Rhett

I MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT RECOMMEND ORDERING ANYTHING THATS FRIED FROM THIS RESTAURANT but Before I get into the NOT so good part of things let me first thank the hostess and waiter for being so welcoming, pleasant and kind. HOWEVER, the food was without a doubt over done (burnt) when asked to have it redone the manager said it will come out the same as before, nonetheless I “begged” them to turn the temperature done on their fryer and try to not over cook it as it was the only thing on the menu I wanted to try in a very nice tone. They re did it with the manger serving it with a not so pleasant look on her face again the chicken was burnt which I do not understand why it has to be burnt if the temperature and oil is being monitored. Nonetheless I just said thank you in an effort to lighten the mood and tried to pull the crust off and had some of it because I was already there the oil did not taste fresh either like it was being used all day or all week. The esthetic of the restaurant was really nice I just really did not enjoy that meal which should have been a simple one to prepare and I had to really express that. The mimosa was very refreshing I enjoyed that and I liked that they offered buttonless mimosas.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Perfect Sunday Brunch at RHETT on River Street My wife and I had the pleasure of enjoying brunch at RHETT in Savannah, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. Nestled right on River Street, RHETT offers a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that made our Sunday morning feel extra special. She ordered the loaded grits bowl, and I went with the shrimp and grits—both dishes were spot-on. The portions were just right: satisfying without being overwhelming, and beautifully plated. The flavors were rich and comforting, with just the right balance of Southern soul and upscale finesse. Yes, the prices are a bit on the higher side, but that’s expected given the prime location in Savannah’s tourist zone. Honestly, the quality of the food and the ambiance made it well worth it. What really stood out was how peaceful it was for a Sunday brunch—no long waits.

I was visiting for just one night and choose to walk here. Very beautiful but the place was empty at 8 on a Sunday. Could be blamed on my bad hearing but when I was offered distilled water, I wasn't anticipating 9.00 for that. My very saucy pasta came and I ask for a little bread, 4.00 was added to my bill for a slice of bread with butter... The lobster pasta had 5 or 6 bits of lobster claw/ peices.. the sauce was nice and the pasta cooked perfectly. The waitress had a very strong accent that was hard for me to understand. When I questioned the 4.00 slice of bread, they did take it off my bill. I too my souvenir 9.00 glass bottle of water with me.

We just visited the Rhett for the first time this past weekend, and WOW, they did not disappoint. We went for brunch around Noon and were surprised it wasn't packed, considering it was the July 4th weekend. We were seated at the bar immediately, and the bartender was a pleasure to work with. He made us some fantastic drinks and kept our water glasses filled. The food itself was splendid! I had the chicken and waffles while my wife had the loaded grits bowl. Please do yourself a favor and TRY IT! The restaurant itself is gorgeous and has been decorated classily. They had several parties of more than 6, so they can certainly accommodate your family brunch needs. Next time you're down by River Street, stop by.

Amazing experience. Been here before years ago and so happy they are still here…. Atmosphere is amazing and service is first class… India is so sweet. I had the crab Benedict..

This was my first time having Rhett and I must say everything about my visit from the food, service, and environment was amazing. I had their shrimp and grits and it was delicious! The grits were creamy and at the right consistency top with shrimp, sausages, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Definitely try it if you’re looking for a good shrimp and grits!

The food was great! I probably wouldn’t pay those prices again but it was convenient being in the hotel if you don’t have the energy to go out. The servers were nice and and it wasn’t too noisy

Tonin is super nice and attentive with great recommendations! The shrimp and grits had a good portion of fresh shrimp with creamy grits and the grouper was seared perfectly. The oysters were so fresh and also tasty. The calamari breading was bit salty but still flavorful. I’d return for the shrimp and grits alone. Would definitely want to try more items on the menu!

Asmara was the best server .....He was attentive, fast service , and just amazing restaurant

We had an amazing experience at Rhett thanks to our server Taylor. She was quick, made the best latte, and was very attentive. we look forward to coming again soon.

