    Soft shell crab. Delicious.
    Michael D. D.

    My wife surprised me with a "chef's table" dinner experience at Common Thread. And what an experience! Executive Chef Victor gave us a great overview of what we were about to experience... it was almost overwhelming. I think we had a tasting of nearly every item on the menu. I think we had five or six different appetizers, two different entrees, and two different deserts. Some particular standouts were the Tybee oysters, ceviche, soft shell crab, beef tartar, cannelloni, the grilled snapper collar and the grilled steak. Each serving was introduced by the chef. Victor was amazing, as was his entire kitchen team. It was fascinating to not only dine, but to observe the kitchen staff as they worked. The teamwork among the staff was most impressive. Impressive cuisine, and impressive staff. Our experience was five star!

    Fall Squash dish that we chose as Appetiser
    Kaushal V.

    One of the FINEST upscale Restaurant that I have visited. Hands down an incredible and a memorable experience. Me and my wife took a trip to Savannah to celebrate our 1st year anniversary & baby moon. we visited this restaurant on November 18th, 2025. As soon as we entered we were greeted and since it I had a reservation already for our anniversary dinner. We were seated at a very private place of this heritage restaurant. We loved it. The ambiance and atmosphere were very soothing and relaxing. Service was just exceptional, our server SOPHIA went above and beyond to make our dinner experience top notch. To start we had some drinks which was out of the world. For appetiser we were recommended for a Fall Squash I must say the sauce and the dish was mouth watering. For mains I had Sweet potato and my wife had gnocchi, what do I say every bite that I took could say it was cooked to perfection and it was just mind boggling. Finally, for desserts we had their home made Apple crisp and it was just amazing and the best part is it wasn't too sugary or sweet. It just had perfect amount of sweetness. Overall, I really recommend this place and thank you guys for making our 1st year anniversary so memorable and me being a vegetarian and having so much of dietary restrictions, you guys made it work and huge shout out to the chef, service team and the whole management. I'll surely visit again !!! I can't stop thinking about the food. 10/10

    When a restaurant is ran by a farmers, one does not need to contemplate for too long how good it will be. After all, there are only so many ways to mess up a good tomato when slicing it or a fresh oyster that was caught that day. Founders Ryan and Joanne Williamson purchased a 5-acre farm outside of Bluffton, supplying food to Montage hotel. Years later, along with the chef, they started Common Thread and it's every bit as good as the result of such a story should be. Attentive, high quality cooking and excellent presentations. Oysters are spectacular. Carolina Gold Rice is much closer to a quality risotto than anything else. Tuna appetizer is a must. Salads are solid (although sadly the tomatoes are naturally not as rich and tasty as one would think, but that's a very minor complaint). The folks working here from the host stand to the waitress are attentive and kind. And what can beat dining in an 1897 Krouskoff House restored to a new century of beauty. Thus, Common Thread is everything that fine dining should be. Incredibly fresh, unpretentious, generously portioned, grown by dedicated people and presented in a historical relic revived.

    Visited the Common Thread for my husband's birthday and I have to say this place hit the mark on all aspects. The restaurant is in a restored 1897 house and really delivers on classic southern charm. We tried the ricotta punch & forethinker cocktails and both were expertly executed. We enjoyed our meal immensely - the yellowfin tuna, chicken entree, & apple crumble were all delicious but the true star of the show for me was the gnocchi! It may very well have been the best dish I have had that entire weekend in Savannah. We will definitely be back to try more dishes in the future! Definitely don't miss this place!

    We had a mystery dinner and I could not have chosen a better place. The place was beautiful, I believe it was a house converted into a restaurant. This place has two stories which has tables on both floors. The food was great! I decided on the Steak and the ceviche and it did not disappoint! The servers were so kind, would definitely recommend.

    A well executed farm-to-table restaurant. Firstly, let me just say the staff is so on point. The hostess were warm and welcoming, the runners were pleasant, and our server Elle executed service precisely. It's clear the staff here is trained with care. We never asked for anything or felt rushed. Everything happened in perfect cadence. We opted for the chefs tasting. I will say I wasn't blown away by everything but overall everything was absolutely fresh and certain things like the fall squash salad and the steak were incredible. The building was built in 1897 (as a gift to the owners wife they say!) but it is well intact. The entire restaurant has a deep aura of traditional southern hospitality. I'm very happy we chose to come here.

