    Attentive and professional staff from front end to waiters and manager. Gumbo and the days specialty fish dishes were excellent. Interesting wine menu. Wish there were more white wines by the glass. Parking tough but I parked in PO around corner Visiting family for the week. Bought a gift certificate for here as Xmas present for son and wife. They will enjoy the restaurant immensely. It will be our go to 1st choice place when we visit Savannah again in the future

    The bison was not as good. My wife had a steak last time I believe and it was very good. I had the crab cake. Could not taste any Crab. Last time I had the scallop's and they were delicious. The alligator bites were fried with a source. Last they were delicious. This time not so. It is a very nice restaurant. Maybe I was expecting more.

    Service was impeccable. GM stopped by twice to check on us and even shared his local fish monger. Both dishes - elk and a triple-tail fish - used great ingredients, were well- seasoned, and beautifully presented. Good wine list, good cocktails. Not cheap, but a "you get what you pay for" kinda deal.

    Every dish was amazing and unique. The fried alligator was perfectly prepared and more delicious than expected for something so uncommon! The rib meat fell off the bone and the fish special and cheesy grits were mouth-wateringly good. Great service, atmosphere, and food. Easily the best restaurant we went to this year.

    Staff was friendly and welcoming. One of the best dining experiences we have had in savannah, even better due to the amazing atmosphere and server, Paige. Amazing drink selection and fantastic rotating menu items to boot. Thank you for helping me treat my wife to an amazing meal and even better memories. (The birthday card was a great touch)

    We were really excited to eat here, but the food was quite underwhelming. I had the duck (barely warm with congealed sauce) and my partner the bison (meh but nothing special). For $40+ per entree you should get more!
