Our server, James, was brilliant and handled all 11 people, arriving at slightly different times, smoothly and effortlessly for each guest. I hope to have him on our next visit. The restaurant concierge, Mary, also was a joy to deal with and was helpful at every step. My food was good but would have preferred less stingy with garlic (especially on the escargot) and truffle oil. I remember those flavors being more pronounced before the chef change a year or so ago.

Delicious food. The salmon was cooked to perfection as was the steak. Even the sourdough bread with butter with honey and sesame seeds was wonderful.

I am a Melting Pot fan but the Savannah restaurant is not a favorite but okay. Parking is expensive at $5/hr so expect to pay for 2-hrs when you park. Seating for two is a little tight and constraining. We had a nice wall to look at. The bar area is very nice. Food portions are a little small and priced a little too high. I tolerate this for the quality and experience of occasional dining.
