Jthomas Kitchen - Savannah

Nice little place. Service was wonderful, food was delicious but portion sizes were a bit small. The tables are WAY too close together, it was impossible to not hear every word of the next table's conversation. Overall a nice place, I'll definitely be back, just some things I would be happier if they changed. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

The atmosphere of the restaurant is charming, but unfortunately, the food left much to be desired. I ordered fried green tomatoes and the fresh catch of the day, which I believe was bass, accompanied by collard greens and red rice. For the first time in a long while, I ended up sending my food back as it simply didn't taste good. No one at our table was satisfied with their meal, and we genuinely wanted to enjoy it. The service was adequate, and the desserts displayed in the cases looked appealing, but the main courses fell flat. It’s possible we just chose the wrong restaurant while following a friend's recommendation; perhaps this place was confused with another steakhouse in the area. However, the slimy green tomatoes were undeniably unappealing, the collards had an off taste, and I couldn't even make out the flavor of the fish beneath all that. Additionally, pan-frying a ribeye felt like an odd decision. Why not serve it with a baked potato? It felt more like a philosophical choice than a culinary one.

We had our first night in Savannah planned with a reservation for 12 people, but the restaurant closed due to staffing issues. While I understand that things happen, it was disappointing that we weren't informed in advance. We had guests who traveled from San Francisco, Denver, and Dallas, as well as others who drove in from Jacksonville and Atlanta all on the same day. Overall, it was a rough start to our trip, and I don't think we'll give this place another chance.

I stopped by this restaurant on a whim, and I'm glad I did! The food was outstanding, and the portions were substantial. The crab soup was particularly delicious.
