Pete's Dining Reviews

A note before you continue...

Whether you're reading my features that originally appeared in Savannah Magazine or my friend Pete Lamb's reviews that appeared in the Savannah Morning News, please note that these were our experiences during the meals we had there.

Like any business, restaurants have good days and bad days. Your experiences may vary. We have included reviews that, in our opinion, are worthy destinations for you - whether you are visiting or a Savannah resident. The list of reviews is by no means complete and will be added to as I have time.

B. Matthew’s new menu needs fine tuning

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
