Went back in the summer and it was a very nice experience. The ambiance is dark upscale elegant dining. The food was awesome! My favorite was the catfish tenders with the sauce and the cornbread. Will be back to try new items on until menu.

It was nice. This was for my birthday, but reservations were made. It wasn't crowded and the atmosphere was calm. Our food assistant was really nice and bubbly. When we ordered our appetizers they didn't take long to come out as well as our meals, nice and quick. Overall a nice place to dine if you're in the mood for soul food. @according2teau 👽🦄

Okay definitely recommend making a reservation. Also there is a dress code and you need to dress nice it’s not a casual place. When you call to make a reservation they will remind you of the dress code and take a credit card to hold the table. We tried to go last minute without a reservation and ended up just doing takeout. The food was still delicious and I’m glad we did. Fried chicken was perfect and not dry at all. High quality ingredients. Staff was super nice and helpful. Next time I’ll make a reservation.

Our server Brandon was amazing. He checked in with us frequently & was all around very sweet. There was a wait on the ox tails & he made sure to check in frequently on the status. The chef even came out & checked in. Meal was great. We ordered ox tail, greens, yams & crab dip. My only negative is I stopped in the bathroom on my way out & it was a wreck. No toilet paper in the stall. Paper towel all over the floor & counter. There was an employee check sheet stating the bathroom should be serviced ever 30 minutes & the last check that was marked was 2 hours prior.

We came into town and went to Savannah Blue based on the google reviews. We started with the cornbread, which tasted not so well mixed, nor baked all the way through, and topped with better butter. Next we shared the Warm Crab Dip and Catfish Fritters which were AMAZING! Best items on the menu. The chips for the Crab Dip are unique but definitely good. For our entrees, I had the Pan-seared Cornish Hen, very bland taste…no flavor what-so-ever. It was topped with crispy collard greens as a garnish and sat in a humus-type of mixture with absolutely no flavor and about 5 potatoes. Not only was there a lack of flavor but there was no vegetable other than the crispy collard green garnish. I was disappointed in the description that stated cabbage but none was on my plate. My friends ordered the Jumbalya and Shrimp and Grits, they both liked their dishes. As for the drinks, we ordered a Extra Dirty Martini that was not dirty at all and the olives were old (that drink was sent back), the Billie Holiday was really good, the Old Fashioned was really strong with a splash of Cinnamon, the SB Authentic Margarita with Blackberry was okay, however, the regular SB Authentic Margarita sat on our table un-drinkable. Lastly, the Pinot Grigio was bitter but the coffee was a hit for my friends. This was not worth the cost of the meal or the experience. The ambiance is cute; it is very dark. I was not a fun of the lack of light and the reading lights on the table. There was no live music and service was a bit slow. Our server was nice and answered all of questions. 2 stars for the cornbread, bland Cornish Hen, the undrinkable drinks, and the overall costs!

Awesome little place ! We didn’t have a reservation but were able to sit at the bar. The food was delicious. We got the hummus & pita which was just out of this world. Something about fried pita bread that makes everything Yumm Chicken wings were well cooked, crispy on the outside and juicy inside! They also brought us some cornbread which was melt in your mouth good

Great customer service. Monae did an Awesome job and was very engaging as our server. We liked the atmosphere, it's business casual dress code. The food was decent. I like the catfish fritters & the yams were on point. My friend's had the Snapper which was well seasoned & cooked. The risotto was undercooked & needs some improvements for the recipe. I had the fried chicken dinner, which was too salty to enjoy because of the salty batter & the fries were cold. I didn't eat my meal, but I'd come back for the catfish fritters & yams. I'd avoid the fried chicken meal it's not worth it.

I seriously don’t know how this restaurant have such a good rating! I have been to many restaurant who follows dress code but this one has detailed instruction what to wear and what not! Who don’t wear hoodie in winter!!! Apart from cookie ice cream with Vanilla, food were either too salty or bland! Their spinach were dipped in salt and not sure what that sweet potato was! I would have give 0 star, but giving 1 star just for the good service!

Great experience. The food was amazingggggg. The catfish was to die for! As well as the dip. Great ambiance perfect for family's, girls night or even date night. The piano inside made everything feel so elegant. The only constructive criticism is more communication by the bar area. Servers didn't know who should be serving who.

Amazing soul/southern food. Braised oxtail is highly recommended and the collard greens are done very well - cooked for a long time and seasoned well. Mac and cheese was very good but not the star. Not pictured, but the bread pudding was so good!! Recommend going at 4pm when they open so you don’t have to fight for a table. There are plenty of paid parking spots around the area.

I visited this evening with my girlfriend. The waitress was pleasant and knowledgeable. She made sure we were happy and explained items we asked about. The salmon was really small for the price and I was a little disappointed that I was forced to order my meal ala-cart which resulted in me spending $20 more. The drinks were delicious.

