“ The Chatham artillery punch was worth it. We got the souvenir glasses too. Additionally their bisque was excellent. It has a good vibe. I got the taco with blackened fish and avocado and it was very good. I would visit again when I come back. ”
“ The Seafood Mac & Cheese is divine! Sheer perfection, and the broccoli on the side, so fresh, and the perfect complement! The bread crumbs! And big pieces of shrimp, too! Delicious wine list. My friend had the Pecan Bourbon Salmon. I love salmon, but I could tell by the ingredients that it wouldn't be my cup of tea. I believe he was underwhelmed. ”
“ Great food, location was awesome and service was really good. Had a craving for seafood and this place kept popping up. Went in and checked it out. It's pretty big. Was seated right away and had a round of drinks before the food arrived. The lobster ravioli was great! Such a good tasty sauce. My Oscar grouper was so good! Will definitely come back here on my yearly trip back home. See you next year river house!! Until then - you should check it out when you're casually strolling Savannah. ”
“ Stopped for a drink on our anniversary. Also New Years Eve! The drinks were awesome and we going out while waiting for the fireworks at midnight!! Bartender was great and made sure that we got drinks to go before last call. Great experience!! ”
“ It was a slower night so no reservations were required. There was live music being played in the bar area which was not too loud in the dinning room. The building was built in the 1820's as a cotton warehouse converted many times before become the River House in 1982. We were out with the kids and our granddaughter for a good quality meal and we found it. We started off with drinks (Be sure to have your ID, Savannah city law requires everyone ordering a drink to show proof of age). An old fashion (a little heavy on the cherry) Mango margarita - not overly sweet, good balance, A lavender gin drink that was oh so smooth A flight of whiskey. The scallops were great, they came crispy bacon and spinach. I have never had a red sauce with escargot but it had a nice flavor. First time for the kids. Shrimp and grits were good, well balanced, nice texture. Grouper Oscar with crab meat and béarnaise sauce was delicious. The portion size was enough for two! Ny strip - 12oz of meat cooked perfectly. Two steaks ordered so only one picture shown. I substituted collard greens for asparagus and Mac and cheese for mashed potato. The au poivre sauce for the steak was quite tasty. The waiter Clint was great, he had a positive attitude, had some great suggestions for food and drinks and was helpful when we had questions. ”
