- FFaithSouth Carolina •5 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoBree is the best server! She made us feel special from the time we sat down. She also remembers everything about our order (no notes!) This is the third time we have spent our Anniversary at Saltus. It is great every time!More infoSaltus River GrillPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Beaufort•4.7
- AAdamVIPCoastal Georgia •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI continue to think that 11ten is the under appreciated gem of fine dining in Savannah. We ordered one old favorite (mussles with chorizo) and two new dishes- fried cauliflower and grouper on a bed of lima beans and cabbage. All were excellent. Out waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the food. Not cheap- except compared to Common Thread :). Well worth a visit.More infoLocal 11ten Food & WinePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Historic District - South•4.8

- DDonnaSouth Carolina •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoAn absolutely lovely evening. We started the evening with a Lemon Drop martini and a martini for the hubby. Very good. We began our foods with the Beef Carpaccio, excellent. The bread was substantial and very good with the Carpaccio. Sometimes it's too hard, this was great. The quail eggs were delicious. Rylie (sp?) our server helped my hubby decide on the Elk Tenderloin as he was undecided. I am so glad she did - WOW. One of the best pieces of meat either of us have ever had. I had the Filet and it was excellent. Overall, an outstanding experience and The Bluffton room has improved over the years to become a place to celebrate those special occasions or just to have the very good burger at the bar. Can't wait until next time!More infoThe Bluffton RoomPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Bluffton•4.9
- RRhondaVIPCharlotte •14 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoFirst came perfectly chilled martinis. Everything that followed was delicious, but if local pecan crusted flounder with brown butter sauce is a special, order it. Ours came with three large filets served on a copious bed of perfectly cooked green beans accompanied by a yummy square of parmesan polenta. While the Caesar salad was tasty, topped with white anchovies, it had a bit too much of what appeared to be pre-shredded packaged parmesan cheese. For the price, some freshly shaved parm & house-made croutons would have been better. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the pear & arugula salad. There was also a good selection of desserts but, alas, we had dined to well to have any. Kudos to the chef et al in the kitchen & to the bartender. All the rest of the CQ staff, from hostess to servers & bussers, were welcoming & efficient. And, your evening will be made even more perfect if you are seated at a table that includes Michelle as your wait person. Her warmth, efficiency & sense of humor was delightful & topped off a most wonderful evening.More infoCQ'sPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Hilton Head•4.8
