Kelly at the 1540 Room restaurant was attentive and had stellar recommendations for drink pairings with our dinner. The food was phenomenal. The chef even came out and helped us identify a song from his curated playlist. The bartender, the one they called the "Mad Professor", made us outstanding drinks (one which wasn't even in the menu but had been in the past). My husband and I had dined there as part of our honeymoon tour and we loved it. I can't recommend it enough. If you want an intimate experience that pulls on your heartstrings, you can't find a more emotionally moving experience than this. It IS the epitome of dining in Savannah.

Simply wow. This was hands down the best meal we had in Savannah. The menu is innovative and the food is abundant in flavors. The duck confit was the most exquisitely executed version of this dish I have ever had -- perfectly crisp skin and moist and tender meat. We also had the Turkish manti, which was different from anything we've ever tried but the textures and flavors were so unique and perfect. Kelly was our server and he did such a great job walking us through the menu and making us feel welcome. I only wish we would have arrived hungrier so that I could have ordered more dishes.

I popped into 1540 Room during my stay at The DeSoto. The restaurant staff was very friendly. The gentleman at the hostess stand was full of energy and suggestions and a really great start to my day. I came in for breakfast before heading out for the day and they offer quite a few filling breakfast options. I had the avocado toast that's topped with as egg, spinach, and tomatoes. So delicious and it carried me at least until lunch. I also stopped in before leaving and picked-up breakfast to-go. The smoked salmon and toasted bagel with accruements were perfect to eat on my way to the airport. Overall, 1540 Room is a good option for breakfast or if you just don't feel like venturing outside of the hotel to find food.

Do yourself a favor, and just order whatever Paul recommends. Fantastic experience start to finish, the food is incredible but what makes it even better is the presentation. The steak tartar is presented in a super cool smoked table side reveal but it’s the best tasting tartar we’ve ever had. We had the grilled oysters with mole butter which has ruined us for normal butter. Main course was the NY strip with their house made aged Worcestershire sauce (which they should bottle and sell) and the Lamb sausage. We couldn’t possible entertain dessert but certainly wanted to. Cocktails were top notch, but what put it over the top for us was Paul’s attention to detail and the perfect mix of attentiveness and letting us enjoy our meal. It’s inside the DeSoto hotel- easier to find than you think.

Our food at the 1540 Room was amazing, so flavorful and complex in flavor and technique. We really enjoyed the beets app and the steak tartare with the curated egg yolk. For mains, we had the duck breast and the steak. So delicious. Kelly was our server and he was informative and friendly!

Always sad when I have to leave this beautiful city... but the sting was lessened by a wonderful meal at the 1540 Room. I thoroughly enjoyed the Merguez lamb sausage entree...beautifully seasoned and portioned, not to mention the 2 lovely raw oysters that opened my meal. My husband was very happy with his NY Strip, seasoned and cooked to perfection . Coffee and and the olive oil ice cream dessert rounded out the meal. Our waiter P.J. took superb care of us, tempting our taste buds with a Pinot Noir tasting ahead of the meal, and making superb recommendations along the way. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be grateful for the memories created, until we are able to visit this fine city once again!!!

1540 Room is incredible! A must dine experience! Chef Collin Clemons farm to table creations give life to your taste buds. We jumped in just for appetizers and drinks for the first time. The cocktails are creative and very tasty. All juices are squeezed fresh. The pork belly was fantastic. We also tried the grilled oysters. They melt in your mouth; so tender! The tahini was the best we’ve ever had. Kelly, our waiter was excellent and very friendly. Being first-timers to Savannah, he gave us many sightseeing recommendations and was very attentive. We would highly recommend 1540 Room to anyone wishing to have a very memorable experience.

Breakfast is so good. Avocado toast is huge and so filling. Dinner is great, too. Had the oysters and cornbread to start. I had the mushroom bolognes and my husband had the steak. Both were delicious. The drinks are a treat too. Def worthy of trying if you're in the area or just staying at the hotel.

Im a local of Savannah and found this on Resy. It’s in the DeSoto hotel which is a nice spot. Honestly for the quality of the food and service, the price was excellent. PJ was our server and the whole staff were very friendly and helpful! I would absolutely recommend this for a nice relaxing dinner.
