    Fantastic wine
    Megan D.

    We booked seats at the chef's counter which gave us a front row seat to all the kitchen action. It's a quiet, well run kitchen with an expeditor that was poised, confident and calm. Shocking really considering how many meals they were cranking out while we were there. The food was delicious from the smoked trout dip, and the curried peanut shrimp to the striped sea bass. Fishbar's knowledgeable sommelier guided us through the small but carefully curated wine list to a perfect pairing.

    I made some adjustments in my reservation schedule just to eat a this place. From my understanding, it's a newer resteraunt and is really blowing up! The restaurant focuses around their seasonal menu which I love. I wanted to come here soley for the for the full red snapper. It did not disappoint me, eyeballs and all. The menu is made up of small plates that are perfect for sharing. My mother and I shared the tartare and scallop as appetizer. They were both unbelievable. The scallop featured a callabrian chili oil that provided the right amount of heat. The surpising standout of the meal was the cabbage that was grilled. Who knew cabbage could taste so good! The staff treated us so well and even had a hand-written birthday card for me! I looked at their current menu and I am already planning my trip back!

    Wow! Another absolutely stellar meal at Fishbar last evening. The creativity and pairing of unique and amazingly complimentary flavors sets this place apart from anything I've come across in Savannah, or many other major cities for that matter. We had a number of dishes on the menu and everyone of them was a 10. As was our amazing server Clay was with us from cocktails thru dinner. She was super attentive and knowledgable about all the ingredients in each dish and cocktail. As were the food runners. Who explained each dish, and their contents in detail as they delivered the plates. And I'd be remiss to not acknowledge the incredibly welcoming culture of every employee at Fishbar. As we walked back to the beautiful firepit adorned back patio for cocktails. Every team member we passed said, "welcome." I say team members, because this warm, welcoming, conscientious culture that permeates this establishment is a clear reflection and testimony to the outstanding hiring, management, and motivation the owner, Anthony Debreceny and his crew from Southern Cross Hospitality has created. Bravo!!

    Complimentary champagne for our anniversary, oysters, mussels and scallops. Everything was excellent !!

    This place is amazing !! My wife and I just went there for our 17th anniversary and they treated us like royalty. The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable and Emma (at the bar) went over and above. She was incredible, her recommendations were on point and she really took care of us. This place is a gem, it has a large area for bar seating, plenty of tables for dining and a beautiful outdoor seating area as well.

    The weight was so worth it! Everything about this restaurant is perfection! The staff the ambience, and of course the food! Our server Lily was amazing and she was very friendly and just perfect! For starters we had the oysters with all the toppings the were delicious! For my main dish I had the grilled rainbow trout which was cooked to perfection! My boyfriend had the snapper and it wasn't my cup of tea but I think that was because the head was still attached, I would highly recommend this restaurant but definitely get a reservation if you can! 10/10 stars!

    Overall: 4/5 A great experience and worth visiting--just not necessarily a place I'd rush back to on repeat. Reservations are a must unless you want to wait 1-2 hours for a table. Food: 4/5 * Oysters: 5/5 Exceptionally fresh, and the sauces are the real star. Try all of them. * Bread: 4/5 Baked to order and delicious. The butter is a bit heavy-handed, but it's worth asking about off-menu butter options. * Salad: 4/5 Exactly as expected--solid, but not memorable. A nice way to balance out the richer dishes. * Shrimp: 4/5 Well-cooked and flavorful on its own. The accompanying salad works, but the sauce doesn't add much. * Scallops: 5/5 The highlight of the meal and a must-order. If you're dining as a pair, get two orders. * Snapper: 4/5 Technically impressive and well-executed, but ultimately underwhelming. The sauce--similar to the shrimp--doesn't elevate the dish, and the pickled elements could use more brightness and restraint. * Flan: 3/5 Decent, but skippable given stronger dessert options. * Tres Leches: 4/5 A better choice than the flan--enjoyable and satisfying. Drinks: 4/5 A thoughtful program with a solid by-the-glass wine selection, though nothing particularly standout. Atmosphere: 3.8 Close to a 4-5, but the layout holds it back. Tables feel cramped and oddly positioned--especially near the entrance and host stand--and it's easy to overhear neighboring conversations. The courtyard seems underutilized and could improve spacing if used for additional seating. The expeditor station also feels too close to the chef's counter, slightly detracting from the experience. Think light background music would help too. Restrooms are nicely done. Service: 4/5 Service dropped off towards end of the meal and when it got busy. Server was knowledgeable and friendly. Runners didn't seem knowledgeable about what they were dropping off to our table.

