The restaurant closed in September 2017. Another great restaurant that didn’t make it in a crazy world. As I write today we are a few weeks into the coronavirus pandemic. There are going to be a lot more notices like this one.

Elizabeth’s on 37th
| Elizabeth on 37th opened in 1981 as the creation of Chef Elizabeth Terry & her husband Michael. |
| Brother’s Greg & Gary Butch, long-time employees at Elizabeth on 37th, joined the Terry’s as partners in 1988. This dynamic combination has assured the continuance of Elizabeth’s high standards of great cuisine & service in lovely, comfortable surroundings. |
I called after one afternoon a day of visiting sites in Savannah on a comfortable 105 degree August day. They assured me I could eat if I got there before any of their regular customers showed up despite my attire of tee shirt and shorts. While I ate dinner and found out more about their relations with the Dali Lama, passion about food I noticed people were arriving in coats and ties, long dresses. I had purchased their cookbook years before and loved the food but I had no idea I was entering into an amazing cultural experience apart from the food.
Hominy grill
Another casualty of the restaurant virus. I went there because they were the winners of the 2008 James Beard Award for Best Chef Southeast. Friends, if you hear of a great restaurant, go. The visit will always be in your memory and who doesn’t want a bowl of grits to dominate a dream once in a while.
