| - Managed to dine at Savoy twice in the past year. Both times presented identical experiences.
The entire restaurant reminds me of a Las Vegas production. From the time you park your car (don't bother with valet when there is a ton of street parking along the strip), you're greeted once by a greeter, then by a hostess, and then at some point by a manager.
Mostly a date crowd with clientele ranging from well-to-be businessmen to gents obviously stretching their pocket book to impress their gal. Overall, it definitely wasn't a crowd I seemed to identify with.
Food is decent, except the fiancee got butter poached lobster that definitely didn't sit well with her. My pork trio was tasty, but definitely nothing special.
Service is more or less where Savoy differentiates itself (each server has a business car they provide at the end of the meal). BUT, the second time we went, where we decided we just wanted entrees and a glass of wine, the waitress was visible disappointing in our soon to be inferior check and consequentially glanced over us for the rest of the night.
Overall, probably won't go back, but I can see where this is a favorite of others.
