Order whatever you like. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. I had the pork chops with collard greens and the Mac and cheese. Wife had the tenderloin with sides. Both were great. The staff was the best. Be sure to visit the bar in the cellar. Ambiance reminds me of something out of a movie during prohibition. Super cool experience. I would definitely go back

Circa 1865 is a unique and very French bistro in the heart of Savannah. The food was delicious, the service excellent and the ambiance was charming.

Everything was attractively prepared and delicious. We all enjoyed our meals. My only issue is that the portions was very generous, not really a complaint. Just wished we were made aware of the size of the ribeye steak. We could have easily split one steak. We had appetizers prior to our entrees. We ended up taking two half steaks back to our hotel. It’s a shame to waste that much food.

Leslie was an amazing waitress. Very attentive and professional, she knew the menu and answered any questions we had. The food suggestions she made were perfect. If you go to Melting Pot - Savannah, ask for Leslie.

Absolutely Ah-May-Zing experience! Stevie our server was super knowledgeable of the menu, and literally told me what I'd want and I did!!! We started off with the Edemame hummus (recommended), it came with cucumber slices and some fried house tortilla chips. The seasoning on the hummus an presentation was so PRETTY!. The cocktail of that day was a cucumber juice based one, and they made it a mock-tale for me! My husband had an old fashion and they were both so cute and tasty! Btw, the atmosphere in there is fantastic!!! Energetic, but romantic at the same time. The bar was beautiful, the colors they used to decorate with, and the ambiance was just lovely! We ordered the Steak Frites, and the salmon. The salmon dish was served over cous-cous, and had the most undeniable flavor, not heavy at all, like at some other places. My husbands Steak Frites was covered in a chimicurri, that was almost a match for his own, but he thoroughly enjoyed it! We will be back again and again when visiting Savannah. I HIGHly recommend The Fitzroy on Drayton to anyone wanting a lovely meal. This was the BEST meal we had during our entire trip. Well done Fitzroy! WELL DONE!

The musician was really bad. It made the experience not as great. The food was great and the restaurant itself was lovely.
