1540 Room

15 E Liberty St, Savannah, GA

Crema's Take

Nestled in the historic DeSoto Hotel, 1540 Room serves thoughtfully composed dishes that showcase seasonal ingredients—think grilled oysters with complex flavors, fresh catch with bean ragout, and an avocado toast that's genuinely substantial—paired with an impressive wine list that reflects the same care. The vibe leans toward leisurely, with outdoor seating perfect for lingering conversations, though service can be a bit stretched thin during busier hours. Whether you're stopping by for a late-opening breakfast or settling in for dinner, this is a spot where the kitchen's attention to detail shines through in every plate.

The food was delicious. I had one drink because I was only offered one. The server was nice but incredibly innattentive. Looked like one waitress for the whole room. Even had to ask for water.... Put water jugs on the table and hire another waitress. Ruins what was clearly supposed to be a "fine dining experience".

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.

I must agree with Whitney Ince on their review. This place is not bad, but not 5-star worthy. I came for steak, but was suprised that there was only one steak option, Coulotte. The steak is tender, however, extremely overseasoned (I think steaks are overseasoned to mask the low cut grade). The sauce underneath and the steak have contrast flavors which throws the entire dish off. Simple solution: salt and pepper the steak and allow the sauce to flavor the dish. Also, ordered medium but my steak was basically rare in the middle. The test of a good steak is how well it's cooked during busy hours. I did not send it back, but made mention to staff who agreed it was rare. All in all, $38 for the dish is reasonable with the expectation of 3-star. Service: Best I have recieved in Savannah! Ambiance: Chef's kiss. The open kitchen show is a great concept!

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.
