3 Best Restaurants in Moon River District, Savannah

The Wyld Dock Bar

$ | Moon River District Fodor's choice
Enjoy elevated fish-shack food with yacht-rock vibes at this former marina where many of the patrons arrive by water. Order at the counter for a fresh catch of the day prepared perfectly; pair it with flavorful sides like Mexican corn and skillet okra. The craft cocktail set will find their thirst slaked with the famous Painkiller Slushie, though no one will look at you sideways when you order just a good ol' cold beer. Kids of all ages entertain themselves for hours with free cornhole and ring games on the sunset side of breezy Country Club Creek, a tributary of the Herb River.

Driftaway Cafe

$$ | Moon River District
In the heart of the historic Sandfly neighborhood lies this "casual coastal" eatery where folks from the surrounding islands come to unwind. Choose from small dishes like firecracker shrimp tacos, turkey club wrap, or tuna tataki salad for lunch or dinner; larger entrées like grilled mahimahi and pan-seared scallops are available after 5 pm. It's a place to enjoy great food without having to change out of your flip-flops!

Pearl's Saltwater Grille

$$$ | Moon River District
Seafood specialties and fine steaks are served with golden green views of the Herb River at this longtime local favorite. Parmesan grouper, crab-stuffed flounder, and a "shrimp-three-ways" platter are the crowd pleasers, though there's delicious pasta and steak dishes for turfier appetites. Large tables can accomodate large parties, and an intimate meal at the three-sided bar is a romantic treat.
