Vic's on the River was one of my favorite meals in Savannah. The location offers beautiful views of the river and the restaurant itself is a beautifully restored historic building. For starters we had refreshing craft cocktails and for my main course I had the shrimp and grits which was amazing. It was literally melt in your mouth, scrape the bowl flavorful from the perfectly cooked shrimp and grits to the delicious sauce that was spot on. To top it off the service was great completing a pretty perfect dining experience. read more

Stopped in mid day for some much needed air conditioning break from walking around Savannah in summertime. We were so pleasantly surprised by the biscuits! They brought them with butter as the bread basket. They were soooo good! Fluffy, soft, savory delicious! We tried the BLT with fried green tomatoes and the she crab soup. The soup was so tasty! My first time trying this southern specialty. It is like a crab bisque but with a pimento cheesy flavor. The BLT was also fantastic, but the fried green tomatoes were a bit much so we too them out of the sandwich and ate them separately...and they were perfectly crispy. So good. The portions were generous. A great rest stop for us to get out of the heat and enjoy lovely service. The server was so eager to tell us about the many great things about Savannah. Lovely experience. read more

Let me tell you, I came here in mid-may and it was just perfect. I had the pecan fried flounder with an orange cream sauce and a potato/asparagus side and it sounds strange but I swear I started levitating as a ate. The service was great as to be expected and the view of the river was so lovely. The energy was definitely leaning towards a quiet date night, but I didn't feel particularly out of place in a more casual way. P.S. if you can help it, try the peach flight for dessert, I had just the ice cream but in hindsight I wish I tried it all. read more

This was our second time in town and at the restaurant and it was as fantastic as I remembered! The service was incredible, food was delicious, and the view was amazing. We were celebrating my birthday and as a birthday gift they gave me a free cake and their cookbook. I can't wait to go home and try their recipes. Highly recommend this place! read more

Vic's on the River - Savannah GA Family trip for a night and we dined here for dinner. It came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. Waitress even gave us a spooky story how the building is haunted. For starters we all tried something different; wedge, Cesar, arugula and pear salad and a French onion soup! For dinner I had the filet mignon because it was the closest thing to gluten free. We also had the pork chop, braised short ribs and seared tuna! We all enjoyed our time together and would recommend to others as well. read more

The food was fine. This could have been a lovely meal if not for the poor service. I ordered a basic martini - it came out both wrong and warm. When I requested a remake, it was still wrong and still warm. I don't drink it - it sat on the table throughout the meal. The server, Stephen, never asked how things were and whether the drink was ok. He just dumped stuff on our table and left as quickly as possible. I was with my teenage son and I am certain that if I had been with my husband we would not have been treated with such poor service. A big disappointment. read more

Seating starts at 5, gets busy by 6. Attire is business casual but it is right on the river so don't worry too much. Friendly, knowledgeable servers. You get a lot of shrimp but not a lot of hush puppies, filet mignon was 8oz for the price of a 6oz! Good martinis, too. read more

A very nice place! Great waitstaff, a very clean and open dining room downstairs, and it was priced just right... but a little heavy on the prices of the alcoholic drinks. Started with the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer; was nice but not really what this yankee cared for. My main was the halibut with risotto and asparagus, which was prepared nicely. I passed on dessert. They have just basic coffee or tea, and no specialty coffee drinks like cappuccinos, etc. Nice venue, good meal, and a finer place to take the family to when in Savannah. read more

3.5- Lovely southern restaurant on the river for our first dinner in Savannah! The service is really great in the city with that southern hospitality. The food was decent overall, but very affordable. Only $52 for a steak! My mom and I split the wedge salad, the fillet and the combo of four sides- Mac & cheese, cheese, grits, collard greens, and Brussel sprouts. The grits were definitely my favorite. The food is nothing crazy, but the atmosphere feels like an old southern house and they give you amazing warm biscuits to start off your meal. The concierge at the hotel said this was the only place on the river that they would recommend so I will recommend it to you! read more

We were on a trip and stopped and stayed the night in savannah and decided to eat dinner at Vic's and it was worth every penny. The service was fantastic and the food was great. The fried green tomatoes and flounder were the best but I would also recommend the sea bass (pictured) it was amazing and would totally go back! read more

