Local 11 Ten Food & Wine
In a city with as much architectural infrastructure as Savannah, the adaptive reuse of buildings is nothing new. When Local 11 Ten opened in this former downtown bank building, it immediately put the vault to use, as a cozy and exquisite private dining room. But that out-of-the-box thinking was not limited to design. The menu at the “Seen and be seen” restaurant has from day one been a harbinger of cutting edge cuisine. Diners can begin the night with a cocktail among the Live Oak branches in the restaurant’s rooftop “The Perch” lounge, then escape to the dining room for dinner of, perhaps, confit pork belly, pan roasted quail, creamed Carolina rice, mushrooms and quail demi-glace. Heartier you say? Try bison hanger steak drizzled with bordelaise and accompanied by winter root vegetables, fingerling potatoes, greens, goat cheese mousse. Seasonal menu changes, excellent wine list, craft cocktails.