    Found this restaurant on an Instagram reel. Went in and sat at the bar. Three hours later, we left... full, happy and totally ready for our next trip to Fishbar!!! The bartenders were INCREDIBLE and put on a show for us! Amazing! Food was out of this world! Bravo all around! Can't wait to go back!

    Amazing restaurant and one of the best meals we've had in Savannah. Sat at the chefs counter and spoke with the chefs as they cooked and they told us certain meals they were making. This was helpful when picking out food choices. The waitress was super helpful with our selection and her recommendations were excellent. One of our now favorite places to go in Savannah

    We had a wonderful evening at Fish Bar. We sat at the bar and Emma took amazing care of us. She was an absolute delight from start to finish. Cecelia also stopped by with thoughtful recommendations that we're so glad we took. We started with the oysters with fresno chile, the bread with crab butter, and the tuna crudo. Highly recommend ordering both the tuna crudo and the bread. The crab butter is incredible on its own, but dipping the bread into the sauce from the tuna crudo is next level. So good. We also tried the cabbage with sea urchin sauce, which was absolutely delicious. For dinner, we ordered the mussels and the scallop. Both were beautifully presented and just as delicious as they looked. For dessert, we had the miso chocolate torte and the flan. Both were fantastic, but the miso caramel ice cream truly stole the show. It is completely out of this world! I also tried the Agua de Gilda cocktail. I was slightly hesitant about the anchovy wash, but you genuinely would never know. It was light, refreshing, and easily a 10 out of 10. We can't wait to come back and hopefully grab a seat on the patio next time. It's such a cute space back there. Perfect place for a date night! Edit: I would like to add on that on my second visit Maren was a true joy and took great care of me. La Melon Rouge was very refreshing and the calamari was delicious.

It was giving chain restaurant a little more than I expected. We tried the grilled oyster sampler, and while they all looked slightly different, somehow they all tasted like variations of Rockefeller. I could not tell you which was which. The she-crab soup? Absolutely not. Zero flavor. I took one bite and sent it back, and I rarely send food back. The shrimp & grits were... interesting. Very sweet, very corn-forward, and the texture was more porridge/cream of wheat than the thick, savory grits I had in mind. Was it terrible? No. On a rainy day, I could actually see myself eating a bowl of it. But if you tell me shrimp & grits, my mouth has already prepared for something completely different. Now--the fried green tomatoes? THAT was the star. Crispy, topped with a little crab salad and this hot sauce that pulled the whole thing together. The crab cakes were pretty solid too, especially with the two sauces, and the collard greens were tender and well done. Overall, I'd come back for lunch, oysters, drinks and a few appetizers. But dinner reservation? I'm not jumping through hoops. Savannah has too many really good restaurants for that. 3/5 -- cute, fun, a few hits, but the food needed a little more love.

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.

    After capturing several ghosts in Savannah, I found myself in desperate need of a proper meal, a…read morestrong drink, and a place where the spirits would remain in their glasses. That search led me to The Olde Pink House--a magnificent historic mansion dating back to 1771, now home to one of Savannah's most memorable restaurants. The décor is beautiful, with antique furnishings, fireplaces, elegant woodwork, chandeliers, and enough historical character to make any ghost hunter feel immediately at home. The building is surprisingly large, with numerous dining rooms, each decorated and arranged differently. Exploring it feels almost like wandering through a well-preserved haunted mansion--though thankfully, the staff were much friendlier than the ghosts I had recently captured. The food was excellent, and everyone in our party enjoyed what they ordered. I'm not usually much of a beer drinker, but I tried the Hostess City, a craft beer brewed exclusively for The Olde Pink House, and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Our server was wonderful, and we were even able to exchange ghost stories with them. We all had a good laugh, although I'm fairly certain one of the portraits nearby was laughing along with us. We arrived dressed entirely in black, and not a single person batted an eye. In Savannah, this is apparently considered perfectly respectable evening attire--or perhaps everyone simply assumed we were attending a funeral for one of the restless dead. After dinner, we asked whether we could explore the other sections of the restaurant, and we were told it would be no problem. We were able to visit the different dining rooms and examine the antiques and objects respectfully without disturbing the other guests. Be sure to visit the bar downstairs, Planters Tavern. It has a wonderfully haunted atmosphere, with brick walls, old-world décor, and a beautiful fireplace that must be especially inviting during the winter months. The basement's fireplaces were reportedly part of the home's original kitchen, which only adds to the feeling that the room remembers far more than it lets on. The Olde Pink House offers excellent food, beautiful surroundings, friendly service, and just enough supernatural atmosphere to keep a ghost hunter interested. I arrived looking for somewhere to recover from the night's haunting. I left well fed, pleasantly spirits-laden, and only mildly concerned that one of the ghosts may have followed me home.