Old school Southern establishment that has more than one iteration. There is a coffee shop on the first floor, a couple floors for banquets etc in between, and then on the fourth floor, the street level, there is the restaurant. I had drinks at the bar. The bartenders are super on top of it, never letting a water or cocktail glass run dry. Lots of the southern hospitality. Bar is actually pretty comfortable and the seats aren't too high for short legs like mine. I had the berry basil smash (herradura tequila, agave, strawberries, and basil). Delicious and attractive to boot. Beautiful red drink with a fresh strawberry on top. I also had the summer gin, made with gin, mint simple syrup, lemon juice, and rosemary. Light and refreshing. It was also happy hour, between 4-5 PM! Each drink 50% off so I had both of these great drinks for 7.50 each! What a steal! I unfortunately came too early to try dinner, though I think I'll be back to give it a try. I really had my eye on the fried green tomatoes (goat cheese, tomato chutney, cheddar grits, and balsamic glaze). I'm not a meatloaf fan, but their meatloaf also looks good (onion strap, haricot vert, mashed potatoes, bbq sauce). Failing that, the filet mignon is also a possibility. They have a large southern menu of salads, sandwiches, southern comfort food, and more. I'll be back to try more of what Vic's has to offer. read more

The service was top-notch and my husband said the scallops were the best he has ever had. The crème anglaise with my praline basket was to die for! We got seated with a great view of the water and the map in wall left by Sherman's Officers. I would highly recommend this stop on any trip to Savanah. read more

The food is amazing! Second time here and it did not disappoint! The She Crab soup is what dreams are made of! The micro greens with candied walnuts and goat cheese salad with poppy dressing was scrumptious. Also had a crab cake that was chock full of crab and no fillers. Service was fast and friendly. Atmosphere is lovely, well appointed, and clean. read more

My mom and I dined at Vic's on the River during a mother/daughter trip to Savannah. To our surprise many of the popular restaurants were fully booked that weekend, thankfully Vic's was able to accommodate us. The restaurant is near the river front as the name implies. The decor gives traditional, southern home vibes. This place would make for a romantic date night spot. I can't remember the name of the cocktail I ordered, but it was sweet and delicious. I ordered scallops for my entree with a side of fries. The scallops were very flavorful. I loved the sauce used on the scallops. My mom ordered a steak that she enjoyed. I would definitely visit again when in Savannah. read more

This was a solo dinner while on a business trip in Sept. With so many downtown choices, I wanted to try it after not picking it on a prior trip. Glad I did. It's a nicely renovated place in River Street's historic buildings & would make for a nice date night as a number of couples clearly were doing. I was seated near the piano, with the player providing a nice succession of musical numbers (with some occasional singing), furthering the experience. Service was prompt & appropriately paced for an upscale restaurant. They start with delicious biscuits & butter, gratis. I ended up ordering the Maine Diver Scallops on pearl couscous with golden raisins, caperberries & a saffron beurre blanc sauce. Also, very good & I stuffed in every bite. Very enjoyable. read more

Beautiful location along river and food was excellent. Wonderful place for dinner when in Savannah area.

Tried Vic's for my birthday last night & to say we were pleased is being mild. The ambience is awesome, real old world Savannah. We started with the crawfish beignets (really more empanadas to me) - filling was flavorful with lots of crawfish & the dough was light & flaky. I had the Chilean sea bass special - fish was expertly cooked & served with fried okra & risotto.y husband had the meatloaf & it was incredible. Great flavor in the BBQ sauce but it didn't overpower the meat. All in all, a place we will return to soon. I wanted to add that James was our server and he was amazing! read more

Beautiful restaraunt across from the Savannah river. Ambience is all elegance with white tablecloths and chandeliers. Pet friendly and servers so kind and welcoming. The southern fried chicken was so juicy and crunchy! Yummy. The oyster po boy was very generously filled with fried oysters, pickles, crunchy lettuce and juicy tomatoes with a delicious sauce. Everything was to die for. Highly recommend. read more

Wow gone down hill. Got my soup which I love and in the middle of bowl was a large ball of frozen soup which I thought was crab. The calamari appetizer was very nice. The Pecan encrusted tflounder was so Bland. No flavor at all. There was way too much breading (pecan encrusted) that it overpowered the flounder . I question that the flounder wasn't flounder peices vs a filet. Totally disappointed because this was one of favorite Savanah restaurants. read more

We visited Savannah a few months ago with two of our gym couple friends and one couple (the wife and her daughter) had patronized the business before and made the suggestion that we eat there. We're so glad that we did because the atmosphere and ambience was INCREDIBLE! The food/drinks/desserts were to die for! So, if you're ever in Savannah and want to revisit an old haunt or a have new restaurant adventure, you have to check out Vic's On The River, you def won't be disappointed! read more

