18 Essential Restaurants to Savor in Savannah

"The Olde Pink House is Savannah’s elegant and quintessential Southern restaurant. Every dish, like cornbread fried oysters, crispy fried lobster, and she crab soup, falls squarely in the elevated comfort food category. The Georgian pink house, which dates from the 1770s, was home to Georgia’s first bank in the 1800s, before eventually becoming a restaurant in 1971. Over the years, owners have added Arches Bar on the southern side of the house and Planters Tavern, a one-table wine vault that can be reserved for special occasions. Run by executive chef Vincent Burns since 1997, the Olde Pink House has remained one of Savannah’s top picks for a nice night out." - Elizabeth Bowers
