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.

We went during Christmas so the Frostys pop up bar was the reason for going here for brunch. The waitress was very knowledgeable of the regular menu and even the special menu. The food was pretty good. The drinks were better. The atmosphere was best.

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.
