriving later does not guarantee you a seat
Are jeans appropriate?
There is no dress code. You will see men wearing khaki shorts and a polo up to those wearing a jacket and tie. Jeans are fine.
Is it handicap accessible?
While most of the dining area is upstairs, there is an elevator available for handicapped persons.
Is there live music and if so, which day of the week and what time?
Sometimes they have a singer an piano player in the lounge downstairs.
Are there gluten free options or chicken pot pie made GF?
There are GF options, but do not know if CPP is available GF?
