What People Are Saying About Bistro-Savannah

The Scene
Situated near bustling City Market, this unpretentious little bistro oozes playful sophistication in an area that can sometimes feel overrun with beer-swilling students and tipsy tourists bent on shoring up Savannah's reputation as a great place to party. The dining room is dimly lit and smartly decorated; funky modern art jazzes up exposed gray brick walls and a huge bouquet of fresh flowers graces the tiny bar. Service is chummy, knowledgeable and efficient.
The Food
Local favorites like sautéed shrimp and tasso (cured pork) over stone-ground grits grace a modest menu that's heavy on seafood, but doesn't exclude other tempting offerings. Sweet peach-and-pear chutney nicely complements a generous filet of tangy barbequed black grouper. A robust roast duck--crispy on the outside, delectably moist inside--is served with fat Bing cherries and orange marmalade. For dessert, try a plate of sautéed berries with shortcake and impossibly rich vanilla bean ice cream.

My husband and I went to Savannah for our anniversary and absolutely loved this place! The service was great, the food was excellent, and we will go back on our next trip!

The aps, mains, and deserts were fantastic; the only reason this review is 4 stars instead of 5 was the cost of the meal. My dining parter and myself were treated with a $100 gift certificate; a single drink and a couple courses each later and the certificate was history. It seemed a little pricey for the standard bistro fare, so although we enjoyed it we're holding our for another $100 gift certificate to show up before we make a reservation again.

Poor service, room temperature food (for what was supposed to be hot), and bland flavors. 'Nuf said.
