My only critiques are lighting is way too low in the main dining room, and service is a bit slow.... also, the floor is the slippery kind of wood, so ladies have some grip on your heels. Drinks and Food are DELICIOUS! GOOD VIBES... small selection of courses, tho.

EXCELLENT southern cuisine. We were there for a birthday dinner. The food was amazing and the service was great. We had one of the last reservations of the night and at no time did the staff rush us or make us feel like we were an inconvenience. This was my second visit and it won’t be the last!

The food was amazing, the service was great. Our waitress had no problem changing our table due to the couple next to us playing their phone too loud, but after that everything was great. The music was on point, I was singing along and moving to the music the whole time. 🙂 The braised oxtail...OMG, it was delicious and tender!! I heard great things about Savannah Blue and they didn't disappoint. Will definitely be going back.

My friend and I snagged last minute Valentine’s Day reservations and had the best experience. From being seated immediately, to the food — our experience was a 10/10. We expected a bit of a wait due to the holiday, and we did have that. But the exceptional service we received from Crystal, our server, more than made up for it. She was communicative, funny and warm despite being swamped with tables. We ordered a lot from the menu and every single thing was delicious! The wings and the sweet potato cheesecake were our favorites. We will definitely be back and thank the staff so much for their hard work and hospitality.

Our first time there, definitely not our last. The SB salad was the best salad I’ve ever had with that apple cider vinaigrette. Portions were generous. Flavor was outstanding. Value for money was off the charts. The strawberry cheesecake dessert they made for Valentine’s Day was on point with the best crust. The entire staff from the moment you walk inside was welcoming and warm. Always with a smile. Top notch. We had such a great experience, would recommend to anyone.
