Alligator Soul

Georgia > Coastal Georgia Region > Chatham County > Savannah

Read What Alligator Soul Is Saying About Itself…
aligatorsoulexteriorrgb238.jpgChristopher DiNello is now the Executive Chef, and carries on the traditions of Chef Hilary Craig where “everything” is made on the premises, a rarity by all but the most discriminating establishments. We’re frequently asked, “Why did you choose to name your restaurant Alligator Soul?” The word “soul” is meant to represent your integrity and values. Who you are and what you personally stand for. The “alligator” is meant to represent your outward appearance. Integrity is what matters most to us, and people can clearly see that by what you put on the plate!!

  • The atmosphere was great, the food was outstanding, but above all the service was probably the best of any restaurant I have been to. Our waiter made us feel as if we were the most important people in the world! The prices were on the high side, but it was well worth it. I highly recommend Alligator Soul to anyone visiting Savannah!‎ Courtney on TripAdviser 11/6/2009.
  • The food is fresh and they chose local ingredients when available. The shrimp and grits are to die for. The staff are both professional and warm and friendly. I enjoyed it so much, I returned for my last night in Savannah. Sandraf9873 on Zagat 8/2009.
  • It was well worth the cost for a great dining experience in a unique underground setting. Check it out if you’re in the area. mmgfrnj on CitySearch 8/2008.
