Best Historic Restaurants in Oakdale

I continue to think that 11ten is the under appreciated gem of fine dining in Savannah. We ordered one old favorite (mussles with chorizo) and two new dishes- fried cauliflower and grouper on a bed of lima beans and cabbage. All were excellent. Out waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the food. Not cheap- except compared to Common Thread :). Well worth a visit.

Our recent dining experience at Elizabeth on 37th was nothing short of extraordinary. My wife and I have made this our annual Christmas tradition, and once again, it exceeded all expectations. We indulged in the seven-course menu and highly recommend the wine pairing—it’s a splurge, but well worth it. The thoughtful pairing elevated each dish to new heights, showcasing the chef’s and sommelier’s expertise. A special shoutout to our server, Kim, who made the evening truly unforgettable. Kim was not only incredibly personable but he also took the time to explain each course in detail, highlighting how the flavors complemented the paired wines. His attentiveness and genuine enthusiasm went above and beyond, making us feel like VIPs throughout the evening. While the meal is on the pricier side, the quality and creativity of the dishes make it worth every penny. This restaurant is a gem in Savannah, offering both a romantic atmosphere and exceptional cuisine. Elizabeth on 37th is an experience we cherish every year, and we can’t wait to return.

Lovely small restaurant with high quality food service and ambiance. A consistent winner for special occasion meals. Our server was delightful. The food was delicious. The presentations were special and the specialty drinks were tasty. And we could sit and talk without having to shout over the noise. The restaurant was calm and cozy and comfortable and not noisy like most downtown restaurants. off the beaten path a few blocks but well worth the price. this is one ofour favorite special occassion locations. Consistently very good. And about half what you will spend at other pricier options such as Elizabeths or Common Thread.

Completely unexpected. Not a cheesy pirate joint. Food, service, and ambiance was perfect. Would definitely recommend. Kids loved the homemade bread, and children’s dishes shrimp and chicken tenders.

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.
