We had the opportunity to experience a fun Valentines Day Dinner at Savanna. This is a very unique dining experience at the restaurant at a Zoo. They offered a full bar and full dining experience. The Valentine Day special was a shared steak meal for two for only $100.00. The add was a little deceiving as stated because it sounded like wine pairings were to be included, but they were not, however, they had a nice selection of wine and we were able to find a big bold red wine that paired great with the steak. The food was excellent. The meal included crab cakes, a salad, a nice 16 ounce steak and dessert (tiramisu). Since I preferred the cookie and ice cream, we were able to exchange the dessert option. The service was provided by one server and the manager/owner. Its a good thing the manager was there because the server certainly lacked personality, concern or manners for that matter, as she wouldn't clear the table when she brought new dishes out, but, the manager made up for her lack of attention. other than that, it was a great experience.

We were there for a Valentine day special. Dinner for 2 for $100. Food was ok, porterhouse steak was small, thin and tough. With drinks and tip it was almost $150. ! Not anything special about it! Won’t be going back!

tasty food with a varied menu. Excellent live music with Lisa. Service a bit hectic but we were fine with taking our time and enjoying appetizers, $3.00 wine, main course, and dessert.

The food was great and the service was very nice and prompt. Atmosphere was nice, with soft music playing was a plus. We have been wanting to come for a while and finally had the chance. Very pleased.
