We sat at the outside bar where Ricky took care of us. He's awesome! He had great menu input, let me sample one of the IPAs before ordering, and overall was just a very pleasant guy. Since we sat outside, I can't speak as to the ambience of the inside dining room, but I highly recommend sitting outside and catching the island vibe. I can't wait to go back!

Here's a note I just sent to Venue 1223 after attending a bridal shower at their venue today:…read more Hello Venue 1223 - I attended a shower at your venue today and it was beyond outstanding! 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!

My wife and I visited as part of a community Christmas party. This seems to be a nice party venue…read morepossibly best used for weddings, large parties and business events. 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.

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.

The two mini-split units were both set to 65°F, and there was a large wall-mounted fan running, but it still felt much hotter inside than it did outside. Several guests, including my husband and me, had to step outside multiple times just to cool off. It made it difficult to fully enjoy the celebration. I truly hope this issue is addressed before anyone else rents the space, especially during the summer months. With the cooling problem resolved, I believe future guests would have a much more comfortable experience.

Loved everything about this place and looking forward to making it a monthly regular!…read more Service was awesome and very attentive but not over the top. The hostess was a doll and told us she was so excited for us to try the food since it was our first time in. She didn't lie, it was great!! The interior gives calming "high tea" vibes but also very chill and the outside dining reminds you the little slice of paradise that Beaufort is. Private parking lot which was perfect and nice to be away from busy downtown.

Back a year later and there has been distinct improvements. However, let me start by recommending…read moreyou AVOID the food trucks in the beer garden. Here's why: when paying the person processing my payment selected the tip level and paid themselves a 30% tip before I could do anything about it, so beware. Inside, the food and beer are better. There is also a large beer selection inside instead of ordering at the outside window, but the service in both of these locations was excellent. They also had live entertainment, which was a great addition. Food has improved. Try the dry rub chipotle wings. They are delicious. Owners: look into the food truck issue. You will lose customers because of this. I did not make an issue of it because I was with a large group and did not worry about the $8 auto tip on a $17 total bill but if this happened all the time it will catch up with you. Worth addressing.

This place has definitely gotten very more kid, friendly, they do not have their merchandise area…read morelike they had before. It is now all kid games and vending machines, and all their merchandise is packed in the corner by the side door. And I understand they wanna be family, friendly, and kid oriented however they also have moved their chips and salsa from their menu; and there's lots of families with little kids so if you wanna come here, I don't recommend coming on a Sunday night. Since it is Sunday night, they have all of the sport games playing they have baseball, soccer, golf, etc. I'm pretty sure they do watching for the FIFA as well. Overall, our bartender is very knowledgeable regarding what drinks have dairy one of the sours has dairy. His name is: Bryce One of their light wheat beers has dairy, and their dark stout also has dairy. It is not mentioned in the menu given to us for their taps, etc. however, it definitely should be added to the menu.
