We were looking for something tasty but light during our stay at the JW Marriott Plant Riverside District in Savannah Georgia. The Savannah Tequila Company did not disappoint. We started with the Guacamole Prepared table side followed by three Street Tacos each. Our Favs were the fish tacos. We had a couple of drinks/wine. Really enjoyed the Pineapple Tepache hard cider which off set the Jalapeño heat. Finally, we had the warm Churro’s. Homemade and while they were accompanied by two dips, we enjoyed them on their own. Service was incredible, friendly and engaging staff. Fast and attentive. Really nice experience. Thank you for a great evening!

We decided to take a trip to Savannah for the 4th and because it was last minute we were trying to find a place where we could view the fireworks. Almost every place was booked and Myrtle and Rose had one more reservation opened for 7:30 outside, so I booked immediately. Upon arriving, checking reservations and IDs was smooth. We got a complimentary drink/shot which was so nice and free merch. I think I chose a Jim beam drink with peach and mango in it (can’t remember the name). We got seated and we had the perfect seat to view the fireworks. We had to use the bathroom so we both left and when we got back another couple was sitting at our table. We don’t know what happened but they must have looked at the seating chart wrong or didn’t mark it. Now I would have made a huge deal about it and it would have caused my rating to go down, but the staff was so quick to rectify the situation, it made it better. The manager got us a free drink and got my Jim beam merch for me (I got some cool glasses and a t shirt). Then they were able to find us a table which was still perfect view of the fireworks. We ordered our food and enjoyed the show. We ordered the oysters, mussels, pork belly steam buns, shrimp, brussel sprouts, beef tartare, sea scallops and I got the chocolate raspberry tart to finish off. We ordered a lot of food, but let me just say, the menu is pretty random for the vibe of river street in my opinion lol but it was amazing. Everything had such good flavor, texture, the seafood wasn’t fishy, tasted fresh. The tartare tasted so good with the bread they provide with it, I just didn’t like the shallots cuz I don’t like onions much. For the tart, I would have preferred a chocolate tart with maybe raspberry couli on top but it was a little too tart with it having raspberry filling. The rose merengue was delicious though and so creamy. Despite the incident we encountered, I’d give our experience a 9/10. I would definitely go back. The staff was top tier as well.
