The ambience is the best! Very romantic and candlelit. Piano player was nice touch. Love, love, the the old, dingy feel. It DOES make you feel like a pirate. You can dine in the old vault, which now is a wine cellar. It was super neat. I wish we would have known before we made reservations at the Olde Pink House. Pricey cocktails, ok bartender, and disappointed Mrs Habersham didn't visit me in the ladies room! read more

Bourbon on the rocks and show tunes. good vibes... not a cocktail lounge though

Ate at Planters Tavern on a recent Girls Weekend, stopping in for dinner our first night in Savannah. We had to wait an hour for a table (not ideal) but the food was the best we had the whole trip! The three of us shared a few appetizers and one entree and thought it was plenty of food. Highly recommend the chicken livers and fried green tomatoes! Ambiance was nice and live music was a plus. It was pretty dark down there but our eyes adjusted after a while. read more

This place is a must visit when in Savannah. The service was great and drinks were strong. In love with the ambience. You feel like you've stepped back in time. read more

Incredible! We walked in on a night that the city was swarming with Rock and Roll Marathon attendees figuring a long wait for a table. We got lucky and were seated inside 15 minutes at a small table in front of the fireplace. Spencer was our waiter (you have to ask for him) and the service was spot on. I ordered the grouper and my wife a seafood pasta, both dishes were perfect, The deserts were impeccable (have to try the chocolate pecan pie). The whole vibe of this place is fantastic and combined with the food quality and the service we were in heaven. read more

Romantic and intimate bar mixed with fine dining

Great spot for a drink on date night. Historic and romantic.

Amazing modern interpretations of low country cuisine. Love the ambiance; reminds me of the bars in some old New England inns. Have never bothered making a reservation for upstairs. Great wine list. Classy service. read more

My fiance and I stepped in for entrees after having apps at Jazz'd. This place was absolutely perfect for a Valentines Day date,. Ambiance was amazing and the food is the same as The Pink House. The only detraction was that it was understandably crowded. We were told a 2 hour wait for a table but we just hovered around the bar and actually got to sit after only about 30 mins. read more

I loved this place! In the basement of the Pink House, the atmosphere was unique, like walking into a 1770's Boston tavern. There was live music a bar and everything on the Pink House menu can be ordered here. We had fried green tomato with cream corn and bacon which was delish but too salty. The duck was awesome. read more

Had dinner here with my husband. Had the pork shanks! Seriously good! The pork fell off the bone and very tender. We are from the north but the collards were great! Mac n cheese was very good!! Highly highly recommend!! read more

Went here a few weeks back and had a drink at the bar. Was looking to order some food when one of the bartenders broke a glass over the ice well... And kept using the ice. Granted it's dark and maybbeeeee my depth perception was off, BUT, he looked to see if anyone saw, and kept going. Not exactly the type of thing a guest dining wants to see while sitting at the bar. Made us think twice about food, and immediately left. Couldn't find a manager to talk to, just a heads up. Won't go back. read more

My new favorite spot in Savannah. Stopped by after dinner with my fiancé and loved it. Great atmosphere and great drinks. Very intimate spot. Will be stopping by on all of my trips to Savannah. read more

Haven't been here in a while but so adorable and romantic. If your in need for an adult night away from the kiddos this won't disappoint.

My wife and I went here after reading the reviews. We were not disappointed. Love the vibe. As some have said it's like an old speakeasy. Food was great, and the bartenders were very friendly and top notch. Server was excellent as well. We've been to Savannah 5 times and never tried this place. We'll definitely go back. read more

TOP 15 MEALS OF MY LIFE: After reading other reviews, we tried Planters Tavern, intending to get a drink and an app before we headed out to our dinner rez. We sat at the bar, and the bartender immediatley came over and was super friendly and helpful. After a round of amazing apps and a pineapple upside down martini, we decided to cancel our other dinner rez and stay at Planters for the entrees. Husband had the pork tenderloin rubbed with espresso with gorganzola butter, collards, and sweet potatoes with a bourbon glaze. I had the fried pork chop with home made mushroom gravy, mac and cheese and snap peas. Pork was so tender you didnt need a knife. Gravies were amazing, homemade and declicious. Bill was $80 for 2 drinks, 2 apps, 2 entrees - well worth it. read more

