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

We were celebrating our anniversary and Elizabeth's was the place to be if you wanted to feel special! Our staff was very attentive, informative, friendly and went over and beyind to make us feel welcome. The food was excellent, very well presented and the perfect portion sizes for a 7 course experience. The grand finale was our dessert course, presented with lighted candles to help us celebrate. Kudos to Allie and Michael, and the whole staff at Elizabeth's!

If you like old buildings, you will like this place. The food and the service was very good. The food wasn't as hot as I like it. We had the fried green tomatoes for a starter. My husband had the salmon oscar and I had the blackened shrimp and all of it was good. We both had alcoholic drinks which were good. This place is pricey but it was a special occasion. I would go there again.

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.

This was our first time there, even though it's been open for over a year. We're sorry it took so long for us to go. The environment was great and the food was great. Finally, when we got the bill, we found it was very affordable. While not cheap, I've paid way more for the same great quality of food and service. I highly recommend.

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.

Georgia Sea Grill has been our favorite on the island for more than 12 years. Great food and service. We love going there with friends and family. Mid week is a great time to go....not so crowded.

What a wonderful Christmas inspired breakfast. The already spectacular views of the river was enhanced by the creative holiday decorations. The oven bread was delicious and the best accompaniment to the Shakshuka (which was some of the best I’ve had!)

This was our annual visit to meet in Savannah and spend time with family. 11ten is always a spectacular meal. The food was delicious and the service was flawless. The restaurant was extremely busy yet the attention to detail was unaffected. Another great meal. Thank you very much. Hope to see you again in 2025.
