Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake, it's INCREDIBLE, with house made cream cheese frosting, yum! We canceled a rez at a fancy restaurant because we didn't want to walk in the rain, No Regrets!!!

They have great outdoor seating! I shared the Roma Burger and Turkey Avocado Melt. The burger was too big to eat. The melt was great. The best dish at the table was Shrimp and Grits.

Came for brunch. 30 min wait and 0 wait for bar seats. Sat at the bar, great convo with bartender. The spicy baked eggs w/ shrimp aren’t spicy but they are delicious

Nice outdoor spot. Solid house bloody, delicious arugula salad & some tasty sandwiches. Shrimp & grits was not my fave - very heavy on the cream & super nutty flavor (sherry? nutmeg? idk 😣)

Healthy options, allergy friendly! Grass Fed burgers. No seed oils. Loved it! got the salmon and asparagus and it was one of the best I’ve ever had.

The burgers at this hip neighborhood spot in Savannah show promise with flavorful beef and toppings, but the dense, chewy pretzel bun has got to go.

Half cheese plate is great if you don't want the full. Pick from two of four cheeses. We went with brie and chèvre.

Super friendly staff. If you want to share something (except dessert) they split for you and no charge for the split. Cocktails are excellent and great music selection.

Thai Coconut Curry is DELICIOUS! Not spicy at all, but it is sweet and flavorful! Also, the Georgia burger was great!

Your pet is allowed to join you at 1 of the 3 tables on Liberty St only. Go early for dinner so you can secure an outside table. Paella was divine.

GA Blackened buffalo burger was really good. Nothing left! And I thought the pretzel bun was great.

This is the best place we ate in Savannah! Great food and even better ambiance. It reminded me of a trendy Brooklyn restaurant. Go here!!!!

Love the sprigs of rosemary decorating each table here, and the beautiful and historic city surrounding it.

Little brunch sandwich was great, Apple Bacon, and cheddar cheese, and fried Egg, with a Side of Grits

Just get the pork chop. The shrimp and grits are also delicious!

My favorite restaurant in Savannah. Beautiful street corner setting, urban vibe with old South charm, excellent menu.

Shrimp & grits and risotto are delicious. Bacon wrapped shrimp also a treat. Super nice & great service.

Bison burger is killer. Super messy though. Do not order this on a first date. You will look like a 5-year-old trying to eat this.

This venison burger and oyster stew was simply amazing!
Katie QuiltyNovember 24, 2013

Great food, lovely outdoor seating for taking in the savannah sites!

The steak is good. Too bad the mussel was sold out. We have had oyster stew as a replacement. Quite okay. Service is nice but a bit cold to stay outside during nighttime.
Olenka FediushkoSeptember 12, 2018
Very tasty burgers🍔and bruschetta ! Nice place
BradSeptember 14, 2016
Elk burger was outstanding. Pepper jelly added a lot, make sure you go med-rare or less with a lean game meat like this one.
Nick MarquesSeptember 8, 2015
Shrimp and grits was good, but a somewhat small portion of out. Girlfriend sent back the clams and linguini because they were tough and sandy.
Karen WSeptember 25, 2022
Everyone was happy with their drinks and entrees. Salmon and two pasta dishes.

Brussels sprouts appetizer, the salmon dinner. Auto immune friendly. Lovely

Awesome lunch spot. Delicious food, I got the ham and brie. Noms.

Burger on a pretzel bun! Stick with beers as their cocktails are not up to par with their sister restaurant/bar.
Sharon Walters MehlJanuary 19, 2014
The cocktails are good. Highly recommend the Espresso martinis, bloody Mary's, the Jubilee and the Jalapeño lime spritzer.
Marlene KoskiApril 14, 2016
Bison burger is delish, fresh ingredients. Great place for lunch.
