Savor is one of my favorite hidden gems on Morehead (near freedom). The restaurant is divided into two sides with great artwork in both. The front room is brightly colored with high top and regular tables plus a full bar. The back room is exposed brick with lots of natural light from the windows. The specials are written on the chalkboard in colored chalk.
Today, I ordered the same thing I always get: Carolina Shrimp & Andouille Sausage Gravy over Yellow Stone-Ground Grits. Yum. A good size bowl of stone ground yellow grits with peppers, onion, lots of sausage, shrimp, and just the right amount of sauce. It's one of the best in Charlotte. The price is $13.50/$16.50 (lunch/dinner). My only improvement would be to add a couple more shrimp!
I came here today for a solo birthday lunch after a really long week. I mentioned to Tony (my server) that it was my bday when ordering dessert: warm butterscotch bread pudding with ice cream. I was pleasantly surprised that he brought it out with a birthday candle in it!! That was super sweet and made my day. And the bread pudding was AMAZING. That and the banana pudding are must haves.
To top it all off, he brought me my bill and told me it was all on them today. You don't run into that kind of kindness often anymore! They have a fan/customer for life!
