The Fat Radish

Just by passing by this place we knew that we have to come back for brunch. The place looks beautiful, bright and welcoming. Nice verity of dishes including vegan options. I loved their plates and cups, nice eye for every little detail. The food was fresh and good, service was nice and polite. Atmosphere was great.

Stopped in for dinner as we love to try new places. We ordered the pimento cheese app for $9 (it was fantastic!!), fried chicken for $20, two sides at $10 each, my wife had a glass of wine for $9, and we both ordered sweet tea at $5 each. We we're both shocked at the price for tea but it is what it is. What they failed to mention was the tea was $5 PER GLASS OF TEA. The menu doesn't mention this nor did our waitress. As the glass got low she would ask "you you like another tea?" Sure! We received our bill and are shocked to see that we racked up $25 IN SWEET TEA!! We paid more for tea tonight than my wife paid for wine!! We aren't talking fancy teas and such....a simple glass of sweet tea that is $3 with unlimited refills at EVERY other restaurant in Savannah. We asked the waitress about it and she said sorry she didn't mention it and that she would have her manager adjust it. Swipes my card for the full amount, never even approaches anyone else after leaving the table, and brings the card and receipt back to us. I said "did you have your manager adjust this?" and she walked away from our table and never even turned around or acknowledged that I had asked a question. We will not be back. We paid more for tea for two adults than we did the main entree and wine!

Visited w friends last week. Located at corner MLK & W Congress St. Typical Savannah parking. Lucked out, got spot near door on 2nd circle of block. Repurposed, Old District bldg. High ceilings, airy, big windows. Very pleasant decor and ambience. Promptly greeted. Server was very pleasant. Was quickly on board w drinks and giving us time to chat & review menu. Had a Sazerac on the Beach as cocktail. Used pineapple rum instead of rye or bourbon. Great take on old New Orleans classic. Highly recommended. Menu was fun, see photos. Had butter beans w wilted greens and feta. Awesome, plenty to share. Also got a wedge salad. Was expecting usual quarter head of iceberg lettuce. Instead was 2 hearts of charred romaine. Great twist. Was huge and delicious. I had fish & chips. Batter very light, not a beer batter. Very tasty, fish very light and flaky. Not strong or fishy. Fries were great, not a traditional English “chip.” The wife had swordfish, was a prix fixe special. She said was very good, don’t recall the topping. Came with sautéed okra w onion crisps as appetizer. Was excellent, plenty to share. Overall, a lovely evening. Food, service and atmosphere all excellent. Highly recommended. We’ll visit again.

We loved, loved this gem of a restaurant in Savannah!! We went back twice during our stay. Food was outstanding, fresh and unique perspective. Comfort food elevated not pretentious. You can tell the Chef really pays attention to the details. Interior is cozy, organic modern. Staff was attentive, engaging and “on it”. I see the other reviews about poor service and I can tell you we didn’t have that experience at all. Enjoy!!

My wife and I had just finished a long day of walking around Savannah Georgia and we didn't want to go to a touristy restaurant or one that was too expensive, so as we were walking down the street towards Martin Luther King I saw this interesting glass windowed fronted restaurant that seemed low-key and relaxed and so we walked in and sat at the bar. At the time we did not know that the person behind the bar was the owner of the restaurant as we engaged in pleasant conversation while ordering a cocktail. There was also a woman behind the bar who was a bartender and she was very nice and friendly. One thing that we've learned about Savannah's and the local culture is that it's laid back and oftentimes you need to ask or be outgoing when it's busy however this wasn't the case and the owner and the bartender were very friendly and we got to know them their personalities and the vibe of the restaurant. My wife ordered a seafood dish and I ordered a cheeseburger and the portions were just right The food tasted delicious and the atmosphere was very good. The pictures I posted have us with one of the hats to market the restaurant which she gave us and a photograph of the owner himself which show much how he was very friendly and outgoing. Also they have three different types of oysters that I know of and may have many more from different locations around the country and around the world and they were very tasty and good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who's looking for a more laid-back low-key and local restaurant which does not charge exorbitant prices and where you can get a taste of the local flare.