    We had the best dinner experience of our whole trip here at Common Thread. Firstly, it is just such a gorgeous restaurant. They've renovated an old historic mansion, and it gives southern hospitality vibes right when you pull up. There is a large wraparound porch with what looked like outdoor seating, and inside, throughout all of the rooms, tables are scattered. There is also a bar in the back that looks like a very cozy hangout. The whole place gives a very nice semi-private feel. Our server was absolutely excellent. We went with the chef's tasting menu, and at $75 pp, I honestly think this is a great price. We had so much delicious food to share; I highly recommend doing that. It was a wonderful dining experience from start to finish. The oysters were absolutely divine with a curry/coconut/peanut flavor. I usually don't like much on my oysters, but this was so good, I could have eaten many more. Everything on the snack plate was also so delicious - the tuna tostada and shrimp hand roll were my favorite things of the night. Just so so yummy. The asparagus and peas salad was a yummy salad to go with. For the second course, the Carolina Gold rice dish was our favorite - rich and creamy, savory and delicious with crispy puffed rice - seriously, it's so good. the roasted fennel was good, but maybe not great. I did really enjoy the tahini sauce. The third course included a fish collar that unfortunately, we didn't enjoy as it was rather fishy, and the creamy corn that went with it was just ok. The hanger steak was cooked perfectly though, and had the most delicious sauces served with it. Lastly, blueberry cobbler for dessert, which was perfect. We left feeling very satisfied. Very nicely made cocktails. Overall, a very interesting menu and an experience I very much wish to repeat every time I'm in Savannah. Such charm and grace with each dish served.

    I was in love with this place! Everything I tried at this spot was so delicious! I recommend that you try this place if you are in Savannah. The food here is unbelievable and the services is great! I loved the ambiance of the restaurant. It felt like you were at someone's cozy home. The dishes are tiny, so you can order a lot of stuff and try many things on the menu. We started off with the two different oysters. They were so good! You have to get the dill oysters. I would say the best oysters in terms of flavor I ever had. The oysters are tiny, but what they put on top is big bold flavors. We also got the tuna tartare. It was really good too! The fish was fresh and the sauce that went with the dish was so flavorful and got rid of any fishy taste to the dish. We got the lasagna which was really good. It had a crunchy outer layer and it was a nice twist on a classic lasagna. We got it for our daughter really, but she wasn't a big fan. I would say kids might not like it because of the crunchy aspect of it. Everything was so good! I would go back!

    Surprisingly artistic culinary experience! From first course to dessert - everything exceeded our expectations. If you're an out of town visitor looking for a sophisticated menu aside from the typical river street seafood options, this is your go to dinner spot. We dined in August 2025 and the chef incorporated a lot of in season produce like peas, peaches, butterbeans and melon. I'd assume the menu changes often based on the chefs expertise. Overall great taste making and creative plating. P.S. I had to convince my family to get the coconut sorbet and they almost ate it all without letting me have a bite. 10/10 don't sleep on Common Thread

    Richard's Chicken
    Allie G.

    I had discovered Common Thread Savannah through TikTok, and made a reservation about a week in advance. The only time slot available was 5 PM, so I definitely recommend booking early. The restaurant was a converted historical home, and it felt like we were dining in a living room. There were two floors of seating, and the decor was tasteful and surprisingly modern. We skipped drinks, and ordered a few starters to share - both varieties of the prepared Oysters and the Flounder Crudo. The Oysters were both delicious, and my favorite was the no. 2 with coconut milk and lemongrass. However, the Flounder Crudo completely blew us away. The fish was so fresh and I'd never tasted a crudo paired with mole before. The flavors went together perfectly, in a super unique way. For my entree, I chose the Ravioli and my friend got the Richard's Chicken. The Ravioli was fantastic! I loved the eggplant ricotta filling and the sauce was delicious. Portion sizes were generally small, so I could've easily eaten two servings of this dish. The Richard's Chicken was also excellent, and perfectly cooked. My friend said it was some of the best chicken she's had, and this portion size was a lot more generous. Pricing was on the higher end and service was lukewarm, but those were the only negatives. Would return to try more!

    Fluke crude, oysters, apple salad - get them all.
    Sharon S.

