Olde Pink House

A trip for us to Savannah without going to the Pink House would not be complete! It is some of the best food anywhere (and a good value too). We waited about 40 minutes so we could snag a table in the basement tavern (complete with a fireplace and piano player...the upstairs main dinning rooms take reservations). While we waited we sat at their brand new attached bar and watched Tim Tebow score the winning touchdown while enjoying their signature peach martini (when in Georgia...). The wait for the food was well worth it. For an appetizer I had the she-crab soup (really more of a chowder...it was excellent and finished with cracked pepper and a drizzle of sherry). For Ryan's entree he had the filet with shoestring onion rings (perfectly cooked, our only complaint was that the presentation wasn't very pretty, basically a piece of beef of a huge plain white plate...but the taste made up for it). I actually had two appetizers for my entree (which they were nice enough to put on one plate along with a lovely arugula salad)...I had a napoleon of fried green tomatoes and crab cakes along with shrimp and grits. Both were delicious. For dessert we had a trio of mini-cupcakes that were really good. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, so much so that we ended up staying a few more hours after dinner and had drinks sitting on the hearth of the fireplace next to the piano. Pink House is a definite must for anyone traveling to Savannah.
