    Laura was our waitress - she was so sweet and friendly. I was celebrating my birthday tonight and she made sure to top the cheesecake dessert with a sparkly candle. She also sang happy birthday to me! :,) What already was a delicious meal was topped off with superb customer service. I will come back for sure.

    It is not easy to find great vegan options for eating out. Savor was the exception. Incredible food and atmosphere, Chef was very attentive and his suggestions were spot on. He even gave us a dessert on the house for our birthday guest!! The BEST vegan restaurant we have been to. Will absolutely return!

    The food was amazing as always. For starters we had the chicories w/ roasted grapes and Gorgonzola as well as the arancini. Then we had the olive and bicolor rabe pizza and the rigatoni bolognese. My gf loves the ring of fire cocktail and I had the Negroni salad cocktail which was delicious. Very friendly staff. 10/10
