    Service was great. Very cute place by the river. Prices were very good. All our food was very good except the bread pudding was a bit tasteless. But I recommend eating here.

    We were disappointed in our dinner. The food was served lukewarm, it was ok, not great. Service was good, but for a meal of this price we expected more.

    We had a great experience here. It was a last minute decision and it worked out lovely. Had the fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, peach cobbler and crème brûlée. The portions are large and I’m glad we split the app and entree. The dessert we got our own lol! So good. Service was terrific!

    This was my first time visiting, but it definitely wasn’t my last. My friend and I had the salmon and it was delicious. The fried green tomatoes were so tasty. The service was amazing.

    Always a must when coming to Savannah. Good good prices reasonable and fun atmosphere in the bar. Dining area old quaint feel. The Grouper Oscar is a favorite. Selection of appetizers good choices. Staff friendly and happy to help with anything. I would recommend it to all. Right along the river so easy access to a lot to do afterwards.

    Our server Shelby really made our dining experience enjoyable. Her food recommendations were great (fried tomatoes, lobster ravioli and the grouper Oscar), and her personality and attentiveness could not have been any better!
