Current Kitchen & Cocktails Savannah

We were recently in Savannah over Memorial Day Weekend and were having a difficult time finding a reservation for our part of eight...thankfully, we found Current Kitchen. This restaurant is about a 15 - 20 minute ride, but well worth it!! We arrived and were seated promptly...our server was Colt, very knowledgeable about all the menu items and very friendly. We started off with some appetizers, several sushi rolls which were very good and calamari!! The entrees were equally as good...I had the Fiery Chili Garlic low country boil...contained shrimp, crayfish, sausage, corn on the cob in a phenomenal broth. Others had risotto dishes, the lamb chop special, snapper and sea bass...everyone cleaned their plates. We saved room for dessert and were equally pleased...key lime cake, tuxedo bomb ganache and pecan pie with vanilla ice cream. When in Savannah...make sure you add this to your list of restaurants!!!

Beyond expectations! I live out of town and return to visit family. I have been hearing about this restaurant for a few years so when it closed I was sad I never took the time to go. It has now reopened so I made plans to have a meal here on my next visit. I am so glad that I did!! I love to get steamed Gyoza but have not had a fried version that was worth ordering again, these are amazing! The exterior is light and crunchy almost like a crispier egg roll. The ponzu dipping sauce is perfect, not too salty. The Chilean sea bass risotto is on the Specials menu from your server, but I’m told that it’s regularly on there unless they have sold out. They need to add this to the printed menu! Easily one of the best fish dishes I’ve ever eaten! The risotto is cheesy and creamy, perfectly complementing the light and juicy sea bass. The red curry butter sauce is wonderful (they will give you extra if you ask) and ties the fish and the risotto together perfectly. It’s not spicy at all. My dinner date got the same thing but subbed grilled veggies for the risotto. They were catmelized onions, thick cut squash and zucchini. All perfectly cooked through despite their large size. I would return to this restaurant just for this dish! We split a chocolate mousse dome dessert and it was good. Not sure I would order dessert here again based off that one though, it was fine, just not incredible like the appetizer and entree were! I would dine here again. I will recommend it to friends. It’s nice to see that the island has one special high end restaurant because you had to go all the way downtown to get that previously. I hope they stay open this time and are successful! We arrived right at 5:15 and the loud side was bright and open, maybe only 1/3 full. By the time we left all of the tables were taken and it was very loud (cafeteria-like) We didn’t mind but I was glad we had more time to talk at the beginning of the meal because we did have to repeat things towards the end. We sat in the far corner by the window, to be away from the “noisy” bar but the whole room has a decent echo throughout. If you want to chat with the person across from you after 5:45 I suggest the quiet side. Noisy side is gorgeous in the sunlight. I’ve included an updated menu - March 2022 since I did not see a recent one on here, but I think it’s very much the same as before closing. I thought the prices were just right for the food quality and dining experience.
