We spent the night in Savannah while on our way to Key West and stayed downtown to stretch our legs and explore the city a bit. I liked the city, but would probably have gotten bored if I stayed much longer. Downtown was nice with plenty of restaurants, cool shops,
and, of course, beautiful squares.
Recommendation - We had the best dinner at Rocks on the River. We both had salads, because it was ridiculously hot, and we just cannot take in a lot of food when we are that hot. We shared the bruschetta appetizer (minus the cheese). Then, I had a caesar salad, which was standard, but good. Kyle had the pulled chicken chopped salad with the best dressing ever! Thankfully Kyle shared his meal and now I cannot talk enough about how good that salad was. The table next to us was on the fence about whether or not to order it and we told them it was a must. After, we walked around a bit and I managed to squeeze in a candied apple.
Funny story - We went to the hotel bar so Kyle could drink his dessert and talked with the bartender and some of the other patrons. While talking to an Irish school teacher, who was enjoying some time off in the U.S., we found out the bartender is married to a Rossiter. In fact, I guess there is a Rossiter Square somewhere in Savannah that her family is responsible for. It was Irish-fest in the Hilton Garden Inn.
Sidenote: The Hilton Garden Inn serves FREE ice cream in the lobby.
Sidenote 2: I could not help but wonder how a school teacher from Ireland could afford a month in the U.S. just traveling around. I also could not help being super jealous.
