"On Times Square SavannahBlue offers a dinner-only, contemporary northern take on soul food rooted in the Great Migration: scratch-made cornbread muffins, maple-glazed yams, and collard greens slow-simmered with smoked turkey tail lead into entrées like cornmeal-dredged fried catfish with candied sweet potatoes, shrimp and parmesan grits with Cajun-spiced shrimp, and red-wine-braised oxtail over cheddar risotto; with craft cocktails, refined décor, and a proper-attire requirement, the place elevates Detroit’s soul food tradition while keeping its roots." - Wendy Pramik
"SavannahBlue, which makes its classy home out of a moody second-floor dining room overlooking Detroit’s little-known Times Square, describes its cuisine as a “Northern take on Southern comfort food” and hospitality. The menu includes shrimp and grits, an Alabama chicken sandwich on brioche, and braised oxtail over risotto. Take note of the dress code." - Serena Maria Daniels
"This posh spot perched on the second floor of a building overlooking Times Square and the People Mover serves Northern takes on Southern cooking with options like pan-seared Cornish hen and Cajun-spiced shrimp and grits. Pair the meal warm crab dip and, if the occasion calls for it, a splurgy bottle of Champagne." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Operated by Ron Scott, J.D. Simpson, and Roger Yopp, SavannahBlue is described as a swanky soul-food restaurant downtown and is the nearby landmark to Willow; it was also included on the James Beard long list of nominees for Outstanding Restaurateur." - Serena Maria Daniels
