Our waitress was exceptional. She was young full of energy and knew about the menu and the food. We would go again just to have her wait on us. It was a very positive experience and wonderful. I wish I could remember her name. I think it was Elise. She made all the difference last night at Boars head Tavern in Savannah. I highly recommend it.

We had a great experience at Boar’s Head Tavern for dinner. The service was excellent as were the food and cocktails. Everyone in our party had a different entree and all of them were excellent. The filet was cooked perfectly and the seafood dishes were fresh and well prepared. Definitely recommend and we will be coming back for sure!

The bartender was excellent and the food was delicious. The ambience was perfect and the person who sat us overheard us talking about wanting a view of the river and selected the perfect table for us The waiter way we had seemed a bit overwhelmed. He did the best he could and was extremely polite and patient.