Oriol was amazing and made our experience wonderful! Food was great and service was exceptional. Highly recommend the Rhett if your in the area

My family of 7 came in with a reservation and was met with our table ready immediately. The interior is bright & not too noisy. The drinks and food were delicious. We have absolutely no complaints! I had the chicken & waffles - SO yummy. Service was quick and efficient. Thank you, Taylor, for an amazing dining experience!

This restaurant is a beautiful restaurant that is right on River Street just across the way from the JW Marriott. Should you have time after eating here, I recommend you walk across to the hotel and enjoy the dinosaur exhibit they have inside the lobby of their hotel. My meal here was phenomenal! Truly a taste of southern comfort cooking. I could not have been happier with my collard greens and fried chicken. Before coming here to Savannah, I had asked friends for suggestions on good restaurants to eat and many recommended coming here. I was not disappointed. The service was amazing, with our Server being very professional and knowledgeable of the specials of the day, and of the menu. She was also very good with suggestions on bottles of wine to enjoy with our meal. Above all, I was so impressed with how attentive the server and the rest of the staff were towards my son, making sure he had a high chair, he was happy with his meal, and all around just being very thoughtful in taking care of our needs. Wonderful restaurant to enjoy and come to when visiting Savannah, Georgia.

Service was slow and had to ask a couple of times to bring condiments, more water...though the staff was friendly. We chose to sit outside so as to enjoy the weather and to be able to hear one another talk. It was incredibly loud inside...it was especially crowded but still very loud. We ordered chicken and waffles, a smash burger and a salad. All of the entrees were okay but nothing really blew us away.

We came here for dinner while in town! The restaurant was Americana/seafood themed. We got there shortly after they opened for dinner and were able to be seated right away. In the beginning of our time there, our service was great! Throughout our time and after getting our meal, we saw less and less of our server or anyone that was able to assist. When our server was around, they were helpful and attentive! Unfortunately they stopped checking in on us once we got our food, and only came back to hand us the bill. The food was okay. None of us were raving about the food, it was decent but not the best we've ever had. The food temperature was also a bit off, nothing tasted fresh, a lot of the items felt as if it had been sitting under a heat lamp. We had a bit of sticker shock when the bill was placed in front of us, over $200 for a family of four! We didn't feel like the food (or service) was worth the price we paid. I don't think I would go out of my way to come back. If someone was looking for a seafood restaurant I'd maybe recommend it.

I walked in through the hotel and found the restaurant challenging to find. You need to take the elevator to G level. I found that there is a separate entrance on the river level. Everything was fine, but it didn't stand out to me. I had a Caesar salad and crab risotto, but I didn't love the crab dish and ended up hungry later. The service was good.

This place is great. Location is East to find, the decor is adorable. The staff was so welcoming and helpful. It was my birthday they gave me a cute breakfast waffle. Everything was fast, fresh, flavorful. Loved it

I traveled to Savannah to attend a wedding. I enjoyed the oysters, particularly the raw market-fresh ones that are delivered daily from two distinct locations. Additionally, I had the Harper oysters, which were prepared with garlic, butter, parsley, and lemon, though they were a bit salty for my taste. I also ordered the she crab soup, which was made with blue crab and had a delightful, light flavor. Lastly, I ordered a side of macaroni and cheese, with white cheddar and bread crumbs. Overall a nice evening and place to dine.

Came here for brunch on a Sunday and I'm glad the girls and I made a RSVP online before coming. This place was packed! It was really beautiful inside and the food I had was exquisite. I ate the Salmon Eggs Benedict.

Solid 4 stars for a great evening. Came with a reservation for dinner and the food was delicious. It had a modern atmosphere to it and service was friendly and timely. 1. She Crab Soup - Tasty and delicious with a good portion 2. King Crab Legs - Cut for you which was nice and tasted fresh 3. Pasta special - Came with tomato, broccoli rab, lobster and shrimp. Very tasty! 4. Sundae - Lots of whip cream but good nonetheless 5. Banana pudding - Recommended and loads of flavor here. Creamy with crumbs on top. Overall a great evening and I recommend coming here at least once!

