My wife and I were scheduling our annual vacation in HHI and decided to stay in Bluffton a few days…read morebefore heading over to the Island. I saw the Old Town Bluffton Inn and we gave it a try. WHAT A GREAT PLACE! When you walk in, you think you are in a building that was built in the early 1900s, yet it is only 6 years old. Old charm with modern amenities! The staff was so friendly and the happy hour each day let you mingle with others. Adults only so it was quiet and comfortable. The morning breakfast was very good and rotated daily. We parked our car on Thursday and didn't get in it until Saturday when we went over to HHI. Right in the middle of everything and everything is walking distance. Shopping, dining, etc! Definitely THE PLACE to stay when visiting Bluffton.

It's been many years since I've stayed at something that wasn't a large hotel and my experience at…read morethe Bluffton Inn has definitely made me rethink where I book for now on. My wife and I were in the area for something work related last week and we spent a night at this beautiful spot on the center of town. From the outside this building looks older than anything in my current city (in a good way) and the inside is absolutely stunning from the hallways and lounge area to the rooms themselves. We arrived in town a little early so we decided to call the front desk to see if we would be able to check in early and they immediately said yes. When we got to the hotel and parked, the staff were quite possibly the nicest and most helpful people I have ever met in my life. They were so kind and made the entire process super quick and easy, and the best part? A DOG! There's a little white dog who loves belly rubs and high fives that I very much enjoyed hanging out with anytime I was in the lobby. The room itself was a solid size and had two twin beds, some wonderful furniture, and a TV which is everything I could possibly want out of a simple room. Overall, The Bluffton Inn was a five star experience from the moment we checked in till the moment we checked out. With amazing staff, clean rooms, and even complimentary snacks, breakfast, and beverages in the lobby staying at this place in the future is an absolute no brainer.

This is the place you must decide to have your next private event in the near future. Let's talk…read moreabout a beautiful historic intimate location in the heart of downtown Savannah with the charm and sophisticated architecture that an elegant event would bring. The Room at Common is top notch and believe me there is absolutely nothing common here. Let's give a moment of respect to the Executive Head Chef Shawn and his entire accompanying staff whose impeccable attention to detail in every dish that exited his kitchen demonstrated the depth and ability of everyone who had a hand in slicing, cutting, baking, and curating the most delectable dishes I have found in quite a while. You need an outlandish charcuterie board to get you in the mood to begin the eating festival. The sliders had the perfect texture and the bread was tenderly placed with a delicate sauce. The tomato basil soup in a bread bowl was like heaven. The fried green tomatoes were also a favorite. The short ribs with the smothered collard greens and the cornbread were on an another planet of goodness. You want fresh local oysters on the half shelf pulled from the water only hours ago, well they got you right in house with them lying on ice and a professional shucker right there to serve you with a beautiful smile. Did I mention the dessert bar? Freshly baked cookies, macaroons, mini red velvet cake shooters, lemon puff pastries, mini cheesecakes, and other treats that would leave the sweetest sweet tooth, toothless. The food was Southern, but wound up a notch. It was not boring. It was not common. If you're in Savannah for a work conference or need a place to meet to discuss business with your team, host a holiday party, or have a small wedding reception, do not skip The Room at Common. One thing I appreciate is how attentive the staff is to each guest. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. You feel as if you're one of the family coming to visit. The cocktails are delicious. The wine selection is fantastic and carefully crafted with an experienced sommelier in house. I'm telling you that you will kick yourself if you don't have you people call Leah Ralph to book your event. The food and drinks will make your folks love you forever!

