Savoy bears all the trappings of a rustic country inn, right down to the exposed wooden beams, the roaring fireplace and the wild game that's often roasted therein. A Soho foodie destination for years, Savoy offers bold permutations on American meat and fish classics, including recent standouts like salt-crusted baked duck, sautéed organic veal and roasted halibut in clam broth. — Andy Bailey
We were lucky to be caught off guard, late and hungry, near Savoy. We had a great meal, a delightful staff to wait on us and a very pleasant atmosphere. It was lovely to discover that, sometimes, when you don't have a reservation, you can have such a pleasant surprise.
Going to dinner at Savoy last night with my mother and sister, I was struck by the physical beauty of the space and the deliciousness of the appetizers. The entrees had their problems but were still quite good. However, all of this was overshadowed by the blatent coldness, rudeness and smugness of our very pretentious waiter. He seemed to actually show disdain for us, on varying levels, throughout the meal. Although, I have been a fan of Back Forty (Savoy's sister resturant) and enjoyed the food at Savoy, I can not see returning to a place where my family and I were treated this way. I usually do not notice service one way or the other as I am focusing on the meal itself and my company, but this was, unfortunately, impossible to ignore.
