    The RAW Look

    Mogan's Oyster House was a great find by my wife as we were heading home from Virginia via the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel through the DelMarVa Peninsula instead of fighting traffic on I-95. The downtown area of Salisbury and the restaurant were quiet on a Tuesday afternoon when we stopped for lunch. I'm always up for some good seafood and Mogan's is perfect. The service is great and the menu has way more choices than I expected. They have a very substantial beer and wine selection, but we had to get back on the road, so I just had to settle for a sweet iced tea. Our server informed us that Tuesdays is BOGO Lobster Roll Day and who can refuse that? The Lobster Roll is served with fries, normally for $28, but then we get 2 for 1 just because we picked a nice day! The fresh lobster meat was tenderly poached, the roll was nicely buttered and the fries were hot and crispy. We were pretty hungry from being on the road, so we ordered the daily lunch special instead of an appetizer to share, which was a Fish Sandwich, a cup of Veggie Chili and a cookie. The tasty fish was crispy fried and topped with tartar sauce on a bun. The chili was pretty good with plenty of beans and corn in a tomato base. My regret is that we won't have more chances to try all the good things on the menu because this is so out of the way for us. I really want to have some oysters, both raw and cooked. But who knows in the future if we ever come back this way again. Maybe a trip to Ocean City?

    Central downtown location in Salisbury, it offered fine seafood and a classic setting. Prices were comparable to similar restaurants. Service was courteous. I would come back again. We ordered: 4*Buffalo Fried Oysters: the oysters were served with some kind of Mexican spicy sauce. I loved it. 3.5*Grilled Oysters: they were kind of bland. 4.5*Lobster Roll: plenty of lobster meat. I switched french fries to Cesar salad: salad was also fine. Fresh and clean, better than most other restaurants.

    Service was great and so was the food. I really liked both the fried cheese curds and the seafood Newburg.

    We had Saturday lunch - not at all crowded, but the food was excellent, the service great, and the beer cold. We had the Rich Boys at our server's rec - the oysters were fresh breaded and fried and the shrimp jumbo and tasty. Seems like a hidden gem for a weekend meal, when parking is plentiful and free and there's no wait for a seat. We will be back!

    I came here for a business dinner with a large group of my colleagues, the atmosphere has a sleek modern design the staff is very professional and friendly and very helpful during our team dinner in accommodating our needs. The food and drinks were delicious my favorite were the oysters I definitely had a great experience in this restaurant and can't wait to return for future dining.

    My mother and I came to Savour for Mother's Day dinner along with 2 family members. The restaurant…read moreis very nice. All staff were very friendly, attentive and professional. The food was all visually appealing, but some was unremarkable in taste. My mother's meal was from the specials menu (forgot exact name) but had lobster tail, caviar, and orzo. She liked her meal. My uncle had the duck breast and was pleased. My aunt and I had the Rockfish Imperial. It was described as served with asparagus and fingerling potatoes. When it was brought, the portions were so small that we thought another plate was coming with the asparagus and potatoes. It was literally the fish served over what appeared to be one asparagus stalk and one fingerling potato each sliced into several pieces and hidden under the fish. It tasted good, but we expected 2 actual veggie sides, not just a single asparagus stalk and 1 potato.The creamy crab soup was bland and thin. There was no richness or body to it. It didn't have the normal Old Bay flavor and the crab was very scanty. My overall impression of Savour is that while the restaurant looks good and has nice staff, I probably wouldn't choose to return unless it was on someone else's dime. We were only there because it was the only place in the area that was able to accommodate our short notice reservation.

