    Sunday brunch (buffet) is simply amazing. Not always publicized but you can get a $1 mimosa or bloody mary if you come for brunch!

    The pecan crusted chicken salad is the best I’ve had, and the pasta with lobster and shrimp isn’t skimpy on either. Happy hour M-F 3-6: 1/2 off draft beer, drink specials, and 25% off small plates.

    Delicious breakfast menu that's served until 3:00pm and above average coffee. The space is huge and the noise level is moderate so you can still hold a conversation. Dope pancakes for sure.

    Unique, diverse & exceptionally delicious cuisine. The only problem with the menu is deciding what to order! Definitely sit on the lower level during the summer, because upstairs Is extremely warm.

    I went with 12 people. All loved it and went out of their way to say so. An affordable place with a great atmosphere. Perfect for lunch or dinner with friends. Even better for a date.

    Good coffee from RoosLiberty, and great French toast. The savory breakfast dishes looked amazing so I'll definitely come back for that.

    Good place for an intimate meal or birthday dinner. A little overpriced, but the food is good. Sunday brunch is worth trying.

    I try to stop here every time I visit A2. Love the inside-out burger and mac 'n cheese with chorizo. Service is great, not intrusive on the dining experience, fantastic!

    The black bean burger is very citrusy and southwest tex-mex. Bloody Mary's are good. Get a high top table or booth in the back.

    Sava's has an amazing menu. You can't go wrong!The cobb wrap is my favorite. The burgers are also phenomenal, but make sure to go on mondays to order a burger. Only $1!

    I absolutely cannot recommend Sava's (although the completely unrelated Seva's is quite wonderful, don't mix them up).

    Try the large selection of breakfast hash, I am partial to the Grecian Hash. Do yourselves a favor and trust this advice to be truth.

    Scallops & mushroom risotto very good. Does the tomato sauce garnish match? Not sure but it's healthy!

    I used to go to Sava's frequently but tend to avoid it now as I feel their standards have deteriorated. For quality and quantity, the food is overpriced and wait staff not the most attentive.

    Great cocktails. Instead of the Kir, ask the bartender for a Kir Royal instead.