    This place is amazing. Beautiful old home. Fantastic service. Flavorful and fresh food! I had the oysters - two different ways. Omg so good. The beet juice was a huge surprise and I loved it. The fluke crudo is some of the best I have had. So fresh. The apple salad is very inventive. And the best, had the cobia in a curry sauce. Omg. I'm still dreaming about it. My friends also had the steak and the chicken. Everything was delish. I would order the cobia every day if I could! I would go back to Savannah just to eat here.

    Wow, such a unique dining experience! The food was so different from anything we've had, interesting combinations of flavors. Everything was easily shareable and that was part of the fun. The coconut dessert with magical fruit gummies (that should be sold to take home!) Beautiful space in a historic home. Service was great, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Went to extra effort to help me out with a vent cover that was freezing my feet! Only 4 stars because our 20 yo daughter was not a fan of the adventurous eating style of the restaurant.

The brunch menu is fairly…read moreextensive, so we had some difficulty choosing what to order....but definitely come hungry because the portions are large and the food is pretty rich. To share amongst the table, we ordered the cinnamon toast banane and crispy gouda grit croquettes. Thumbs up on both, particularly the croquettes which were the right balance of gooey and structured enough to eat with the delicious sauce on the side. The cinnamon toast banane was not so much toast as cinnamon rolls with bananas foster; the cinnamon rolls were really tasty and the bananas foster was good, though the bourbon flavor was strong. For my entree, I ordered one of the lighter vegetarian dishes - the mushroom tartine with tomato soup. I think it is one of the lighter dishes - certainly lighter than what my dining companions ordered - but it was still quite rich with a fair amount of gouda fondue in the tomato bisque soup. The mushroom tartine/sandwich was really flavorful with the pesto, cheese and tons of mushrooms. The restaurant is quite large with an upstairs seating area.

These were absolutely the best mussels I've ever had. The sauce was not the traditional garlic/shallot wine sauce but had more tomato and basil reminiscent of warm bruschetta. I had to borrow my husbands spoon to get every bit of that sauce after I finished my mussels. My husband had the famous shrimp and grits which he absolutely loved. He noted it wasn't overpowered with sausage like most other restaurants do but had a perfect balance of flavor. My mom got the lamb burger and also loved every bite. She loved lamb so as soon as she saw that she had no doubt what she was going to order. Both my husband and mom loved every bite. I can see why The Public Kitchen is so popular. The restaurant has some indoor and outdoor seating with a mix of tables and banquets along the walls. It was comfortable without being too crowded. This was my first visit to The Public but It definitely won't be my last.

Looking around at the tables around us nothing really caught our eye after reading the menu, we didn't want to leave since we were able to get reservations so we got some starters and shareables. There was a couple next to us who was having the same dilemma after over hearing their conversation. The kale salad was okay but a little bitter for my liking and the potato soup had a thick layer of oil on the top which looked intentional but wasn't our cup of tea. The cornbread and mashed potatoes were good but nothing crazy in our opinion to write home about. Service was okay on our end, once our waiter realized we weren't getting any main entrees it felt like he ghosted us with no water until our food came out and then never came back to check in on us until he brought the check. We are going to try to come again next time we are in town in hopes we have a better experience and different menu!

We were sat in what I believe used to be a front parlour, by a window over looking the street. We had a dual service with one person being the "main" server, his name was Michael. He was in charge of giving us the spiel and answering our questions. A woman (I forget her name, sorry! But she was lovely) was in charge of running the food and clearing the plates. It was a very well run machine. The menu is pre set, but there were choices on some of the courses, like course where an option was a soft shelled crab - I definitely wanted to take advantage of that! We started off with Biscuits with butter and homemade orange marmalade, these were delightful, so fluffy and soft, and the marmalade was sweet, not bitter like it sometimes can be. The Amuse bouche was a trio of tiny items: a pimento cheese tart, a mussel with chipotle sauce and panko, and a square of salmon with mild wasabi and ginger. The salmon was definitely my favorite. The fifth course had a special as I noted before, so I opted to go for that, it was a soft shell crab with garlic, herbs and a vidalia onion slaw. Topped with peanuts and a white wine sauce. I think my favorite course of them all was the scallops with the carrots and the whipped ricotta - so simple but so delicious! Phenomenal special occasion place or just to cross off your bucket list. If I am in Savannah again (and the likelihood is high, its such an amazing city), I will be back.