Amazing!!! From the service to the food everything was impeccable! I had the shrimp and scallops over angel hair pasta and it was delicious-not too rich or thick. The best scallops I have ever had. My boyfriend had fried chicken and Mac and cheese and really enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to welcome us and spent time talking to us. We got there around 5:30 so we were able to get a table with no problem but I see how it can be a long wait the later it gets. It is well worth it though! read more

We go at least twice in our annual 5 night vacation there. For soup one night, and another for the scored flounder. To our disappointment they had run out last night when we arrived. So we settled on the duck, or so we thought. OMG, the duck was so tasty, and the collards and mac and cheese spot on. Even though we hadn't been there since last Thanksgiving week, the bartender recognized us, and of course her service was amazing as usual. This is bucket list people. Don't let the price scare you off. It is worth every penny and then some. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday night for a few drinks. My wife and I were looking for a speakeasy-type place that served good cocktails. Lit mostly by candlelight, the vibe here was super-moody and romantic. We had a pair of Sazeracs, which were tasty enough to warrant another round. Honestly a killer place...my favorite spot in town for sure. read more

Last night in Savannah, we chose to eat here after a Film Festival viewing. Big Mistake. We walked in the outside steps, as described to do by our B&B owners. There was no hostess in sight, none of the staff looked our way. After wandering around a bit, we approached a server and asked if we should just sit. She said yes, so we sat and waited some more. Finally, someone noticed us, asked if we had been seated by the hostess and had menus (no to both). She gave us menus and said she would tell our server. Both tables for two that were empty were located with big air vents blowing directly on us. We asked our server about another table and gave the reason, but she just said those were the only tables for two, even though two tables for four were empty the entire time we were there. Our server was not friendly at all...until she delivered the check (so obvious a personality change, it was almost laughable). .Perhaps she was in a sour mood due to the entertainment, which was horrible - the worst I have ever endured! A flapper girl delivered a monologue, played piano (her one talent), and sang off-key and way too loudly for the low-ceilinged room. Drinks that are typically served on the rocks were not (and we were not asked our preference). Seriously, a margarita served straight up??? The food (same menu as the Old Pink House upstairs) was good, but not great. I liked their "award-winning" shrimp and grits, but my husband much preferred Alligator Soul's. The squash ravioli we shared was hit and miss (balsamic vinegar too harsh for the dish and ravioli at some pre-al dente state, but good flavors otherwise and nice to have the dish split and plated with good presentation. Atmosphere is a cross between Williamsburg tavern and a speakeasy, which is nice, but everything else ranged from half a thumb up to three thumbs down. How sad to have wasted one of three evening meals here:(. NOT RECOMMENDED!! read more

Excellent atmosphere, though be aware the room is tight when filled. Service was great (our server himself deserves 5 stars!) We arrived at 10:30pm looking for a nice nightcap. Bar was full and the piano area around the fireplace was packed. We sat and enjoyed the music and ambiance for 45 min or so (the crowd thinned out markedly once the pianist finished). When we were asked if we want another drink (again, excellent & attentive server), we inquired as to what time they closed just to gauge our remaining drink consumption. Out of the blue, a woman rushed over to tell us very firmly and rather aggressively that, "they had closed an hour ago." She made us feel very awkward and we didn't understand why we were even let in the door or notified only 45 min earlier that it was last call or closing soon. And it was equally frustrating because there were still at least 10 people still in the place enjoying themselves. The woman's name is Whittle and I hope by posting this, she realizes a critical component of managing is not only how you approach customers, but how you model your behavior in front of employees. read more

My group of gals and I planned to have dinner here after seeing Lady Chablis. Our concierge recommended this place as an alternative to the Pink House (impossible to get a reservation). It should be noted that this is a tavern located in the basement of the Pink House and the food is the same menu as the Pink House. There were enough negatives to impact my rating. The cons: 1) Even though we were told there would not be a long wait, we did not get seated to eat for 90+minutes. 2) Pricing versus portions (not good). 3) Seating was so uncomfortable. 4) Ladie's room was gross and the entire place just did not look clean in general. 5) Service was terrible. The positives: 1) The food was delicious although the portions were ridiculously small. 2) The wait was painful but made less excruciating by the piano player and the female singer that accompanied him. The crowd also got into the act and we had fun watching the drunks get crazy. Overall: This place needs to be more accommodating. There is definitely space to include more tables. Several people left due to the wait and my friends and I ordered appetizers as our meals because it was so late by the time we got a table. Like I said, what we got was absolutely delicious but the portions were minuscule. They could improve here (how about 3 scallops or even 4?). I ordered the scallop appetizer and got two very small scallops with a dollop of spinach underneath. I wanted more of the spinach too! For what we paid, we expected more. We were not impressed with the cocktails either. Next visit to Savannah, I won't need to come back here. Everyone raves about the "Pink House" but in all honesty, you can get equally delicious food all over Savannah with better service and a friendlier atmosphere with less of a wait. Not one of the highlights of our trip...not even close. read more

