    Bread appetizer with tasty pimento butter spread
    Tracy N.

    Cute place; only valet parking so make sure you bring cash. Food was good. Had the lamb shank and creme brûlée but forgot to take a pic of those. Sorry. It's a cute tucked away place and the enclosed glass patio will be wonderful this summer when it's hot and humid outside and you want the feel of the outdoors but not the stickiness. Service was ok, they rushed us out a bit.

    Steak frites
    Jacquelyn C.

    Food here is good and service is great! We were sat in the private room with large windows and the ambience was amazing. The beet hummus was light and refreshing and the fritto misto was a great blend of calamari and shrimp. I especially loved the garlic aioli that came with it. The steak frites was also good, but my steak was a tad overdone for a medium rare. The fries were delicious and were especially good with the garlic aioli once again. For dessert I got the creme brulee and sampled the tiramisu, both of which were absolutely delicious. Their cocktails are also delicious.

    Black truffle pasta, mushroom risotto

    Came to celebrate a birthday and it was such a wonderful experience! Beautiful restaurant, both inside and out. We sat on the patio and it was lovely. We started with the charcuterie board and bread service--both of which were phenomenal. The charcuterie included a cheese similar to Brie with a different name because it's from Massachusetts, Manchego, and raclette paired with some meat and some fantastic pita style bread. The bread service came with a brioche, homestyle bread, two others, and a really good butter. For mains, we tried the steak and frittes (delicious!), the mushroom risotto (so good), and the black truffle pasta from off-menu (the best thing we had). For dessert we had a crème brûlée. Our waiter, Rafael, was extremely friendly, a great conversationalist, and made wonderful suggestions!

    This used to be one of my go-to spots in 2022-2023, but unfortunately it has gone downhill, and I don't see it ever making a comeback. I came for brunch with two friends, and the restaurant was empty. Half of the lights weren't even on, which made the atmosphere weird. The service also felt awkward. Our server dropped our espresso martinis, and while accidents happen, instead of apologizing first, he immediately tried to joke about it. A sincere apology would have gone a long way, and I was surprised the drinks weren't comped. There was no sense of urgency when making me a new drink either. The food was the one good thing, it was still really good and didn't disappoint. I loved the brioche french toast. It did take forever to come out though. The overall vibe was off, and it was extremely hot inside, which made the experience worse. Sadly, I probably won't be coming back here. I also wish they would bring back the old menu. The cacio e pepe, short rib, and the pizzas they used to serve were to die for. The old savoir will be missed

    Avocado Benedict

    Savoir has new ownership and a revamped menu and it's definitely worth a visit. I went during HRE for lunch and got escargot and a pasta dish for $25 and it was a super good deal. Escargot was creamy and garlicky, just how I like them. No funky snail taste.

    Sancerre Sauvignon blanc
    Heather M.

    It looks so inviting from the outside and it's really pretty inside too. We sat in the bar area and it was so nice because it wasn't very busy at all in there. We were just going to get a drink but then decided on appetisers too - raw oysters, calamari, and the brie. Everything was so delicious! The service was very good too. Major bonus points: They offer glasses of Sancerre sauvignon blanc; made my day! And their bathroom is absolutely wonderful. It's very dark and so easy on the eyes, especially for light-sensitive people like myself.

    One of my besties and I wanted to take our moms to brunch. Savoir was perfect comzy comfy place on an early Sunday afternoon. Every plate we ordered was simply delicious and so filling, from the Avocado Toast to the Chicken & Waffles to the BLT Breakfast Sandwich. I ordered plain black coffee and it surpassed the taste test. The staff was very accommodating, from the host at the front to our wonderful waiter. It wasn't my 1st time here, but I am making Savoir 1 of my GO TOs for Brunch or Happy Hour.

    Chicken and Waffle for $16
    Justin A.

    I went to Savoir in the Heights on a Sunday morning for brunch with my wife and our toddler. Savoir markets themselves as a chef-driven restaurant that focuses on from-scratch cooking with seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers and vendors. Parking is valet-only, but if you don't mind walking a couple of minutes, there is free street parking available on Heights Boulevard. Inside, the restaurant is beautiful, with a sleek bar, a stylish dining room, and an outdoor patio. They were accommodating to families and brought out a high chair for our toddler. When looking over the brunch menu, I was surprised to see that they did not offer a traditional breakfast option like eggs, bacon, and toast. I even asked if they could make something simple like that, and they said no. I've never encountered a brunch menu without a basic breakfast option. [BRUNCH] +Open Brunch Sandwich for $18 - BLT with truffle oil and a fried egg, served with potatoes. This was very average. It was essentially a piece of bread topped with BLT ingredients, and I ended up eating it like a standard breakfast anyway. Nothing memorable here. - 3/5 Overall, Savoir is a visually impressive restaurant with a polished atmosphere, but the food does not live up to the setting. I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

    Shrimp & Grits 9/10

    Food was alright, could use more seasoning. Although, the service was really nice, waitress were super nice and helpful. Loved the vibe of the place as well.

    Cavatelli (split)
    Jooy C.

    Solid 4 stars here. It's a nice, semi-upscale place that works well for a date or night out. The bar area is really beautiful upon walking in, and then there is a separate dining area that holds the majority of table seats. Food didn't necessarily stand out to me, but they were good. We ordered Caesar salad, mussels, jamon, and the cavatelli. I thought the mussels would come with bread or noodles but they were just the mussels themselves. The Jamon came with a nice crunchy bread. All in all I thought everything was fine. They don't charge extra to split your dish which is nice. I may come back when I'm in the mood for a nice date.

    Avacado Toast
    Sandra S.

    This venue appears to be a good choice for celebrations and group gatherings as long as your not expecting it to be fully private. I visited for a Saturday lunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. There was another birthday being celebrated, and there was also a bridal party in a private room with glass walls. The server was friendly and attentive. However, my dish was underwhelming. I was excited to see sourdough on the menu but was disappointed to receive what tasted like a standard grocery store slice. While the generous avocado topping saved it from being a complete letdown, I wouldn't order it again. Especially not for $18 pretax/tip. I also sampled the biscuit chicken sandwich, which was just okay; the biscuit was a bit dry. The curly fries were decent but not particularly memorable. Note that there is a lack of parking, which forced me to search for street parking nearby.

Also there's large covered dog friendly patio outside. Inside there's large, small, tables for seating plus seating around the bar. Walking in, you're basically transported into an adorable slice of paradise. Pathos plants adorn the bar area where you'll find a a tiki hut inspired ordering spot. There's eclectic artwork on the walls ranging from interesting portraits to beachy waves. The menu is filled with well balanced drinks with tropical themed names but they're not all rum drinks. They have a variety of drinks plus food as well. I ordered a Day-O Old Fashioned which was strong but incredibly well balanced, great to sip on while having enjoying the vibes. The gender neutral bathrooms are quite spacious, really clean, and actually something to make note of. The staff was friendly and they were knowledgeable of their craft. I will love to return to try more, there's so much on the menu to taste.
