Viva La Niqua

4 out of 5 stars★★★★☆

We had a 7pm reservation and was texted that our table was ready. When we arrived, a party of 5 walked up ahead of us and asked for a table, followed another couple who walked in and both parties were seated before us. Another person checked on us before we were finally seated. Our server was Clint and he was absolutely amazing. Everything he suggested was great except for the NY strip. The steak was supposed to be medium well and was served to us rare. Clint handled the matter quickly and brought us back the same steak, but cooked. For $40, I believe we should have been given a new steak cooked the way it was supposed to be cooked, more than 3 stalks of asparagus, and one small scoop of mashed potatoes. The steak completely lost its original seasoning, and was brought back on a plane plate, despite the fact that we were still eating our sides. Very disappointed. The shrimp and scallop pasta was delicious and the peach cobbler and GA peach margarita is top-notch. For what we paid, I expected better treatment and food quality.

Beautiful place on the river. The place was clean but you can tell it was old from the beautiful bricks on the walls and floors. The She-Crab Soup was more reddish than I have had in the past but did have a lot of crab and not hot or anintense of a crab flavor but still worth the $7 cup. The crab cake was a big fat grilled single cake but it was full of crabmeat at and delicious. Would absolutely get agai. The Grouper Oscar was grilled perfectly, not overcooked. The pot a toes and Veggies were cooked perfectly too. The 'crabmeat' topper was more of a mush or foam topping but it did have a crabish flavor too. It was delicious. Ambiance is more of a white table cloth upscale dining experience. We had a bloody Mary at the rooftop bar upstairs while we waited for our table.

To have this as our last dinner in Savannah was disappointing. The meal started off well with crispy, toasty baguette served with a nice whipped butter and delicious blue cheese spread. The wine and cocktail we ordered were also very good. Unfortunately, it was downhill from there. Scallops were overcooked and rubbery, and the bacon part of that dish was just 2 pieces of rubbery bacon thrown on the side. Fried green tomatoes were bland. Mashed potatoes were ok. Oh well. Our waiter was very nice. The ambiance is just ok though. Parking is very tough!

We had a fantastic experience at The River House, and a big part of that was our server, JR. Even on one of their busiest weekends, he provided truly excellent service. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Being from Atlanta, you naturally become a bit of a foodie snob because the food scene is so strong there. I wasn’t sure how Savannah would compare—but WOW. This place might be one of Savannah’s best-kept secrets. The food was easily 5-star quality, and the service went above and beyond! I had a blueberry mojito that was incredibly refreshing and delicious. We started with the calamari and fried green tomatoes, and they were so good we immediately knew we were in for a great meal. For my entrée, I had the pecan bourbon salmon with sweet potatoes and collard greens—chef’s kiss. And you absolutely have to get the peach cobbler. It was phenomenal. We’re still talking about it the next day! We will definitely be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We didn't have any food ... but did swing into the bar to get some drinks. Service at the bar was excellent and friendly and the bartender made excellent drinks all around for each of us. The prices for the drinks were fair and the quality of choice for the various spirits was quite good. Couldn't find a single complaint about the service or the environment. Looks like it would be a nice place to enjoy a quite lunch or dinner, but if you just want a drink definitely to swing in and sit down for a few, just don't forget your ID 🙂
