The wine program and service staff are led by owners Greg and Gary Butch. Elizabeth on 37th is located in the Victorian District.

Our recent dining experience at Elizabeth on 37th was nothing short of extraordinary. My wife and I have made this our annual Christmas tradition, and once again, it exceeded all expectations. We indulged in the seven-course menu and highly recommend the wine pairing—it’s a splurge, but well worth it. The thoughtful pairing elevated each dish to new heights, showcasing the chef’s and sommelier’s expertise. A special shoutout to our server, Kim, who made the evening truly unforgettable. Kim was not only incredibly personable but he also took the time to explain each course in detail, highlighting how the flavors complemented the paired wines. His attentiveness and genuine enthusiasm went above and beyond, making us feel like VIPs throughout the evening. While the meal is on the pricier side, the quality and creativity of the dishes make it worth every penny. This restaurant is a gem in Savannah, offering both a romantic atmosphere and exceptional cuisine. Elizabeth on 37th is an experience we cherish every year, and we can’t wait to return.

About the restaurant

We do have a lot of fun at Georgia Sea Grill, but we take our commitment to the freshest ingredients very seriously. That's why we grow our own. Only by sourcing our favorite vegetables, fruits and herbs right here at our own Potlikker farm can we be absolutely assured that we are serving nothing but the freshest, healthiest seasonal flavors. Once perfectly-plated with locally-sourced seafood, beef, pork, lamb, poultry, or our own Satilla Ponds farm-raised catfish, you will see and taste the difference that locally-grown brings to the table.

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.

Garibaldi's was a delight from beginning to end. The decorations for the holiday season made it even more festive and beautiful. Will definitely recommend and return!

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.

Situated in Trustees Garden, merely a scant block from the Savannah River, the Famous Pirates' House is the most historic spot in Georgia. The Herb House, erected in 1734, located inside the Pirates' House, is said to be the oldest house in Georgia. The Pirates' House first opened in 1753 as an inn for seafarers and fast became a meeting point for blood-thirsty pirates & sailors. Parking on site.
