    French dip sandwich with coleslaw
    Tricia D.

    Do you ever just put off mandatory training for work to write an (urgent, duh) Yelp review? Me neither; never done it (eyes avoiding contact). The headliner here is the owners and staff of WSB really pay attention to detail and show great pride in what they do! Bravo! The fresh cut (real!) roses at every table were a nice touch. Yes, each member of our family did a mini iPhone photo shoot by those pretty pink and yellow centerpieces. While there is no dedicated kids' menu here, our waitress had a few recommendations, and we ordered the baked mac 'n cheese and ham and croissant sandwich for the kiddos. Both were fresh and plentiful. I had a satisfying tuna melt with onion rings (that ended up getting traded for the uncoveted side salad that came with my 6yo's ham croissant). My husband enjoyed the pickled okra (surprise!) that came with the deviled eggs, and he inhaled (faster than usual) his French dip sandwich. I wish I had saved room for dessert! The case had offerings like red velvet cupcakes, key lime poundcake, and coconut cake slices. Drool, drool, and triple drool. On the walls are also prize ribbons and articles about one of the staff's show corgis! So fun and congratulations! Thanks again to Yelp for putting this Savannah gem on our radar. We had a lovely Sunday brunch here prior to some souvenir shopping and being tourists on a walking ghost tour.

    Meatloaf sandwich
    Jeremy T.

    I was actually planning to visit another restaurant a few blocks away, but this one was closer to where I parked, so I just ate here. The Cafe has a small lunch menu of salads, sandwiches and apps. The space near the front entrance has a counter display with chocolates and other desserts. A few items looked good on the menu, but I ended up going with the meatloaf sandwich, which sounded unique and the waiter said its filling. It tasted good initially, as it is visually daunting due to its thick stature. Very hard to eat without cutting it in half. When I did that and took the 2nd bite, I noticed the inside was cold but outside was warm to melt the cheese. It's supposed to be completely warm of course, so for that I am deducting a star. It comes with potato chips, nothing special there. Overall for the price, I thought it was a 2/5 They have several different types of desserts, including chocolates, bars, cakes and a brownie. All are supposedly homemade by a local lady. I was going to order dessert anyway, but since my entree was cold in the middle, I was a comped a brownie and took this back to the hotel. I've eaten a ton of brownies all over the US and was extremely dissapointed in this one. I felt it was very basic and didn't seem to contain any exotic or high quality ingredients. To me, it seems like a teenager made it instead of a local town lady. In summary, I am sure other entrees are awesome, but I just happened to come on a bad day.

    Good food- BIG BURGER - very fresh and good quality. Amazing hand cut fries. 9/10 food! Great service nice servers very respectful nothing to complain about. 9.2/10 Nice old timer blue beach vibe - Wish the seats where a bit cleaner but other then that great WOULD COME BACK 8.5/10 restaurant

    The sidewalk chalkboard beckoned us in with a $5 Blood Orange Mimosa, so in we went. Cute little shop with a dining area, and counter service. The guy behind the counter was quick to give us his attention but seemed deflated that we were not eating so our drinks were just plopped on the counter with no care given to presentation. * The "blood orange mimosa" was a small plastic cup of Prosecco with the juice frozen into a cube, so we had to wait for it to melt for any taste. * The peach Bellini was a semi frozen chunk of peach likewise dropped in a small cup of Prosecco with no discernible nectar or juice to help flavor it. I'd never tried marzipan (which looked really good!) so I ordered one, and was handed a cute little banana. If you've never also never had marzipan, it's apparently a a gritty sugary almond flavored clay that people shape into fruits. Yeah...

    Flounder Fish n Chips with side of cole slaw
    Mara C.

    I don't believe in coincidence however I do believe in happy accidents, and this one was prime. We planned to visit another Yelp location but could not locate a parking spot anywhere nearby. Lucky for us this gem has its own parking lot. Score You enter what looks to be just a counter cafe, yet after receiving a kind greeting you are led into a very light and airy room with small tables and side booths. See photos. Luca, our server was just stellar. After seating us he came back a few moments later introduced himself and took our drink order. Returning fairly quickly we ordered the flounder fish and chips and the bacon wrapped meatloaf sans the cheddar cheese. I also wanted to try the homemade onion rings, and the meatloaf came with homemade potatoes chips I also wanted to sample. Score again! The meatloaf was tender, and the bacon savoury. I took one slice of bread off, preferring a more open sandwich style. The chips were fantastically crunchy with perfect seasoning. The onion rings; some of the freshest and beautifully battered I could ever hope to enjoy. One of the owners, Todd, came out to enquire how we liked the food, and also serve us while Luca was busy, and regale us with tails of his championship corgi's he and his partner have shown and bred. I told him how much we enjoyed the food and also as West Coasters we have recently discovered the Atlantic flounder which makes for tasty eating. Todd told us his comes mostly from Florida. I mustn't forget how my husband spied the lime pound cake in the front as you walk in. So glad we ordered it. Not only an interesting green color but also comes with tasty fresh black berries on the side. Plenty to share. Don't be fooled by the outside of the restaurant which rather looks like a bar or a pub. Be sure to venture inside where you will be delighted to find excellent culinary delights as the menu is varied, prices are reasonable and the service is excellent.

