700 Draytongraduation celebrationWe chose 700 Drayton to celebrate a late lunch on the date of our daughter's graduation from SCAD's graduate program.
It was a delightful experience, with good food and lovely service. I particularly loved the vibrant original artworks displayed all over the restaurant and the unique chandeliers.
The location on Forsythe Park is lovely. Our table was in a cozy section of the room. The service was attentive and the food prepared beautifully. Wouldn't change a thing!6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMNice findWe enjoyed our lunch very much. Arrived late to Savannah and had lunch reservations at 1:00pm. We arrived at 1:30 pm. The staff was friendly and accommodating to us. We were seated at a nice table in the main room. Our waitress was polite and had many suggestions to the meal. The citron chicken was delicious and my daughter had the steak sandwich. Lovely lunch, moderately price and lots of southern charm. We want to come back for dinner.5/31/2013 12:00:00 AMPre-wedding DinnerWe've been three times in the last 3 weeks to enjoy the food - especially the fried chicken livers to start. Steaks are delectable, Spanish wine was great. Really peaceful environment, bring a jacket for the air conditioning. Sitting outside on the top level is also great, bar atmosphere really nice when band is playing.5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMHad lunch and it was quiteHad lunch and it was quite good. She crab soup was delightful!5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMMagnificent Meal at the MansionThis was my third time dining at the Mansion on Forsythe Park. It was a delight to share the experience with my sisters and my niece. It made our annual reunion even more enjoyable. Despite some food allergies, everyone found incredible dishes which we all shared. As a special treat, the management gave my niece a complimentary dessert, which she graciously shared (as if she had a choice).5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat find!Food was excellent. I loved the Seared Scallops with grits and fresh corn! This was the best meal we had in Savannah. Great wait staff and nice ambience.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMSavannah's GemA group of three took a trip to Savannah for a non-Mother's Day weekend, and chose 700 Drayton for our Saturday dinner. We were impressed at the outset -- beautiful building, smart interior, limited but well-represented menu, and an attentive, accommodating, and knowledgeable staff who communicated well with the kitchen. We were very happy with our meals, and enjoyed the southern twist on the items. The kitchen is very talented! We will definitely recommend, and return to , 700 Drayton!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat decor. We went withGreat decor. We went with another couple to celebrate a friends graduation from nursing school. I ordered the quail and it was spot on. My wife ordered the pecan encrusted flounder. Very good. The restaurant made a special molten chocolate lava cake dessert with congratulations written in a strawberry syrup on the dish. Very appropriate. Would def go here again.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMMother and Daughter Nightout!This was out first visit to Savannah & 700 Drayton restaurant. We were staying close by and I had read other reviews that sounded real good. Our waitress was very helpful in helping us make our selections. The she-crab bisque was excellent. I would recommend you to not miss this excellent dining experience!5/6/2013 12:00:00 AMUnhappyFood and ambience were great but the staff seemed to be very unhappy. It was a very "cold" experience.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMDinner at the MansionWe had the Peppercorn steak and it was fantastic. The food was wonderful. Our server was very nice and knew the menu well. The atmosphere was not as intimate as some of the other houses in Savannah. The scenery across the street is beautiful if you are luck to get a table so you can look out at the park.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a reservation, butWe had a reservation, but were seated about a half-hour late. Our waitress was very kind, knowledgeable, and helpful, though the service was a little slow. One gets the feeling that this is the kind of restaurant that expects you to dine for hours, and does not turn tables much -perhaps this is why the dining room did not seem very full, but we still had to wait for a 9PM reservation, and were sat even later. The food was delicious, thought the al-a-carte portions were small. The upstairs bar was great; it was a happening night spot, and had one of the best bands I have seen in a long time, doing jazz and funk standards with alacrity. I especially recommend eating at the bar and enjoying the strong entertainment.