This place is incredible! House cut fries and the steak bites with blue cheese fondue were both incredible. We loved the fried shrimp, too. They have a bloody mary and mimosa bar, too! We ate there on a Sunday for lunch. Oh and the staff is quite remarkable and attentive. Great establishment!

It may be unfair to rate the food, since I only had happy hour bar bites. For the price and variety, I was wholly satisfied. Nit-picks were my top slider bun was dry, the slider itself was exactly what I would expect a burger to be. The fried grouper bites tasted more like the fry oil than fish. The hot rib and cheese dip was the star for this visit. The staff were efficient and attentive. They seems to enjoy each other's company, so it it was less busy, I think they would have had time and inclination to be friendly with the customers. The bar area was packed and dining room was booked, so getting the level of service I experienced was amazing.

We went for Happy Hour on a Saturday. Arrived around 4, plenty of seating. When we left at 6, there was a line. Food was overall delicious. I wouldn't get the Bao bun again it was just ok. The hogfish slider was spectacular, getting that again for sure. Ceviche wasn't traditional but still good, shrimp was only slightly overcooked. We also got the swordfish special (not pictured) and it was phenomenal. Creme Brulee was delicious - I usually prefer more custard and a more caramelized crust - but I still thoroughly enjoyed it and would get again. Drinks were good - ample wine list, nice selection of draft/craft beers and full liquor. Our second visit was just as good as the first. Again at happy hour, the hogfish and wagyu sliders were great. Mussels, goat cheese dip and mushroom lettuce wrap were all delicious. Ceviche wasn't as good this time, we called is pico but enjoyed it anyways. We will be back best happy hour in Pinellas.

My wife and I went here yesterday sat at the bar and enjoyed happy hour drinks and food. I had a water oak mule and my wife just got the house red wine. They had hogfish sliders and wagyu sliders for 4 each which is a great deal. They also had shortrib fries for 5 for the happy hour special which goes until 6:00 everyday. We also tried an espresso martini which was great, and yes, included the coffee beans on top. Will definitely be back.

Did not disappoint! Yummy berry expresso martini. And the crab stuffed grouper was delicious.

This is a great place. It has outdoor seating and the food is always on point. The staff is incredible. They go out of their way to make sure you are being taken care of. I love coming here with my dog, they are always really accommodating and have a doggy menu. Everything is amazing, but I highly recommend crab cake Benedict for brunch, short ribs for dinner and their incredibly unforgettable key lime pie.

Stopped in Wednesday for 1/2 price Wine Wednesday on bottles with live jazz. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly service. Shout out to Julie for her genuine smile and subtle sense of humor. Request to move outside handled congenially. Returned Thursday for "the Best Happy Hour in Safety Harbour" It IS Savanna commands the bar with diligence, competence, and a quiet humor. Engaging without being intrusive. Drink and fare suggestions were honest and accurate. Received our order in a timely manner - everything fresh and tasty with good presentation. House wine was fine, extensive options available. Draft beers feature some local options and some staples. Bourbon guys ( or gals ) - this place is for you. Especially if you're a Buffalo Trace fan. Several hard to find pours available at reasonable prices. Flights of 3 are also available in 1 oz pours. Overall excellent. Will return often. One of those reviews I am hesitant to write for fear of ruining a great find by divulging the details - but the establishment definitely earned a 5 star review

My husband and I ate here for dinner tonight and were blown away. Out waiter, Louie, was friendly and on top of his service. We ordered the braised short rib fries appetizer to start and it was incredible. The short rib was so flavorful and the fries were perfectly crispy and seasoned well. We then split the crab topped grouper with garlic mash and veggie medley and enjoyed every bite. We sat outside and enjoyed dinner on the patio and it was a wonderful atmosphere. We will definitely be back!!!
