    We had such a nice evening. We had fried green tomatoes for an appetizer and they were delicious. My husband’s Chilean sea bass special was one of the best and the warm biscuits with honey butter was a nice final touch. Also the Chemistry Pinot Noir was smooth. Overall, it was a delicious memorable experience.

    Justin was our server and took time to not only explain the menu, but the history of the owners and building. Our food was divine and the atmosphere was perfection. Best meal I’d had out in a very long time.

    We had a wonderful dinner served by an awesome waiter. Very personable, timely and not pushing us to leave. We ate early and were given a table upstairs which we loved. Ordered mushroom bruschetta, Brussels sprouts and fried green tomato caprese apps. All delicious!!! Split the gumbo which was so cheesy and delicious! We both thoroughly enjoyed our time and said to each other the next time we are in Savannah we will go back. Hubby had honey brown ale, me the Malbec and both were also delicious! Brussels sprouts are almost like dessert! We were the first diners for dinner and when we left the place was packed.
