She did Friday night heavy appetizers and hors d'oeuvres and on Saturday- a full dinner. Everyone raved about the food. I would especially highlight her roast beef which was out of this world... Mac & cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy. Her smoked salmon platter was incredible as was the spinach and artichoke dip. (Still thinking about it!)!Really, everything was great but those were the highlights! Many of my family members who live in Savannah plan to use her for future catering. She was very communicative and responsive easy to plan with and delivered on time! I can't say enough good things.

I being from Savannah had not heard of this caterer. Her website was wonderful and the reviews were great. But still it was like taking a shot in the dark but boy let me tell you I hit the Bulls Eye when I hired Miss Shannon and her crew to do a Friday night low country boil for a bunch of out of town guest. I wanted them to have a taste of the low country while visiting Savannah. I also just wanted to enjoy my guest and not have to worry about a thing. Miss Shannon and her crew did an excellent job and the food was amazing. Everyone loved everything they put in their mouths. She is super professional and I loved working with her. From now on when I have to feed more than twenty people at my home Miss Shannon will be the first person I call!

We used Thrive to cater our family union celebration in August 2024. Guests enjoyed the food…read moreoptions, but my husband and I had a less than favorable experience with this company. We scheduled a tasting a few months prior. Thrive was an approved vendor for The Clyde Venue, so there was a level of trust we had without having conversations with the caterer because of how well the venue was providing services to us as humans, and not as walking dollar signs. The tasting went well. The form filled ahead of time was a bit overwhelming with the amount of options, but it's better to have too many choices than not enough, which was awesome to see. After the tasting, we had a consultation with a coordinator to select our menu options and discuss price point, we had a strict budget to stick to. When we submitted our deposit, there was an issue with the payment. It wasn't until I had the conversation with the vendor did I notice that we were charged more then the payment we discussed to pay, hence the payment not going through. We were charged an additional tent fee because The Clyde did not have a kitchen. Something we know from the Clyde, but we didn't know we would be charged an addition fee- neither the Clyde nor Thrive told us. At this point, we had a conversation with the owner and expressed our grievances for, what felt like, unethical business practices in relation to lack of communication regarding payment. We paid the fee anyways. Fast forward to our event, and the some of the food didn't look or taste anything like what we sampled. We understand cooking in bulk is different than a sample, but I was very disappointed. The caterers also left quickly when their time was done, so we didn't have a chance to thank them. My guests mentioned they did not see a "tent". After writing a review for the Clyde, we were contacted by our day of coordinator who was also confused about the fee we were charged. She reached out to thrive and resolved the issue for us, but it, again, felt like we were being taken advantage of which is something that felt icky for us the whole time. Unsure if we would use this company again, but they didn't not meet our expectations.

Wow!! Thank you, for the delicious catered dinner for our family of 10 adults and children. We had…read morethe generous portions of low country boil and pulled pork, and added a green salad and chicken skewers. The corn bread with honey butter, yum! Delivery was on time to our Airbnb. Very friendly delivery person. We did indeed have leftovers that hit the spot for lunch after a day at the beach. Roy and Becky were quick to respond, which made for a great experience since I live in California and was arranging this for our family stay on Hilton Head Island. The shrimp held up great and I'm glad I added the chicken skewers, meant for the children but adults enjoyed.

First off, his cornbread with honey butter is sooo perfectly done.. we love this. Oysters on the half shell were shucked at the house and so good. Mini crab cakes had very little in terms of bread so you really got the crab taste. The low country boil was so fresh and his sausage was so tasty too. Fresh corn that was not overcooked and just a very delicious meal. this year, we actually went to have lunch at Roy's Cafe and enjoyed that very much. Becky was our server and she was so sweet and accommodating. The portions were large and the lunch was huge for what we paid and of course, it was all delicious.

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.