During my last weekend trip to Savannah, I ended up eating here twice - once for dinner, once for breakfast. Both were fabulous! At dinner, we started with the cheddar drop biscuits which came in a serving of four (one for each of us). We promptly ordered another round of those because they were so freakin good. The strawberry jam with the country ham mousse?? Phenomenal. I had the grouper which was good, but I've had some outstanding grouper in Charleston so I would probably pick something different for a future dinner order. Everyone was pretty happy with their meals though, and the drinks were good as well. For breakfast, only two of us made it out since we were split amongst a couple of hotels with ours being closer to Rhett. My friend ordered banana bread as a starter which was okay, but it was a tad on the dry side. I'd probably hold off, but I also normally have fancy banana bread with other stuff that provides moisture (like rum, always rum). I had the grits bowl though and it was delicious. There is a grits bowl that I used to get at my local farmers market that is no longer offered and this brought back fond memories of that meal. Service was consistently good, and the restaurant has a nice vibe to it. I would definitely recommend this to people visiting and would go back myself in the future.

Taylor was our delightful server this morning! She was so kind and thoughtful. We appreciated her attention to detail. I ordered the grit bowl and added an extra egg. It was delicious in every way. Creamy, smooth, chunks of meat and cherry tomatoes. Heaven in a bowl. My sunny side up eggs were perfection. Food came out quick. The manager even came over to ask how everything was. He was so sweet. My friend got the biscuits and sausage which was divine. The biscuits a were light and fluffy-great texture. Super easy spot to find with help because Google did not give accurate directions. You have to go down the stairs on the left and walk down to the entrance.

Stopped in for dinner near the river. To start this place is beautiful. So modern industrial and clean. The copper adds a nice tough against the cognac couch and blue high ceilings . I ordered the salmon with sweet potato grit cake and braised kale. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the kale had nice flavor and char. The sweet potato grit cake reminded me of cornbread, but it wasn't sweet. For dessert, my waitress recommended the Cardamom cinnamon beignets. They come with two dipping sauces coffee dulce de leche and nutella ganache. These were phenomenal. Super light and fluffy and perfectly sweet. Overall, the staff is nice. My waitress was super sweet. It's located inside the hotel near the river on the ground level, which is perfect and the food is delicious. I'm so happy I stopped here. Next time, I'll have to do brunch that seems to be popular.

We had the most memorable Christmas Eve dinner experience. We started out with amazing fresh oysters, the She Crab soup, blue crab risotto and THE BOMB was the Pork Tenderloin entree which was to die for. Dessert was fabulous -- get the Banana Pudding! Our server, Lindsey was absolutely delightful. We had the best Christmas Eve. Thanks to the team at Rhett and the amazing food and service.

It was a bit difficult to find this place when entering from the hotel side of the building. Once we found it, an outdoor entrance on the back side is the way to go. The Benedict was amazing! Everyone at our table loved the food. The service was slow but they seemed understaffed. The mimosas were also good. Great spot to walk along the river after.

This place seems like the type of restaurant no one would ever go to twice. She crab soup tasted strongly of old bay/curry. Drop biscuits were more like a dense hush puppy consistency and had a big glob of ham mousse on them, so we couldn't eat them. Calamari was largely tentacles rather than rings and most of the plate was onions and peppers; aioli tasted like it was just mayo. Husband liked the fried chicken, and I liked my grouper entree, but it was not enough to redeem them for the $60 worth of disgusting appetizers. Don't go here.

Wonderful breakfast, I had the omelette with fresh salad, all ingredients fresh and tasty! Service is amazing, Asmara and team were very attentive and my latte was delicious! I will be back.

Great stop for breakfast. Food: On point. Fried green tomato and eggs Benedict were worth ordering again. Service: fabulous. Didn't feel touristy. Genuine service. Clean and cute rustic feel.