Celebrating my wife's birthday and this was a truly special location. Great ambience with the candle-lit tables and the piano/bass duo in the background. Our server, Kelvin, was excellent and let us linger and enjoy the evening. Top it off with great food and "Uncle Vals" gin for our martinis. Great place! read more

Every meal we've ever had here was amazing. The chicken dishes are all incredible, and the ambiance, bartenders and drinks are smashing. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone. Always worth the wait; sitting at the bar is great, too. read more

Went here before our reservation at the old pink house. Great drinks and appetizers. I can't remember what I had, but was excellent. It was dark and old, but that is just the way I like bars. We sat at the bar and were able to order the appetizers there. read more

What an amazing experience! Wonderful atmosphere and ambiance! And the old fashions-Brigette made two of the best Old Fashions!

Went to this restaurant after reading the review. Restaurant was located in the basement of the building. Dark and intimate. Had the grouper stuffed crab. The fish was absolutely delicious. One of the best meals I had in a four-week long trip in the south. I went early so did not have a problem getting seated. Service was very friendly. If one drives, parking might be a problem. read more

Got there around 4:30 and since the Olde Pink House restaurant didn't have tables available until later that night we asked if they had a bar area to eat in. We had great drinks, a fantastic meal (bacon cheese burger and pork loin with okra and sweet potato) and our waiter was wonderful. Had a great time and we would highly recommend if you want to enjoy a lighter meal and some refreshing drinks. Try the strawberry lemonade (alcoholic beverage)...its new and tastes amazing. Drinks were a little pricey for what you get but still great. read more

Great atmosphere, husband and I walked in without reservation, waited about 30 minutes. We had a pink lady and pear martini, absolutely to die for. My husband ordered blue crab stuffed grouper and I order the almond encrusted tilapia w/shrimp herb butter--- best meal in Savannah- the staff was knowledgeable , also the host gave us the best table there- two top next to a GIANT fireplace, two leather wing-backed chairs- awesome!!! read more

Just wanted to say. Ran into this place by local word of mouth. Dark, candlelit, cozy, a piano bar with an amazing chanteuse.All this would have been enough, but then the dinner itself was truly amazing. My husband had the pork tenderloin with sweet potatoes, perfectly cook at medium. Fork tender. I had the scallops served with amazing mashed potatoes and green beans. Tender and succulent. Rarely have I encountered scallops to equal these. A lovely and unexpectedly delightful "find ". Carole and Rich. Oak Park Ill. read more

On a one-night stay over in Savannah, our hotel concierge recommended Planters Tavern. It could not have been a better choice. Our server Chris was attentive without being overbearing. He also spent time telling us about the history of the tavern-fascinating. As for food, great! The she crab soup was full of crab and totally creamy; crispy flounder unique and perfectly cooked-great flavor and the sauce on the sweet-sour side but very good; shrimp and grits appetizer very rich and a good size; wedge salad simple but very nice presentation and dressing excellent. The bad news was we were too full to consider dessert. Oh yes, the Bloody Mary with chili vodka is not to be missed. read more

Planter's Tavern is the bar beneath the Pink House Restaurant. You enter it through a staircase to the left of the main entrance to the restaurant. They have a great menu and the service is impeccable and you can also order the first class fare from the restaurant. Four of us were there and after dinner we moved to the luxerious leather couches over by the fireplace and enjoyed the beautiful music by the piano man, Henry Downing (I think). His playing is so beautiful because it is evident he is playing from the heart and from a love of the music and the instrument. It was perfect for our last night in town! read more

Loved this place. Awesome atmosphere, great food and excellent service. We are still talking about the food today. Portions are large and so my husband and I split an entree and an appetizer and still had food to take back to the hotel. Loved it. read more
