In Short
The dining room, with banquettes covered in rich fabrics against terra cotta-colored walls, attracts business travelers, families and couples who enjoy a quiet night on the enclosed terrace. The menu features French- and Italian Riviera-inspired dishes, including shrimp and scallop purses with lobster emulsion. Seasonal soups, such as pumpkin and lobster, and fish, including tuna or red snapper should not be missed. Add a side of truffle mashed potatoes. End with a Valrhona chocolate souffle.

EVERYTHING IS EXCEPTIONAL AT SAVONA, THE FOOD, THE STAFF, EVERYTHING.... UNLIKE MANY OTHER HIGH END MAINLINE RESTAURANTS SAVONA PAYS ATTENTION TO DETAIL. THE RESTAURANT IS IMMACULATE, THE STAFF EXCEPTIONAL, AND THE FOOD OUT OF THIS WORLD. YOU NEVER HAVE TO WAIT FOR ANYTHING, ITS LIKE THEY KNOW WHAT YOU WANT BEFORE YOU DO. GREAT PLACE FOR BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY OR EVEN JUST AN ADULT NIGHT OUT. THE BRUNCH IS JUST AS GOOD

I took my wife for our anniversary. The food was fantastic and the ambience is terrific but the experience was stained by the wine list prices. It is offensive to see a bottle of Jordan Chardonnay priced at $120 when it is $35 retail. I understand that 100% mark up is to be expected but this is ridiculous. The same pricing metrics held for Chalk Hill, Dutton Ranch, etc.

My boyfriend and I went for dinner one evening expecting a great meal. The service was excellent and the wine list extensive. However, the food was mostly a dissapointment, particularly so due to the high price which goes with the expecation of great food. Between the two of us, we ordered the foie gras and escargot as appetizer, and the signature dish of filet of sole as well as the lamb as main. The foie gras was excellent, the escargot bland, the sole was acceptable but not taste bursting, and the lamb okay (one piece was decent, but another was tough and chewy) but again not mind blowing. The combination of so-so food and a non-enticing desert menu prompted us to end the meal without desert (and I'm 99.999% of the time never one to skip on this crucial finish to a complete meal). We are foodies - we eat at all the highest rated restaurants and hole-in-the-walls for the best tasting food regardless of price or decor, period. The pricing at Savona ($300 for the meal) came with great expectations, yet they delivered a equally great dissapointment. We will not be going back.
