Elizabeth on 37th occupies a historic mansion in Midtown Savannah, its Regency and Victorian architecture setting the stage for a dining room built around formal, dressed-up evenings rather than casual drop-ins. The restaurant has anchored Savannah's fine dining scene for more than four decades.
The kitchen works in refined coastal cuisine paired with Southern hospitality, supported by an extensive wine list. That kitchen won a James Beard Foundation Best Chef award in 1995, following finalist nods in 1992, 1993, and 1994, and the restaurant was also a 2000 finalist for the Foundation's Outstanding Service award.
The mansion itself has drawn its own attention: Georgia writer Pat Conroy described approaching the lit-up house at night as being drawn toward "light and warmth" before the smells of the kitchen took hold. It remains a fixture for guests seeking a traditional, formal Savannah dinner.
