Our server was Eric and he was a wonderful server! The food was excellent! I have lived in Savannah for 2 years and consider this one of my favorites. The bartenders always have unique and adventurous specialties drinks to taste. The Raw Bar chefs have tasty and unique toppings to spice up the delicious oysters. This was our first time having the Brunch Menu which had a nice variety for our group. Sad there are not more choices for people with food allergies. Suggest the chefs consider adjusting the salad selection and adding vegetables sides to the menu so that entrees items can be adjusted for food allergy needs. As it was the afternoon, I was there for oysters and cocktails, and enjoyed the wonderful flavorful experience!!!