From New York and in town for two days & nights looked for restaurant with great food and friendly staff. Southern Taste and experience was great. Concierge accommodated me without having a reservation and her shoes & attire was really lovely. Looking for great southern food and good time please check this place out. You will 💯% love that you did

My birthday Dinner was AMAZING!!! JOSH!!!! Best server I’ve had in my 30 years! He really made my experience awesome! We ordered the Catfish Plate, braised oxtail, and Red Snapper! Everything was so delicious we were given a bowl of black eye peas on the house it was the only thing we did not like literally everything else was plate licking delicious! The GREENS were my fav item! Thank you for this experience it was great!

I love, love, love this place. This is my new favorite spot. I literally Google places and try them out. So glad I came across this place. On the weekends, a reservation is much needed, however I drove from Toledo to check this out and they graciously accommodated me. I will be making a reservation next time! I don’t want to miss out on the super cool vibe, the amazingly delicious food and the outstanding service! I never said, “where is our waitress?!” She was professional, friendly and on top of things! Did I say I love this place :-)

Pretty good atmosphere. Food is good for the most part. Crab dip with the wonton chips were amazing. Fried catfish were very crispy and tasty. I think the Mac and Cheese could be better though. Overall, I'd come again.

When I first read about the restaurant, I was ecstatic. I immediately told my mom we would have to try this place during our visit to Motor City. When I saw that there was a dress code, I was even more impressed. I've never been to a "classy" soul food restaurant. My mom and I dressed to the gods for our dinner. First, the parking is horrendous despite being in a "dead city." No offense, but Detroit is not a bustling city. Some parts are active, but they are only active up until a certain point in the day. We found a garage across the street from the restaurant. However, it is secluded, and there's no elevator from the restaurant side. You'd have to walk around the building about a block. This would be fine in a regular city, but you do not want to walk around Detroit at night alone. When we walk to the restaurant, an entire group stares at us like we're from outer space. We didn't get the memo that the dress code rule was not enforced. These folks were dressed in extremely casual clothes. When we entered the lobby, it smelled like sewage. We arrived upstairs and were placed in a center booth/table. Our waiter was atrocious. He seemed like he didn't want to be at work. It took him 20 minutes to take our drink orders. It then took him 30 minutes to tell us that the alcoholic beverages we requested were no longer available. Keep in mind that it was late, and there weren't many people in the restaurant. When he took our dinner orders, it took 2 hours for us to receive our food. When we finally received our dinner, my mom's order was acceptable. But mine was cold. I played it safe and ordered chicken. The chicken was cold, and it tasted like the fried chicken steak from Denny’s. I was so disgusted I asked for the check. The bill was over $150.00. I was forced to give the waiter a $20 tip based on their gratuity policy. It was so unnecessary. This place sucks. The food, service, and ambiance are not worth the price. The owners should be ashamed and need to try again. I am so disappointed as I wanted to support myself in this endeavor. However, it proved to be a horrible night. Do not waste your time at this restaurant.

I had high expectations and quickly that was proved wrong. The drinks took forever and did not come at same time for each guest. Then when drink finally arrived, the inside of glass was very dirty as if it was never cleaned. Overall the food was good but my snapper was over cooked, fried hard and hard to eat using a butter knife. Oxtails were tasty and tender but very fatty, some fat could be trimmed. I would like to try other items on menu for carryout only. The location and space is nice with basic decor not matching the upscale category. Also i taken by surprise when asked by the doorman to cover up since my low cut tshirt showed too much cleavage yet there were others wearing revealing tops inside so beware.

Grilled Peach Desert Must make reservations. Park behind restaurant $10 on a Sunday afternoon. Food is good. I had braised oxtails. June 13, 2021. It's a nice atmosphere.

I greatly enjoyed my dining experience at SavannahBlue. The food was great, music was lovely as well. Drinks were made just right. I went out to eat with friends, but would also definitely recommend for a date night. Regardless of where you are seated, the setting is intimate.

We came here our first time visiting Detroit bc a friend recommended it and we were only in town 1 night. We were not disappointed! My husband is still talking about the food days later. He ordered the cornmeal fried perch dinner with candied sweet potatoes and greens. We shared a side of Macaroni and cheese, crab dip, and perch fritters. He LOVED the sweet potatoes and greens, but all was so good. I ordered a Smokey Robinson cocktail, yum! The ambience and music was on point!!!!!

So very tasty meal at Savannah Blue. Our two cocktails were new variations that I loved, the Cherry Smash was Henny VSOP, Cointreau and Lemon - so good and the Gold Rush arrived with a smoking cinnamon stick and was Four Roses, Honey and Lemon, a perfect mix. The crab dip in the small cast iron skillet used excellent ingredients, different cheeses and fresh made chips. I had the shrimp and grits made with andouille and a shitake mushroom gravy, and it had just enough of a kick to it and perfect shrimp. My wife's sandwich has perfectly cooked chicken and excellent toppings. Those fries seemed to have a smoked salt or pepper on them really setting them apart. The 2 desserts were amazing, one a malva pudding and the the other a grilled peach that I couldn't stop eating it and the malted milk crumble. I'd eat here again in a heartbeat.

Great food! Their oxtails and risotto is delicious! The waitstaff is very attentive and polite. The atmosphere is very relaxing. Looking forward to my next visit.

