Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Aguas Buenas

Sat outside. Lovely setting. Food was fresh, flavorful.

We were promptly greeted by the hostess and seated before our reservation time. Our server, Hannah(sp?), was fantastic. She provided very detailed descriptions of the wine, specials, and food offerings. She was attentive, but not annoying. Her enthusiasm was refreshing. She was quick to clear our table, when needed. Hannah was very personable and friendly, while remaining the consummate professional, which my husband and I truly appreciated. Our meals, from the appetizers to desserts, were phenomenal. The Chef and his team prepared and presented, in our opinion, Michelin and James Beard quality everything. While the price points are high compared to other restaurants in the Savannah area, Alligator Soul is worth it. Especially because the offerings are exotic and unique, but still “familiar.” We have dined here a few times over the years, pre-Covid. The dining experience is just as exceptional this visit as it had been in the past. We highly recommend Alligator Soul because of the Chef, the Sommalier, and Hannah, our server.

The experience is what you are paying for. The food was hot and expertly prepared. My favorites were the pimento cheese starter and the fillet, mashed potato and the vegetable mix served with the flounder. Service is excellent. The servings sizes were great. This many courses was a lot for me, I couldn't finish each plate in order to save room for the next. By dessert I was stuffed full. I cannot imagine eating all of this and drinking wine and coffee. Overall great meal.

Here’s a sample review you can use or adapt: We had an absolutely delightful experience at the Pirates House! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of unique and comfort. The service was outstanding—our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel truly welcomed. The food was exceptional, with every dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The fried green tomatoes as appetizer and the pecan fried chicken were absolute standouts. You can tell the chef puts great care and thought into the menu. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a memorable experience. ♥️

We have dined here several times and always had a great experience. It’s one of the few places that allows a reservation for a large party without having to reserve a special room/menu etc. We had a table for 16 on this occasion. Service is excellent, we never have to wait for anything! The food is always good and drinks are great and well priced. Troy is perfect for a casual lunch, romantic dinner, or a small party/celebration!
