Quite nice. Also of note-in a good way- the hen of the woods and the Pork Pot Pie. Took half of the latter home and it was even better the day after. They need to work on those French Fries.

Sneakeater Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Special! Their signature dish. I wonder how often they offer it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 Will they offer it in the middle of March? I will let you know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve R. Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 We like the Pork Pot Pie. And the wedge and the she crab soup and the fried chicken and the chicken liver pate and the creamed spinach and the NY Strip Steak and the ice cream and the ambience and… Unfortunately, we’re not enthused by the Sunken Harbor Club.

Wilfrid Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 I am not a big tikki person in any case, although good to know it's there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve R. Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 As I so often do, I’ve (over)thought about this & think that the problem, for me at least, is the contrast between the two places. You walk into this beautiful restored space that is G&T, then go upstairs to a dark room with, as I see it, faux “atmosphere” and get cute drinks. I think they would’ve done better to create a more cosmopolitan lounge setting. This place would do better in an East Village location — or maybe not, as didnt Julie R. try that already with her Hawaiian Tiki bar? Once was enough - if I want drinks before dinner there, I’ll have them at the G&T bar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Not that it'll make you like it more, but the Tiki bar is an offshoot of a popular weekly pop-up (as the kids call them) that St. John used to have at Fort Defiance. I do agree with you that concept seems incongruous upstairs from G&T (even if that space's last use was as something like a nail salon). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve R. Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Passing thru Savannah for a few days, we had dinner at the insanely booked up Olde Pink House. They were quoting 3 hour waits for a bar seat & absolutely no chance at a table, but I had made table reservations weeks in advance so we were in. We’ve been there before and enjoyed it, but our expectations were not set too high as we didnt think it was “special good”. While Ginny had very good breaded fried oysters & a texture-less pork tenderloin (sous vide’d no doubt), I intentionally ordered the She Crab Soup & the Fried Chicken, since that’s my usual at G&T. As expected, both were very good, but not as good as G&T. Cost less & probably worth a visit when in Savannah, but it made me appreciate G&T even more. Just thought you all would like to know.

Wilfrid Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 You are taking me back many years to when I ate there: Munchkin mother was pregnant with Munchkin, so more than 20 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
