    While visiting Savannah three times this year, I went to Rhett twice over the spring and summer. It was so delicious that on my next visit, I decided to go back in December. To say I was disappointed is an under statement; the food was completely different—not the menu items themselves, but the food itself. My husband and I order the same things every time because we loved Rhett so much. When we ordered our usual dishes, the food was awful; it was bland, cold, and dry. I ordered the breakfast grits which is supposed to come with a “tomato relish” but came with just tomatoes. Our waitress brought out an extra side of sauce for the monary sandwich my husband had and said “Careful, It’s hot.” It was completely cold as if it was just pulled from the fridge! Wasn’t spreadable or anything. DEFINITELY NOT THE RHETT WE REMEMBER!!! I asked our waitress if they got new items or changed their menu and she said they may have switched from the summer menu. By the looks of it, I don’t think they changed much. My only thought is maybe they changed chefs. We loved Rhett—but now, we won’t be going back and won’t be even risking the chance that they changed the menu. Very very disappointing; I even make my grits based off their recipe and found them to taste nothing like they did. :(

    The staff made the atmosphere very safe and pleasant. Tables spaced and staff wore mask. With Covid you hate to eat out but this place takes the precautions to make your experience safe and comfortable. This was my second visit and only because I experienced the same on the first visit. Thanks to Tommy and all for taking this pandemic serious! You guys are the best.

    Nice on site restaurant - as with all hotel restaurants, there’s a special economy at play…although the gap between on site and off site closes depending on where you are. This is a great choice if your staying or down on this end of the plant side district.

    We were yearning for brunch on a Friday and discovered that Rhett serves both breakfast and brunch until early afternoon. The food did not disappoint. The loaded grits were delicious, as was the Croque and the avocado toast. I would highly recommend.

    My wife had the burger and loved it. The fries were also very good but a bit too salty. I had the salmon cakes from the small plate menu and they were unbelievably delicious. The bartender knew her way around a cocktail too. A bit pricey but we knew that going in so no surprise. We will definitely be back.

    There are so many amazing restaurants in Savannah. Rhett is good. We just happened to go to a lot of really great restaurants where the food was just a touch better. I will say the chicken Caesar salad is the absolute best salad I have ever had, ever.

    Everything we got was phenominal - mushroom toast, glazed carrots, steak, and veggie risotto with scallops. The bartender even made me a random request drink Tito’s fresh peach nectar & club soda. The Service was great and overall one of the best places we’ve eaten as foodies from NJ. Definitely recommend

    The food was incredible! I scarfed down the onion tart. I tried to save half of it but went back and finished the other half. The restaurant was a bit loud with children. The restaurant is inside a hotel and there were a lot of families in there. Overall the food and drinks were delicious and I’d go back again.

    Went there for brunch. Food was ok nothing special. Wife had the avocado toast, we can make it better at home. Potato’s on the side were nice. Waiter took the order of a couple that sat down after us before ours which was annoying and took him forever to get us everything else including the check.