We had a special dinner last night. The restaurant is sophisticated without being off-putting. White tablecloths, well trained, professional servers, and wonderful food! The hard wood floors and high open ceilings did make it a bit loud as they were busy, but it added to the open, airy atmosphere. I had the Jumbo Lump Crabcake which was amazing - LOTS of crab meat! My husband had the Po'Boy Flounder Sandwich and really enjoyed it. We split the Poached Pear Salad and it was exceptional. Our server did a great job doing the splitting of the salad and she took a picture for us. read more

Unfortunately, our experience here was disappointing. Firstly, we were sat at a small table that was not meant for 4 adults + baby. It was crowded and uncomfortable for everyone. We ordered drinks and 2 apps and barely had space on the table. Secondly, the apps were no good and missing any flavor whatsoever. Lastly, our experience was cut short when our server completely ignored us after we told her the apps were no good. We felt like red headed step children and that our business wasn't wanted or needed. It was the most awkward dining experience I've encountered. read more

Came here in 2020 and wasn't the biggest fan. Had the opportunity to go back while on a work trip to Savannah. Unfortunately, it's just as mid as my previous visit. Service was good, ambiance is nice, but the food just isn't that good. Kind of a bummer because it's such a great location, but it is what it is. Wouldn't go back. Sorry! read more

This was a fabulous restaurant with great service; we dropped in without a reservation but they had one table out the patio - little too much street noise but our waitress Kalena (sp?) was fabulous; four meals and each were delicious; peach trio for dessert is yummy too (peach bread pudding, peach ice cream, cheesecake with peach topping) See pics: striped bass with risotto, pecan crusted flounder, short rib and shrimp and grits; we all agreed that we would've swapped any of the meals (yes we had a bite of each) and would've loved each just as much read more

Had dinner for 2 at Vic's. Got there about 10 minutes before our reservation time and there were plenty of open tables but they had us wait. Tried the amazing fried green tomato appetizer as well as the seared tuna (average). Had the peach martini - it was tasty but it was warm when it arrived so I dropped some of my ice in. Had the sea bass special (delicious) and the salmon (average). The wines were hiked up a little more in price than I was used to. Service was great and missing at times. read more

Vic's has a lovely atmosphere and excellent service. Wish I enjoyed the food a bit more. The Thai shrimp appetizer was tasty, but felt the she crab soup was a bit watery and light on the crab. Also got the shrimp and grits - was hoping the bbq sauce was going to be peppery, like the New Orleans bbq sauce is with shrimp, but it was a bit vinegary. All in, not terrible, but better places to visit in Savannah exist. read more

OMG. This was an amazing experience on every level. My husband and I had dinner here on our anniversary weekend. The atmosphere is homey, airy, and elegant - rooms like a big old house, with gorgeous river views. The service was outstanding - attentive without being overmuch. I'm writing this review a bit late so I don't remember what we ordered (sorry) but I do remember that both my very picky husband and my seafood-loving self were very happy. We will definitely come back the next time we're in Savannah. read more

Terrible service and terrible food. So disappointing. Great location and had high hopes for a good meal. Disappointment all the way around. Bummed we wasted a meal here on vacation. Server was rude and acted like we were inconveniencing her with a request for more water and wine. Shocking to have such rude service. Food was not fresh. Served room temp. Just gross all around. read more

So dang good. Service was great. Ambiance was nice, not dark or too intimate but very inviting especially with the live pianist. We opted to sit at the bar top. Complimentary buttermilk biscuits & honey butter definitely set the tone for the rest of the evening. Blue crab beignets were great especially with the tartar like sauce it's served with. Also the grilled lemon was a great addition as well. I got the off menu special- parm & mushroom risotto & added on scallops. Some of the best risotto I've had in awhile & HUGE portion. Only knocked off a star because my scallops were very over cooked- I LOVE a hard sear on my scallops which they presented perfectly, it was just a little chewy due to cook time- otherwise 5/5 for this place!!! Bartender was nice, entire party cleared their food. Will definitely be back! read more

Holy Toledo!!! I can now say that I've had the Best Ever Fried Green Tomatoes... served so politely and nicely by Aubrey. The cornmeal crusted GT's were served on a bed of polenta, with a layer of goat cheese and drizzled with balsamic reduction drizzle.

Totally great experience. read more
