This was our second time dining at Savour. In my best Howard Hewitt voice, the second time around was better than the first time. And the first.tikenwas fantastic. I have been in a reviewing mode as of late so I will continue... The Location | It is on Park, next to the DoubleTree, and across from the Park Ave parks filled with huge oak trees and moss which is well lit to glow beautifully at night. Good vibes when you walk out of Savour in the evening. Street parking on Park is available metered until 18:00 (I think), and easily accessible. The Space | It has that a new age old southern decor and feel. The seating and tables are a little tight but you will forget about it once the food arrives. Yum. The space appears to have three different ecos: the bar área, the quiet side, and the back. We were on the quiet side. The Service | The front of the house was good and engaging. I do not recall the woman's name but she was lovely and communicative. We had a reservation and we were seated quickly. Sam waited our table and it is clear that he loves what he does. He was knowledgeable, helpful, candid, funny, engaging, and when I told him that I don't drink alcohol and wanted a Mocktail with Coconut, he said: I got you. He came back with a drink that was excellent *and* a challenge: 'if you can name the ingredients in the Mocktail, you dinner is on the house.' What? After a few questions to set the rules of engagement, we got six of 7. It was a fun challenge and I appreciated it because I am always searching for good NA dranks. The Vibe | It was all about the Food, us (the Customer), and Sam (the conduit between the Food and the Customer). The Food | Fantastic...for a second time. We ordered two dranks, two appetizers, two entrées, and a dessert. • Coconut Mocktail. It was very good. Once I learned what the ingredients were, I realized that I couldn't taste some of them. I will perfect this at home. Thanks to the bartender for sharing the recipe and for the challenge. • The Shazam. It was ok. • Classic Caesar. Hard to make a bad one and the homemade croutons are a nice touch. • Tuna Tostones. It was one of the special that night. It should be a regular menu item. The plantain cup was a perfect vessel for that sushi item. We are still tasting that one. • Thai Snapper. It was ok. I am not sure that we would order it again. The Asian flavors were different and dynamic. The snapper was a little dry and maybe it needed to be in the sauce with more sauce. I dunno. • Shrimp and Grits (No Sausage). Well done. So very well done. Better than any that I have had in a long time. What made it sooo good was the sauce, the veggies in the sauce, and the thick consistency of the grits which held together underneath that crazy good sauce. It was so good that I asked for a soup spoon. • Lemon-Blueberry French Bread Pudding. Sheesh. Loved it. We should have ordered two. The Price | $130 before tax & tip. The Summary | Favorite Restaurant in Tallahassee. Chef Brian Knepper does it well and no one does it better in Tallahassee. Chef Knepper, What can I do - work? pay? - for the recipes for the Shrimp and Grits and the Lemon-Blueberry French Bread Pudding?

I can’t believe I waited so long to try Savour! The French/Cajun menu is amazing, but I was immediately drawn to the shrimp & grits with a side of crispy brussels sprouts and lemon blueberry bread pudding for dessert. At first bite I’d swear I was back in Nola. Even the coffee was exceptionally delicious. I will be back.

My husband and I have had dinner at Savour for our anniversary for the past 2 years and both times were great. The ambiance is cozy and elegant. The service is always wonderful and worthy of a special occasion (or not!) Sam was our server and he was awesome. The food was delicious and the drinks on par. We also love to sit at the bar and have lite bites and drinks. Go to Savour, you won’t be disappointed!

We enjoyed a fantastic dinner here with a group of friends. From the appetizers to the salads, main dishes to dessert. Our server was wonderful. He was friendly & knowledgeable. He gave a spot on wine recommendation based around a flavor profile that hit all the right notes. Would definitely recommended Savour!

Savour (restaurant). One of the best culinary experiences in town. They have a rotating charity drink and specials, in addition to the standard menu. I got the 28oz porterhouse. Its was cooked to medium perfectly. The cocktails are superhero themed, which is unique for such a upscale restaurant. The desserts tonight were a peanut butter oreo pie and a keylime pie, which was the best Ive ever had, as I like mine tart and most places cant get it that way. They have have some highly skilled chefs creating expert food. Its definitely worth your time for special occasions!

