Cozy neighborhood eatery

Chrissy Clary
Picture this: it's a balmy Savannah evening, the kind where the air is thick with the scent of magnolias and Southern charm is served alongside every plate. For Jeff and me, there’s no better way to celebrate our anniversary than at Ardsley Station. Nestled at 102 E Victory Drive, this cozy gem combines the comfort of Southern-inspired cuisine with the vibrant energy of a bustling eatery. Trust me, make a reservation, or you might end up scrounging for a seat at the bar—though I must admit, the bar can be a surprisingly fun place to eavesdrop on locals. On our special night, they set us up at a prime corner table, allowing us to soak in all the delightful chaos of the restaurant. Between the savory bites and expertly crafted cocktails, it felt like we had stumbled upon the very heart of Savannah. If you're seeking a laid-back dining experience with an added touch of charm, Ardsley Station should be at the top of your list.