    Okra and Ruth's croissant sandwich
    Corinne B.

    Service is friendly and patient. the food.... Omg, farm and garden fresh deliciousness. They were out of a few things we wanted to try but were treated with delightfully off menu garden peaches with goat cheese from the chef. What an amazing experience, we will be back every time we visit Savannah. Thank you for the services

    Shrimp salad tomato

    This place is awesome! The food was so good it made my eyes water and the service was great! It's run by these two older men and they are lovely. The food was so fresh and they are so accommodating to any dietary needs. Highly recommend the shrimp salat stuffed tomato and the house made chips!

    If we could put six stars here, we would! Tod and Michael have the most amazing restaurant, and we enjoy everything on the menu! They know what great food is made of... fresh ingredients, excellent preparation, and simplicity. Add excellent service and you have a winning combination. Wright Square Bistro never fails! PS - don't forget to try the potato chips

    Ham & Cheese croissant with fruit side and blood orange mimosa
    K R.

    Very friendly & prompt service of a delicious brunch. Nice selection of foods, ingredients are locally sourced. And did I mention their chocolates? Wright Square cafe has a charming area to eat in, a couple of tables for dining al fresco, tasteful decor and very clean. We will be regulars!

    Just a lovely atmosphere! Felt like someone's home.
    Carrie M.

    Wow! What a fabulous lunch we had at this charming bistro! Family of 4 (2 kids under 18) all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the lovely owners (ask them about their corgis!). Husband and I had the mimosas, and they were unique and delicious! Three of us had different option versions of the grilled cheese and LOVED them and I had the salad with the delicious Vidalia onion dressing (buy a bottle to take home!). Fabulous! And we are still talking about the homemade chips and pecan pie! Truly! Do yourself a favor and visit this gem of a bistro! We'll be back for sure on another visit!

I'll preface by saying the vibe was interesting. There's a woman that sitios by tables to sing, which I didn't particularly like. The house itself gives off pre civil war vibes... so take that as you will. Nothing strange or offensive happened to me, it was the energy. Now to the meal. Our waiter was great. We ordered wine to go with our food and started with the biscuits and some oysters of the half shell. Delish! My husband ordered the scorched flounder and I got the fried lobster tails. Amazing flavors, and we were stuffed. The Olde Pink House is on the pricier side, but there's attention to the detail in the meals that match the price.

I was debating between the Fried green tomato BLT or the Caprese Grilled cheese then our server Kristin suggested the mussels and that is what I ended up with and I am so glad I did. These were absolutely the best mussels I've ever had. The sauce was not the traditional garlic/shallot wine sauce but had more tomato and basil reminiscent of warm bruschetta. I had to borrow my husbands spoon to get every bit of that sauce after I finished my mussels. My husband had the famous shrimp and grits which he absolutely loved. He noted it wasn't overpowered with sausage like most other restaurants do but had a perfect balance of flavor. My mom got the lamb burger and also loved every bite. She loved lamb so as soon as she saw that she had no doubt what she was going to order. Both my husband and mom loved every bite. I can see why The Public Kitchen is so popular. The restaurant has some indoor and outdoor seating with a mix of tables and banquets along the walls. It was comfortable without being too crowded.

Credit where it's due on the space, too -- the ambiance is genuinely great. Warm, candle-lit dining room, an open kitchen, a well-stocked bar, and a covered patio that had a real buzz to it. It's a spot that looks and feels like somewhere you want to be, which is exactly why I'd give the kitchen another shot based on how the owner runs this place. --- Original review (2 stars): Disappointing birthday dinner. Came in for my birthday and left underwhelmed. Our server Troy was the one bright spot -- professional and attentive all night. Caesar salad: Several bitter pieces of lettuce, and no black pepper offered or available. Faroe Island salmon: Overly buttery like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. The shishito cream sauce was way too acidic -- tasted like uncooked wine or vinegar. Crispy rice cakes were bland and a strange pairing (rice blocks with salmon?). The baby bok choy was decent until the sauce drowned it out. Braised beef short rib: Tender but flavorless. The mashed potatoes tasted old, not fresh that evening. To top it off, my wife had arranged ahead of time for the birthday dessert to be brought out -- the message never reached Troy, so that moment never happened. Troy deserved better than what the kitchen sent out.
