- AAdamVIPCoastal Georgia •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI 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.More infoLocal 11ten Food & WinePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Historic District - South•4.8

- JJustinDenver / Colorado •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOur 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.More infoElizabeth on 37thPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Thomas Square•4.9
- DDonnaSouth Carolina •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoAn absolutely lovely evening. We started the evening with a Lemon Drop martini and a martini for the hubby. Very good. We began our foods with the Beef Carpaccio, excellent. The bread was substantial and very good with the Carpaccio. Sometimes it's too hard, this was great. The quail eggs were delicious. Rylie (sp?) our server helped my hubby decide on the Elk Tenderloin as he was undecided. I am so glad she did - WOW. One of the best pieces of meat either of us have ever had. I had the Filet and it was excellent. Overall, an outstanding experience and The Bluffton room has improved over the years to become a place to celebrate those special occasions or just to have the very good burger at the bar. Can't wait until next time!More infoThe Bluffton RoomPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Bluffton•4.9
- RRhondaVIPCharlotte •14 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoFirst came perfectly chilled martinis. Everything that followed was delicious, but if local pecan crusted flounder with brown butter sauce is a special, order it. Ours came with three large filets served on a copious bed of perfectly cooked green beans accompanied by a yummy square of parmesan polenta. While the Caesar salad was tasty, topped with white anchovies, it had a bit too much of what appeared to be pre-shredded packaged parmesan cheese. For the price, some freshly shaved parm & house-made croutons would have been better. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the pear & arugula salad. There was also a good selection of desserts but, alas, we had dined to well to have any. Kudos to the chef et al in the kitchen & to the bartender. All the rest of the CQ staff, from hostess to servers & bussers, were welcoming & efficient. And, your evening will be made even more perfect if you are seated at a table that includes Michelle as your wait person. Her warmth, efficiency & sense of humor was delightful & topped off a most wonderful evening.More infoCQ'sPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Hilton Head Island•4.8
