Frommer's Highly Recommended

One of the city's most consistently stylish restaurants evokes a low-key, counterculture bistro, but its cuisine is grander and more cutting-edge than its industrial-looking decor and its level of hipness would imply. Christopher Nason is the owner and the most talked-about chef of the moment in Savannah, preparing what he defines as a "coastal cuisine" based on seafood hauled in, usually on the day of its preparation, from nearby waters. If you opt for a table here, you won't be alone: Scads of media and cinematic personalities will have preceded you. Collectively, they add an urban gloss of the type you might expect to see in Los Angeles. Launch your repast with endive, rocket, and baby field lettuce with sesame cream sauce and confit of tomato and Stilton cheese, or barbecue wild halibut with sweet corn broth. Each day the chef serves a tasting menu -- based on the market price -- that includes an appetizer, salad, main course, and confections. Ask about it -- it might be your best dining bet.
