Visitors to Savannah’s artsy Downtown District will love the region’s high energy. With an open appeal, plenty of shops, and an allure of places to eat, it’s hard enough to try to fill a restaurant right away. On a recent visit to this country, there might be something in mind that was not too pleasant, while maintaining the attractiveness of the people. A solid drink menu would be even better. We sat down at a trendy viewing spot Café at the City Forum (aptly named).
Vibe
The front of the cafe was beautifully furnished with covered tables in a portico. Say hello to that big white statue of Marilyn Monroe on that porch a la “Seven Annus Ritus (saturating the shore tossed by the wind) .-sized black and white cut-offs guarded the front door and “greeted” their customers in a small touch, but this look gave the place a completely trendy vibe.
Service
we should not wait very long to be seated by the guest. But I was very surprised at how long it took a member of the wait staff to come and initialize our drink orders. Our waiter was a friend. But he seemed to be distracted. The odd thing is that there weren’t many customers at this time of the evening. Several tables were sitting empty. And a quick glance at the rear view of the establishment revealed several other persons in the vicinity. After receiving our cocktails (which were delicious), and ordering our appetizers, they picked up the service a bit. However, the waiter seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. But from what we could see, he didn’t really have many plans to attend to.

The authoritative design of the cases made me believe that the dinner table would be quite large. But I was surprised that the map itself could not be so inclusive. A top supporter section produced a few favorites, but nothing memorable stood out. My friend wasn’t that hungry and ordered a salad greens and a bowl of Chicken Gumbo . b>. But when his meal arrived, he was disappointed to notice that the salad was larger than the plate on which it was placed. As a result, huge arugula and lettuce leaves were falling on the table. As it turned out, the gumbo was a delicate chicken and vegetable soup. According to her, it was tasty, but it didn’t represent the “gumbo” very well. In addition, she was misled to ask for bread or crackers – as these are typically offered with soups and salads.
I ordered Chicken Cordon Bleu. According to the menu, this meal includes chicken breast stuffed with ham and brie, then baked. Fluffy pastry in creamy wine. It is served with pasta and vegetables. Much to his delight, the Cordon Bleu was scrumptious. I was expecting “garden variety” chicken breast topped with ham and covered in some kind of cheese. but the description was dead-on, and such was the taste. The flavor of the bacon and ham literally bursts forth with every bite. And the pastry was perfectly cooked, which was the appetizer. But the pasta and vegetables were a bit bland. I was expecting to see a small crop of colored grass on my plate. But apparently the chef opened a bag of mixed veggies and tossed them tastelessly into the pasta pot—for a few isolated chunks of broccoli and a couple of scallions made their way to my plate. Fortunately, the “wine sauce” and Cordon Bleu made for a slightly bland affair.
Some Mentionables
I will say that for an establishment as sleek and trendy as this one seems, the women’s bathroom left a lot to be desired. The existence of two stables looked to be undermined. But the toilet facility itself just wasn’t that worldly, which was a huge draw for me. I was happy to rub my hands and get out of there quickly.
Full and spacious if you are looking for a convenient place to eat in the downtown Savannah market. Café in the city Market place is a great place to stop. It is accidental; therefore, there is no need to worry about the stuff of reservations or about ambitious people. Therefore, the prices are very reasonable. Both meals, including our alcoholic beverages, are barely $30.
