3 new american places in Savannah we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Savannah | New American across every city.
New American cooking gives Savannah's younger chefs room to reinterpret Southern produce without the rules of the classic dining room. Cotton and Rye and Local 11ten both work this seam in Thomas Square, the former in a converted bank, while Common Thread on East 37th Street brings a refined, seasonal sensibility to a restored mansion. The thread is local sourcing pushed in a contemporary direction.
