Best Southern American Restaurants in Abercorn Heights / Lamara Heights / Ridgewood

Epic Christmas Eve dinner. We decided to go with the chefs tasting menu and wine pairing and I’m so glad we put our trust in the chef and kitchen. The gnocchi was light and delicious. The octopus was a favorite at our table as well. Every wine was a perfect complement. By far, the best thing about the experience was the service. Our server Kalona was a delight. Really personable, kept us well informed about the food and wine. She even wrote down the name of the wines we enjoyed the most. This will likely be a new tradition for Christmas Eve.

Outstanding food… The shrimp gumbo was superb and there how specialty of piquant glazed fried chicken is simply amazing! Really fun place to visit and we had from Bob.

Tasting menu was supposed to have wine pairings with specific courses. We were often nearly through a course before the paired wine was served

I had originally made my reservation for outside seating, unaware of the weather forecast. So of course, it was raining when I arrived. :) The hostess, Tammy, was a charm in getting me a table in the very busy restaurant. I'm so grateful for her accommodating me. Then I met Gabi, who was my server. She is a lovely person and was very helpful, attentive, and pleasant. I ordered the deviled eggs as an appetizer and the Southern Charm burger as my main course. I was blown away by both - so delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and cannot thank enough Tammy, Gabi, and the entire staff for such a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Ardsley Station!

Our first time to dine at Vic’s. A little confusing finding and walked down to the river front and went to Vic’s River Grill next door. The host at VRG kindly walked us to the Vic’s on the River entrance and explained about going through the coffee shop and using the elevator to go up four floors to the restaurant. Come to find out they have a street level entrance that we used after dinner. We had a reservation and they let our son, whom we were meeting, be seated at 5:45 or we would have been 10 minutes late so that was good. The atmosphere was great and we had a table with a window facing the river. Our server, Alix was very friendly and knowledgeable of the entire menu. She took our cocktail orders and brought us out a basket of homemade biscuits. The martini’s were very good and my son’s Malbec was good also. My son and I had the braised short ribs that came with mashed potatoes and fresh green beans which was very tender and tasty and my wife had a Caesar salad. We found the prices to be very good. We will definitely be adding this restaurant to our Savannah dining list but will find a closer parking garage and now know about the street level entrance.
