    Food was not as described. I ordered a pasta with seared scallops and shrimp and they definitely were not seared. Also, the waitress acted like she could care less. Very nonchalant which was disappointing because we went to celebrate my nieces 21st birthday. It just wasn’t a good experience.

    As it was our 50th wedding anniversary (5/26/) we were expecting a lot! We had eaten at the River House a few years back and were totally satisfied. This time was a let down, food was average and our waitress had a total attitude. (She just didn't want to be there) I would like to add that she was not rude but not at all friendly....Maybe she needs a night off !!!!!!

    Great server and ambience. Had made a reservation for dinner at 7 and was seated promptly. Only complaint was the dessert ordered peach cobbler which was obviously not fresh peaches as listed on menu. Tasted like can peaches, We had been advised to ask for it heated which we did. Presentation was very nice taste not so much. Word to wise don’t order fruit dessert unless fruit in season. Would return for dining as good other than dessert were very delicious.

    My wife’s steak was way over done. We had to wait for a remake. By the time she got her food I had finished. It was my 70th Birthday dinner. Not very good experience.

    Wonderful food and service. We had lunch and ordered seared scallops, fried green tomatoes and lobster shrimp rolls. Also bloody Mary’s. Everything was 5 stars. It is a quiet lovely place with very friendly staff. It will be on my list any time Zuzu go back to Savannah. Don’t miss it.

    I was so excited to eat here, what a let down. Also it was Mothers Day! Appetizer was oyster with collard tasted disgusting and a couple of the oysters were bad. I had a crab cake salad. The crab cake was all filler didn't see any crab. My husband wanted the Maui that was on the menu they were out of that so he ordered the fish of the. His fish was cold and the potatoes were under cooked. The server told us up front that they were out of a lot of food and we could expect a longer wait time. Server asked how we liked are meal are response was no we didn’t . Server went the Manager and got us 15.00$ off our bill which was ridiculous. That didn't even cover the tax… will not recommend or go back. Very very dissatisfied. Server was good.

    I hate leaving bad reviews but this restaurants google rating is not accurate or to date. My wife and I Ordered the blackened flounder and chef’s appetizer. Appetizer came out at the same time as the flounder. Couldn’t tell if waitress was having a bad day but she was unpleasant and not attentive. We thought it might just be a bad day for them but once we got the black flounder, it was rubbery and not fresh. The risotto had no flavor and tasted like rice that had been sitting in water for a while. I hate leaving bad reviews but this restaurant was a waste of time and ruined my wife’s and I’s appetite for the rest of the night. I hope it was just a bad visit for us but they didn’t do anything to make it right either. Hope they can turn it around to the good reviews they used to get in the past.

    The food was delicious, but it took an hour to get it. Apparently, we got behind a large group, but several tables who arrived after us were served first. Perhaps this was a fluke, but it made for a disappointing experience.

    I would not recommend this restaurant. The food was mediocre at best, I ordered the pecan salmon which had little taste and the mashed sweet potatoes were awful - too sweet and overcooked. The waiter was rude and could care less about customer service.

    Food was fine. After ordering drinks we sat and waited a long time. I finally went to the bar and found them sitting on the service bar. During this entire period of time someone who appeared to be the manager was chatting up a couple of women at an adjacent table. More training required!
