Great bar right downtown Savannah. I had the crab cakes and my friend had the oysters, both excellent. The Bartender (can't recall his name, Pax maybe?) was absolutely amazing. One of the most talented bartenders I've ever seen. Definitely worth the stop if you're in town.

Best tuna ceviche I've ever had in my life. The chilean sea bass was also delicious. One of the best meals we've had in Savannah.

Best restaurant I’ve eaten at in Savannah. Drinks were excellent. Atmosphere Prohibitionist chic. Restaurant is small and they do not take reservations it worth the wait or eat at the bar. You will not be disappointed.

Food was some of the best in Savannah. Please note NO RESERVATIONS anad this place fills up fast. While food was fantastic they are having a major problem keeping wait staff. Sign of the times or other problem?

Get the scallops! Perfectly pan seared and seasoned, Gordon Ramsay would be proud. They were absolutely delicious I wish I lived here so I could eat these again. The prawn risotto was good with an ample amount.Now I always feel like I'm a Southern belle until I order sweet tea in the south...bit too sweet for me but still tasty and refreshing. Just when it was starting to water down to my liking, they brought me a fresh a drink! That is SERVICE! I immediately took the new fresh drink because wow...even though I needed it diluted lol.Definitely give this place a try if you like seafood.

The fish of the day, branzino, was amazing. My husband had the crab stuffed chicken. It was okay. The oyster appetizer was good. We selected first avail seating as they don’t take reservations and ate outside. The wait was short and I would go back and try different things and eat inside.

You won't expect this intimate and elegant restaurant from the street. The service is outstanding and friendly. The waiters are very professional and make you feel like a VIP. The Hemingway Cocktail, Crab Soup, and Lobster Risotto are my top suggestions. I will return to try other dishes. I recommend it 100%.

Stopped into Chive for a quick Sunday afternoon bite and left impressed looking forward to coming back. The decor is eye catching in a nice pleasing way. It is bright aluminum chrome mirrors and brass with deep blue velvet curtains and gold and silver accents. 1920 art Deco lite I'd say but really unique for the area. The bar is beautiful and the bartenders were great very friendly attentive and knowledgeable. They have a host of classic cocktails and some new signature drinks. I'd recommend the Banana Boat, Clover Club and especially the Espresso Martini. I know every bar has one but they really do well capturing a light sweet coffee essence without being too cloying or dairy based. For food we only had the jumbo stuffed chicken wing appetizer but that has to be on your list to try. Crab and chicken really captures the Savannah food scene on a plate we loved it.Parking: As with most of downtown there is paid street parking and parking garages but no lots.

We stopped during our 1 day stay in Savannah. I got the mussles and extra bread. It's a dish I've had there before but this time it was so sweet that I could not eat it. It's an expensive dish not to have it nailed down to perfection. Based on this visit my husband and I would be hesitant to return.

A really good spot for an assortment of seafood - also at a great price. The decor and atmosphere is on point! Would definitely eat here often if we lived in Savannah. Based on the variety of dishes we ordered, and the quality of the food, I have to think that there is not a bad dish on the menu!