We visited Savannah in September and had dinner at Rhett's on our first night. We made a reservation for that Wednesday evening, but didn't need it. The restaurant wasn't busy, just a few tables occupied. We were greeted and seated right away. The space had a cozy and romantic vibe. Our server was phenomenal. She warned us that they were understaffed and there might be some wait. We appreciated the warning and she was right, there was indeed a wait in between courses. We ordered the following: Get Up & Go $16 Market oysters (half dozen) $21 Chilled king crab Old Bay fries $9 She crab soup $16 Rhett Caesar $15 Grouper $38 The Get Up & Go is their version of the espresso martini, but with cold brew. It was good and I'm glad I tried it, but I would have preferred it with real espresso. Rhett's does serve espresso, but the cocktail comes with a premade mix (I asked). The oysters and chilled king crab legs were fresh and tasty. Great starters. I love seasoned fries and the Old Bay fries hit the spot for me. The she crab soup was creamy and seasoned well. The Rhett caesar was a delicious twist to the classic caesar salad. The grits croutons and fried okra were fantastic additions to the salad. The grouper came with field pea succotash, country ham salad, and tomato vinaigrette. I enjoyed the flavor and different textures. Initially, we were fine with the wait and it was too late to search for a different restaurant. Despite not being in a hurry, we tried to be patient, but the meal took a long time. I think we spent nearly two hours there. Exhausted from traveling coast to coast, we were eager to turn in. Towards the end of our meal, our server disappeared for a while and my husband had to flag someone down to get the check. We really enjoyed the food and would definitely return when we're back in Savannah. I just hope they're fully staffed now.

I visited Rhett with a bachelorette group a few weeks ago and we had the BEST experience. Our server, Ximena, was SO accommodating to our group and gave great service. I ordered the steak frites and it was amazing. The aioli with the fries.. to die for. Highly recommend!

Lovely food, service, and ambiance. It's not often you find that combination. Had breakfast here twice. The staff are genuinely friendly and the food is fantastic. And quick service! Beautifully furnished and decorated space. Also had a drink there in the evening, they had live music that really fit the mood.

1st time visitor Located in the lobby of hotel Appear popular spot for bachelorette parties / date night Indoor and outdoor dining available Dim setting so can be hard to read the menu Seated immediately but no one came to our table until 15 minutes or later Service was slow and appear short handed The server was not to familiar with all the types of beer but was kind and friendly and did best to check in Salmon carpaccio was ok - served room temperature and the devil egg was more pieces of cooked egg yolk and not enough toast points for the amount of salmon Probably wouldn't return, wasn't impressed with the service, food quality, and overall experience lacked organization and welcoming type of environment

Stopped by Rhett whilst on a food tour and we had the she-crab soup at the bar. It was delicious, creamy, and had lots of lump crab in it. The ambiance is beautiful and modern. Fun drinks and mimosa flavors. Thanks for being a memorable stop on the tour :)

For breakfast Rhett obviously gives a damn. With diverse, but not overwhelming choices, they create a welcome space to start the day. You can probably end it there too, but this is a breakfast review. Coffee was ample and piping, service was efficient and friendly, and food was tasty and filling. The country breakfast had all the staples, with egg over medium done correctly. The gravy accompanying the biscuit was a welcomed surprise as well. I nearly picked the blueberry pancakes, but thought I should probably get something more balanced (actually I was worried to get non-real maple syrup). The river-level location makes it feel less like it's the bottom floor of a hotel, and it's a nice close spot off the ferry. I'll return if I get a chance.

We came here for an early dinner on a Sunday night. We made reservations, but I didn't think we needed it. They were very accommodating as well. We enjoyed a selection of oysters, and I got the special which was a sea bass. The interior is definitely a bit more classy, and the prices definitely reflected that. So was it worth it? I think as a vacation spot and sort of a splurge absolutely. I think it was overpriced, but the preparation and flavors were there. We also got the ceviche and for the night it was made with grouper. It was fresh, there wasn't any fishy smell to it. I enjoyed the cracker it was served on as well. Overall, this place had some kids but it was early and definitely and there was a lot of seating inside. The service was great and we had no problem in that area.

Had a very tasty dinner tonight at Rhett. We are staying in the hotel so it's great to have a high quality dining option right here! For apps we did deviled eggs and the biscuits both were very good. I had the she crab soup and it was delicious- one of my favorite dishes! And my dad had the fried chicken which was also very good. I was impressed with the food! The server was also friendly but I only took off a star because it took around a half hour to get the check after our meal. But overall we were not in a rush and we enjoyed the food and ambiance in the meantime!