If I could give 100 stars, I would. Our experience at Common Restaurant (specifically The Room) was…read moretruly exceptional. We were looking for a small, intimate, and beautiful space to host our micro-wedding celebration, and after reaching out to many places in downtown Savannah, The Room at Common stood out immediately. When we did our site visit, it was exactly what we had envisioned and more. The space is beautifully decorated inside a historic Savannah building and offers thoughtful features like a Frame TV for slides or welcome messages, private restrooms, a private bar, and the ability to play your own music (which is rare for a small venue and comes without extra charges). Leah was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She responded to our initial inquiry almost immediately, something that really stood out since many other venues took days or even weeks to reply. From the first email to the site visit and all the communication leading up to the event, she was incredibly helpful and reassuring. As someone who works in hospitality and tends to be a bit of a "controller," it meant a lot to feel confident that everything was in good hands. On the day of our celebration, everything was beyond what we imagined. The space looked beautiful, and we were greeted so warmly. Sammy, our server, was attentive and fun, and the bartender was fantastic as well. And the food... absolutely incredible. Every dish exceeded expectations. Our guests are still talking about it weeks later. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the steak was outstanding, and the fried cornbread, fish dip, and cheesecake were unforgettable. A huge thank you to the Executive Chef (who even came out to greet us) and the entire kitchen team. Every member of the team made us feel cared for and ensured we had everything we needed. They truly embody the meaning of Southern hospitality. Thank you all for making our day so special. My husband and I already say that if we ever renew our vows or host another celebration, we'll absolutely be coming back.

I just had to let you know. The atmosphere at your venue was simple, but beautiful. Everything was set up and ready when we arrived. The food was super yummy and I went for two helpings! Not to mention two helpings of dessert as well! I was most impressed with the staff who waited on us. They were so very attentive, especially to the bride-to-be. I wish I had asked for their names as they were on-point during our whole event. Every drink was filled and refilled, the food station was carefully watched to keep it neat, and they even helped with carrying the gifts and picking up the wrapping paper. They made the bride-to-be feel like a queen! I walked out with a smile on my face to see such good service (oh, and I took a salted-caramel brownie for the ride home)! Well done Venue 1223! Any event I have, you'll be first on my list to host! Many thanks for the most enjoyable day!

The outdoor area was nicely lit for the holidays. They set up only 1 bar with 2 bartenders to handle over 60 people. They did a pretty good job keeping up. The credit card charges show Downtown Deli as the business owner and not Venue 1223 (probably owned by Downtown Deli). The food was pretty good. They had people serving Hors D'oeuvres which were a charcuterie in a cup, spring rolls, chicken, etc. The main course was either chicken, beef or specialty vegetarian dish which my wife ordered. It was basically a power bowl and looked pretty good with long strips of portabella mushrooms over salad with lots of quinoa and vegetables. My chicken was a bit dry and tough. The inside is a large open area for tables, a DJ and a dance floor. The staff was friendly and did a great job keeping food and people moving.

It has no flavor aside from cinnamon. It was just hot milk & cinnamon. I added a little sugar & it helped. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich & soup of the day for my entree. I unfortunately sent it back, due to not enjoying the taste. I was excited about the soup because I was told it had chickpeas. They were not cooked properly; chickpeas typically are best a day later, although I didn't see the chickpeas.. it seems like it had lentils that weren't soaked long enough? Unsure, regardless I was not a fan. I decided to still eat here & ordered the pecan crusted grilled chicken salad. Absolutely DELICIOUS! It was such a fresh & tasty salad. If coming here I would highly recommend this! I would not recommend any of the pastries. The apple danish was slightly underbaked. I know with wet apples, the bottom can sometimes not cook all the way, so at least this one would be a no. Flavor was ok, but texture was off. I also order muffin with carrots, raisins and I believe cinnamon. I do not recommend this either. It was too heavy & not cooked well enough. Because of everything in it, it was still a little too wet. The top of it was too heavy in cinnamon, as well. Overall, if on the hunt for a salad please try this place. Otherwise, not the first choice.

They have improved the seating greatly - the seats are absolutely perfect and there is lots of space in front of you now so people can walk by when you're reclined.

The concessions are still really expensive but you know what, the movie tickets are cheap and this is how the theater makes some money. Picture and sound are excellent. Staff was friendly.
