                    My husband and I had a wonderful time. We loved the whipped tahini and the lamb sausage. Whisky drinks were also yummy and the service was lovely. We would recommend.

                    One of the best dining experiences that I’ve had in Savannah in the past seven years since moving here. The service was amazing. Our server Kelly was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. The food was spectacular. A caringly curated menu with carefully chosen ingredients that were amazing combinations. From the scotch duck egg, which was the best I’ve ever eaten to the house, made olive oil, ice cream, and Mole’ chocolate and toasted marshmallow ice cream. I can’t say enough about this place and we will definitely be back. It became our favorite after just one visit. Definitely a culinary experience that we have been searching for in Savannah. They clearly care and are invested in what they are doing

                    We picked the 1540 Room after a quick search on Open Table and we were blown away. Our server was incredibly helpful both in selecting dishes and in tips about things to try in Savannah, since it was our first time here. The good was insanely good from the steak tartare to the local catch to the desserts, which were amazing and complex. We would highly recommend the 1540 Room.

                    100% amazing - creative menu, delicious food, great service, quiet atmosphere. Our server, Kelly, helped make our experience unforgettable. He was very knowledgeable on the menu and wine pairings without being pretentious. Everything we had was absolutely delicious. It truly felt like their goal was to give us an amazing experience, which feels like a rare occurrence in restaurants. If I was local I would eat here regularly!
