Description:
This is one of the hottest and most appealing restaurants in Savannah, with award-winning food; a high-ceilinged and airy space that emulates a hip restaurant in, say, Sydney or London; and a gloss of historic authenticity that's Savannah all the way. It occupies the top floor of an antebellum cotton warehouse that was used by Sherman's troops during the Yankee occupation of Savannah. Past the sprawling cocktail bar into the dining room -- adjacent to windows with high-altitude views over the Savannah River -- you'll find the restaurant's pride and joy: a map painted by Union troops directly onto plaster, showing their idea of the juxtaposition of Georgia with Tennessee and South Carolina.
Culinary hip commingles with Southern pride on this menu. Lunch features sandwiches that are more creative than those of many competitors. Dinner might include a pulled-pork egg roll with barbecue sauce, hot mustard, and peach chutney, and popcorn grouper, served in a movie-palace cardboard popcorn box, with rémoulade sauce. The best main courses include braised shank of lamb with cherries; boneless filet of pork with butternut risotto; spicy wild Georgia shrimp over grits smothered in gravy made from andouille sausage and tasso ham; Black Angus filet mignon with roasted garlic demi glace; and cornmeal-crusted grouper with citrus butter sauce and peach chutney.

Nice restaurant
-
Food is good and we all enjoyed our meal. Right on the Savannah River and a couple of stories. Service was good; drinks were good. Nice place to go just before going to the theater.

A Second Great Dinner at Vic's
-
This was our second time dining at Vic's and it, like the first, was excellent. We had prime rib and grouper-both we're delicious. Service was outstanding.
