So I decided today to see what all the fuss was about over at Savor.  I have to say that I was impressed.  My co-worker and I headed over there and had a very tasty lunch and were there and back in an hour.  She had the Caprese panini with proscuitto added and declared it tasty.  I had the crab cake sandwich and really enjoyed it as well.  The sides today were potato salad and a coleslaw with vinagrette dressing.  They were temporarily out of the potato salad (they were furiously boiling potatoes as we ordered) but since coleslaw pairs so well with crab cakes, I selected that.  My co-worker, who dislikes mayonnaise-based coleslaw (I think she’s crazy!!) was pleased as well.  The salad was zesty with a good crunch level.  I recommend it if they have it available. 

I want to comment on their beverages as well.  I initially had the raspberry Italian soda which was refreshing without being too sweet.  My co-worker had the chocolate peanut butter speciality drink.  It was to die for!  Think a chocolate peanut butter milkshake without being thick like a milkshake.  On the way out, I got the raspberry chocolate truffle drink (yes, I was on a raspberry kick) and it was equally good. 

I only have two small complaints.  They do pick-up dinners but only until 5:30 pm.  Since I get off work at 5:30 pm, this means that I will never be able to partake of their goodness for dinner.  I understand that working later isn’t fun for everyone but I did notice the request for being open until 6 pm in their mailing list book, so it appears that I’m not the only one challenged by their hours.

Also, the menu in the restaurant labeled my sandwich as being a lump crab cake.  Alas, there was not a lump in sight (or taste to be more accurate).  Now, I don’t necessarily think that using lump crabmeat for a sandwich is necessary, so I didn’t mind the lack of lumps; however, it shouldn’t be advertised that way.

I want to go back and try the Elvis panini. It’s similar to something that I make at home sans the brioche.  I can only imagine that brioche makes it even better.

If you don’t trust only my opinion for eating at Savor, I’m backed up by two other reviews:  inRich.com and Richmond.com.
