Great Restaurants of New York City
If you're seeking a restaurant where you will enjoy a relaxing afternoon or evening with very tasty food and remarkably attentive but unobtrusive service, you won't find a nicer place than Savann. A small cozy place, Savann is usually filled with a casual neighborhood crowd. Considered by some to be one of the better small affordable restaurants in Manhattan, this brick-walled, dimly lit spot features French cuisine, with an eclectic and multi international twist.

Most of the patrons that have visited New York’s famous expensive French restaurants quickly realize the food here is just as good, if not better than any of them. The food in general is first class, as a fresh, creative menu, is accompanied with wonderfully well-prepared creations.

Diners enjoy such dishes as Warm Baby Spinach Salad, a heartwarming appetizer which is served with black-peppered goat cheese, radicchio, roasted oyster mushrooms, grilled zucchini, caramelized pear, and toasted with a pepper coriander emulsion. Pair that with an entrée like the signature Seafood Savann – a dish of linguini cooked with shrimps, scallops, white beans and pancetta – and you can’t miss.

Savann is the perfect spot for a weekend brunch as well. There are no lines, and the mouth-watering food coupled with personable waiters will make for a completely enjoyable start to your day.

The owner is a charming gentleman who takes a personal interest in his customers and makes everyone feel at home. All in all, Savann is a splendid venue in a neighborhood that is overloaded with noisy, expensive restaurants.
