Savour was the perfect place for a birthday celebration. There were 4 of us. Each of our dinners was delicious, and our server, Imari, was exceptional and so kind. My New Orleans style barbeque shrimp dish was superb! We were able to relax and visit in the beautiful atmosphere. The owners made us feel so warm and welcome!

The meal was tasty and the pinot noir by the glass was outstanding. Very few restaurants offer Paul Hobbs by the glass and it was a real treat along iwth my chicken.

One of the best restaurants in Tallahassee. Food is cooked to perfection and our server Greg was fantastic. It is on the pricey side but their steaks are the best I’ve ever had. You can’t compare steaks here to chain restaurants. My wife had a steak and I had the pork chop. Pork chop was perfectly cooked and juicy. The apple bread pudding was awesome.

There were 8 of us. Our waiter was fantastic at getting our orders right, double checking them and separating our checks especially since we weren’t sitting next to our spouses. The food was just right and the birthday pizookies were delicious.
