When I first heard about the opening Savoy I was excited to enjoy a new fine dining venue in the city.  The excitement quickly faded as my friend and I arrived.  To start, they had a tacky red carpet outside without a single person in line to get in.  Some people may not enjoy a wait to get into a restaurant, but I take that as a sign of a happening place that I want to try, especially on an opening night.  Second, they had an advertisement wall with the name of the restaurant plastered all over it, supposedly you could get your picture taken there, but this is not NYC and there are not paparazzi swarming to take your picture to show up on page six, or even a well known Pittsburgh magazine for that matter.  What are you going to do ask the 300lb bouncer to take your picture? C'mon! This red carpet will soon be in the used and abused section of a thrift store because I do not see this concept lasting too much longer, and as for the advertisement wall...cut into mini advertisements that people place under windshield wipers of cars at strip clubs.\n I am still keeping an open mind about Savoy at this point.  This is then shaken again as we walk into the main bar/dining area.  The lighting is all off! I am sorry, but no one fashions well in lime green and yellow hue.  This bringing me to my next disappointment, the overall crowd and atmosphere could be described as \"classy\" urban.  Now don't get me wrong, there is nothing I love more than a well dressed African American, there is just a certain swagger that is exhibited.  The crowd definitely missed the target on this one! It was like there was a sale at Men's Warehouse and everyone got a suit and forgot to get it tailored.  The women I can't even get into there was so much wrong with it, but last I checked a pleather uni-color suit were out! \n Finally the menu, well I hope you brought some cash ladies and gentlemen! We started at the bar with two Johnny Walker Blacks on the rocks.  The bartender was not knowledgeable at all with her scotch or how to prepare it.  First off, she had no clue what we were asking for and held up a bottle of Hennessey and asked if this is what I wanted.  What part about Johnny Walker did you not get? Finally, we get what we ordered, but piled with ice...not how to serve scotch.  Now, between my friend and I, we have dined at some actual classy establishments across the country and never paid $48.00 for two Johnny Walkers! Good luck staying in business with these prices!  \n Out of disgust and curiosity we choose to just look at the menu.  We should have known that it would be nothing but overpriced, mediocre, bland food that lacks anything signature to the restaurant.  I respect soul food and enjoy it very much on the occasion, but fried chicken does not pair well with this \"classy\" atmosphere that is trying to be exhibited.  I will never return to this place, nor will I recommend it to anyone, unless you are looking to spend bill, arrive in a rented Cadillac Escalade and rock your 100$ suit for the evening paired with your \"Gucci\" glasses.
