HISTORIC DISTRICT. A historic mansion dating from 1790, this property was restored and opened as an inn in 1976. Its restaurant recalls a brick-and-beams tavern, and its excellent American Continental menu features dishes like pecan-crusted grouper, coq au vin, and crab-stuffed shrimp. You'll also find a half-roasted duckling, veal medallions, and a NY strip with sun-dried tomato butter. Happy hour specials attract crowds to the inn's lounge, which (like the property itself) is apparently haunted by the ghost of a lovesick young woman.

Located in the exclusive Westin resort, this dining room offers a beautiful view of the city. The kitchen specializes in premium seafood and steak dishes. Start off with she crab soup, and then dig into the signature filet, wrapped in applewood bacon. If you're still hungry, the dessert menu boasts an exquisite crème brûlée. Sunday brunch is also popular.

HISTORIC DISTRICT. A bountiful breakfast buffet draws hungry patrons to Belford's each morning, and the a la carte menu features items like a blue crab frittata and traditional eggs Benedict. Sunday brunch follows suit and includes great choices from the lunch menu, including shrimp and grits, crab cakes, and filling sandwiches. At dinner, you'll find options like Cajun lobster ravioli, shrimp-stuffed filet mignon, and grilled fish. A favorite.

HISTORIC DISTRICT. This reputable restaurant occupies a historic 18th-century stone warehouse and offers a beautiful view of the Savannah River. It does offer exemplary steaks, including a succulent prime rib, but Chart House specializes in seafood. Among its popular options are macadamia-crusted mahi mahi, coconut crunchy shrimp, and pan-seared sea scallops. Crab legs and lobster tail are also constant hits. For dessert, the famous mud pie is a can't-miss, and an ample selection of wines and whiskey adds to the appeal.

TYBEE ISLAND. Everybody loves the Crab Shack, locals and tourists alike! They've even had their share of celebrity visitors. The best part about eating at the Crab Shack is sitting under the huge canopy of live oak trees with the view of the marsh. The Lowcountry Boil, a mixture of shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes, is especially popular. Much of their seafood is steamed, which will appeal to the health conscious. Prices are also reasonable. Take your friends, wear something casual, and sit back and enjoy the view while you eat some of the best seafood in Savannah.
