Savant Fine Dining
Located in a strip mall, the nondescript exterior of this restaurant is quite deceiving. From the ouside, you could never imagine the culinary delights that await you once you enter Chef Miller's domain.
After experiencing Chef Millers tasting, it is easy to see why Savant received the honor of being named one of the "2008 Top 100 Restaurants in America" by Zagat.
Smooth jazz on the radio and a semi open kitchen give you the intimate feel that you are the only patron and it is almost as if you have your own private chef.
Rose petals down center of black tablecloths give a romantic touch. Fabric draped from the ceiling and deep rich color on the walls give you you the feeling that you are in the "intimacy of someone's private dining room, with the sophistication of a big-city restaurant."
The menu is eclectic, sometimes never actually matching up to what is being served, as each day, Chef Miller recreates his tasting based upon what is locally available at the market that morning.
