While most of the rooftops are regularly accessible to the public, there's something about Myrtle & Rose which has caused it to elude us. Often, it has been closed for a private party, or perhaps it was full. In any case, we finally were carded and sent up the elevator with the slightly aggressive doors. Yes, they close fast. Keep a move on! We were offered a table overlooking the river and served by Will. My wife enjoyed her Amber Hour, and I an old fashioned. I suppose they don't want us getting tipsy and falling off, since my drink may have had 2 or 3 ounces. A good little taste, but not for long for this Wisconsin boy. Let's not go down the road of it being a "real" old fashioned -- I know and enjoy both kinds. (You must when you also own a distillery.) The two shining points of the evening were the view and our server. This spot offers a nice, close-up view of the river from both directions -- perfect for the occasional ships passing in the night. Our server, Will, was very professional, attentive, and thoughtful. By the end of the 50° night, Will had brought a blanket for my wife. While we can handle below-zero temps at home, there's something about 50° on vacation that gives us the shivers. Perhaps it was the dress -- I'm not sure, since I wasn't the one wearing it tonight. Anywho, finally a great experience was had at this well-done rooftop bar.

The whole place was beautifully decorated every corner felt cozy, cheerful, and perfect for the season. One of the highlights for me was their hot chocolate, it was honestly so good, rich, and comforting, exactly what you want during the holidays.

Overall, it was a great time with a really nice atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking to get a. Nice drink.

We had 3 sangrias, and a rosemary sweet tea. We received a text that our table was ready so we cashed out upstairs . We sat and looked over the food menu. Our server, Juliana came out and greeted us. We told her we needed a few minutes to look over the menu. She was gone for quite sometime. After she came back, I ordered chicken and waffles and my friend ordered a quiche. We did not see our server for the longest time, I got up and ordered two sangrias from the bartender. She told me "I don't like taking money from the servers, I'll find out who the server is and I'll send them over" which I thought was odd. I wasn't going to open a separate check. I was just having her make the drinks for us and putting them under our tab. Our food arrived, The waffle had no taste and was overcooked. The chicken tenders were ok. They gave us a small container of syrup. The plate was so plain. I had a taste of the quiche and it just tasted store bought, very bland. The server finally shows up and tells us the sangrias are coming. We finished our meal. The drinks were brought by someone else. We told her we were done with our meal and we did not want them. Our check was brought by someone else. Basically our table was forgotten. Absolutely the worst brunch. Both food and service. DO NOT RECOMMEND. It is not worth the hype at all!!!!

Our server was fantastic and made some great recommendations. We started with the she-crab soup, which was incredibly buttery and creamy while still feeling light and balanced not heavy or greasy. It was a great example of a rich dish done well. We tried the pineapple upside-down martini, which was a little too sweet for my taste, though my husband really enjoyed it. His Old Fashioned, on the other hand, ended up being my favorite drink of the night and maybe even on my top 15 drinks ever The biscuit with honey butter should honestly be illegal - it was that good. Easily one of the highlights of the meal. Service was excellent throughout. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the evening feel effortless. For dinner, we had the New York strip and the lamb chops. Both were beautifully done - they didn't overcomplicate either dish and let the quality of the ingredients shine. Even the sides were outstanding and clearly received just as much attention as the mains. We were completely full, but the moment they mentioned a pistachio cloud-style cake, I had to try it and I'm so glad I did. It was every bit as good as promised. The dessert had a very Japanese-inspired feel: delicate, light, and beautifully balanced. It was the perfect way to end the meal. A memorable dining experience with great food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.

The building dates to 1823 and was built as a boarding house. The restaurant is a beautiful charming place where locals like to eat. Excellent service, delicious food, and generous portions. I had the Lobster Gnocchi. I don't normally like gnocchi but it was amazing! Lots of lobster too. The sauce was both hearty and light at the same time. Definitely homemade. There was a piano player which added to the ambience. The cocktails were really good and not watered down. This place is both classy and casual. The Inn: I didn't want to stay at a big box hotel because I wanted something historic. I found this and I could tell as soon as I pulled up that I made the right choice. It's a nice looking building with lots of character. It's definitely not luxury, but it's very classy and nicely done. The rooms are a bit dated not in a historical way, but they are charming. Each room is different and I was able to choose the room I wanted. The bed was old but quite comfortable. The modern HVAC is really nice because it can get cold or hot in Savannah. They gave me a coupon for two free drinks, which made me very happy! The staff is very nice. You can park on the street or there's a lot with a reasonable $15/night.