SavannahBlue never disappoints! Ambiance, great food, and service. Repeat customers and so glad they survived through the pandemic!

Our server ruined our experience. I can't say it's management because I witnessed other tables getting better service. He seemed very professional at first but quickly started forgetting everything we asked for. He seemed to only have 2 or 3 tables. I was a party of two. Aside from his service, the food tasted really good. I had the shrimp and grits, which I do recommend. My friend had the red snapper which he rates a 4 out of 5. I literally inhaled the little cornbread muffins.

This 1930s looking twist of a restaurant was great!! Food was excellent and the service was good. It's a good place to go on a date as well. Loved the atmosphere as well. Oh and the food. Did I mention that it was excellent.

Outstanding...Wifey picked this spot for her BDAY we will be going back soon.

Very pleasant experience. Not too crowded, but still lively. Focused, not limited menu. Tried the salmon and the red snapper, both which were done perfectly. Good selection at the bar. Recommend parking in the back.

The place was nice and the staff was nice as well. The food was good as well...tried the crab dip and we all fell in like with it. I myself had the shrimp and grits and I loved it.

The restaurant is very warm and welcoming. Beautiful decor. Every plate was incredible. Roasted cauliflower was out of this world. Beefsteak tomato app on point. Do yourself a favor and add shrimp.

I recently visited Savannah Blue for the first time with my husband to celebrate our anniversary. Despite receiving high recommendations, our experience was underwhelming. Upon arrival, we paid $10 for parking in the back lot designated for the restaurant, but there were no clear directions to the front entrance. We accidentally walked into another establishment called the Willow before eventually finding our way up two flights of stairs to Savannah Blue. After being seated, we waited ten minutes without any service or even a menu. Eventually, a server arrived with empty glasses and then disappeared, only for the bartender to bring us water with the assurance that our server would be with us shortly. Despite seeing other staff members standing around, we tried to give them the benefit of the doubt that it was a busy holiday weekend and they were understaffed. Once we finally received a QR code to access the menu, we ordered two cocktails and the crab dip. While my drink was great, my husband was served a drink he didn't ask for and was charged an additional $2 for it to be served "neat." The crab dip was disappointing as well, tasting more like tuna than crab. While the wonton chips were enjoyable, the dish didn't live up to its cost for the quality of the ingredients. For our entrees, I ordered the braised oxtails and my husband ordered the fried ribs. Unfortunately, both dishes were underwhelming. The oxtails lacked flavor and tasted more like a bland pot roast, while the ribs were dry and nearly meatless. Overall, our experience at Savannah Blue fell short of our expectations. After paying the bill, we decided to go to Bucharest for a more enjoyable dining experience.

Delicious food, phenomenal drinks, and great service. This stylish and soulful restaurant and bar is not to be missed! Try the roasted cauliflower, it’s not pictured because it was too tasty to wait for a photo op.

We had an awesome Valentine experience. The service was top notch, table ready within minutes, and plenty of cozy seating. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. My drink was delightful. Food was amazing with nice portions. We shall return!

Everything was GREAT, from the service to the food. Their greens were so tender and clean I'll definitely be back! I would love to have the same server again.

5/5! Best black owned restaurant in Detroit! I felt welcomed from the moment I was greeted at the door. The music the lights the setting of the restaurant was a vibe! And what a bonus to see my beautiful black brothers and sisters dining in sophistication! The menu is well thought out with modern flare on homestyle cuisine. Everything was delicious and filling. The bar is also well stocked, and did I mention the bathrooms are clean! The staff took proper care of all the tables, the kitchen did a wonderful job at preparing fresh/hot food. Great to dine alone (as I do), as a couple or with friends! Well done Savanna Blue👍🏾

This place is really nice the ambiance and food was everything. Will definitely be coming back soon. Oh and did I forget to mention it's black owned great establishment savanna blue

The catfish dinner was delicious! The sweet potatoes were amazing! And the greens were delicious! The Mac and cheese was served a bit cold and was just okay. The kale Caesar salad was amazing, as well as the cauliflower shareable. We had a great time, and the ambience was perfect for my birthday with my husband.

My husband & I came here for dinner on May14 celebrating our wedding anniversary and my I say the food was amazing. The server was very nice. Great atmosphere and will most definitely return.

I spent my birthday here, and I couldn't have been happier. The ambiance, the staff, the patrons and oh the food was delicious. I just wish my catfish was fried a little harder. Other than perfect! By the way the owner came out and introduced himself and people were they with everything. A major plus for me. I wish that I could remember our waitress name, but I can't. A light skinned, sweetheart that wore glasses. Very polite!

The ambiance is very nice. It reminds me of a jazz club. We ordered the red snapper, 1/2 fried bird, maple yams, and collard greens. The red snapper is served over red arborio rice cooked in a white wine tomato broth with andouille sausage. The half chicken is served w/ hot honey sauce. The greens were good, but had lots of stalks. The maple yams are the 💣. The sides are large and made to be shared, so beware!
