Best Historic Restaurants in Talahi Island

We have dined here many times and the last three times we were disappointed in the service. Our young lady was very nice and friendly this time and was overseated. Someone finally came and offered us water. Took quite a while to get cocktails. She was very accommodating as was the kitchen to customize the pineapple situation.took forever to get wine. Halfway finished with entree. Decided to not order another glass. Paid check and went to chive where we were recognized and greeted immediately And we haven’t even been there as often as the common. Seems Like since change of management or chef service has deteriorated. After last time we said we wouldn’t go back but did thinking it wouldn’t happen again. Three strikes. You’re out. Server was good. Just no apparent floor management running and helping servers or bartenders

Every time we go there, we love it. This is one me of our favorite restaurants in Savannah. Great service, great food, great selection of drinks, extremely accommodating in every aspect! If they can, the answer has always been..let me talk to the manager (who’s great), the chef (whose passion and food knowledge results in exceptional dishes), or the wait staff (all have always gone above expectations). I can not recommend this restaurant any higher than I have! When you go to a good, really good restaurant, you want others to have the same expectations and experience. This restaurant will not disappoint.

Our server was super friendly and helpful. Starting off with a fresh baked honey biscuit. I had the 1790 signature salad and the melt in your mouth Short ribs. Hubby had Miss Annette’s crab stew which he says is the best in Savannah. We are locals, hubby is originally from Maryland so he is kind of a crab expert. He also had the Oyster Rockefeller and Shrimp Scampi ( yes he was hungry. He thought they were great and very filling. There is a piano player every night. And this time of year they have the fireplace on and it’s very cozy and romantic. Highly recommend!

My husband and I ate appetizers only for dinner, along with glasses of wine. All were good, but the crab cake was a little too bready. The octopus was less tender than we've had elsewhere. The she crab soup lacked sufficient spice and was lighter than we've had elsewhere, almost milky. We asked for extra sherry, which helped the flavor. The crawfish beignets were disappointing, also. They were not light enough and needed more crawfish. Our server Kalena was very attentive and said whether she liked each appetizer that we chose.

We had no idea what to expect, but what a great Thanksgiving Day buffet! I'm surprised they don't mention this on their website. Our server, Allie, was so friendly. All the staff did a great job. The food went above and beyond, we really enjoyed every bite! Worth the $$$$.
