Savoy Now Open
Savoy , located in the original Fins location on Lead Mine, is Raleigh’s newest contemporary continental restaurant. It features "contemporary cuisine and a large wine list, designed as a multi-course experience influenced by seasonal availability. The chef’s tasting list changes weekly but may include dishes such as pepper seared salmon steak with risotto style butternut squash, filet of beef with shitaki-duxelle stuffed potato and buttered lobster and pan-roasted duck with creamy duck cracklin polenta."

I think the Savoy is worth a visit. I thought that although a bit pricey (great flavors but small portions), the meal was enjoyable. At the same time, I split a bottle of good wine, had a salad, appetizer, dinner, dessert and a glass of port and with tip it was a little over $80 for my portion. Point being the prices are not outrageous. The scallops were my entree’ - very tasty but just three and was more appetizer size than entree’. One thing that stuck out as being unworthy of the rest of the food they are serving - their bread was pretty much a loaf of industrial baggette style bread you could pick up at Costco (while Costco’s may be better), I was surprised at how poor it was given how much thought went into everything else. Maybe this has or will change.
