Savannah dining features restaurants famous for their down-home southern style. During your visit, be sure to sample the City's culinary delights.

Whether you choose a casual spot for lunch or upscale dinner, Savannah restaurants offer a unique experience with lots of classic Lowcountry flavor. You'll find shrimp and grits, black-eyed peas, fried green tomatoes, homemade biscuits and plenty of peaches prepared in countless different ways.

Here are a few recommendations for where to find a great meal among the many Savannah GA restaurants:

• Cha Bella: This upscale restaurant features innovative, seasonal cuisine using fresh, organic ingredients.

• Elizabeth on 37th: This Savannah tradition offers upscale Lowcountry cuisine in an historic southern mansion.

• Jazz'd Tapas Bar: The highlight here is the live entertainment playing jazz and signing standards from Sinatra's era on various nights. Generous tapas and well-made cocktails top off the night.

• Lady & Sons: Paula Deen's restaurant featuring traditional Southern cooking. Though it's a landmark, many say it's been far surpassed by the city's other offerings.

• Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room: If you don’t mind company, try family style dining at Mrs. Wilkes where the Southern soul food gets rave reviews. There's almost always a line, but fans says its well worth the wait for this landmark restaurant.

• Noble Fare: Fine dining in a romantic spot off the beaten path.

• The Tea Room: This unique restaurant is true to its name offering countless varieties of hot tea. Lunch is served with soup, tea, and a plate of small desserts. The ambiance is that of a delicate and elegant tea room, yet casual enough for an everyday lunch. Be sure you have plenty of time to enjoy your meal - haste is not the order of the day here, but tea is best enjoyed slowly after all.

• The Olde Pink House: Fresh, locally inspired cuisine with plenty of seafood on the menu. Reservations strongly recommended. Located at 23 Abercorn St. Tel: 912-232-4286. I had a wonderful dinner here - the restaurant is elegant and romantic, the food is delicious and creative, and the service is excellent.

• SoHo South Café: A quirky, casual spot for a fresh, Lowcountry lunch.

• Sweet Potatoes Kitchen: Laid-back, inexpensive and certainly unique, this local favorite puts a healthy twist on traditional southern fare…yes, I said healthy, but it's also fresh and delicious!
