When we got there the door was locked and the restaurant was closed. We did not get any notification that the restaurant was closed. We were going to the Fisher and we were now jammed up on trying to find a place to eat.

Went for our 5 pm reservation and the restaurant was closed. Phone number disconnected. Open Door sent verification that we had a reservation at a restaurant that is not in business

We LOVED Savant! The food, service and atmosphere are ALL wonderful! In addition, there is free parking across the street--a rarity in Detroit. Take advantage of all that Savant has to offer. It is truly a gem. Don't make it a "hidden gem" and keep them going strong!

Unfortunately as with many restaurants staffing hard to find. If they took some time to train their staff if would help. Food was just okay and wouldn’t go back.

I like the restaurant, but there were so many little oddities. The restaurant was out of ingredients and had to keep explaining. The water pitcher could not be found to fill our glasses. The steak cuts were a bit disappointing. The scallops and risotto was great as was the charcuterie board. Cocktails were excellent also. Overall, just ok.

Steak was horrible. Salmon was good. Customer service was good. Menu prices are a little expensive for the amount of good you get.

Overpriced. Drinks were good but nearly all $20 for cocktails. Food was decent but prices don’t match prices from menu on their website. Prices had increased significantly, but quality seemed to decrease. For example, their Ratatouille with truffle was $20 but now Ratatouille without truffle is $26. Restaurant was nearly empty on a Friday evening and decided to close at 8:30pm.

The food was incredible. We ordered the Imperial Wagyu Steak-Frites as an entree, and the meal was delicious. The sauce that was paired with the steak was excellent. I recommend pairing this entree with the Chateau Sainte Barbe Bordeaux Superior Wine. We will come back to try other entrees as well their charcuterie board. The service was good.
