Marie Foster
New restaurant came just as they were opening. Ordered calamari for app and the oil was not hot enough breading was greasy. Entrées were really good and well sized. Apple puree on the pork chop had cinnamon which I had to scrape off. Food sensitivity. Dessert was delish.

We are not novices when it comes to restaurants so when I sat that this establishment is great, I really mean it. We had Brussel spouts and chopped salad, my husband had wild mushroom ravioli and I had the masaman curry. The bread pudding was outstanding. Please don’t hesitate to come.

Unfortunately, we had a disappointing experience at Savanna’s last night. First, the good: the ambiance was nice. Clean and tastfully decorated. The host was able to seat us right away, despite being a little early for our reservation. 6 of 8 in out party ordered beer or cocktails. All were good. The asparagus fries appetizer was good.

We enjoyed the Korean BBQ Sticky Rib appetizer (Delicious) and split a pizza at the bar. Prices were a bit steep but the quality of the food we ate and cocktails we enjoyed were well worth the price. Exceptional staff and a very friendly atmosphere. We will be back.

A stand out restaurant- The staff make you feel at home as soon as you enter and it’s an open yet intimate environment with good energy. My party sat at one of the booths which offered a view of the wood fired oven and the bar. The food and drinks didn’t disappoint. The fish and risotto were fresh and excellent and the creme brulee and chocolate cake were equally delicious. Overall a great experience. I’ll be heading back.

A little disappointed. Our family went there for “Mother’s Day Brunch” but there was no brunch food on the menu. Instead, they had a separate Mother’s Day menu that was their dinner menu. The food and service were good, I was just a little disappointed to not be able to order brunch food.

A fine dining restaurant in the area. Nice drinks selection that includes tasty cocktails. Really good variety in the food menu. Nice house bread with hummus. The appetizers are good. I tried the calamari and the Korean bbq ribs, both were good. The ribeye was delicious. Also, the crème brûlée was very good. Our server (Emily) was very attentive and answered all our questions.

Long wait for food. Dry chicken sandwich and $36 pork chop was mediocre and cold. Manager needs customer service training to better handle this type of situation.

This was my first visit and went there with two other women friends, curious to try a new restaurant. We’re over 55 and went expecting this restaurant to cater to college students. We were pleasantly surprised by the simple elegance of the place with its careful attention to detail. Comfortable booths, chic bar area and the lighting was perfect in my opinion, accented with hand blown glass lamp shades.
