Southern hospitality, fine coastal cuisine, and well-chosen wines in a comfortable, elegant 1900 mansion have made Elizabeth on 37th a favorite destination in Savannah since 1981. Inspired by Chef Elizabeth Terry, Elizabeth on 37th continues to serve a sumptuous combination of traditional and innovative dishes, directed by Chef Kelly Yambor. The wine program and service staff are led by owners Greg and Gary Butch. Elizabeth on 37th is located in the Victorian District. The mansion, built for a cotton broker, is decorated with historic Savannah colors and patterns, fresh flowers, original paintings and ceramics, and is entered through fragrant herb gardens. *We are able to seat parties larger than 8, please contact the restaurant for availability via phone or email.

This was our annual visit to meet in Savannah and spend time with family. 11ten is always a spectacular meal. The food was delicious and the service was flawless. The restaurant was extremely busy yet the attention to detail was unaffected. Another great meal. Thank you very much. Hope to see you again in 2025.

We went during Christmas so the Frostys pop up bar was the reason for going here for brunch. The waitress was very knowledgeable of the regular menu and even the special menu. The food was pretty good. The drinks were better. The atmosphere was best.

About the restaurant
Fresh, wild Georgia shrimp, perfectly aged top-quality beef, and international selections crafted with local ingredients and our own Southern flare make the menu at Oaks Club Restaurant a can’t miss. Superb local produce as well as seafood and meats chosen personally by our chef make Oaks Club the best choice in Coastal Georgia for surf or turf, and all with stunning views of the Darien River.

This was our first time there, even though it's been open for over a year. We're sorry it took so long for us to go. The environment was great and the food was great. Finally, when we got the bill, we found it was very affordable. While not cheap, I've paid way more for the same great quality of food and service. I highly recommend.
