    Visiting Savannah and had the pleasure of dining at Local 11ten. It was a wonderful evening, creative craft cocktails, really nice wine list, proper wine glasses, exceptional service but the star of the show was the food. Whipped ricotta with fry bread, leeks and asparagus salad, curry shrimp and grouper were all phenomenal.

    Our first time going to 1790 and it won’t be our last! It was fantastic! Everything from our attentive server, Anthony to our delicious meals. My husband and I started with the mussels. Probably the most tasteful mussels I’ve ever had! Next we both got a salad. He got a Caesar and I got the 1790 salad, both were yummy! For dinner I ordered the NY strip, absolute perfection! My husband ordered the lobster gnocchi, he loved them. I would have had a hard time if that was my meal. Even though the sauce was lite and delicious, the gnocchi was a bit heavy for me. Unfortunately we didn’t have room for dessert. They also had a piano player playing music. It was all a delight! Can’t wait to return!
