    River view from Savannah Georgia from the district Seafood Bar.
    David B.

    Came 20 minutes before closing Kaitlin sat us at the bar and didn't make us feel rushed. Put our order in and got 2 drinks in about 5 seconds. Friendly and accommodating awesome service from Kaitlin was awesome. I got the fried shrimps and old bay fries. Very tasty. Also the oysters awesome as well. Thanks for making our evening a great one. Will definitely be back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful views of the river.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Over 50 restaurants in almost walking distance. But come by and get a drink and great service from Kaitlin!!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a nice place to eat near the river and right outside the JW Marriott.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's some tables and a bar area under the shade.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The fresh oysters are probably a hit or miss. The oysters I got were tiny and not plump. The Broiled Oysters - Rockefeller style I got were a lot better and more plump. These tasted smelled and tasted pretty good. Steer away from Anna's gumbo as it was inedible. The taste was so weird and so salty it was like eating salt. The shrimp was hard inside. Unfortunately I had to throw away $16 of gumbo. There was a worker that was just constantly eating French fries with his gloves on near the takeout station.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice spot to enjoy the Savannah riverfront with some food and drinks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have TVs, I happened to catch Sunday Night Football during dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have several good beers on tap and a pretty simple menu. I ordered the crispy fish sandwich which was good and a reasonable price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall a good experience for a nice casual dinner outdoors on the waterfront![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    We were looking for seafood on the river, this place had decent reviews. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great location. Outside seating only, with a covered bar and an overhead open tent for live music with seating for eating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was confusing trying to figure out if we seat ourselves, wait for someone to seat us or order from the bar and then seat ourselves. We waited in a long line at the bar just to be told, seat yourself and someone will come place your order. The servers were short staffed on a busy Friday evening and overwhemled. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Most of the tables that were free had not been cleaned.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menus were lamitaed and dirty. They had food stains and visible fingerprints. It also took a while for someone to greet us just to take our drink order. Once our server came, she was apologetic about the wait, she placed our order and was doing her best to help several other tables simultaneously. Honestly, it didnt take long for our food to come out. The food was disappointing. One positive, it came out hot. We both ordered the seafood platter which was 27 dollars each, totally not worth it. The platter came with haddock. Gross, it was not fresh, it tasted like bland frozen fish sticks. The calamari, was seasonless, and fried super hard. Not enjoyable at all. The shrimp, were decent, but tasted like they had been just breaded and fried, no nothing added. The cucumber salad also had no flavor. We were so disappointed. Look at the pictures, you can also clearly see the portions were skimpy for a platter. Based off of this experience I would not recommend and certainly would not try them again.

    I wasn't expecting much food wise because of the rating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Of course the atmosphere is favorable and refreshing with the outdoor seating, and it wasn't too crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff seemed overwhelmed, but some were pleasant, and others were like a touch of melancholy with a bit of niceness attempting to push through. We had to place our order at the bar. Once the food came, I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the fried shrimp. They were a really good size, fried well, and seem hand breaded in house. The flavor of the breading was really good. The fries were bearable. I do wish they were fresher. Everyone else seemed to have enjoyed their food as well.

    One of the stops on the boardwalk out side the hotel. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great views and nice beers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had Annas' gumbo too munch on. Some good flavors but did not knock our socks off. Was very filling though. Bartenders were super friendly too!

    Food was very good,wouldc9me back. Low seafood boil was rich & buttery! Shrimp & grits were awesome.

    District Seafood is parked right along the riverfront, a long bar with no walls. You're going to experience the tugboats and freighters going downriver, the wind and weather (dress accordingly), and some pretty solid seafood. I grabbed a seat since its first come, first served, and ordered a shrimp Po Boy with kettle chips. Both were really good! I was a little disappointed that there was no draft list. They have quite a few taps and its tough to see what's available. There was live music as well, a singer/guitarist that was able to overcome the sound of the cherry picker that was working on the Marriott behind the bar. There are also several TV's playing sports.

    Great food, decent portions, and great outdoor atmosphere. The service was a bit slow but they were crowded. So, it's not really their fault. Make sure to seat by the river to enjoy the view and the vibe. Very friendly staff.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice view, great food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service took forever, we were there for almost 2 hours, I wasn't having any drinks only soda and it felt like forever.

Been here for both dinner and lunch. All this said, I think my approach to this review is comprehensive. With regard to food, I think they have a decent (not expansive) selection of food, which I think lends itself to quality. They do most things really well. This said, I do think there is inconsistency based on staff at the restaurant. On one occasion they have accommodated a request, and on another I was denied the exact same request. I found this frustrating. On one occasion I've also seen management talk down to staff here, which is a big no no for me. All people (especially staff) are due respect and this rubbed me the wrong way. This was an isolated incident but it definitely made my dining experience uncomfortable. Especially because I was getting excellent service from the server!!! I've always had quality service from servers here. In the future, I would come to Rhett for convenience as a hotel guest (the hotel is lovely), but would likely not spend my money if I wasn't staying at the hotel. Overall- it's good food, decent ambiance... but there are soooo many good options in Savannah. You have to be exceptional to stand out in that city.

Our Uber driver highly recommended Sorry Charlie's, so we decided to give it a try. Our first visit was genuinely pleasant, which is why we came back. However, our second visit was ruined by an encounter with the manager. This person was extremely rude and dismissive--I'm genuinely shocked she works in the service industry. We arrived for dinner and were told there would be a 10-20 minute wait, which we agreed to. After approximately 20 minutes, the manager stormed across the restaurant and yelled at us as if we were children, demanding we not stand by the hostess stand. We had never been instructed to wait elsewhere. My wife reacted as anyone would have and expressed her frustration. The manager then escalated the situation, exchanged words with us, and ultimately kicked us out while threatening to call the police. Hoping to resolve things professionally, I returned the next morning to have a mature conversation about the incident. The manager's response was condescending: "You guys are brave coming back in here." This unprofessional comment from management spoke volumes. The food quality is excellent and the staff is great, but this manager is a significant problem. She is unsuited for customer service and needs to find work elsewhere.
