"The food and service for afternoon tea was fabulous! The architecture and building are quite lovely with the stained glass ceiling and Tiffany lamps. The space is not large, maybe max seating for 65-70 people inside. The estimated wait time was terrible! We were told 35-40min by the hostess but when we checked our status on Yelp, it was about an hour. In the end, we waited an hour and 15min to be seated. We were a group of 6 people and there was also a "large group" surcharge. Also, there is only one single room bathroom so often there was a wait. The price per person for tea has increased significantly over the last two years ($20 to $23/person and now $31/person. As of Dec 2025)"

"Lunch at Gryphon was an absolute delight! We enjoyed a beautiful meal sitting outside across from the squares, where the gentle breeze and the sound of the church bells made everything feel perfectly Savannah. The Asian Salmon and the soup of the day were absolutely superb — fresh, flavorful, and prepared with so much care. The service was warm and attentive, and the entire experience felt effortless and elegant. Gryphon is truly one of the city’s gems, the perfect spot to slow down, savor, and enjoy a memorable lunch. We left smiling and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend! ✨🍽️"

"Spectacular food and the atmosphere reminded me of an old school department store. They specialize in tea and related foods such as finger sandwiches, but they also have much more to offer. I encourage you to try this place out. I had the Moroccan chicken sandwich and Orange noir cold brew. Both were excellent and very filling."

"Wonderful old pharmacy with photoshoot decor. The high tea was an elegant experience and well crafted. The scones of the day was one of the best bites I've had on my life and I had to have a second order of them before we left. My only quibble is that the teapots were bog standard and our particular server must have been newer as she wasn't the most attentive. I wish I lived here to visit more often."

"If you like high tea and a fabulous experience, this is a great choice. The staff is great, the tea and food is delightful, and all of it is inside a well maintained beautiful historic building. The best in Savannah for sure."