Planters tavern has a wonderful ambiance, and waiters are super friendly. We came at 6pm and while…read morethey said there was a 2hour wait, it wound up only being 30 minutes. So we got there for 6:30, and knew we had to leave by 8:20, as we had a ghost tour shortly thereafter and we told our waiter as such. Unfortunately, despite not ordering an appetizer and going straight to mains, we didn't get our dinner until 7:55pm. The reason it happened was the waiter accidentally ordered us the seafood special, not the steak special. They were apologetic about it, but still, a dinner we were looking forward to turned to a rushed scarfing down of food. Would have been nice if they comped one of the dinners, or offered a free round of drinks for the inconvenience. As for the meal itself - the shrimp dinner was meh - only came with 6 shrimp for $32 (pirates house shrimp dinner tasted better and came with over a dozen large shrimp). The ribeye was perfectly cooked, but needed more seasoning. My guess is because they rushed it, they may have forgotten the salt. The steak sauce (tamarind forward a1) wasn't my cup of tea. On the positives - both of the sides were amazing - highly recommend they put those on the main menu. All in all - there's too many good restaurants in Savannah, I doubt I'll be coming back. Given the ambiance, maybe good idea to come for a drink and dessert? (Although the wine pour was a little weak too).

What a beautiful picturesque place to have some bites and cocktails!…read more I was welcomed into this moody, velvety spot with a sweeping view of the river. Beautiful glass, marble, deep colors of navy, mauve, and gold. Service was wonderful, felt welcomed immediately. For my appetizer, I had the crab cake with homemade tartar sauce, which was a light, bright way to start the evening. For my entree, I had the filet mignon. The server will tell you, the menu says tapas, but the servings are larger than that. Meat portions are generous at 6 oz. My only complaint is that I ordered my steak medium and got closer to well done. At least the steak was still moist and not dried out, but I would be hesitant to do the steak again. The spinach risotto I had with it was creamy and cheesy, however, so that was nice. Other options for food include burrata, a charcuterie board, grilled shrimp, sea bass, salmon, scallops. The cocktails are the real star here. They fall under the categories "strong and adventurous," light fare," and "signature." Non-alcoholic cocktails are also available. I started with the medusa 1597, under "strong and adventurous." Made with Old Tom Gin, extra dry vermouth, truffle, grapefruit, and amaro, it was extremely strong. A bold, slow sipper I would have done better to have later in the evening, but I still appreciate the complexity of it. I also had the Bella primavera, a lighter cocktail under the signature section. Made with pisco, blanc vermouth, French herbal liqueur, watermelon, and basil leaf. A smoother, brighter, faster sip than the Medusa. And I also had the blood orange martini, made with French vodka, blood orange, lime, and cranberry. A little sweet, but not cloying, and again, would have been a better starter as opposed to a closer. I think when I return, I will ask the bartender to make me off the menu drinks. This place seems creative enough that the outcome would be fantastic. I loved this place. The vibe, the view, the service, the offerings. Can't wait to see what more they have in store.

While I'd advise you to slip staying in the hotel where this restaurant sits, the restaurant itself (and the other one downstairs, fleeting) were bright spots in an otherwise lackluster hotel stay. We enjoyed breakfast here a few days. The service is fantastic (we saw Miranda a couple times and she made us feel like regulars, remembering our order and offering some sight seeing tips), all staff was friendly, fun and knowledgeable about the menu. The food is well done, with a Mediterranean influnce. We enjoyed the shakshuka (highly reco you add the kefta and ask for oven bread instead of the sourdough) and the Turkish eggs (also reco asking for the oven bread with this one), both dishes were flavorful and well executed (and we try shakshuka everywhere we see it!)
