Chive Sea Bar and Lounge, Savannah, Georgia
Located in the Old Historic District of Savannah, Chive Sea Bar and Lounge came highly recommended. It’s decor is inspired by the decadence of the roaring 20’s in the oldest City in Georgia.
Chive Sea Bar and Lounge, Savannah, Georgia
We stayed at nearby Kehoe House and ate at Chive twice it was so good. Perfect were the Vegetable Spring Rolls ($12.00) with a glass of Lamberti Prosecco from Italy ($ 14.00). The She Crab Soup ($16.00) and a very cold glass of Maso Canali Pinot Grigio, also from Italy was perfect on hot Southern days ($14.00).The House Risotto ($8.00) is a delicious side dish.Spring Rolls are a savoury Chinese snack traditionally made during the spring with spring vegetables – hence the name. Spring Roll Pastry made with wheat comes in various sizes and is typically used for deep fried Spring Rolls and Samosas. Spring Roll Pastry is not to be confused with Spring Roll Rice Paper, much larger, thinner and used for fresh Spring Rolls like our Thai Shrimp (Chicken) Rolls. She Crab Soup is made from the female blue crab and its orange color comes from the roe. Similar to a Scottish Seafood Bisque, brought by the early settlers in the 1700’s; She Crab Soup seems to have localized in the South Carolina Low Country (Charleston) and Savannah. It is a signature soup not to be missed. We love Risotto of any kind. This signature Italian dish was found on several menus in the Southern U.S. Do make the Chive Sea Bar and Lounge a destination if you are in the area. We would absolutely return.
Notes
Mike paired a glass of Champagne with the Spring Rolls and I had a crisp cold glass of Pinot Grigio with the Soup. Both were delicious. We had tastes of the rich Risotto and the sparkling and Pinot and both worked very well.
