45 Bistro - Savannah (GA)

4 /5 Dan Baumann: Great food, good low key pleasant vibe. The table servers are wonderful. My wife and I visited twice and both times the male bartenders were disinterested and seemed bothered by us when they did finally come over and acknowledge us for our order. When I asked if I could pull and extra barstool from the corner to a very open area of the bar, the response was as if I asked if I could light the stool on fire. Good place, good food, experience brought down by the 2 male bartenders. We visit many bars, taverns and restaurants while traveling (its one of the best parts) these were the only "poor" experiences we had in Savannah, out of maybe 20 places. Shame, hope your experience will be better.

5 /5 Lena Thorpe: ​A wonderful dining experience at Bistro 45 ​a few days ​ago. We were very pleased with both the food and service, and we found the restaurant to be very cozy. I particularly enjoyed the Tuna Tostada, Escargot, and Mozzarella Salad. My husband​ - his Tuna Carpaccio and Ribeye steak. For dessert, the Traditional Crème brûlée and Georgia Pecan Dacquoise were delicious! Our server was also very accommodating and professional. ​A Great French bistro experience!

5 /5 Julie: Food was very good. Mushroom risotto had parts that were slightly hard and crunchy. Cocktail presentation was sad but tasted good. Service was good- waitress was very fast - like so fast she leaves before I finish my sentence lol. Otherwise it’s a very beautiful inside with white linens, candles, and local artist artwork for sale. Connected to the hotel next door.

5 /5 Kara 4Today: We held our wedding dinner and reception here at 45 Bistro, and it was the best decision we could have ever made!! The food tasted AMAZING and was a beautiful presentation, the servers and staff went above and beyond, and the ambiance was everything we could have dreamed of! From the moment I called to check availability and gather information to the day after the wedding, and all of the discussions planning in between, Jenn and all of the staff we worked with provided the absolute best customer service, also including Laura, who took care of all of the florals, and Chef Christian went not only above and beyond just for us, but also to accommodate our daughter’s anaphylactic dairy allergy. We received nothing but praise from all of our guests on the food and servers. THANK YOU to all of you, from the bottom of our hearts! We look forward to coming back, and hopefully for all of our anniversary dinners as well.

2 /5 Edwin Walrad: I really wanted to give this a better rating — 45 Bistro is an excellent restaurant once you get in the door. We had an 8:00 PM reservation to celebrate a milestone birthday for my husband. We met some friends at the bar for a pre-dinner drink and I checked in with the host about 20 minutes beforehand. Unfortunately, our friends waited nearly 20 minutes just to get a drink at the bar, which didn’t feel very welcoming. Then came the real issue — we weren’t seated until 9:00 PM. You might ask, why wait an hour? Because it was a special occasion, and the restaurant came highly recommended. Once seated, our server was wonderful, and the food was excellent — truly no complaints there. That said, a few of the dishes and glassware were not completely clean — like they had skipped a run through the dishwasher — which was surprising for a place of this caliber. And before we even finished our entrées, we were asked to order dessert because the kitchen wanted to close. That felt rushed and disappointing after waiting so long to be seated. What really stung, though, was that no one ever apologized — not at the bar, not at the host stand, not even when we left. Sitting in a nearly empty dining room after all that waiting was not the evening we had planned. I’m sure not everyone has this experience, but the lack of attention to detail and the complete lack of acknowledgment for the inconvenience made what could have been a fantastic evening feel disheartening.