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMMy party of 4 had a late breakfast.My party of 4 had a late breakfast. Celebrating my mother's 89th birthday. Ambiance was great, beautiful antique decor, with majestic pictures and dark wood furniture except on the porch where we preferred to sit. The porch is all windows and you can see the Mansion, next doo and the people walking. Everyone's breakfast was great except mine. I had the crab, shrimp etc omelette. It was puffy and appeared to be made from egg mix. The seafood was scant, as was the cheese in the middle (non on top). I would not recommend it. Otherwise, the waiter was very attentive and pleasant and they brought my mom a complimentary creme brulee with a candle. I will go again.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMEXCELLENT FOOD, SERVICE, EXPERIENCEBeautiful place. Could be romantic but was a birthday celebration so....! Our waitress was great, friendly and efficient. She helped with making recommendations on meal choices and we all (6 of us)enjoyed every bite. My son-in-law has not quit talking about the amazaing Filet Mignon he had! Two in our group had the flounder and enjoyed it. Two had the grouper (I was one) and it was amazing. The fish portions were modest but, plenty for me and my daughter. My husband had the seafood pasta and she crab soup and said it was very good. Wine list was nice. Cocktails were made perfectly. I would highly recommend 700 Drayton! Service may have been a tad slow but we were in no hurry! LOVED IT!!!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMThe restaurant is locatedThe restaurant is located in a beautiful mansion, the service was excellent.
The price was very good for the quality of the food, we ordered crab cakes, fennel and grouper.
The peach tart is outstanding!3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMAh no...This place is romantic and the wait staff are always super helpful and friendly. But this year the food was not as good as it was last year. I not saying the food was bad. It just wasn't the same great food we had a year ago. The portions were smaller which is not a bad thing, but the prices were not. Both my hubby and I noticed the difference. I couldn't put my finger on the change, but the food quality and superior taste is lost next to Vic's on the River.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMWe dined at 700 Drayton forWe dined at 700 Drayton for lunch, and it was our first time. We thoroughly enjoyed the Cajun Pasta and Burger. The pasta dish was delicious! The burger was perfectly prepared and flavorful on a bun that was fresh with good texture. We returned to dine at dinner enjoying the Barrel Cut Filet Mignon and Pecan Flounder Meuniere. The Filet was perfectly prepared and perfectly flavorful. The Flounder was tender and delicious. The decor is lovely. The service is friendly, helpful and attentive. Impressive dining experiences. Would highly recommend.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMWe stayed at the Mansion onWe stayed at the Mansion on Forsythe Park where this restaurant is and we had several meals here breakfast, lunch & dinner. I have to say that all were excellent and the service some of the best we have ever had. The duck salad I had for lunch was beautifully presented and was even more delicious than it looked. Everyone was friendly and very knowledgeable about the food and went out of there way to make the dinning experience perfect. I highly recommend you visit the restaurant if in Savannah and I would also highly recommend the hotel one of the best we have ever stayed in. Even if you don't stay checkout the art collection it's unbelievable.3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMLovely setting, ambiance.Lovely setting, ambiance. Creative food. Attentive but not obtrusive service.3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a cozy table next toWe had a cozy table next to the fireplace. Wonderful food and service over the next 3 hours. Even a mistaken attempt to deliver us more food after we had eaten turned into a pleasant surprise when the manager heard that we wished the food brought to the table had been a creme brulee and then he brought us a creme brulee no charge. 700 Drayton has become one of our local favorites in Savannah.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had reservations for 6:00We had reservations for 6:00 and arrived about 5:55. No one was at the hostess desk so we stood there and waited for at least 10 minutes then a group of 3 people showed up for dinner (no reservations) and we all continued for another 5 minutes before one of the woman went to find someone to help all of us. Ridiculous.3/13/2013 12:00:00 AMA must go toExceptional restaurant. Our server Adj was just terrific. A perfect end to a wonderful visit to Savannah. Highly recommend.3/8/2013 12:00:00 AM
