    The ambiance of Ranchi Alegre is so comforting. There are plenty of tables and they all seemed packed with laughter. The staff was extremely kind. I decided on the arroz con gandules with yuca and tostones on the side. Everything was so fresh and delicious! I wish I tried their plantains. And it seemed like it was a common stop for drinks! I was in for a quick lunch but I look forward to trying the drinks next time.

    Sandwich de Pollo

    I had a late lunch and wanted to stop in for something for dinner. I had the Grilled Chicken Sandwich! It was really delicious with the Plantanos. The service was very good! The price was very reasonable and would definitely be back again when I come back to Savannah!

    One my favorite restaurants! The food is always great. And the bread that they bring to the table when you sit down is something to always look forward to. Highly recommend!

    Ham Coquettes and Tamale with pork

    Be ready to eat some great food and drink a lot! First of all, I love the ambiance of this restaurant. It's a taste of Havana with a bit of Savannah. Moses was my server and bartender and he and his staff took care of my every need. I recommend starting with a mojito as this is a Cuban specialty that most bars will not make. It's rum goodness with other flavors that are a treat to taste. I sampled the Ham Croquettes wish a must for anyone who has never tried them. They were fried crispy ham goodness that only the Cubans know. For the main course I ordered the bistec empanizado which is Cuban Fried steak served up with sweet friend plantains, black beans and rice. This is Cuban comfort food at its best and feel free to add a pinch of salt. The ropa viaja is next on my list! (Shredded soft Beef in creole sauce) Please don't miss the chance to experience some amazing food and service here!

    Excellent authentic Cuban food. We had the Cuban sandwich and the Baby Churrasco with Mojitos. We would order all of this again! Staff is very pleasant too!

    Good Cuban food place far from Miami. Good ambience to a New Orleans type ritmo. Came here for appetizers, the Cuban sampler hit the spot. Café con leche was good but no Cuban tostadas available. When in Savannah, will be back again

    What drink to order Mojito so good

    Took yelp reviews and didn't disappoint. I'm a Latina and thank goodness they used seasoning. Server excellent.

    Cuban with beans and salad with IPA. Delish!

    My wife and I were in Savannah for a long weekend vacation and we had heard great things about Rancho Alegre. It was only about 3 blocks from hotel. The place was good sized and kind of had a weird greeter that said "Can I help you?" Ummm....Yeah, we would like to sit down and have dinner. They had a pretty good beer list and I ordered a big IPA, which was great. I then ordered a Cuban, which is always my "Go to" with black beans and a house salad. Our server was great and the Cuban was full of pork and super succulent. the bread was perfectly pressed and the black beans were wonderful. It came out hot, which is always good. the house salad was good sized and had a fruity dressing. i would have liked options, but all-in-all, you should definitely go here while in Savannah!

    First time eating here. I had the steak sandwich which was good. I love Cuban food and will be returning. Staff was friendly and quick. Always love the Cuban bread they give you. Ambiance was nice and the restaurant is spacious.

    My sister had been here before and wanted to come back on our trip. This place is amazing. The empanadas are some of the best I've had, I would have ordered more and just had them for dinner. The seafood stuffed pineapple was delicious. Everything on my sister plate was great as well. The drinks were really good, I love that they have slushy drinks here too. Staff is very helpful. The restaurant is small but it wasn't loud at all when we were there which was nice. I will be returning someday.

    Storefront on Martin Luther King Blvd away from main part of town. Authentic Cuban look and feel inside. Came here because I love Cuban food. My husband and daughter had dined here before and loved it. Honestly I can't wait to go back when I can enjoy a few drinks with my meal. Food and service were very good. Couple things could use some improvement. Sopa Pollo, while delicious lacked substance. It was more broth than anything else. But so yummy I picked up the bowl to drink all the broth. They didn't clear our appetizer plates when our meals arrived. Just dropped them on the table and cleared nothing. We had to stack the empty plates to make room to eat our meals. I had the soup, side of sweet plantains which was yummy and the Papa Rellena, Potato ball stuffed with ground beef Nice size but kind of bland. Table hotsauce (serious heat!) took care of that. Happy we came. Definitely will be back. Sunday afternoon for lunch we walked right in. My daughter tells me it's crowded and fun on weekends with live music. Next time be back for that experience. Next time coming for margaritas & more. Was flying home in few hours so just had soda.

    What a beautiful picturesque place to have some bites and cocktails!…read more I was welcomed into this moody, velvety spot with a sweeping view of the river. Beautiful glass, marble, deep colors of navy, mauve, and gold. Service was wonderful, felt welcomed immediately. For my appetizer, I had the crab cake with homemade tartar sauce, which was a light, bright way to start the evening. For my entree, I had the filet mignon. The server will tell you, the menu says tapas, but the servings are larger than that. Meat portions are generous at 6 oz. My only complaint is that I ordered my steak medium and got closer to well done. At least the steak was still moist and not dried out, but I would be hesitant to do the steak again. The spinach risotto I had with it was creamy and cheesy, however, so that was nice. Other options for food include burrata, a charcuterie board, grilled shrimp, sea bass, salmon, scallops. The cocktails are the real star here. They fall under the categories "strong and adventurous," light fare," and "signature." Non-alcoholic cocktails are also available. I started with the medusa 1597, under "strong and adventurous." Made with Old Tom Gin, extra dry vermouth, truffle, grapefruit, and amaro, it was extremely strong. A bold, slow sipper I would have done better to have later in the evening, but I still appreciate the complexity of it. I also had the Bella primavera, a lighter cocktail under the signature section. Made with pisco, blanc vermouth, French herbal liqueur, watermelon, and basil leaf. A smoother, brighter, faster sip than the Medusa. And I also had the blood orange martini, made with French vodka, blood orange, lime, and cranberry. A little sweet, but not cloying, and again, would have been a better starter as opposed to a closer. I think when I return, I will ask the bartender to make me off the menu drinks. This place seems creative enough that the outcome would be fantastic. I loved this place. The vibe, the view, the service, the offerings. Can't wait to see what more they have in store.

    During our Savannah eating bonanza, we had brunch at Common Restaurant. The brunch menu is fairly…read moreextensive, so we had some difficulty choosing what to order....but definitely come hungry because the portions are large and the food is pretty rich. To share amongst the table, we ordered the cinnamon toast banane and crispy gouda grit croquettes. Thumbs up on both, particularly the croquettes which were the right balance of gooey and structured enough to eat with the delicious sauce on the side. The cinnamon toast banane was not so much toast as cinnamon rolls with bananas foster; the cinnamon rolls were really tasty and the bananas foster was good, though the bourbon flavor was strong. For my entree, I ordered one of the lighter vegetarian dishes - the mushroom tartine with tomato soup. I think it is one of the lighter dishes - certainly lighter than what my dining companions ordered - but it was still quite rich with a fair amount of gouda fondue in the tomato bisque soup. The mushroom tartine/sandwich was really flavorful with the pesto, cheese and tons of mushrooms. The restaurant is quite large with an upstairs seating area.

However, the lady at the front was not welcoming to us with our children. She said upfront that there are no kid menus, high chairs and strollers had to be placed elsewhere. I get it, it is good for us to know but it came across a bit unfriendly. She also did not want my daughter to momentarily sit in the waiting area with the other guests. I would understand if this was a fine dining upscale restaurant that was quiet but the ambiance was very ordinary. There was regular restaurant noise and people dressed casually. If you are going to advertise your establishment as "good for kids" please consider the way you are talking to families who want to dine here.
