Review by Stephania

The Cotton Exchange Tavern is a cozy spot on River Street that balances historic charm with a trendy vibe. We popped in for lunch and couldn’t resist the legendary peel-and-eat shrimp. They were perfectly seasoned and accompanied by a rich butter sauce that made each bite divine! The Cajun tortellini was equally impressive - rich and flavorful. Service was swift despite the bustling atmosphere, and the coffee was a pleasant surprise. Great place to relax after exploring Savannah! ☕️