    Fun atmosphere and good food. We visited on a Saturday…read moreearly evening and even though it was crowded we had a short wait. They have a good selection of beer and I tried the Grapefruit Shine which I really enjoyed. I had the Ultimate Chicken Sandwich. It was a fried chicken breast on a roll with bacon, cheese and Old Bay aioli. Three of us ordered this and we all thought it was really tasty and my husband enjoyed his Hot Honey Chicken sandwich. But be warned it is messy. So yes food was good so why the four stars instead of five unfortunately it was our service. Even though we ordered our appetizer, a Bavarian pretzel ahead of time it did not come out until our meal. And yes this can be timing from the kitchen. But we hardly saw our server, her section for the evening was so spread out that she was not attentive to us. We will still go back just hoping our service will be better.

And because we are a Responsible Professional Company we were on-site 15 hours early. Imagine my delight when I saw that the receiving building shared a lot with a brewery teehee. Truck stop tacos for dinner? - I think not. Now in other reviews you know how I feel about breweries without food. Not the case here - pizzas, sandos, pretzels, salads, wings. And the beer list?? Multiple sours for me, hazy IPAs for he, and pumpkin flavored beer to usher in autumn. After that huge setup all we got were fries and beer lmao. The point is we COULD HAVE gotten more if we wanted it. Fries were hot and crispy. The pumpkin beer was incredible. And of note, the actual restaurant space was huge. With Rona numbers on the rise, we opted to sit outside on the huge patio. All in all, def worth a visit especially if you're in nearby Assateague or similar attractions and are tired of crabs lol.

Sat relatively fast and our server (forget his name) gave us a heads up that the kitchen was behind. We ordered then expecting to wait but the food came out very fast.

Overall a very good experience and would go again when in town.

    **in response to the owners comment, we never met you. We didn't send food back nor did we request…read morenew food, and you, nor anyone else EVER brought me any additional drink on the house. I only had the one I paid for. There's no need to lie, bad days happen. This is not a speakeasy, this is a restaurant cosplaying as a speakeasy. That may be a bit harsh, it's a speakeasy in training. Sure, it's got all of the speakeasy decor, blackout curtains over the windows and doors, and a big selection of pedestrian liquor but it's not quite there. We went in on an early evening on Wed and there were maybe 5 other patrons in there. Our waitress was nice and brought us water to the high top. She brought us two food menus, and a specials menu. I asked for a bourbon list and she brought it; no prices on the list. Annoying. On the specials menu there was a small section of manager recommended drinks and one was a Willet. The way it was written was confusing because it said it was both a 4 year and 14 year for $52, so I asked for clarification on the age statement. She took the menu to the barkeep, who confirmed it was a 14 year so I said yes I'll have that. A drink was brought to me, but I could tell from the taste that it was not what I ordered. I asked the waitress for the bottle, she asked the guy behind the bar for the bottle and he pulled down a willet pot still bottle (pot still is the entry level Willet and at best a 5 dollar pour, no where near what I asked for). I told her that I was given the wrong drink, then she approached the bar and between her, and the male and female bartenders they had a weird back and forth conversation. Then, finally they pulled down the bottle that I asked for, that was advertised, and gave me a pour of it. I asked to see the bottle and the waitress brought it over but held it instead of putting it on the table (it was a 13 year Willet, Paper Trail). As we were about to order we were told that they reset the menu the very day before, with the focus of putting more love and care into the food. Feeling good about that, we ordered the French quarter catfish and the bourbon braised short ribs. The corn that came with the short ribs tasted straight out of a store bought steamable pouch, and the "ribs" weren't ribs at all, just sliced meat. The only redeemable thing about the catfish dish was the aioli; the rice had no flavor, the corn was cold and hard, and the catfish was mostly breading. We both took a few bites and resigned. I have been to many speakeasies around the US, and there are common themes: a much better selection of liquor; 95% of the bourbon were low tier bottles you can find in any liquor store for around $50. Also, when customers ask for the bottle, it isn't because we plan to steal it or drink from it, its because we're genuinely interested in the information on the labels. The quickest way to get people to stop spending money is to make them feel as if they can't be trusted touching a bottle. Perhaps it was an off day for the staff and this wasn't a typical experience, but I won't go back.
