Collins Quarter
The Collins Quarter is a bustling and vibrant café with an all-day brunch menu that transforms into an elegant candle-lit dinner service at night. We just grabbed some specialty coffees, but learned that their two locations have absolutely picturesque settings with a culinary reputation that will satisfy your inner foodie.
Husk Savannah
Husk is an epic name under which culinary legend Sean Brock transformed the essence of southern food at the original Charleston location. Now Husk serves up elevated southern fare and cocktails in a landmark mansion within Savannah’s historic district. The restaurant was greeted with high expectations and has been exceeding them since opening in 2018. We had brunch here - at one of Savannah’s top dining experiences.
The Pirates’ House
The Pirates’ House has been welcoming visitors to Savannah since 1753, serving up a bounty of delicious food and drink just a scant jaunt from the Savannah River. This is indeed one of the most historic and haunted spots in Georgia - a place where tales of hidden tunnels and being Shanghaied abound. Come enjoy an extensive menu and thirst quenching drinks within the same walls where pirates and sailors did the same hundreds of years ago.
Treylor Park
Treylor Park is where owner Trey Wilder takes familiar classics and bar foods to create what has been dubbed elevated white-trash dishes. The uniqueness of the menu is only surpassed by the quality of ingredients and spot-on execution. The restaurant has been featured on television and social media all while becoming a hit with locals and visitors alike. Open your mind and come enjoy life within the Treylor Park.
Vics on the River
Vics on the River is a fine-dining restaurant located within an old cotton warehouse that was a strategic location for General Sherman's army during the Civil War. Now they use the historic building to serve up splendid southern cuisine that has achieved more awards and media attention than you can shake a stick at. With live music, an ample bar, and the backdrop of the elegant Savannah River, this is a place where date night meets friendly hangout.
Sorry Charlie’s
Sorry Charlie’s is Savannah’s premier oyster bar, serving beers and cocktails alongside fresh local seafood with an emphasis on southern regional flavors. Housed in one of the oldest commercial buildings in Georgia, they even have a rooftop where you can enjoy the sunset with a glass of your favorite beverage.
Moon River Brewing
Moon River Brewing is housed in one of the oldest, most historic (and haunted) buildings in Savannah. Opened as a hotel in 1821, it served as a warehouse until the 1960s before being renovated into the brew pub concept. Today you can enjoy beers, cocktails, and elevated bar food at this frequent stop for haunted tour groups.
Olde Pink House
The Olde Pink House serves up classic southern cuisine within an elegant mansion built in 1771. It has been one of Savannah’s most sought-after restaurants, gaining a spot as one of the nation’s top 5 most romantic dining experiences - according to Opentable.
Alligator Soul
Alligator Soul is one of Savannah’s premier restaurants, bringing an unpretentious fine dining experience to eclectic southern cuisine within a former basement grain warehouse. Their extensive menu is highlighted by organic, fresh, natural, dayboat, local and regional fare. The experience starts with fresh, creative cocktails and extends through to delectable house-made desserts.
Leopold’s Ice Cream
People have been lining up for Leopold’s Ice Cream in historic Savannah since 1919 - often in lines that extend down the block. From award-winning, homemade super-premium ice cream to fresh squeezed fruit drinks, a visit to Leopold’s will help you understand how 100 year old recipes can lead to a place among the best ice cream shops in the world.
