    We had an incredible evening at Savor, opting for the four-course meal with wine pairings—highly recommended. The food was creative and beautifully prepared, with highlights including the confit rabbit, smoked boar, oxtail dumplings, and a fantastic cheesecake with plums. A couple of the other dishes seemed heavy on the salt, but overall, the experience was excellent. Preston, our graduating server, was wonderful. Truly, the whole team was thoughtful and accommodating. Can’t wait to go back for both the cuisine and the hospitality!

    Skylar, our waitress, was fantastic and the whole experience was better than any restaurants around town. From the personal greeting and opening the door for us to the ambiance of watching the kitchen staff working together. I would recommend this place to everyone for a wonderful date night.

    Love experiencing each semester’s menu. Food and drink’s were great but a few suggestions (would have been better served at a hotter temp(the dumplings).
