Historic Savannah spot with live piano, classic Southern-leaning fare, and romantic vibes; great meals are common, but occasional service delays and bar issues warrant managing expectations.
17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant delivers solid neighborhood dining with exceptional historic ambiance—candlelit brick, live piano, and destination appeal for Savannah travelers. Food quality shines with standout dishes like crab stew and shrimp and grits, and service attentiveness is generally strong. However, inconsistent execution on busy nights and occasional service pacing issues prevent grade A territory, making this a reliable choice for romantic dinners rather than a premier destination.
Step into Savannah nostalgia where brick walls, candlelight, and a live pianist set a warm, historic mood. Guests describe servers who guide choices with care, and one diner said the evening felt like a "small celebration" even without an occasion. Do note a few reports of slow bar service and rare reservation hiccups on peak nights. The kitchen leans classic and ingredient-focused: Miss Annette’s crab stew, shrimp and grits with Tasso gravy, Oscar-style salmon, and steaks finished with demi or blue cheese sauce. It is more elevated traditional than experimental, ideal for travelers who want comfort with polish in a romantic room accompanied by piano rather than culinary theatrics. Families can do well here if kids enjoy familiar mains like chicken, steaks, shrimp, and pasta. There is no noted kids menu, but portions are generous and sides are approachable; the fried green tomatoes and simple salads help cautious eaters. Expect adult pricing typical for Savannah’s historic core.
