Was there this past spring and ended up at the Old Pink House. Loved it- great food, great service, great atmosphere. Exactly what we had hoped to find- good southern food with a creative twist.

(my favortive place, just a little outside of savannah on the way to tybee, the seafood is amazing! they bring out one huge platter for the whole group to eat, the location is amazing as well.Fantastic.

Also on the waterfront in the historic district there is a great place to get pecan pies, and the turtles are amazing.

I found The Lady and Sons to be mediocre cafeteria style food catering to tourists and those who mistake quantity for quality. Seriously wayyyyyyyyy overhyped and disappointing.

goomba, I think you right on that one, I meant

Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room
107 West Jones St.
232-5997

instead of lady, don't know how I got that one wrong...

Great list! Thanks so much for the info. My friend who I will be visiting is new in town, but already found The Lady and Sons pretty bad, but loves the Tea House and the candy company. Can't wait to try out your other picks! Cheers from Los Angeles
