| - Located off the lobby of the Marriott hotel, Savannah Red is a small restaurant (50 seats), brightly decorated, that has been dubbed the "boldest food in Charlotte" by the James Beard Foundation.
I personally never got past the cute bar up front as it was Valentines Day weekend and we didn't have a reservation, but based on the special prix fixe menus that I saw, and the food coming out of the kitchen, it looked delicious! The menu is filled with southern treats with a modern twist.
Staying at the small bar (6 upholstered chair stools, max) had it's own benefits. We got excellent service for a wide range of drinks and good conversation by the bartender, manager and server.. I loved that they were pouring champagne freely and the server, Tonya, was buoyant, personable and, as it turns out, a fellow Yelper!
Next time I'm in Charlotte- you can bet I am going to eat here. I have to try out a menu that people described to me as amazing. If for no other reason than to be waited on by the amazing Tonya!
