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.

It is a beautiful space in downtown Savannah, right next to one of the historic squares. We used…read morethe space for a professional event and it was fantastic. James (the owner) is incredibly easy to work with, very responsive to texts and emails, and was there the day of the event to assist with any logistics. We brought in some folding chairs and the Clearing House also had some, ask what is available and what you might need to bring in (tables, AV, cables, etc). We were allowed to bring in outside food for breakfast. The space is gorgeous, with large windows, tons of natural light, hardwood floors. The participants enjoyed the venue and we received a lot of positive feedback afterward. The only issue that is out of the control of Clearing House is parking. Our event was on the weekend so no one had an issue, but if you choose to host a weekday event it's something to keep in mind. Can't recommend this place enough! And it's reasonably priced when compared to other downtown venues. Can't beat that!

This is exactly the type of place I was looking for. The gardens themselves are smaller than other gardens I have visited. The main attraction for me was the additional trails you could walk along. The trails helped make the trip a little longer and more worthwhile. This is a nice relaxing stop if looking for something more low-key and quiet.

A wonderful walk thru of pretty blooms, a pond, and a small children's garden, so they have the whole family covered. My only comment is that on line it says free, but when u get there it says $5/adult. Just leave a donation, people are volunteering their services to provide a beautiful space, the least we can do is put money in the box. Come see for yourself

Huge fluffy waffle the size of your plate with two large southern fried chicken pieces. Lots of butter and chilli syrup and also plain syrup on request. Delicious.

Flakey crust, filled with tomotes, covered in cheese and drizzled with sticky, thick balsamic vinegar. Two pieces in your plate. They offer a host of brunch cocktails and the loaded bloody Mary seems the most popular. Love this spot. When in Savannah do not miss. They are open breakfast, lunch and dinner but we like the weekend brunch til 2. Happy hour 4-9. 5 stars all the way