The Rhett was amazing! The mussels I had for dinner were great, probably the best mussels I've had. Spicy and tasty with a large batch of fries. We went on a Friday night for dinner- inside the Alida Hotel

Read some great reviews about this place so we decided to go here for brunch on our last day in Savannah. We made a reservation on Resy for a patio table. We ended up calling an adding 2 more. I was a bit worried because it said if you had to cancel it was $15 per person, luckily we didn't have to worry about that but it would be a hefty charge had we missed our reservation window! Outdoor seating was great and our server was excellent (wish I would have written his name down...maybe Daniel?). Service was prompt and I loved the first breakfast which was perfectly creamy and the egg was perfection. Had to add S&P and hot sauce to ramp up the flavor but that wasn't a deal breaker. I also had the house coffee and a Bloody Mary both were excellent. It was odd that the toast doesn't come with any condiments, very dry. All in all great atmosphere and brunch was tasty!

In town for my husbands business trip and decided to dine here and enjoy a brunch and a cappuccino! It was delicious! Asmara went above and beyond to make sure my experience was a great one! Will definitely recommend and come back.

I ordered the she crab soup and the mushroom risotto. I enjoyed both. The risotto was a large portion. I shared half a dozen oysters and the ceviche, and I also had a sample of the bass (which was one of the specials at the time). Staff was friendly.

Great Christmas dinner at Rhett tonight. Service was excellent. Food was great. We really appreciated how dog friendly they were on the patio!

Great service, thank you Oriol! Grits were delicious and the decor is great. It was a nice lively spot to work and eat.

Love, love, love this restaurant. Great location right at top of the River St. Amazing cocktails. Fabulous atmosphere. Adrian our server was wonderful.

We were vacationing in HHI and decided to escape to Savannah for the afternoon and dinner out. Reservations are available and I recommend that you make them. Rhett sits "below" the main street but one step above the riverwalk area so if you sit outside you have a great view for people watching without it being loud or congested. We opted to try several small plates rather than ordering dinner meals and that was a great move because it allowed us to try 3 of the best dishes we ate during our entire week of vacation! And we were more than full afterwards (there were 2 of us). The ceviche is nothing like we'd seen or eaten before but it was phenomenal! It was in a tangy coconut milk base with the fish of the day, cilantro, red onions and rice "crackers". It was truly one of the best dishes I've had in a while. We had fried calamari which also included onions and banana peppers which was such a surprisingly good touch. It was a healthy portion and perfectly cooked with the right amount of light batter. Last were the cheddar biscuits which came with a ham mousse and strawberry jam - absolutely delicious flavor profile! Like I said, it was more than enough food for the 2 of us. We had The Pixie and the Usual Fools to drink. They both packed a punch, but in the best way possible. Another unique blend of flavors in both. Service was so attentive and our food came out really quickly, leaving us extra time to stroll the area. I can't recommend this place enough! Rhett is definitely a place to put on your dining list if you are in the area. It was well worth the drive from Hilton Head.

Rhett is a solid choice for a nice dinner by the river, not on the river but one block up from the riverfront. It was the only top Yelp rated restaurant on the riverfront where we were able to make a reservation for a large party without paying private dining fees or having to reserve a set menu in advance. The space is pretty with high ceilings - although a bit hidden/not good signage from the Hotel Alido in which it's located (it's downstairs - go in the lobby of the hotel then down an elevator, or walk down the street towards the river and then enter from down below the hotel). I hosted a dinner for 20 people last night and everyone enjoyed their dinners. I can only speak to the items I had: Hush puppies with honey butter - 5/5 (best hush puppies I've ever had - light and not greasy at all) Cheddar drop biscuits - 4/5 (biscuits cut in half with a couple slices of bacon inside) Crispy calamari - 4/5 BBQ octopus - 4/5 Rhett Caesar salad - 5/5 - this was really delicious and three of us split the three wedges of romaine topped with a yummy caesar dressing, grated cheese, and some amazing crumble on top Grouper with crab rice - 4/5 French fries - 4/5 (they didn't have Old Bay fries but these fries were very solid) Cardamom Cinnamon Beignets with chocolate sauce and caramel sauce - 5*/5 - hands down the best item of the night!

