What People Say

Reviewers love the rooftop ambiance, calling it one of the best places in Savannah for sunset views and cocktails. The shrimp and grits, chicken sliders, and Grove burger get frequent praise, and many mention the staff’s attentiveness and upbeat attitude. Guests also appreciate the strong drink selection and the relaxed yet modern décor.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that the restaurant can get noisy during peak hours—a testament to its popularity, but not ideal if you're seeking a quiet meal. Wait times may vary, especially on busy nights, so reservations or arriving early is a smart move if you’re on a schedule.

Nancy, Savannah Sun, 18 December 2022

When we got there, we saw the bar with a few tables and a couple of rooms off to the side. We were seated at one of the tables. The menus could be downloaded to a phone, but not easily read, to say the least. The service was OK, and the food was fine. It's OK for a casual meal, but not for a fine dining experience, to say the least. It was not our first choice of restaurant, but the ones we wanted were booked.

Liked: Food was good.
Disliked: No printed menus; very casual; OK for pre-game or casual evening.
