    Georgia ferry and dinner cruise
    Ricarta C.

    Just breath taking ! Came for a walk during the sunset to have dinner and drinks and it was just perfection! From live music , great food and bars and overall ambiance. I love the new JW Marriott and already booked a weekend again just to stay there !

    It's a fun place to visit. The river views are impressive. It's a place you can explore without venturing far and no vehicles. Now I did not see the hotels and some of the food kind of looked Resort quick service., it was fun to visit and would probably do again

    Plant Riverside District is owned by Marriott. If you're looking for local, this ain't it. The whole complex feels very manufactured, almost like a movie set. It's definitely nice, don't get me wrong. It's like a cruise on land. Everything you could possibly need is in this little district--sushi, Mexican, pizza, seafood, etc. But if you never leave, you won't experience Savannah. We would go to a million other places before we ate again at any of the restaurants at Plant Riverside District. Please don't make the same mistake we did. Go somewhere local!

    I would hope Yelp will re-categorize Plant Riverside, because it's not a "lounge" but more akin to a mall/multi-use complex. I have a degree in architectural history and an especial interest in power plant architecture, so honestly I am a pretty tough customer for things like this--I often find adaptive reuse of industrial structures wanting because often the industrial basis of the structure is erased or not fully explained in the reuse. Not here, I had an informal tour today by a staff member and was very impressed with the lengths they've gone to in order to retain the diverse history of the former power plant--built in 1912 and in use amazingly until 2005--but also the history of Savannah as a port. The multi-use facility consists of several buildings centered around a hotel but containing a variety of restaurants, shops, and a couple bars. There will apparently be a music venue/theatre, also but that's still very much under construction. The restaurants are not all yet open but a seafood bar, BBQ restaurant, Starbucks, and a few others are up and running. They will be joined by an ice cream stand, a popsicle stand also, a high-end steakhouse, and more. The interior atrium which was the former turbine hall houses a collection of gems and rocks plus a massive sculpture of a dinosaur native to America and smaller dino-themed sculptures and artwork. The treatment of the riverwalk section was especially impressive: it flows well into the extant riverwalk and also contains at its far western end a park dedicated to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I ate at the seafood restaurant and deem it good, as well. A lot could have gone wrong with this project or it could have come in sub-par or not in accord with its surroundings, but it didn't. It brought out the best of its site with flair and imagination--it's the sort of development I'd expect in New Orleans, Charlotte, or Atlanta. It seriously raises the bar for development in Savannah.

    I only recently discovered this area of Savannah. It's surrounding the old nuclear plant and has been turned into a swanky shopping and eating area with the amazing Webster's chop house, beer garden and more! Today we came down for the Savannah Christmas Market and boat parade. The Christmas market will be going on until January. I highly recommend you make your way down here. You won't be disappointed!

    Plant riverside district is a lovely promenade in Savannah. It's got beautiful brick buildings with glass kiosks and open gazebos .They've done a wonderful job adding new places while keeping the aesthetics tied to our charming city. Lots of places to eat and relax here ! There's a beautifully located Starbucks where you can just pick up your coffee and sit outside watching the ships go by . Hankering for some seafood like me (always!!) ? No worries - you've got low country broil and a sushi kiosk! Just feel like a snack ? - there's Brunswick cafe. They also have Savannah Square pops - all natural, fresh and delicious popsicles . This is a lovely walk along riverside and a place to just de-stress with a stroll and relax while watching the waters. Oh and did I mention, it's completely dog friendly and you can take your fur babies along with you to all these places ! To summarize, it's a lovely new addition to riverside and I highly recommend visiting !

    Lots to like here. An assortment of restaurants, bars and shops, with the centerpiece Mariott Hotel and museum-like lobby/atrium. The view of the Savannah River is nice.

    Soaking in the joy!

    I don't know the password. I'm told you have to get the password from your hotel concierge, but I…read moredon't know that's gonna get you there either. But I do know if you buy a ticket to the basement Delilah's burlesque show, you get automatic entrance. The drinks are fine. Basics like mojito, daiquiri, Cuba libre, rum punch. Martinis, old fashions, corpse reviver, etc. Nothing innovative here, but the very cool seating area is what you're after here. The service is good. The best part is the burlesque show. It was an exceptional hour of entertainment. Since it was October, the girls did Halloween themed shows, like Thriller and zombie dances. Colorful, exciting, exotic, creative. I paid almost 123 dollars for a VIP table (three seats, I was solo, so essentially I paid for three seats at one table) up front. It's a super small venue and the general admission seats are mere feet behind the tables and much cheaper. So I wouldn't recommend the VIP tables unless you're just wanting to spend big for no reason. Loved the Delilah's. It's really the only reason to go to Mata Hari's though.

    What a great little secret Speakeasy. Super dark inside, old time vibes like the old flapper days…read more Servers were nice, drinks were strong, and service was good. Get the ticket to the burlesque show, great time inside.