Incredible first time dining experience. Staff was above and beyond wonderful, food was perfect from the temp to the seasoning, drinks were delightful. You must get the burnt ends appetizer and save room for dessert! I can't wait for the opportunity to return and explore more of the menu. Highly recommend for any occasion. Just go, do it, do it!

If you haven't tried Savour yet, put it on your to do's. The Whipped Feta is reason enough. So are the Orange Beef tips. Those are just the appetizers. Excellent attentive service. No rush fine dining in Tallahassee. Reward yourself

If you ever want to be made to feel special, this is the place to do it. I have known the owner's family for years and this is their finest effort. Exquisite food, top notch service and ambiance to match any of the finest restaurants you would ever encounter. Thank you Savour for a lovely night.

Savour is the restaurant equivalent of a warm hug. This hidden gem in downtown Tallahassee does it again. From the moment you step through the front door, the ambiance delights and the food is just as impressive. Highlights: the shrimp appetizer, pork chop, and lemon blueberry bread pudding are impeccable. Imari, our server, was skillful at her craft. Attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Quite possibly the best fine dining experience I have had in my life. The owners go out of their way to introduce themselves, making the experience extremely personal and intimate. Along with that, my party was given complimentary Prosecco and dessert for our birthday celebration. The food was phenomenal, but nothing compares to the hospitality. If I could come here on a daily basis, trust me I would. I cannot give this place nearly the credit it deserves. Come soon and come often if you enjoy having wonderful experiences.

Tonight was the first time I had been to Savour. I went with all my brothers and their wives. Let me first start off with our waiter Alex. He was amazing! Very knowledgeable, he knew all the dishes as well as the daily special. He suggested the daily special which today was Sea Scallops with mushroom risotto. I think four or five of us ordered that. It was wow!! Oh and the Mac and Cheese with truffles....... wow just wow!! I will definitely be back! And I'll take some friends with me!!

Solid food for solid price. I would’ve loved if their ingredients were higher quality though since the shrimps weren’t that fresh. I wouldn’t have minded paying premium for them. Also, the dishes that needed the Maillard reaction were just kind of burnt.

Excellent location for a special event. Made a Friday night reservation and our table was ready upon arrival despite it being a busy evening. The food was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Seasonal specials make each visit a unique experience. Oh, save a little room for dessert or you’re just missing out. It's a cozy restaurant, so depending on your table, your neighbors may be close, so just like all neighbors, they can impact your experience.

My husband and I had dinner here for our 14th anniversary last night. When we first arrived to check in for our reservations, the wonderful greeting really set the mood. We were seated immediatly at this beautiful intimate table, not too long after our waitress arrived Jessie. She was so helpful for the entirety with all of our questions, and we had a lot being that this was our first time. The customer service was at it's upmost best, from beginning to end. Everyone we interacted with was extremely pleasant and really made you feel special. All of our dishes were absolutely delicious, all cooked to perfection. We both had steak dinners which were up and beyond and ended with bread pudding for dessert, totally mouthwatering. Highly recommend this restaurant, especially for a special celebration. It is a MUST try!!

Just an absolutely lovely evening. Danny, our server was outstanding. Very knowledgeable about the menu and engaging. The osso bucco was exquisite, the mushroom risotto was perfect. The chocolate mousse was so rich and delicious. Respectable beer and whiskey list with a unique, well put together super hero themed cocktail menu. Nice, quiet atmosphere fit the menu and service very well.

Excellent service and staff! The gentleman who greeted as we walked in was sweet. Went here for the first time for my birthday and it was amazing from the beginning to end. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant is a classic feel, contempaorary even. The food came out fast and each bite was deliciousness. Our water glass was always topped off without asking and I was given a complimentary dessert. Will be back! Exceptional service.
