Opened in 1981 by chef Elizabeth Terry and her husband, Michael, this charming restaurant is a birthplace of New Southern cuisine. The interior of the 1900 Greek Revival-style mansion feels like home with brightly painted walls, antique chairs, and warm service. The fresh tastes and authenticity of the cuisine (Terry extensively researched 18th- and 19th-century Savannah cooking) draws admiration from across the country.
