    Tomato bisque

    What a great find this restaurant was. We had been in the car 9 hours and needed a relaxing calm place, Sharon our server was amazing! She recommended the seafood special, it was perfect. Cosmo was the best I've had had in a long time. We will be back!!

    Side Caesar Salad

    I haven't been to Sam Snead's in awhile but a Birthday Celebration brought me back! It's a nice setup but definitely a casual vibe. It was September and still hot out but the air was blasting to the point everyone was going to the car for a jacket. We asked our server and they eventually turned it down. My nose started running... The menu has alot of variety and from.what I hear you can't go wrong. I ordered a side Cesar Salad and the Flatbread. I can be very indecisive so being able to do 1/2 Chicken & 1/2 Steak! I enjoyed my meal and I had enough flatbread to take home for a snack! Everyone in the party reported enjoying their food and drinks! Our server was very attentive and ensured we were taken care of! I will return & you should give it a try!!!!

    Top Sirloin Steak

    Located close to the airport, Sam Snead's Tavern is always consistent and the food is delicious. Perfect for a business meeting, date night, or place to meet friends. The crowd is typically a tad older. They have a decent sized menu. I love their French onion soup. The flatbreads are massive! You can't go wrong-- they're all delicious. The sandwich's and burgers are also a good choice. The steaks and juicy and typically served with smashed potatoes. The only odd menu item is the chicken Marsala, it's delicious but don't expect a traditional Italian-style Marsala.

    The food was good. The server was attentive. It was a little too dark for liking but otherwise I did like the George bush signed pictures.

    Fish and Chips dinner
    Bill J.

    My wife and I love this place. We started off with drinks from the bar. My wife got a smoky Manhattan, and it was served with a lid on. When she removed the lid, the smoke rose from the drink. Really cool! (That made my Rum and Coke look boring. But it was as good, though!). For dinner, I had the Chicken Tenders dinner, which was really tasty. It came with my choice of two sides, so I selected mashed redskin potatoes, and some cole slaw. My wife opted for the Tavern Flatbread. She couldn't decide if she wanted Steak or Spicy Shrimp, so our server suggested that she order it half and half. Steak on one side, and spicy shrimp on the other! That's exactly what she did and she loved it! Food and service here is great, and it's a very pleasant atmosphere.

    French Tavern Onion Soup
    Ariella V.

    French onion soup is seriously AMAZING! Make sure you order one. Also, kids grilled cheese was so good too. Crispy and fresh. My husband and I ordered burgers and I have to say they were delicious. The only thing I have to say is the fries aren't to die for but that's doesn't mean they deserve a lesser star for it. They weren't too hot or crispy. Just okay. But the ambiance is threat, bathrooms are super clean, sweet iced tea is great, and prices were also reasonable. Would definitely come back if we're ever back out that way! Great location too!

    One of the best burgers I've had in Savannah. Service was great, wait time was pretty quick, based on a busy lunch crowd. Ambiace was upscale.

    Well located for a beer call after work, a celebration, a meal just passing through , a meal before or after flights or a round of golf. Service (most recently by Lisa) is excellent, and the location nicely decorated with a variety of seating options. Indoor, outdoor, bar, high tops, tables, booths. Food is great, always tasty with something for everyone

    Myra S.

    2.5 rating. Date 4/4/24 Lovely atmosphere, and they were busy. Our waiter Paul 3.5 stars outta 5, overall great personality but lacked detail towards table, ie refills etc. Also, being the specific person I am, I asked if the crab cakes have a lot of bread. His response, no. Crab cakes arrive, and I was playing find the crab meat. Shared this with him, and he stated he would let the kitchen know. Well, alright then.

    After capturing several ghosts in Savannah, I found myself in desperate need of a proper meal, a…read morestrong drink, and a place where the spirits would remain in their glasses. That search led me to The Olde Pink House--a magnificent historic mansion dating back to 1771, now home to one of Savannah's most memorable restaurants. The décor is beautiful, with antique furnishings, fireplaces, elegant woodwork, chandeliers, and enough historical character to make any ghost hunter feel immediately at home. The building is surprisingly large, with numerous dining rooms, each decorated and arranged differently. Exploring it feels almost like wandering through a well-preserved haunted mansion--though thankfully, the staff were much friendlier than the ghosts I had recently captured. The food was excellent, and everyone in our party enjoyed what they ordered. I'm not usually much of a beer drinker, but I tried the Hostess City, a craft beer brewed exclusively for The Olde Pink House, and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Our server was wonderful, and we were even able to exchange ghost stories with them. We all had a good laugh, although I'm fairly certain one of the portraits nearby was laughing along with us. We arrived dressed entirely in black, and not a single person batted an eye. In Savannah, this is apparently considered perfectly respectable evening attire--or perhaps everyone simply assumed we were attending a funeral for one of the restless dead. After dinner, we asked whether we could explore the other sections of the restaurant, and we were told it would be no problem. We were able to visit the different dining rooms and examine the antiques and objects respectfully without disturbing the other guests. Be sure to visit the bar downstairs, Planters Tavern. It has a wonderfully haunted atmosphere, with brick walls, old-world décor, and a beautiful fireplace that must be especially inviting during the winter months. The basement's fireplaces were reportedly part of the home's original kitchen, which only adds to the feeling that the room remembers far more than it lets on. The Olde Pink House offers excellent food, beautiful surroundings, friendly service, and just enough supernatural atmosphere to keep a ghost hunter interested. I arrived looking for somewhere to recover from the night's haunting. I left well fed, pleasantly spirits-laden, and only mildly concerned that one of the ghosts may have followed me home.

