Savann

Savann is a restaurant located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. We almost didn't go here, because I thought the menu items looked pretty typical, but the food the people outside were eating looked good, so we changed our mind. I'm glad we ended up eating here because the food was delicious.

Casual

Entrees were $15-$20.

Service

We ended up spending several hours at the restaurant just enjoying the food and the atmosphere, and we never felt pressured to leave. There were always a couple tables open.

Reservations

The patio was full when we arrived. The restaurant was fairly busy throughout the Saturday evening, but there was a never a wait for a table.

Items Ordered

Roasted Portobello Mushroom

Roasted Portobello Mushroom

This appetizer was really good. The goat cheese was the dominant flavor and went really well with the tomato sauce and pine nuts.

Mint Zucchini Pancake

Mint Zucchini Pancake

I didn't notice any mint taste in the zucchini pancake, but it was still very good. It was a fried zucchini patty with yogurt sauce.

Roasted Pork Loin

Roasted Pork Loin

This entree was amazing. It was very sweet with the sun-dried fruit and sweet potato. It was an unusual combination, but I liked how the sweet flavors went with the pork loin and lentils.

Grilled Marinated Lamb Sirloin

Grilled Marinated Lamb Sirloin

The lamb was very similar to a kebab, but was still pretty good. I didn't really like the yogurt sauce, but I usually don't. The risotto was also pretty good.

Chocolate Fondant

Chocolate Fondant

The chocolate fondant was a typical chocolate lava cake. It was warm and oozed with hot chocolate fudge from the middle. It was good, but nothing extraordinary. It's what you'd expect from an average chocolate lava cake.