It's right in the heart of downtown off Congress Street and across from the Rail Pub. There is street parking, but being downtown, it can definitely be limited. I finally stopped in after dinner hours around 7pm on Friday. Since it was date night we ordered the raw tower, which comes stacked with everything under the sun: oysters, shrimp, snow crab, lobster and mussels. I also ordered scallops and asked if it could be prepared without butter because of my dairy allergy. The kitchen has no problem making them with olive oil instead. Super delicious! I enjoyed it so much that I came back the following weekend with friends. I made reservations online during happy hour (4-6pm) and we were lucky enough to be seated in the small back dining room tucked away behind the bar. Our server was wonderful and very attentive, and I especially appreciated that she actually paid attention to the allergy notes I included with my reservations. Of course we all ordered a dozen oysters each because they're $1 during happy hour and who can beat that? I ordered the scallops again because I liked them so much the first time, and around the table we had a mixture of lobster, mussels, dressed oysters, turtle cheesecake, finishing everything off with espresso martinis. Hands down delicious. The service was top-tier too. Our server never hovered, but somehow always checked on us at just the right time and made sure we had everything we needed. Two great visits so far and I'll absolutely be back to try more of the menu.

Unfortunately, that may be where the greatness ends. We ordered varying dishes: fried chicken sandwich with collard greens, fried shrimp and fish basket with fries, and burgers. There was one consistent theme throughout: bland. The shrimp and fish tasted like...water? And I don't mean a seafood taste, but as one in our party described it: like licking your arm. Just flavorless and uninspiring. The crust and color on the chicken sandwich looked like I was about to bite into a life-altering morsel. But alas, I tasted chicken. And nothing else. We had very high hopes and were let down. I don't know if it was off day or what, but the food left a lot to be desired.

Sitting along the river while watching massive cargo ships slowly make their way toward the Atlantic creates one of those uniquely Savannah experiences you simply can't find anywhere else. Our server, Matthew, was outstanding. Friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely made the evening even more enjoyable. Service like his is a big part of what turns a great meal into an unforgettable one. Now, the food... The crab cake was one of the best I've ever had--easily 95% lump crab with barely any filler. Just fresh, sweet crab prepared perfectly. The beef carpaccio was elegant, incredibly flavorful, and disappeared far too quickly. Then came the French onion soup. There's a reason the National Onion Association recognized it as the best. Rich, deeply caramelized, perfectly balanced, and topped with a blanket of bubbling cheese. Without question, the best French onion soup I've ever had. The black truffle scallops were buttery, tender, and absolutely decadent. The evening's special--a blackened filet paired with shrimp linguine--was phenomenal. The filet was cooked to perfection, and the shrimp linguine brought bold Cajun flavors that made us feel like we had been transported straight to Louisiana. To finish it all off, watching enormous cargo ships leave the Port of Savannah bound for destinations around the world while enjoying an incredible meal is an experience all its own. Vic's on the River delivered on every level: exceptional food, first-class service, and an atmosphere that's impossible to duplicate. This wasn't just another dinner--it was one of the highlights of our trip to Savannah. Don't leave without ordering the French onion soup. And if you're lucky enough to have Matthew as your server, you're in for a memorable evening.

The complimentary biscuits were definitely the highlight of the meal. They were warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The food itself was good, and the service was perfectly fine, but nothing about the experience felt memorable or special. Overall, it was just a middle-of-the-road dining experience. Personally, I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it or return.
