The AC was not working and it was just too hot inside to the point that all tables around was were fanning themselves. The service was okay. Our server seemed to be bothered to be working? We had a couple the burrata w/ bread and the carpaccio for starters. The bread was soggy and the carpaccio was warm. For main we had the halibut and a side of carrots. It was good. There are better options in Savannah. Would not come back.

Recently, we visited Chabela, 102 E. Broad St. where we enjoyed a variety of dishes and beverages. Our starters included a delightful grilled romaine salad, which was a first for our group and quickly became the table's favorite -- simply outstanding. The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant, with lovely decor and music that was appropriately subdued, enhancing our dining experience. The table settings contributed to a comfortable atmosphere. We sampled the Georgia cheese platter, featuring an excellent selection of cheeses paired with pepper jelly, honeycomb, and candied pecans. The pairings complemented the cheeses beautifully, and the fresh, soft faccio was particularly impressive. For beverages, we enjoyed the Amethyst Blueberry Ginger Mint on Ice, a non-alcoholic drink that was refreshingly zingy and palate-cleansing, along with a classic lemonade. For dessert, we shared the crème brûlée, which was simply exceptional -- a highlight of the meal. However, the sweet tea served was not as sweet as expected. Our waiter, Anthony, was friendly and pleasant, though his presentation was somewhat lacking in professionalism, which was noticeable given the restaurant's upscale ambiance. Our main courses included a shrimp and risotto dish that exemplified excellence. The risotto was perfectly cooked, with a creamy, bright, and light sauce, and the shrimp and vegetables paired harmoniously. The seared grouper served on a bed of spinach with dill lemon cream was another standout; the fish was cooked to perfection, and the sauce complemented the dish without overpowering it. The presentation was appealing, and every element was thoughtfully prepared. We also enjoyed the maize or hummus with grilled vegetables, which was delicious. The vegetables were roasted to perfection, and the deep-fried flour component added a delightful crunch -- though its name escaped us, it was a memorable addition. The grouper cakes, however, were disappointing, as only one was served despite the menu listing it as an "S" portion meant for sharing. The cake was somewhat spicy and not as shareable as anticipated. Additionally, the smashed potatoes fell short -- they were lukewarm and lacked the expected flavor. Overall, Chabela provided a wonderful dining experience with numerous standout dishes. Our group looks forward to exploring more of Savannah's culinary scene and sharing our critiques.

The wait staff were friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. The local beer was tasty and definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the atmosphere. I ordered the $38 fried chicken, and while the portion was generous (half a chicken with mac and cheese and greens), the chicken itself had almost no flavor. The sides were decent, but nothing stood out enough to justify the price. Overall, the atmosphere and service were excellent, but the food was disappointing. I probably wouldn't return.

While I'd advise you to slip staying in the hotel where this restaurant sits, the restaurant itself (and the other one downstairs, fleeting) were bright spots in an otherwise lackluster hotel stay. We enjoyed breakfast here a few days. The service is fantastic (we saw Miranda a couple times and she made us feel like regulars, remembering our order and offering some sight seeing tips), all staff was friendly, fun and knowledgeable about the menu. The food is well done, with a Mediterranean influnce. We enjoyed the shakshuka (highly reco you add the kefta and ask for oven bread instead of the sourdough) and the Turkish eggs (also reco asking for the oven bread with this one), both dishes were flavorful and well executed (and we try shakshuka everywhere we see it!) We also had evening snacks one night and enjoyed the hummus with the mushroom add on and some of their signature drinks. Staff In the evening was also strong and didn't disappoint. If we ever find ourselves back in Sav we won't stay at the hotel Thompson but we will stop into Bar Julian!

I definitely do not regret our decision as we had a great meal. The interior ambiance of the restaurant truly transports to another place, it is truly beautiful. Our server was so gentle and gave us many recommendations on things to try and even accommodated some of requests. We started with the Espresso Martini and non-alcoholic French 75 (my first time) and these were both great. For appetizers, we had the crab croquettes (cakes), escargots and caesar salad. Everything was delicious (including the complimentary bread) , and to our surprise the Caesar salad had a nice crunch with the addition of fried frog leg pieces (if I'm not mistaken). The main entrees were the stars of the night, while we were originally inclined to try their Steak & Frites, our server recommended the steak tips sautéed over mushroom sauce with pasta and this was the perfect match instead of the classical French fries pairing. We also had the Supreme Roasted Chicken with caramelized veggies and everything was cooked to perfection. We did not leave without dessert and tried their Créme Brûlée, and while it was runnier than usual, the flavor was there. We thought it needed more time. Overall a great experience while in Savannah!
