Fresh, Flavorful & Creative Cuisine with an Eclectic Twist
Since 1998, Savant has delivered on its promise of providing fresh, flavorful and creative cuisine to residents and visitors of St. Croix. Owner Tom Miller recalls the soft opening on the September night of the Christiansted Jump Up festival saying, “we’ve kept it a soft opening ever since!”
What has kept Savant going for so long is their ability to learn from the past and implement new ways of getting better and better with each dinner service. “We spend so much time at the restaurant that you make it somewhat like your living space, like you’re at home,” said Miller. That warm, welcoming ambiance combined with their fresh and flavorful dishes is a large part of the reason why guests continue to return to Savant to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries or even to pop the BIG question! “Great, friendly service, great food and the vibe of Savant is one of the enduring things that transcends everything.”
One of the most unique features of Savant is the two dining experiences in one location. Guests can choose to enjoy dinner in the outdoor courtyard which has a romantic, Old World feel or they can opt for the intimate, sophisticated atmosphere of their air conditioned indoor dining room. Both options offer the same menu that features iconic house favorites like the char-grilled baby calamari, the portobello and goat cheese Stuffed Filet and their Bacon Wrapped Double Cut Pork Chop. Nightly one-of-a-kind specials are whipped up by Executive Chef Darryl Hanna and his kitchen staff. Miller regularly encourages his kitchen to be creative with the nightly specials board as it’s their time to really flex their culinary muscles. Hanna started his culinary journey at Savant ten years ago and has been one of Miller’s favorite chefs. His mellow personality easily fits in with the restaurant’s vibe and in a way, shows how the establishment has come full circle. “He’s more like family than anything else, getting us back to where we were before with some classic things we used to do in the beginning and some new things as well.”
Savant is open Monday through Saturday from 6pm to 10pm. For more information, visit their website at www.savantstx.com or call them at 340.713.8666 to make a reservation.
