Voted best Down town Restaurant! It’s been three years since the Grey took Savannah’s culinary scene by storm, and they show no sign of stopping. John O. Morisano and Mashama Bailey are perennial James Beard darlings—Bailey was the first female African-American chef to be nominated in the JBFA’s Best Chef category this year, an amazing feat. Tip: Sit in the front diner and ask for Andie. Tell her your guests of Sarah :)

Voted Best Wait Staff! Also Voted Best Sommelier and best Wine Selection! A cohesive front-of-house program is crucial to any restaurant’s success. Good service is more than just being polite—it’s knowing the menu inside and out, anticipating the needs of your guests, and giving a damn about the restaurant you work at. Atlantic’s servers hit all the marks and contribute to the Restivos’ vision of the perfect neighborhood eatery. Runner-Up: Green Truck Pub

Super amazing restaurant! Voted Best Shrimp and Grits! Shrimp and grits is a tricky dish. On its face, it seems simple enough—how could anyone mess it up? But ask anyone who’s had bad shrimp and grits and they’ll tell you otherwise. The trick is not to overthink it. The Savannah Shrimp and Grits at the Public hits the mark with the addition of chorizo, sweet peas, and tomatoes.
