Fine dining at its best. The 1540 is a locally sourced farm to table, fine dining establishment. One of the best diners my wife and I have ever had. My wife enjoyed the local catch, and I enjoyed the pork chop. Pork is my favorite meat. I ordered it well done and it was cooked perfect. Homemade bread with butter. The oysters came with their own house made hot sauce. Desserts were amazing. You must make a reservation. Our reservation was made months in advance. Looking forward to my next experience at the 1540 very soon.

Amazing food and great waiter too. One of the few places in Savannah I really consider fine dining, with fresh and local ingredients and a small well curated menu. Try the steak tartare!

Simply wow. This was hands down the best meal we had in Savannah. The menu is innovative and the food is abundant in flavors. The duck confit was the most exquisitely executed version of this dish I have ever had — perfectly crisp skin and moist and tender meat. We also had the Turkish manti, which was different from anything we’ve ever tried but the textures and flavors were so unique and perfect. Kelly was our server and he did such a great job walking us through the menu and making us feel welcome. I only wish we would have arrived hungrier so that I could have ordered more dishes.

Amazing! The food was so flavorful and complex. Our waiter, Kelly, was awesome. He was super informative, friendly, and fun. He gave us some other recommendations about places to visit while we were in town. I would definitely come back!

Fusion is the only word that comes to mind to describe the food, but that really undervalues what it is. Every sip and every bite was packed with flavor in layer after layer. An absolute delight.

Make a reservation while you can! The chef is a rising star. We were visiting Savannah for a week and enjoyed many of the top restaurants and bars. A friend of ours mentioned the 1540 Room and said we must try the steak tartar. I haven’t had steak tartar in years and I was intrigued that a young chef would take on this classic dish. It was amazing! Topping the tartar is a house made marinated duck yoke that pares perfectly with the hand cut, locally sourced beef. Im sorry I missed taking a photo because the presentation was so much fun I forgot. My husband and I selected wines by the glass. Our server Kelly has a beyond typical knowledge of the wine list and excellent service skills. You can tell he is a professional from the moment you enter the dining room.

Great dining experience! The menu does change, since most of the items we saw in other reviews weren’t on the menu, but I find that exciting, and we had fun browsing and trying things. Some of the flavors we had were very interesting, and unique. I really enjoyed it.
