This is the place you must decide to have your next private event in the near future. Let's talk about 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! read more

If I could give 100 stars, I would. Our experience at Common Restaurant (specifically The Room) was truly 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. read more

We hosted a last minute birthday brunch at The Room this past weekend and it was truly such a delightful experience. Leah was extremely responsive and accommodating to all our last minute requests. The staff was INCREDIBLE - so kind and attentive! On top of this fantastic customer service, we also benefitted from the delicious food and cocktails that we already knew we loved at Common. They served our entire party of 25 people quickly & efficiently. No one was ever without a drink or one on the way. The best part was that the room is so beautiful that you truly don't even need decorations. If you need to book an event space, do yourself a favor and book The Room - you will thank yourself later!! read more

What an amazing venue, food & staff!! Ivelise was great to work with before and during our 50th Birthday Brunch! The welcome sign on the front door was such a sweet start to the event! The space was beautiful, definitely gave you the feel of historic Savannah! It is hard to find a place in Savannah that will accept a large reservation, so this was PERFECT! Highly recommend them or your next event! read more

My daughters wedding and reception were held here in June 2022! It was the most intimate and lovely wedding I've ever been to in my life! Brandi and Ivelise tended to every detail and many I would've never even come close to thinking of. The room was beautiful, the food outstanding and the drinks delicious I also had my husband's memorial here for our friends in Savannah and out of town family. It was our favorite dining spot in Savannah, and they turned this into an absolute celebration of my husband's life. Friends and family continue to talk about how incredible it was. read more

My husband and I got married and had our reception at the Room. The team here went above and beyond to give us our dream wedding. Friendly staff. Amazing food. Awesome drinks (they even had non-alcoholic cocktail options for non-drinkers). We would recommend this space to anyone looking to host an event. read more
