Best WLM Reviews
This unsuspecting little restaurant on West Congress Street has been on my list of places to visit for well over a two years now but I kept putting it off in favor of other restaurants. Truthfully, a bit of my hesitation had to do with the mixed reviews I'd seen online. But I was determined to check this spot off of my list so I jumped.
First, the atmosphere is lovely. The place has the ambiance of a fine dining restaurant with touches of artwork showcasing local scenes. The entire scene was clean and inviting and I instantly liked it.
Next, a host greeted us and ushered us to our reserved table. The waitstaff was exceedingly friendly and delightful and, on the whole, the most pleasant part of the experience.
We ordered our appetizers, the duck egg roll and rabbit ravioli and they were so delicious! There was no hint of gamey flavor about the rabbit at all. Absolutely no complaints!
Unfortunately, this is where things begin to take a bit of a turn.
After the appetizers, I ordered a red wine to go with the main entree that I had ordered…the wine arrived and the main did not. I was approached by one of the servers and told that they were preparing a batch of the braised pork shank I’d ordered but it would be a long time before it was ready and inquired if I would like to order something else.
I went with the stuffed trout and continued to sip my merlot which, now, would not be with red meat but instead fish. Oh well, small bump.
Our entrees arrived and my partner was unhappy because his swordfish was very dry. I asked if he wanted to say something to the waitstaff but he declined. He didn’t want to make a fuss.
However, it soon became an unavoidable situation as I took a fork full of my stuffed trout and out came a long strand of hair.
The staff were honestly very accommodating and offered to subtract the cost of my meal from the ticket, provide me with a replacement complimentary meal and a complimentary dessert.
I passed on the complimentary meal but I decided to give the dessert (cheesecake) a try and it was lovely.
My partner honestly has no desire to return and I left feeling very much deflated, with good reason.
Will I give a.Lure another chance to get it right in the future? I’m not sure but from location, to atmosphere to service, this restaurant has everything going great for them…except, unfortunately, some of the food.
About a.Lure-

This had potential to be a better dining experience but fell flat.
Atmosphere:
I took my daughter for a Mommy/Daughter date in Savannah. After countless restaurants turning us away because they were fully booked- we stumbled upon this restaurant.
The decor was inviting and we were seated near the back of the restaurant..Directly behind us was a table of teenagers...yeah.
Service:
I wonder if all the staff were newly hired as no one seemed to understand guest services. The staff behaved as if this was the very first restaurant service and it made for an awkward dining experience.
There was a lot of attention to the kids and very little attention to other guest...not a great start.
Additionally, one server was a bit dazed and not fully present- very strange interaction. However our server was lovely, she was attentive and competent.
Food 3✨
We started with the crab cake and duck egg rolls. The duck was cooked to perfection in the egg rolls and they were loaded. The tangy mustard BBQ sauce provided an unexpected but pleasurable twist to the duck confit, this was a win. The crab cakes were flavorful- but smelled strong, however I did not care for the sauces-
Entrees:
My daughter had the Wagyu burger, she said it was good and she enjoyed the truffle fries. I ordered the Pork Shank w/goat cheese grits. I wanted to love this dish, sadly it was left on the plate.
The grits tasted as of they were days old, they were both chunky, under cooked, and runny. Just a terrible mouth feel. I didn't taste goat cheese, rather the grits tasted like ketchup. The pork was tender and cooked beautifully. However, the sauce did not pair well with the pork leaving a bland taste.
Overall, this was an underwhelming meal. Sadly, the staff noticed that one of the kids behind us did not enjoy his meal and offered him something different. We did not have this courtesy extended to us..
Consistency is key. Your staff rolled out royal treatment for one table and left the other to be rained upon.

This was our first time to A Lure and it didn't disappoint. We were kindly greeted and seated right away. The atmosphere was upscale and pleasant. Our waiter, Christopher was personable and well versed. His recommendations were on point. They had a nice selection of wine as well as a full bar. A.lures menu had plenty of options. The deconstructed duck ravioli was a nice experience. All the flavors packed a punch and the sauce was fantastic. We also had the crab cake for an app. Which was plated with 2 sauces including a Wasabi cream and a sort of mango chutney. I had to try the peas and carrots which are a staple here. It lived up to the hype with 3 huge scallops along with a risotto. The sauce was a pea puree. If you like peas and carrots you'll love this dish. My better house had the days special which was seared Ahi Tuna. Both dishes will be hard not to order next time but the menu is plentiful and I will have to try the shrimp and grit along with the pork shank next time. Overall I am very please and intend on inviting friends and family here next time we dine.
If you are in Savannah, you have to stop at A.lure. This place has the best drinks, the best service (shout out to Eric and Pablo and Sean!!) and the food is out of this world! The portions are huge and the selection is elevated Southern comfort (the shrimp and grits are incredible). The atmosphere is warm and inviting, as well as approachable fancy. We will most definitely come back every time we’re in Savannah!
So good! Jordan’s service was excellent—he has such a great personality. My cocktail and meal were both great. At first I side eyed the size of my crab cakes but it really was the perfect appetizer—great flavor and didn’t get me stuffed before dinner. Highly recommend!
This was our first visit. It’s a small restaurant with cramped seating. My party had a reservation and we were seated upon arrival. The restaurant wasn’t busy, but immediately we could see that it was understaffed. Our waiter was tending to the entire front of the restaurant. He was extremely nice and as attentive as he could be. After about 45 minutes, our food orders had yet to be taken. Initially, my party opted to pay for our drinks and eat elsewhere. We didn’t complain. We paid for our drinks and were preparing to leave. The manager came over and apologized for our wait and offered to comp our meals if we stayed. We accepted. Our orders were placed and served within 20 minutes. My party tried the rabbit ravioli, crab cakes, pork shank, beef tenderloin and beef tenderloin burger. Overall, the food was ok, not great. Because of how the manager responded to the situation, I would give this place another try. The food was mid, but the customer service was excellent.
The Food was delish and the presentation was exquisite! When Chef Joe found out that I asked about Vegetarian options, he came out and we talked about what I may like and then he went back to the kitchen and whipped up the most delicious dish of Grits, Mushrooms and Fried Green Tomatoes! Yuuuummmmm???? We also had the BEST time talking with this charismatic Chef!!! Truly made the experience so Awesome for us!! So happy that we picked this beautiful restaurant. It was Quaint, Cozy & Beautiful! Our server, Chris was phenomenal!!! We'll def be back when we're back in Savannah.. Thanks Everyone!!
It was pretty decent. A restaurant with higher quality crowd . Food was 8/10 service was good but busy and a little more on the expensive side. The braised Rabbit Ravioli was very tasty as well as the seafood pasta I give both 5/5 those were my top 2 dishes.
