The Grey · Historic District
Mashama Bailey's 1938 Greyhound Bus Terminal restoration. 2019 James Beard Best Chef Southeast, 2022 Outstanding Chef. First Black woman to win. African influences woven through Southern traditions; reservations book months out.
Elizabeth's on 37th · Starland District
A Victorian mansion turned white-tablecloth institution. Chef Kelly Yambor's contemporary refinement on Savannah classics for 40+ years.
Cotton & Rye · Starland District
Midtown gastropub in a converted 1960s bank building. Elevated Southern comfort. The burger is a classic; the charred octopus and duck confit are the dinner-menu tells.
1540 Room · Historic District
The 1540 Room is the dining room inside The DeSoto hotel on Liberty Street. Savannah Magazine's 2025 reader survey named it the city's fine dining pick. Hotel dining listings and reservation platforms both show the room operating on a current, regularly updated schedule.
Common Thread · Thomas Square
Common Thread occupies a restored house on East 37th Street. Savannah Magazine's 2025 reader survey placed it alongside the 1540 Room in the fine dining category, the same year it was also named among the city's newer restaurants. The restaurant's own site posts current hours and stays active into 2026.
