Food was great and so was service. The band was way too loud. They were good but we came for ambiance and the ability to talk to each other and when they started playing we could not hear each other and we were not even in the same room as the band

Tapas / Small Plates

Amarillo

About the restaurant

Contrary to what most think, the word tapas actually means "to cover". Rooted as a tradition in Spanish culture, socializing patrons of restaurants would cover their wine glasses with small plates to protect their beverages from insects and small pests while outdoors. At Savor, we pay homage to this ritual in our own unique way. The urban and chic atmosphere invites locals to step outside Amarillo for an evening and into another place entirely. With an urban, speakeasy vibe, Savor welcomes its patrons to sit comfortably at the bar or in a cozy booth next to the floor to ceiling windows.

One of the best steaks I have eaten in a while. The surf and turf special was creative with the creole seasoning and very tasty.
