Arguably Savannah’s best restaurant, this shrine to fine dining occupies the oldest and most evocative part of the original 1888 Savanna Mansion on Forsyth Park, a formidable and lavish 17,500 square foot space enhanced with high ceilings, striking contemporary art installations and Victorian antiques. With its splashy interior, this is a one-of-a-kind spot is a true anomaly amid the city's antebellum charms, but a welcome sign of its diverse dining scene. The former Keyton Mansion was converted into a lounge and restaurant that pairs fine dining with eccentric touches like Versace leopard-print chairs and two beautifully designed cocktail lounges — Caisimir's and the Bosendorfer. The Drayton's cuisine is as artful as its stunning surroundings. Today the castle-like mansion at 700 Drayton Street houses one of Savannah’s finest restaurants, boasting an intriguingly eclectic décor and a mouth-watering menu, 700 Drayton Street Restaurant is a fabulous choice for anyone wanting to experience Savannah’s finest dining.
