My Wife and I went to Savour for our Anniversary dinner. The entire experience was exceptional! We were greeted politely and were graciously given a choice between a complimentary glass of champagne or wine for our special night (we chose champagne to celebrate). We were seated and we both noted that the lighting was perfect, not too bright or dark and the ambience in the restaurant was very enjoyable. We ordered an appetizer (Cast-Iron BBQ Gulf Shrimp) which was delightful. The cocktails we got were also amazing. Full of flavor, but still nice and strong (lol)! I ordered the Chargrilled Filet Mignon and she got the Bone-in Veal Chop for our entrées. Both were beyond delicious and cookes to perfection! We would 100% recommendend Savour for any special occasion, or if you just want a delightfully delicious and enjoyable experience!! Two thumbs up, 10 out of 10!! Loved it! 💯👍👍

About the restaurant

Pure white Haussmannian wall panel moldings, gold mirrors, marble bistro tables, herringbone floors, green velvet booths…

…The sweet perfume of Rosemary, Thyme, Toasted Baguette, Truffles, Boeuf Bourguignon served by an elegant waiter…

…Melodies from Serge Gainsbourg and Edith Piaf are playing in the back, you love these songs, you try to guess the words…

…A Champagne bottle suddenly pops. You hear that very typical sound of 1500 years of French history in a bottle.

You have landed in Paris.

But are there palm trees in Paris?

Is it the Seine River? Why do you see a white sandy beach on the horizon? Are we in Paris? Or are we in “Floride”?

Come and see for yourself.

You are eating at Renaissance tonight!

Miam! Bon Appétit.

I’ve eaten here 3 times. Everything results in making this my favorite restaurant in the Pensacola, Perdido Key, and eastern Alabama. Had grouper Lyonnaise, amberjack and last night an 8oz filet, shrimp bisque and oysters rockefeller. Couldn’t ask for better. My wife had New Orleans Shrimp & Andouille.

Jackson’s Steakhouse procures only Midwestern grain-fed beef from the heartland of America. The Proprietor’s Cut and fresh, local seafood are hand-selected and artistically prepared to perfection. Jackson’s great steak cuts stand tall with the superb flavor of wet-aged beef that is like no other thanks to the culinary creations of Executive Chef Irv Miller.
