Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Avalon / Oglethorpe Mall Area

Our server, Scott, was great…. Exceptional service! Noble Fare has become our favorite dining destination in Savannah. As always, the food, the ambiance, and service were first rate.

We had a party of seven and excellent meals. The pasta dish, grouper and duck were outstanding. I don’t think I’ve ever had better duck. Like all restaurants, prices have gone up and entrées are generally in the $40 range. We will be back.

**Five Stars Are Not Enough!** 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Our anniversary dinner at Vick's on the River in Savannah was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, the warm ambiance, excellent service, and attention to detail made the evening unforgettable. My wife began with the French onion soup, which she adored, and savored the short rib for her main dish—perfectly tender and full of flavor. I opted for another bowl of soup and a Caesar salad, both of which were fantastic. The salad, in particular, was one of the best I’ve ever had. To make our anniversary extra special, the staff surprised us with a decadent flourless chocolate cake drizzled with raspberry sauce. It was the perfect celebratory touch! While crème brûlée was available that night, we were too full to order it after the indulgent cake, though it stayed on our minds. Parking that evening was a bit of a challenge, but even that couldn’t detract from the perfection of our night. The next evening, we couldn’t resist returning to try the crème brûlée! Even without a reservation, the staff immediately recognized us and graciously seated us in the bar area, just steps away from the live music that created such a timeless and relaxing atmosphere. This time, we avoided parking issues by taking an Uber—highly recommend this approach! The crème brûlée exceeded our expectations, making the second evening as memorable as the first. I savored a double Willet on the rocks, while my wife enjoyed another glass of the same excellent Cabernet from the night before. Vick's on the River delivered not one but two perfect evenings for our anniversary weekend. The food was impeccable, the staff went above and beyond, and the atmosphere was simply unmatched. If you’re in Savannah, don’t miss this incredible dining experience. It’s a must-visit gem that we’ll be recommending to everyone we know!

My husband ordered the duck & he said his was cooked perfectly - medium rare. The scalloped potatoes & veggies (green beans & carrots) were also delicious. He cleaned his plate. I had the smoked salmon appetizer which was good, not much different than what can be found in Costco or ordering online - it came with a lovely horseradish & dill sauce. I also had the crab, avocado appetizer which was more interesting. We had an early reservation which is what I prefer to eating later, but there were people waiting by the time we left around 6:30.

We had the most amazing dinner here. My husband had the pork chop with brussel sprouts and adored the sauce. I had the salmon with the beans and loved how perfectly cooked and flavorful everything was. We also had cocktails that we loved and to top it off the performer was amazing. It was a lovely evening and the next time we are in Savannah we will definitely be back.