Let's start with the good. Cool location, interesting decor, very good service. Unfortunately, the food is just not that good. We started with the hush puppies, which tasted as if they were purchased in the frozen section of supermarket. I had the smash burger, which was just plain bad. Literally not on the same level as 5 Guys or even Red Robbin. $24 for a burger that couldn't stack up to Shake Shack is just criminal. My wife had the shrimp and grits, which she enjoyed. So, not all bad. However, just not worth going to.

Awesome service and food ! Worthy of a return visit !! Love the hospitality! Southern breakfasts that will carry you through the day.

Wonderful Christmas Eve experience at Rhett! Biscuits and Gravy and FGT BLT sandwich were so good and Ibrahim was wonderful and took the best care of us. Will definitely be back!!!

The BEST Smoked Salmon Benedict! Vanilla latte was delicious! Right on the cobblestone road.

My family and I had breakfast at Rhett's and it was a fabulous experience. The food was AMAZING! We are southern and was not sure if we should try the grits. Adrian our server guided us in all delicious directions from grits to banana bread to smash burgers. YUM! Since I mentioned Adrian our server his quality of service was second to none. As we checked out this morning we revisited Rhett's with two objectives great food and Adrian's great service. We got great food x 8 but we did not get Adrian this time. We'll be back!

Nice ambiance and beautiful restaurant but food was mediocre and overpriced for the taste/quality. We spent $85 for two kids meals, a salad with chicken and a burger with fries. Fries were cold, burger was their version of a "Big Mac" and meat quality didn't seem great (lots of bites of grizzle/fat). We had our children with us and felt like we were a bother to the staff (minus the bartender taking our order who was kind to us). Cute place but not worth the price, in my opinion.

We went for the Christmas Day Brunch. We had a reservation and we were seated right away. The food was so good! My favorites were the make your own BLT station and the fried chicken & waffles station!! The staff were constantly replenishing buffet stations so the food was always fresh. We wished they had some sort of pastries like croissants or maybe even bagels but overall it was a great experience!

Rhett is a great place along the river to grab a drink. The restaurant is part of a hotel and it's beautiful inside. We also had banana pudding, which was pretty good. Overall, it was a good experience. It would've been a little better if the bartender interacted more.

Boozy brunch! My favorite time of day. The name Rhett lured me in. We wanted Southern Savannah food, and the name Rhett just oozed southern. Started with a Bloody Mary recommendation of the bartender. (They have several options). I ordered the fried chicken sandwich- this is not normal for me- But it sounded so delicious. And it was!!!! Very beautiful interior- with outdoor seating. If you don't take my advice to eat here- "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" (couldn't help myself!)

I'll keep it short and sweet. Burger was ok. They forgot the bacon. Bottom bun was stale. Should have got an actual entree. The rest of my party liked the food. Crab bisque was tasty. Hush puppies were really good. Main reason for the dropped star is not giving daddy the bacon.

We ate outside with our dogs. Great table for it! They brought out ice water for us and a dish for the dogs. The cheddar biscuit with the ham purée and the splash of ham was the best menu item that we tried. The calamari was greasy and limp. The ceviche was presented with fried rice crackers, but was a bit of a taste fail, with a dominating citrus/orange/tangerine flavor that detracted from the dish. The snapper, subbing for the sea bass was delicious. Great bar with great hard-to-find bourbons like Castle & Key. Beer list is respectable too. Service was five star. So was the bar. Hit and miss dishes, plus $16 parking fee, were a star down. I'd eat here again. Just hope that the kitchen team pays more attention to the basics in the dishes coming out.

We had a late breakfast at Rhett. It was very good-fresh ingredients, hot, made to order and delicious. Service was good, our waiter was attentive and friendly. We had a window seat looking out to the side street. Well done
