    The appetizer, the dry rubbed wings, were outstanding. Entrees: my wife had oxtails, and I enjoyed the fried catfish with the sweet potatoes and greens. I am from GA, and the chef's rendition reminded me of home. Wife and I celebrated our 40th Anniversary and were expecting a little more upscale setting. The setting was okay, but for me it was more casual dining-esque, with a lively atmosphere. The meal by itself warrants another visit to try the lamb. Overall, we had a very good experience. We always make an effort to support Black businesses and we enjoyed the experience. And yes, we recommend this establishment.

    It was hot as hell in there. I spoke to the manager about how warm it was and they afforded me some more ice water..lol! They have limited substitutes with all entrees. Greens and yams with every meal doesn’t make sense. Sit at the bar for the best vibe but I’m going to Fixins next time.

    uperb service (Chelsea), hospitality on point. Nicely plated meals, that were delicious! Aesthetically pleasing and great atmosphere. Music was louder than expected to allow conversation, but noticed it was turned down a notch during visit. Will return and highly recommended!

    The service was slow and made us miss 25 mins of a Broadway show. The food and drinks were good once we received them.

    We came here for our anniversary dinner for the first time. I loved everything about this place the music, vibes, drinks and of course the food was all great and fresh. Our waitress was super nice as well. Thank you for a good time, we will definitely be back soon.

    I came to this restaurant, expecting a delicious soul food experience. What I got was a waitress telling me that half the menu was unavailable due to the fact it was a holiday. I understand it was Father's Day and it was busy, but after telling me that most of their entrees weren't available, we were charged a gratuity for table for two. I spent $80 for parking, 2 small drinks and crab dip. No accommodations for not having anything we wanted to eat. Savannah Blue is a nice restaurant but treat your customers better if you want them to dine with more than once.

    Our waiter, Kwame, and the hostesses were the best part of the experience. The food was mediocre but priced for extraordinary. I was kinda disappointed.

    The staff was so polite and professional. The drinks that we had at the bar were good and she even made me a special mocktail bc I am pregnant. Food was even better than our expectations. We celebrated Father’s Day and it was our 1st time and we both agreed we’d definitely be coming back.