It was dimly lit and had a warm, inviting atmosphere and our server was awesome! To start, we all got the cucumber blossom cocktail. I got mine with tequila and the server was very knowledgeable about the drinks and the liquors that would work well with each one. We decided the best route for us was to split 2 apps and 2 entrees. For appetizers, we went with the focaccia and the crispy brussel sprouts. Both were AMAZING! I always love bread to start a meal. And the Brussels were nice and soaked in balsamic glaze, which maybe diminished the "crispy" in the title... but I didn't mind because they were delicious. For our entrees, we went with the gnocchi and the catfish served over grits. I would say the standout was the catfish. The gnocchi was good, but not as good as the other dishes we had. Overall we had a great experience splurging a bit on a nice meal. I would definitely recommend getting a reservation on the weekends. They seemed to be busy!

It felt like a quick dismissal. I had to ask if there was a waitlist, and only then were we told it was about 45 minutes. On top of that, parts of the conversation were directed to my husband rather than me (even though I was the one speaking), which didn't sit right. This interaction was with a hostess [long hair, glasses]. Thankfully, another hostess [short blonde hair, orange pants] stepped in, and they shuffled some tables, and got us seated -- which we really appreciated, especially with a toddler. From there, the experience completely turned around. The ambiance was really cute -- dim lighting with little candles that made it feel cozy and romantic. Our server [tall, muscular] was fantastic and the food was genuinely very good. So here's the takeaway: the kitchen and service once seated are strong, but the first impression at the door needs work. It shouldn't take a second ask to feel like a guest.

Been here for both dinner and lunch. All this said, I think my approach to this review is comprehensive. With regard to food, I think they have a decent (not expansive) selection of food, which I think lends itself to quality. They do most things really well. This said, I do think there is inconsistency based on staff at the restaurant. On one occasion they have accommodated a request, and on another I was denied the exact same request. I found this frustrating. On one occasion I've also seen management talk down to staff here, which is a big no no for me. All people (especially staff) are due respect and this rubbed me the wrong way. This was an isolated incident but it definitely made my dining experience uncomfortable. Especially because I was getting excellent service from the server!!! I've always had quality service from servers here. In the future, I would come to Rhett for convenience as a hotel guest (the hotel is lovely), but would likely not spend my money if I wasn't staying at the hotel. Overall- it's good food, decent ambiance... but there are soooo many good options in Savannah. You have to be exceptional to stand out in that city.

Sitting along the river while watching massive cargo ships slowly make their way toward the Atlantic creates one of those uniquely Savannah experiences you simply can't find anywhere else. Our server, Matthew, was outstanding. Friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely made the evening even more enjoyable. Service like his is a big part of what turns a great meal into an unforgettable one. Now, the food... The crab cake was one of the best I've ever had--easily 95% lump crab with barely any filler. Just fresh, sweet crab prepared perfectly. The beef carpaccio was elegant, incredibly flavorful, and disappeared far too quickly. Then came the French onion soup. There's a reason the National Onion Association recognized it as the best. Rich, deeply caramelized, perfectly balanced, and topped with a blanket of bubbling cheese. Without question, the best French onion soup I've ever had. The black truffle scallops were buttery, tender, and absolutely decadent. The evening's special--a blackened filet paired with shrimp linguine--was phenomenal. The filet was cooked to perfection, and the shrimp linguine brought bold Cajun flavors that made us feel like we had been transported straight to Louisiana. To finish it all off, watching enormous cargo ships leave the Port of Savannah bound for destinations around the world while enjoying an incredible meal is an experience all its own. Vic's on the River delivered on every level: exceptional food, first-class service, and an atmosphere that's impossible to duplicate. This wasn't just another dinner--it was one of the highlights of our trip to Savannah. Don't leave without ordering the French onion soup. And if you're lucky enough to have Matthew as your server, you're in for a memorable evening.
