About the restaurant

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. Thank you.*

We were celebrating our anniversary and Elizabeth's was the place to be if you wanted to feel special! Our staff was very attentive, informative, friendly and went over and beyind to make us feel welcome. The food was excellent, very well presented and the perfect portion sizes for a 7 course experience. The grand finale was our dessert course, presented with lighted candles to help us celebrate. Kudos to Allie and Michael, and the whole staff at Elizabeth's!

Scott was a great server. Wild mushroom bisque was delicious as was husband’s braised lamb shank. Quiet, romantic spot. Highly enjoyed!

Service was impeccable. GM stopped by twice to check on us and even shared his local fish monger. Both dishes - elk and a triple-tail fish - used great ingredients, were well- seasoned, and beautifully presented. Good wine list, good cocktails. Not cheap, but a "you get what you pay for" kinda deal.

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.
