Review summary
AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Savanna offers a unique dining experience with its safari-themed decor at the zoo. Guests rave about the "amazing" food, including perfectly cooked steaks, blackened mahi mahi, and lamb. The service is frequently praised as "phenomenal," enhancing the overall experience. Despite its hidden location, it's a "hidden gem" worth discovering for its live music, robust menu, and delicious dishes like the French onion soup and bread pudding. While some guests noted occasional service lapses, Savanna remains a favorite for its great atmosphere and memorable meals.

The food was excellent. We had filet mignons and house salad with a champagne vinegarette dressing that was delicious.

The food was great and the service was very nice and prompt. Atmosphere was nice, with soft music playing was a plus. We have been wanting to come for a while and finally had the chance. Very pleased.

We had a great dinner at Savanna. The foid and service were great. There was someone playing guitar and singing. Loved the zoo vibe. It would be even better in the summer. We will definitely go back.

Excellent tasting food. Only complaints are everything is a la carte and I had the worst lemon drop martini ever for $16.

Thank you for dining with us and sharing your experience Robert. We elected to craft an a la carte menu so that you as the customer can create the meal that you want. We are sorry to hear your martini did not meet your expectations. We would love the opportunity to make you a drink again and be sure we meet your expectations!

Neat to be in a restaurant within a zoo. I had a great swordfish dish. There was a great singer who did Beatles and other favorites. We sat in a booth from a room with bars, looking into the bar area, giving illusion of being in a cage. Not fancy but great food and service

Average food in a restaurant that doesn’t have ambience. Service was adequate. Noise level was high even with so few customers.
