- Construction has resumed at The Vault on Bull Street in Savannah’s Victorian District. The space is the latest effort from Sean and Ele Tran, owners of several area restaurants including Ele, Tangerine, Chive Sea Bar and Lounge and King and I. Ele tells me construction was only delayed about three months, and they are hoping to be in business by late September. The space will feature outdoor seating and a “marketplace” for grab and go sandwiches, sushi and other things.
- Grilling corn next weekend or this summer for that matter? I found this link incredibly helpful. I can taste it already.
- There’s a new chef and a new approach at Rocks on the River inside the Bohemian Hotel on Bay Street. I had lunch there recently and was wowed their Scallop with Quinoa and Tomato Relish dish. Sound fantastic? It was. Healthy and delicious too. The Grilled Peach Salad deserves a mention as well. Check out their lunch menu here.

They say it will be totally casual and a whole lot of fun on the bar side of their space on Whitaker Street in Downtown Savannah.
