Great ambiance, great waitstaff (Byron)! Ordered collard greens with plastic cooked in the greens which is a health hazard. Manager came to apologize and was very nonchalant about the situation and said she was willing to replace the dish (collard greens). She was told we didn’t want another order of collard greens (I assume cooked from the same batch). We asked was there anything else she could do and she replied she could adjust the bill taking 50% off my husbands meal only a total of $11. Will I go back to eat at Savannahblue....shoulder shrug (absolutely not!).

I work for an automobile company, and find myself in Detroit on occasion. Thus far I have not been impressed with what downtown Detroit offers in terms of food. That is, until I went to Savannah Blue last night. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable; fine for a date, or a post-meeting dinner. Its right off the Detroit Peoplemover, so for someone without a car its very conveniently located (although if you don't know what you are looking for, you may miss it the first time). The food was the best I have had in Detroit. Cornbread was perfect; good flavor and texture. Not dry like cornbread can sometimes be. The menu is not huge, but there should be something there for everyone. I'm actually encouraged when I see a smaller menu because that means ingredients are probably fresher and dishes are prepared with more skill. I ordered the fried chicken with greens and yams. The chicken was cooked perfectly; moist and not greasy. Good flavor that speaks to balanced seasoning in the breading. The greens were very flavorful without being overwhelmed by vinegar as they so often are in other places. The yams were desert, good texture and just the right amount of sweet. I would highly recommend this place for anyone that wants to try a good take on southern/soul food

Absolutely amazing. The food, the staff, the ambiance all screamed fresh and new. Excited to not go to a soul food restaurant where the walls were adorned with Texas stars and cowboy boots. Chic and modern, right on the money. Loved this place, would highly recommend!

Food was very good. Ordered the black eyed pea hummus, chicken wings, shrimp & grits. Just a tad bit salty on every item. Just short of five stars. Good service as well.
